forceofthegrim 16 Posted February 17, 2014 So, I am in a bit of a predicament here, and I've looked around in this section of the forums and I can't really find anything relating to this specific issue. I have Arma 2: OA on Steam, purchased and everything. But, I do not have the original Arma 2 full game. I know, I know, "you have to have the full Arma 2 game to play DayZ" but I know for a fact that that statement is just a little bit of bulls**t. In the past, I was able to do a workaround which allowed me to play DayZ using the SIX client (at the time it was still called the SIX Updater). All I had to do was download the free version of Arma 2 and make a few new folders and move some data around and hey presto it worked like a charm. The thing is, since then I have reset my computer (wiped the hard drive and reinstalled Windows). Also since then, the SIX client has been updated and upgraded, and now I am at a loss. I cannot remember exactly all the steps I took to be able to play DayZ without the full Arma 2 game and using the SIX client, and I am sure that some of them have changed due to updates, and so I was wondering if any of the kind souls on here could help me with this. I cannot be the only one who has this problem, right? Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated. I have tried all kinds of different things, but to no avail. I have managed to get the mod itself to run on Arma, but I could not find a server that I could play on. I would always get kicked or thrown some error message. So, I would much rather use the SIX client, so that I can easily browse through the servers, and not have to find a needle in a haystack with the Arma 2 multiplayer screen. Also, please do not reply with "dude just buy Arma 2 what's the big deal," because this is entirely unhelpful and kind of annoying. I have already planned on buying it once I have some spare money. The thing is, I don't want to buy it if I don't have to, because the only thing I'm really going to use it for is DayZ. I do, however, understand if this workaround has been eliminated (which wouldn't surprise me because that means more money for Bohemia), and if it has, I'll just go back to playing SA.

They deserve the money, stop beeing a cheap b*stard. I don't want you to take it personally, but seriously, don't be so cheap. A2 is a good game, not expensive and DayZ was supposed to work with it.

knar33 158 Posted February 17, 2014 https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA_2_OA:_Combined_Operations_Lite It's definitely worth the money to buy the full version of A2 though :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
forceofthegrim 16 Posted February 17, 2014 Wait. They deserve the money, stop beeing a cheap b*stard. I don't want you to take it personally, but seriously, don't be so cheap. A2 is a good game, not expensive and DayZ was supposed to work with it. I'm not being cheap, I just don't understand why I should buy something if I don't have to. I realize that Arma 2 is a cool game and they do deserve the money and all, but I don't exactly have money coming out of my a** at the moment. Thanks for the reply, but it wasn't very helpful.
