xphailedx 0 Posted January 19, 2014 Hello, I just got my game today. I bought Arma 2 and Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead. I also got the Day Z mod (only reason I got the games) Whenever I seem to start a game, Multiplayer->New->Create and then continue into my game, I can never actually play the game. It just goes shows the setting of the place, or a black screen and it's frozen there. I can hear sounds but that's it. Can someone help me out please? Thanks!

Fortune_Finder 33 Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) You should not launch the game from arma but from DayZ commander - a free software you can download by doing a quick google search. That was a lot to buy for a mod when the standalone is out :3 Edited January 19, 2014 by Fortune_Finder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fortune_Finder 33 Posted January 19, 2014 Btw you should post this in the DAYZ MOD section of the forums - not on the standalone forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-MadTommy 367 Posted January 19, 2014 Sounds like you are trying to make a new server and host rather than join a server. (You don't need to use 3rd party software.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
