Installation Help

[jakub1997lich 0]

Hello everyone,

I am fairly new to the forums so if im doing anything wrong, sorry.

I bought arma 2 and arma 2 operation arrowhead about a week ago, and i installed them both and played a little. Then i found out about the DayZ mod and i thought it was really cool so i decided to try it out.

Since then, I have reinstalled by game 4 times and tried a lot of ways to install it. (BTW this is non steam version). I have tried to install it manually by creating a folder named @dayz and then creating another one in it called addons and then i would unzip the files. Then I made a shortcut to OA and added the command thing into the target line in properties. This dident work, I had @dayz under the arma 2 logo, but everytime I joined a server it would kick me. When i would try to join another server it would kick me again, only this time it would say that i have to remove some files.

Then, I tried to beta updata my arma and launch the Arma 2: OA beta patch version of it. this had the same result and I was still kicked and it also listed the files that i need to remove.

I tried removing the files but that just completely messed up my Arma so i reinstalled and started over.

Please help? what am i doing wrong?

Heya!

DayZ is pretty tricky to install properly, especially since the newest update requires the arma 2 beta patch. I strongly advise following one of the step by step installation guides that can be found on this forum, some even come in handy video format! And when you download the game the screen tells you that you might want to use SixUpdater. This is not a trick or advertisement it really does makes it easier for you to install and maintain DayZ. I would start by downloading sixupdater and make it fix any errors you might have made during installation.

Good luck!
