interceptor 5 Posted May 13, 2012 Hello everyone,I would like to know why I can't join a normal server if the dayz mod files are in my add-on folder. I tried to deactivate the mod but it seems like that doesn't help alot. And yes, I restarted arma 2 once it has been deactivatedIt always tells me that I have unallowed files for this server : the DayZ mod files.I really hope you guys know a better solution than to remove everytime the files inside the add-on folder.Interceptor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legacy (DayZ) 1091 Posted May 13, 2012 It's only been three hours, give them some time to reply if not then a full day at the least. It's 6 AM over here, and I can't help you since I have never played the original Arma II.But it sounds like the DayZ files are still running around somewhere in your game, it's possible that the DayZ folder is still there and/or the launch options are attempting to load said shortcut?

nexerius 0 Posted May 13, 2012 Bejeebus. Remove the command line or whatever that takes the game to the dayz folder, remove that line. If it doesnt work then, remove the whole folder and try again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfpack81 5 Posted May 13, 2012 The mod files are still loading. You need to remove @dayz from your launch options. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SnR 16 Posted May 13, 2012 Hello everyone' date='the dayz mod files are in my add-on folder. I really hope you guys know a better solution than to remove everytime the files inside the add-on folder.[/quote']Ive picked up your only mentioning of a addons folder, so i automatically presume that you dumped the required pbos amongst all the original game ones ? where you are supposed to have them in a targeted @DayZ/addons folder.

interceptor 5 Posted May 13, 2012 Well I don't have steam. But I guess i found the problem. I'm trying it out nowEDIT That's my conclusion : I'm stupidI installed it directly into the original arma 2 folder :) Thank you guys for your help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iogc_broadsword 33 Posted May 13, 2012 Many servers are running the Beta patch for ArmA OA because they are combined ops servers. This is why they appear with a red x next to them.There is a far easier way to run mods and keep them updated.Six Updater, you can install mods with this, just locate the mod in the list, right click it and update / install mod. This takes all the hassle out of installing, and generally is up to date with the latest release versions. You can get Six here: http://www.six-updater.net/ArmA II launcher, this will control all your mods, allowing you to switch them on and off without having to change command lines. You can also set launch options like no pause, empty world and no splash etc to make your game launch faster, you can also run the beta patches with this by ticking the "beta" box (afer you install obviously). You can get Arma two launcher here: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=8241When running ArmA Launcher follow the setup guide it will ask you for the route of your game and if you have ArmA2 and OA. The added bonus with ArmA II launcher is that you don't need steam running to play ArmA.If you don't want to use Six (I highly recommend that you do) you can download the latest beta patch for ArmA at the armaholic website.
