I need alot of help

[TomM (DayZ) 0]

I recently bought Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead just this afternoon. I ran the game once and then installed DayZ mod (I bought the game for this mod) and it came up with error message: Downloaded content delted.chernarus or something like that. I also disabled the expansion @Dayz and attempted to play a normal Arma 2 server but ever single server says I have tons of missing files. Apparently I can get these files off steamapps/common/arma2 but I don't have Arma 2 just Arma OA and it is not in the file system

Please respond I need help

Install ArmA II:Free, as it works as a placeholder for ArmA II, just with slightly less detailed textures. You MUST have either A2 or A2Free to play DayZ.

you either need to buy arma2 or if your happy with low res graphics get a copy of arma2free you can get it from steam://install/107400 or here and copy the addons folder from arma2free to arma2oa

remeber "alot" has a lot of words

Remember "remeber" has 2 "M's"

Remember "remeber" has 2 "M's"

...and a plural M should not have a possessive apostrophe

...and a plural M should not have a possessive apostrophe

... And a plural -or singular-"M" should be in quotations.
