Hi, I've never played a pc game before, but I would really like to play DayZ. Without sounding too stupid how exactly would I go about downloading the game? I am hoping to play the game on my laptop, which is a fairly new HP Pavilion. Would DayZ even run on this laptop? Would appreciate any help, thanks.

Before the mods get in here and rip you to shreds, 

 

1. Need the specs, HP Pavilion doesnt tell us anything.

 

2. To play this mod, you need Arma 2 and Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead. Both of which are available on Steam as Arma 2: Combine Ops.

After you have bought/installed these, go to http://www.dayzcommander.com/ and download that.

 

That application will let you EASILY get all the DayZ mods and Arma  betas.

Nope. That won't run it. Nearly all laptops have problems running it.

I'm pretty sure you won't be running it on a laptop without an i7 and a GTX card.

You can it on a Radeon, and an i5 ;)

 

But he probably won't be able to run it on a laptop with an integrated GPU

i5 can run it fine

 

Most mobile i5s are dual-cores and will really struggle to run ArmA 2 and DayZ mod.

 

@OP - if you have any more questions about your laptop, please use the 'Can I Run DayZ?' topic, which you can find here...
