20. The game should now be open, if you get an "Requires addon "CaBuildingParts" error, click OK and ignore it"

21. In the upper right hand corner under the Arma 2 logo you should see @DayZ

22. If that is there your half way there.

23. Hit multiplayer, and let the servers load up, double click the heading that says Missions so it sorts the servers, scroll down till you see a bunch called DayZ

24. Pick a server that is all most full like 40/50 or 25/30 those are the best ones to be in, not only because they have other players but they have good server response times and are quick joining.

25. Join a server it will load up and bring you to a menu screen press okay in the bottom right and it will load up and join the game. If you installed correctly the game should continue on and put you into the world

26. Good luck and happy playing !

Read each step carefully, this method works i did this step by step and it worked for me and a friend, i will be making a video of how to install it once i find time, but for now you have to read.

Enjoy the game, if this helped or you see any problems with it let me know and i will makes changes.

Thank you
