Need help getting DayZ to work on my PC

[Hick-93 1]

I'm wondering if anyone can help????

 

Alright, so I bought off of steam Arma II and Arma II OA/the beta as well (combined Operations), and I installed them fully and ran them both once and then downloaded the DayZ mod off of steam and installed that and couldn't get into a DayZ server it would show them but kept giving me an error every time I went to join, so I removed everything and uninstalled as well (currently reinstalling Arma II/OA), and then read about the DayZ mod on the DayZ website but the (alpha test) button wouldn't download anything when I clicked on it just loaded and nothing else stayed on the same page. So then I read about Dayz Commander but it has 3 to 4 different download links on the website and when I click on them I either get something else downloaded ( Not the DayZ commander App) or an admin error! (im running windows 8 and have full admin use).

 

So what im asking for is if anyone can give me a run down on how to install everything correctly so I don't get errors or other things downloaded?

 

Thanks!

When you scroll down on the site of dayzcommander you see "Download DayzCommander" in a blue rectangular shape. That's the correct one for sure.

The site is full of fake download advertisement buttons. I completely understand you as i also clicked several times on wrong download buttons >:(.

 

It's really easy to get dayz commander working with arma 2 steam version. Go to dayzcommander, click on install/update on the right upper side. Install the latest beta patch and Dayz Mod.

Viola~

Okay so I got ArmaII/OA and the OA beta downloaded and then downloaded DayZ Commander and clicked on the top Install/Update but what do I click next? 

 

It says top left ARMA II: 103718 (out of date) and then to the right it says (stable) Update or something like that and when I clicked update it says (Unable to get version from server) should I be worried? Should I run the Arma II OA Beta?

 

And what DayZ update there's heaps? 

the top one says DAYZ: (not found) then to the right in a box (1.7.7.1) (latest) install?

Make sure you run ArmA 2 and Operation Arrowhead and let them load up to the main menu once each before you do anything.

 

Then in DayZ Commander install the latest beta build, which is currently ARMA 2: 103718 (Stable).

 

Next install DayZ: 1.7.7.1, all of the other mods listed are unofficial modded versions of DayZ.

 

Then you're good to go.

If you're not sure what link to use cause of all the horrid adverts then Here is the direct link.

I had a mate do the same, god knows what it does install but i suppose Josh has to bay the bandwidth bills somehow.
