Please... Help....

I don't know where to start. I've been having problems with day z for months. For one simple problem. It won't work. I've exhausted every possible solution I can think of. 

 

So back in march, I got Day Z via Steam. Saw you needed Arma 2 and Arma AO to play it. So I bought them. Worked fine for months. Then suddenly, a couple months ago it just decided to stop working. Every time I joined a server I would get a weird error message, and then the game would load for eternity and never get into a server. I then downloaded Day Z commander. I see a server. I'm like "ok I can just join servers from here". It then launches Arma 2 and directs me to a server list. Says some odd error message in bottom left corner then boots me to the main menu and I'm left thinking wtf to do now. Oh boy. Where do I start? So then I go to mods and it says my Day Z is corrupted. I repair it. Now only 4 servers show up on the server list. No filters.

 

I went to post a thread and got many people trying to help me but the "solutions" made it worse. I've tried reinstalling, verifying, manual installation, wiped every trace of Day Z and Arma 2 clean, reinstalled got more error messages, one after another and I'm just effin sick of it. 

 

If anybody has anything useful to say as a solution be my guest. I have not one fucking clue what to do. I'm stuck in a concrete hole and I can't get out,

if you have this set up on your comuputer and are willing to do this Set your data back to a previous system update.

PCs can be reset to before any system update inase your computer gets fucked. save all your files to a couple of thumbdrives or a portable hard drive and set it back to before the issue. then re-add your stuff re-download arma and dayz and it should work

 

edit: this is only a last chance thing, it will reset all your stuff form after the update you choose to reset it too. I only used this once for my brother when he accidentally chaned every file on his laptop into a .Txt file

Delete @dayZ from your Arma 2:OA folder. Reinstall it. Make sure your playing the correct version of DayZ.

I can't back up the system trust me. Had a massive virus attack a couple months ago and had to backup a few weeks. But also had to delete some backups as well.

 

To update this, I tried joining a DayZ vanilla server after having deleted literally every single possible file associated with arma or day z, I was able to join. At least 1 server. Haven't tried any others yet.

 

DayZ Commander is completely screwed for me I have not a clue what is going on with that. I tried installing a few mods such as Origins, launched Day Z from steam and tried to join a Origins server and got a odd error message. Any way to fix? -> http://www.servimg.com/image_preview.php?i=8&u=18559296

Another update. I tried joining one of the 5 servers that show up on day z commander and it worked! It was a Origins server so the mod works.

 

Basically all I have to do is solve the issue where servers are not showing up for me on Day Z Commander. If I can fix this I can play the game just fine.

You don't have any filters on or anything?

 

Internet connection is working?

My guess is filters too. You've probably selcted "Origins servers only" by mistake. Check that out first.

Found the problem! And tell this to anyone that has this same problem in the future. Under settings in Day Z Commander check the box that says "Refresh all servers automatically on startup".
