Bug - incorrect serial number?

Recommended Posts

Hey, so first time trying to run DayZ. Just bought ARMA II Combined Operations off of Steam, download the required programs and files for DayZ from the Website and try to run it. Starts up and asks me to choose a server, pick one for recruit and american. It says its updating, sure thats fine. After its done, it asks me to join another server (the one i joined before filled up). Join another one and as its loading, it says that i have the incorrect serial number given during setup. So, figure i have to run ARMA II first for the first time installations. ARMA II runs fine and installs the needed files, try running DayZ again, says i have the incorrect serial number again, but i notice at the top it has OA on it, so figure i have to run Operation Arrowhead aswell. Run the first time installs, but it says "No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgInGameUI/MPTable.shadow'." and then when i exit that window, it pops up with "Error compiling pixel shader PSSSpecularAlpha:0"...

Any and all help is appreciated.

I got the OA to run the first time installs, but now every time i try to play on a DayZ server, it says that i dont have a weapons file or the file for the hatchet. I already used the Six Updater, but that doesnt update it for me apparently.

Are you running the Day Z beta.CMD file to start? or running it through steam? if you are running it through steam, try running steam as an administrator.

Tried running ARMA II OA while running as Admin, now every time i try to run it through steam it says "Error creating Direct3D 9 Graphical engine" and when i run through the Six Launcher, it still say things about the missing files for item.hatchet and weapon


Going to delete the Six launcher and uninstall it, and also uninstall ARMA II OA, reinstall both, see if that works.
