Crash upon loading map

[TatteredKing 0]

When I try to join a dayz server I crash to desktop when at 80% on the loading map after the team select screen and all that. I am playing combined ops in admin. Has anyone had this problem and fixed it?

Do you get any error messages?

No. Windows 7 says the program isn't responding and closes it

Post your full computer specs plus whens the last time you updated your direct x + chipset/graphic drivers?

When I verify with steam it says one file is unvalidated and reaquired but it says that everytime even if I verify right after verifying.

When I reload my campaign files it gives me an error that I'm missing tree files or something if that might have anything to do with this.

Do you have issues with any other games or just Arma?

Please post your system specs.

I updated my graphics drivers two weeks ago I think when I got Toy Soldiers.

Edit: Intel core i5 CPU 760 @ 2.80GHz 2.79GHz processor

Try updating these

Try these and then repair your game via steam.

Downloaded those and reinstalled. Still crashing.

My friend found the solution

" I had to copy the ArmA 2 Free folder into Operation Arrowhead folder.

I renamed that folder arma2free.

Then i had to modify the launch option so that when i start OP, it launches arma 2 free as a mod as well.

like this : -mod=@dayz -nosplash -noautoupdate -mod=arma2free;expansion;ca"
