Ironhuge 69 Posted April 29, 2013 Hello thereYes, you need OA.Also grab Dayz Commander for ease of install.RgdsLoKI'd say withSix and Commander is terrible recommendations. These software are true bloats and contribute to next to no actual ease of process. withSix crashes your connection every other second and Commander makes you rip your hair out.The only "hard" parts with using steam as the DayZ booter is:1. right-clicking DayzMod in the steam library list and selecting "1.7.6.1" and installation of Operation Arrowhead Beta (in steam)2. Downloading the correct Beta-patch executable from http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php3. Right click Dayz Mod in steam library and chose "Play with Beta patch".I don't see why people insist on installing trouble bloatwares like withSix and Commander.

OrLoK 16182 Posted April 29, 2013 I don't see why people insist on installing trouble bloatwares like withSix and Commander.Because many of us have no problems using them? I use many different launchers and Commander is very easy for the novice.What problems are you having?RgdsLoK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigJames89 11 Posted April 29, 2013 (edited) Dayz Commander makes it so much easier, plus you clan launch dayz without runningsteam on dayzcommander Edited April 29, 2013 by BigJames89 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They do a good job and in the case of PWS/SU also manage hundreds of other mods should one want to play other Arma modded content. At 15Mb and 25Mb they are hardly bloatware imo. Just clean out the caches now and then. Edited April 29, 2013 by Horde Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toxicsludge 406 Posted April 29, 2013 Why do you consider commander bloat ware? It doesn't install any crap other than the actual program, and if you set it to close upon joining a server, it doesn't use any extra resources. Are you one of those guys that doesn't like something because it's popular? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taco241 393 Posted April 29, 2013 DayZ Commander isn't bloatware. I'm glad you know your way around the patches and manual updates but for those who don't,it a very easy and intuitive interface. It chews up an excessive bit of RAM but you can just shut it down once you're in game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iPewPewU 5 Posted April 29, 2013 I use dayz commander and it allow me to close team, so I like it.Anyway, yeah you need to buy arrow head. I recommend downloading dayz commander for easy download of other maps and finding a server fast ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
