Sounds like a driver issue or something to me.

Is your Graphicscard driver on a decent version? Also make sure to update Arma 2, Battleeye and dayz etc. to the newest version...go in the upper right corner of dayzcommander on "install/update" (yellow button) and update the stuff which is not "up to date"!

I've had that bad serial number giving in setup error I believe.

Well, first, did you run both Arma II and Arma II: Operation Arrowhead separately? (I thought that was a step)

And also, run steam as administrator to avoid that error. (Just exit steam, right click it after it's shut down, and click "Run as administer")

Hopefully that will work.

Hope I helped. :(

Hey guys...so i unfortunately raged a bit but now i'm calm and willing to be helped :D

So some more information about my problem:

1)My "vanilla" arma 2 (without dayz) works fine so that means that i has something to do with DayZ

2)Before purchasing arma 2 through steam i had the pirated version(don't lock this thread because of this)but before i installed the steam version i had completely uninstalled the pirated version

3)If you did not understand what my problem is,well lemme explain:

I pick a server through DayZ Commander right?Then i get into the server and press ok to download the mission file...after that it navigates me to a loading screen where there is usually a custom backround picture and a bar below...My loading bar loads 3/4 of it and then my computer freezes,i can't move my mouse or alt+tab and these stuff and i'm forced to shut down my computer from the button!

So that's what i had to tell you,please i want your suggestions!

Regards,

Makis

Hi. I've been looking around and this is the exact same problem I've been having with Dayz. I've tried reinstalling arma 2, arma 2 oa, and arma 2 dayz mod but nothing has worked so far. If a solution has been found please let me know!

 

Best
