I would use Dayz Commander or Six-personally I use Dayz commander. I had the same problem with joining servers after I bought the game and they were all solved by using a launcher. Good Luck. Also Dayz commander helps you see when the mods need updating.

You cannot play/edit this mission, it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted.dayz_code, dayz_weapons, dayz_equip etc.'upon joining any DayZ server.

You installed the mod or the shortcut incorrectly. Make sure you add "-mod=@dayz" without quotes in the launch options and DayZ mod files are installed in the proper folder. By default: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\@DayZ\Addons"

 

this looks like it will solev one of my problems but i dont really understad where im putting the -mod=@dayz ???

http://www.dayzcommander.com/ as always scan any downloads for nasty surprises. BTW, there is a definite procedure to installing Dayz, so looking on You-tube for a tutorial is a good idea. After the initial pain you will be effortlessly playing Dayz and the various mods, which can be downloaded from Commander. Again, good luck.

 

Edit.

 

Just for the lols please see the 1st and 4th pinned topics right above this board. Use those links instead and don't forget to scan your download.

Hey, 

 

  Nice-yeah, getting into the game is really the easy part. I would recommend Namalsk(tough environment though), Taviana and if you're into building things and trading, Epoch. Vanilla is good, but if your impatient like me, it is too much hunting for things and not enough reward. Anyway, good luck out there Dude.

 

Edit-I forgot to mention Overwatch, which is my second favourite mod, but it is heavy PVP, so I would avoid it until you get comfy with things.

DayZ Commander is the way to go, glad you go it sorted out.  Have fun "figuring it all out", that's truthfully the best part of the game.  Those first few lives when you're completely clueless.  You'll look back on them and wonder "what the hell was I thinking?"
