DayZ install question

[ocelot07 60]

Hi I am asking this on behalf of a friend. He is building his firsr gaming PC very soon. He wants to play DayZ.

Anyhow I have Arma CO via Steam and DayZ mod via steam as well. But I have a boxed copy of Arma 2 as well. So I have told my friend he can have that so all he needs to buy is Operation Arrowhead.

My question is: Is is possible to install DayZ with a boxed copy of Arma 2 and a Steam version of Operation Arrowhead? I am guessing it is fine but I just want to make sure.

If it can be done is this the correct way to do it.

1, Install Arma 2 disk version.

2, Download and install the latest Arma 2 patch

3, Download and install the lastest Arma 2 BETA patch

4, Launch Arma 2 then quit back to desktop

5, Install Operation Arrowhead via Steam

6, Launch Operation Arrowhead then quit back to desktop

7, Download and install DayZ via Steam

8, Play or Download and install DayZcommander as its much easier to find the server you want.

Should be done as easy as that, get commander and change the file locations for both Arma 2 and arma 2 OA

What do you mean by that?

What do you mean by that?

under settings in dayz commander you can change the file destination of your arma 2 and OA games,

E.g

Arma 2:

Programfiles/bohemiainteractive/ArmA 2.exe

ArmA2 OA:

Programfiles/steam/steamapp/common/Arma 2 OA.exe

Ahh I see thanks.

You don't need to download DayZ via steam.
