No grass, tree's or buildings

[fragman88 0]

Hey all, I'll start from the beginning. Last night my buddy comes over and we set up for some DayZ. We both join the same server and everythings fine. Well he starts having problems with his video. Randomly he would drop to 0 FPS (fraps still showed the last updated number) for 2-3 seconds and then it would be back to normal. We both launch with 6 Launcher so he tries launching with steam, which launches the game fine, but when he attempts to join the server it says he doesn't have the correct game version. We both then realize there is a new beta patch out so we go download it and install it. We both also delete our DayZ folder and use Worroms to re-download.

As always I start the game just fine and join a server just fine, he tries to join and it boots him saying hes missing a chernarus file. We do some research online and find a post saying that copying the chernarus files from Arma2 and pasting them in the OA folder should fix it. He does that and can now join the server, with one hitch. His player is now invisible, to both himself and to other players (we both had fraps recording so I will edit in a link to the video later on today). I suggest he checks the steam cache and go figure, he was missing a file for arma 2 and OA.

After all that he starts the game fine and joins a server, but with a new error this time. Before CO even starts he gets an error saying DayZ is dependent on somethingsomething building file, but the game starts and he can join a server. When he joins the server it tells him he's missing a scope-private file or something like that. Once hes in he realizes there is no grass, no tree's, and no buildings on his screen. He can see other players and other players (at least me) can see him. His debug monitor says there were 0/0 zombies while mine was working correctly. He couldn't see zombies, but by my guiding we ran him through some towns and he ran right through buildings, fence's, zombies, trees, etc, with no agro.

We have no idea how the final stage came about, but from reading on the forums a lot of people have had one of these problems at some point. Hopefully someone can help us out.
