DayZ Humble Bundle

[Rizarai 0]

So first hello to the this fine community!
I've recently purchased along with 3 of my friends the humble bundle weekly which included the DayZ mode for the Arma II game.

 

My other friends are able to create games and join but I am not - it keeps saying that my CD Key is invalid.
Anyone else have similar problems or has any solution?

Thanks in advance - looking forward to being part of this community.

This problem will most likely be a problem regarding the Arma 2 community, or even the Humble Bundle community, i think you should contact them and post in the DayZ Mod Forums  =)

I had this same problem after purchasing from Humble Bundle. I was able to fix by launching Arma II and Arma II Operation Arrowhead in steam prior to starting DayZ. I also ended up using DayZ Commander to patch, find servers, launch the game etc.

 

Good luck.

I too, got this mod with Humble-Bundle, and experienced all sorts of headaches, but managed to update thru Dayzcommander and was up and running....BUT, now if i try to play ARMA ll OA.......it opens up to DAYZ. I thought I saw someone else mention this, but cannot seem to find it now. I can play DAYZ, meaning I can join into a server, walk around, then get destroyed by some zombie, all in 3 minutes time, usually. Seems as though that I start with  a new character every time I switch servers, and I haven't a clue to the keyboard controls (NEW to ARMA series, also).

 

I'll take any help I can get.....love the concept, but I cannot play worth a hoot!

 

Thanks,

--A-- Those that haven't installed DayZ yet. You need to load up each ARMA 2 component before you try to install or open DayZ. So...

1) Run Steam as an Administrator - ALWAYS DO THIS FIRST BEFORE TRYING TO TROUBLESHOOT GAME ERRORS THROUGH STEAM

2) Run ARMA2 (arma2.exe), then exit

3) Run ARMA2 Operation Arrowhead (arma2oa.exe), then exit

4) Download & install DayZ Commander: http://www.dayzcommander.com/

5) Install & launch DayZ using DayZ Commander

 

--B-- If you've already installed DayZ but you can't get it to run try...

1) Run Steam as an Administrator

2) Uninstall ARMA2 & ARMA2 Operation Arrowhead through Steam

3) Confirm all ARMA2 folders are deleted: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2,  C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead,

C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\ArmA 2 OA, C:\Users\[username]\Documents\ArmA 2, C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\ArmA 2

4) Restart your computer

5) Run Steam as an Administrator

6) Install ARMA2, then run it once and exit

7) Install ARMA2 Operation Arrowhead, then run it once and exit

8) Download & install DayZ Commander: http://www.dayzcommander.com/

9) Install & launch DayZ through DayZ Commander

 

--C-- For those who want to run ARMA2 Operation Arrowhead on it's own after installing Day Z, but keep getting errors try...

1) Locate your DayZ folder. It should be: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\@DayZ

2) Rename the @DayZ folder. The name doesn't matter. So your directory could look like: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\DISABLED@DayZ

2) Run Steam as Administrator

3) Verify Integrity of the Game Cache for ARMA2 : Open Steam Library -> right click ARMA2 -> left click Properties -> left click tab LOCAL FILES -> left click VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME CACHE

4) Repeat step 3 for ARMA2 Operation Arrowhead

5) Run ARMA2 Operation Arrowhead

6) If that didn't work, locate this file through Windows search: arma2oa.exe

7) You may have more than one copy of this file. Attempt to run the game by opening each ".exe"

8) If all of C does not work, proceed with reinstall following the steps in B

I haven't seen the red triangle bug in some months. When I did encounter the problem, it was a DZC (DayZ Commander) issue. If the error is DZC side, you'll need to wait for an update.

 

You could install Epoch using Play withSIX: http://play.withsix.com. This is a DZC alternative, & unlike DZC, you can use it to download almost every ARMA mod out there.

 

Your other option is to download & install the Epoch mod manually. Here is the address: http://dayzepoch.com/#install
