Does DayZ works with ARMA X ?

[kokodas 8]

I run both game before installing commander.

And i have Bohemia Interactive folder inside the bohemia interactive folder but I was changing it manually so i guess i did it wrong. I will try i again now

[kokodas 8]

I'll let PK Ritchie finish you off (ooh err missus) because it sounds like he had the exact same issue.

yes he has the same version. 

But thank you very much for your help !

Ok mate, don't rush it.

 

You'll be playing DayZ before it get's dark.  Depending on what country you're in.

I am from Czech rep. so still have few more hours left before dark :)

This was what i was trying to tell you :) your path is messed up cause your Operation Arrowhead now goes Program files > bohemia interactive > bohemia interactive > operation arrowhead.

 

Uninstall everything again, then install ArmA 2 and then when you install Operation Arrowhead you get the choice where to install it, manually delete the part that has bohemia interactive.

It will then install correctly and not make a 2nd bohemia interactive folder, after install it will look like my screen shot above.

 

Then launch both games to install BattlEye and then install the 1.62 OA Update

 

Then install Dayz Commander and install your mods and beta-patch.

 

Job done :)

I went through it myself at the start, It makes you pull your hair out wondering why it won't work.

Only does it from what i've seen with ArmA X versions, seperately is fine.

ok, so now I am choosing where to install the OA + BAF + PMC and when I delete the path and leave the bar empty it wont let me contiue installing . So Which patch should I put in ? Programfiles/Bohemiainteractive or Program files/ Bohemia interactive/ Arma 2 ?? 

[kokodas 8]

The original path was: Program Files/ bohemia interactive/ bohemia interactive/ Arma 2 . So if i get it i have to delete /bohemia interactive so  the path would be like this: Program Files/ bohemia interactive/ Arma 2 ?

[Fraggle (DayZ) 15720]

I'm not sure if you delete just one "bohemia interactive" or both :/

What you have done above looks correct though so give it a go :) 

[PK Richie 507]

The original path was: Program Files/ bohemia interactive/ bohemia interactive/ Arma 2 . So if i get it i have to delete /bohemia interactive so  the path would be like this: Program Files/ bohemia interactive/ Arma 2 ?

Yes, It sounds like you understand what i mean :)

Just delete the /bohemia interactive, you can change the path so it goes to the same directory as ArmA 2 but it will still add the 2nd bohemia interactive by default, you delete that part and it won't add the extra directory.

Does that make sense ? I'll try to reword it if it's confusing.

So just to confirm he just need to remove one of the bohemia interactive lines from the installation path?

[kokodas 8]

It makes sense. Now I have two folders like you Arma 2 and Arma 2 operation arrowhead.

But when I join it still doesnt work.

When i am installing patch 1.62 it doestn work because some error comes up but when i install that patch trouch DayZ commander, it works

[kokodas 8]

I will now try it all over again. But  i dont know if i should run arma 2 right after the installation end or install OA and then run both games together

[PK Richie 507]

So just to confirm he just need to remove one of the bohemia interactive lines from the installation path?

Yes, installing ArmA 2 will create the bohemia interactive directory, installing OA will also create one, that is how you get 2, manually editing when installing removes the 2nd

It won't matter what order you run them, you have to launch at least once to install BattlEye

Then update OA using the link i sent you in an earlier reply.

 

Check that Dayz Commander is locating the files correctly. IN DZC press 'settings' and the paths should look like my image below :

[kokodas 8]

ok i will check that once installation is done. But weird thing is when i start installing ARMA2: OA it asks me if I want to reinstall ARMA2:OA + BAF + PMC even if it is not installed..... weird

It could be left over files from the previous installation ? when you uninstall them look in your program files folder and delete the behemia interactive folder if there is one left.

Persevere with this and we will get there :) fingers crossed it happens soon, I have to pop out soon and need to eat and shower beforehand.

[Fraggle (DayZ) 15720]

Don't worry, if you go out I'll be around on and off for a while yet.  Now I understand the issue with the Arma X files I think he'll be sorted in no time.

[kokodas 8]

i deleted bohemia interactive file before reinstall. It came up even when i was  installing it the first time.

I am starting to thing that there are some corrupted data on the disc with game. Because everytime when i install patch 1.62 therer is an error about BAF

Cheers Fraggle :)

 

Any missing or corrupted files i can send from my installation, you never appreciate Steam until you get corrupted files and rely on verifying the integrity.

[Fraggle (DayZ) 15720]

Hmmm, tbh it's unlikely but not impossibe.

 

The BAF DLC isn't actually needed to play DayZ so if there's a way of choosing not to install it try that to rule it out.  I think it's more likely that when you uninstalled though you left some data behind.  I knoe its a pain in the ass but try uninstalling and make sure to manually remove any remaining files before trying again.

[kokodas 8]

now i am reinstalling again but dont know what to do when i will be installing OA + BAF + PMC because if I leave the path which is there originally written and just delete this: /Bohemia Interactive - then there will be written this path: C:/ Program Files/ ArmA 2     but at the end of all installations in folder Bohemia interactive wont be ARMA 2 folder and ARMA 2 OA folder but instead there will be only ARMA 2 folder and another ARMA 2 folder outside the Bohemia interactive. Before that i had two folder with ARMA 2 and ARMA 2 OA both in bohemia interactive folder but it still didnt work so I am lost .....

[Fraggle (DayZ) 15720]

When you install Arma 2 just let it install to the default place it suggests.  Then when you install OA that's when you need to remove "bohemia interactive" from the path/  So the path to install Arma2 OA should read:  C:Programme files\Bohemia interactive Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead

 

 

And the intial path for Arma 2 should read:  C:Programme files\Bohemia interactive\Arma2

 

That will place Arma2 an OA in the same Bohemia Interactive folder.

[kokodas 8]

I have got Arma 2 and OA installed just like PK Richie has in his screens. But it still doesnt work. During installation of patch 1.62 the pop ups two errors about two corrupted files: air_d_baf.pbo and dubbingradio_pmc.pbo

the first one can be found: Program files/Bohemia Interactive/ ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead/ BAF/Addons/ right on the top

the second one can be found also in Arma2 Operation Arrowhead/PMC/Addons/ somewhere in the middle

Do you think it would be possible from you to send me those two files and i will try to replace them.

Thanks

[Fraggle (DayZ) 15720]

Cool, in that case you might be right and they may just be corrupted.  You'll have to wait for PK to come back because I don't have those DLC's installed atm.  Amber may have them though, I'll give him a shout.
