Problems running DayZ

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I recently installed Arma II through cd and a day or 2 later installed OA i have download (and re-downloaded) the DayZ files making sure they were in the correct path i have used all the tools in the installation guides that were on the forums but when i try to connect it would say that the map chernarus is deleted and then exit out of the server, Is there anything i may have over looked or failed to do properly? Please help as i baught the game only to play this mod.

Thanks

Ah, the bad CD key error.

You basically have to go into 'Regedit' and copy your CD key from Arma2 over to Arma2:OA. Easy process, let me find a tutorial.

Tutorial on how to fix "bad CD key for Arma 2 :OA --- Couldn't find one so I'll make one.

Go into Regedit (search for it in windows) and navigate through the following files:

1) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

2) SOFTWARE

3) Bohemia Interactive Studio

Click the folder called "ArmA 2" and to the right you will see something called "KEY". double click this and it will open a new window. Copy the funny(hex) code (CTRL-C).

Now go into the folder called "Arma 2 OA". You shouldn't see a "KEY" in this one, that's why your having this problem. Right click the right side of the screen and click "New" and click "Binary Value".

Rename this "new value" to "Key". Double click it and paste in your Arma2 key.

Your done. Try it and it should work, as it worked for me and a few friends.

Would you mind trying it? I had the "bad cd" error too. I did this and I can now play Day Z.
