installation order

Goodevening,

 

This morning i bought Arma 2 and the expansion arrowhead over steam to play dayz.

I get alot of errors when i try to join a server. Its all version errors when starting up the game or joining servers. I tried alot of fixes and things i found on forums and the net but i cant get it to work. So i gave up after a few hours of frustration and uninstalled everything again.

 

1. As a first step i am now redownloading arma 2 again.

2. When its finished installing ill start it once.

3. After that ill install OA and start that once when installed.

4. Then ill install OA beta and start that once when done.

5. These all come from the steam store.

 

From here i am lost. I see all kind of different installation ways and fixes (retail, different orders, update certain things. Can someone please help me out and tell me what to do next? You would help me out ALOT and ill give that person the first chocolate bar ill find ingame. :)

1. Install ArmA and run it to the main menu to complete installation.

2. Install Operation Arrowhead and run it to the main menu to complete installation.

3. Download DayZCommander from http://www.dayzcommander.com

4. Run DayZCommander and click the "install/update" button from the top menu.

5. Click "Install" next to ArmA 2. Wait for the download and install to complete.

6. Click "Install" next to DayZ. Wait for the download and install to complete.

7. Press "Done" to close the versions panel.

8. Filter "DayZ only" from the dropdown box on the left and join a server, if you want to play other mods/maps you will need to install them separately via the install/update menu.

This is how I always install the mod.

It will work if you follow the instructions.

 

If it doesn't work, you're doing something wrong.

Am at step 5 Smash. When i try to install it says i have the wrong cd key. But it does say it is up to date. So ive also did step 6.

Ignore that error, it shouldn't effect the installation.
