Really? What an easy installation

[yazar8 584]

I got Arma 2 Combined Ops, downloaded DayZ, downloaded beta from steam, but your friggin installation doesn't work. I regret that I paid $25 for this, If I knew that the install didn't work, I wouldn't.

 

I first got missing files error, I fixed it, DayZ loads fine, now I get bad version error, are you guys serious? Is it that hard to make a 1 click install instead of 123481249 steps installation?

Get DayzCommander, makes it a whole lot easier.

Are you asking for advice or just moaning.

There are many people that will help you here, if you ask.

 

 I assume you did read the Stickies on how to install the game.

Take a look through the New Player Forum for Guides on how to install the different variations.

[yazar8 584]

Thats what I tried too. It doesn't work, bad version again

 

 

Edit:

 

Yes I am sort of moaning because I was expecting it to be better. Im currently trying to force an update via the dayz commander, I hope it works. I read those stickies. Let me see new player section

 

 

Edit2:

 

Fixed it, this topic can be marked as solved or whatever you call it. 

 

Thanks to everyone. :)

If the server is running a different version of the mod then you will be unable to join.

 

Make sure you're running the latest ArmA II beta version (they're backwards compatible, so it's best to just use the latest) and the same DayZ mod version as the server that you're trying to connect to. 1.8 is the latest (and IMO best) version, so I would recommend going with that.

That's the beauty of dayz, you require a minimum level of intelligence to get it going. Weeds out the morons that just whine and complain and want someone smart to hand hold them.

Honestly ill pay you back your $25 if you just don't install the game. There are more than enough unless players out there.

[Mos1ey 6301]

Back in my day we had to install DayZ manually.

This seems a little harsh man. Still chances are he will play and you'd be out $25.

not harsh at all. If you buy a car and you can't figure out how to open your hood, are you gonna rush to the dealership and bitch about how they made it so complicated and how your unsatisfied about how cars work? No. You learn. Its a god damn mod, it comes with the territory. This joker made an account just to bitch about it. I feel my response is righteous and to be honest forthcoming.

Im not bitching at all and now when I look back I see that I did a mistake by posting it that way. Altthought I disagree with the fact I am a moron xell atleast you ment that. Well the problem is and the reason I bursted so much anger out is that I am not an avadage computer user. I am really in to it and I know a few things I got pissed off after 2,5 hours trying to solve it on my own. I still cıuldn't fix it. And I have 1.8 I installed the beta aswell but probably I screwed something. I do want to play the game. I require help of someone who encountered this problem like me

[Mos1ey 6301]

Well if you have problems with anything tech wise in the future punching 'how to _____' in to Google is usually a good place to start, and will often save you hours of frustration.

[yazar8 584]

Man I know google exists thats why I came here since google wont help

[Mos1ey 6301]

[Wolfensteinsaurus 2252]

Its the bees knees with DayZcommander.

Using Google certainly isn't one of them - nor are simple skills of deduction.

[yazar8 584]

CommandeR thingy doesnt help meh but I will do the installation processes again. Maybe that will help me

[brzator47@gmail.com 524]

You're going to have to be more descriptive than "commander thingy doesn't help meh" if you actually want someone to help you.

Have you run both ArmA II and ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead up to the main menu once each before installing DayZ?

 

Have you installed the latest ArmA II beta version?

Yes, I ran Arma 2 when I was downloading Arrowhead and arrowhead while I was downloading DayZ via steam, so yeah, I played both, even further than going to the main menu

 

Yeah, I downloaded beta from steam thought.look:

 

It was there, I downloaded it straightly. So in other words I skipped the beta part on the wiki page. But I tried that too.

Try downloading the beta through Commander, I'm not sure how the Steam version of the mod works as I've never used it, but I would have thought that it uses ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead Beta whereas Commander just uses Operation Arrowhead with the additional beta files.

I managed to join a server, but still some servers are in-acessiable

Are you sure they're running the same mod version as you?

[yazar8 584]

Hmm, I see 1.62 ---- and under it there's 1.8 (This is a server I can join)

 

I see another one (which I can't join) has some other 1.62---- (different than other one) and doesn't have 1.8 under it

 

I can play only on 1.8 versions? Lower versions will not work?

 

Actually posting a photo makes more sense:

Tick the 'Hide wrong mod version' box on the left hand side. That should make life much easier.

Done, one more question. I aldready read communication page, but I still can't change the group channel, I want to speak global. I didn't change anything as the keybinds.

 

When I press "." I get this:

and for example, when I press "/" I get nothing.
