Arcious0151 0 Posted November 3, 2013 Do i need to buy something to play this game? i downloaded the installer but it crashed several times saying a conflict with my net framework might be corrupt. SO i then uninstalled net framework 4.5 and reinstalled and tried the installer again and it didnt work. Then i downloaded the OTHER installer the dayzcommander and it said i had to buy arma2 or something. I am so confused and dont get what to do and i would love to play this mmo, i finally found a great game i think i could play for a long time and its not working </3 lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inception. 9443 Posted November 3, 2013 You need to buy Arma 2 and Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead in order to play. DayZ is a mod for Operation Arrowhead (and OA requires the original Arma 2). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frytek 130 Posted November 3, 2013 Read well what Inception typed. It is a modification for Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead military simulator game. Go find a tutorial on youtube how to install it. You cant play it if you have the game bought on torrents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arnt those games army games? Isnt this a whole diff game in general? I hope you mean buy. We don't take kindly to pirates here. But really, do some google searching on the topic. DayZ is a modification (a modification is a free, user-made content pack designed to change the original game in some way) of a military simulator-ish game called Arma 2 Combined Operations, which you can buy off of Steam. DayZ mod is completely free, Arma 2 isn't. DayZ is currently being made into a new, actual, improved game. It is expected to release in a an unfinished form (called an alpha) at a reduced price sometime in the next year (there's no release date yet). For more info, just ask.
