Hey there, here's the ideal (in my opinion) way to set up DayZ:

1. Run ArmA II. Wait until you can see the main menu, then quit.

2. Do the same for Arma II: Operation Arrowhead.

3. Download and install the latest version of DayZCommander. If you plan to play mods besides DayZ, Play WithSIX is also worth looking at.

4. Click on "Install/Update" on DayZCommander.

5. Update your ArmA II beta patch to the latest edition.

6. Install the latest version of DayZ (Or a previous version if you intend to join a server running it).

7. [OPTIONAL] Install any add-on maps you wish you play on.

There you go. Should take you about 10-15 minutes tops. Any problems or more questions, shoot me a PM.

What is the error message you are getting when trying to load into a server?

i have also done it like that but an error keeps coming up...

actually multiple which are:

Addon 'Ca_CommunityConfigurationProject_E' requires addon 'CA_BAF'

and when i click ok and continiue to game screen:

No entry 'bin/config.bin/CfgVehicles/House.scope'.

then when i try to join a server theres a giant text box of jibber about some file locations

What have i done wrong???

Maybe you don't have baf lite and PMC lite enabled in the expansions tab of the oa main menu?

This is correct, but you missed a few steps for people who are using non-steam installers such as sprocket from bohemia, gamefly, etc. Ftfy:

I will keep note of your changes. Much appreciated.
