Nighthunter226 0 Posted November 22, 2013 Hey guys, I recently bought Arma II combined ops and installed DayZ but, everytime I join a server, all I end I with is a character of a bird.

fully 51 Posted December 8, 2013 Normally you spawn as bird when your character tries to create a vehicle = There is something that has gone wrong!I not sure sure what version of Arma 2 you have, But a boxed product could be version 1.59/1.60 depending on it age. Should show you in the bottom right corner.Need to get to version 1.60 before adding the 1.62. After you have installed all the patches you should be running version 1.62.103718http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_2:_Update_Guidehttp://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=17252http://www.arma2.com/downloads/update/beta/ARMA2_OA_Build_103718.zip 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
