Friend can't join servers due to error.

Recommended Posts

Please don't ask why he is not making this post, there is just no reason to bother explaining.

My friend recently wanted to play DayZ with me after he heard about it and realized how fun it was, so he got Arma 2: CO and ran both game into the first missions (because you need to run both games before playing DayZ) and then installed the Six Launcher. That all went smoothly and he could use the Six Launcher to bring up the DayZ server browser, but when he tried to join a server (and yes, there was room), he got far enough to where it shows the server lobby and the "Receiving Mission File" (or something like that) progress bar.

At that point the bar was at 0% and an error message popped up. It was that infamous message that say something like "Bin/Config.Bin/CFGweapons". After pressing "OK" it then cancels out and send him to the Arma 2 OA menu screen.

It does this with every server, no matter the population or region, etc. I know this message usually appears for people (myself included), but it usually does nothing, for me at least. I just click it and go on my way.

Just to add, he has a very shitty computer and can pretty much only run Arma 2 on the lowest graphical settings in order to achieve no lag. I wasn't sure if it was an installation problem, or if his system is just too shitty to handle DayZ.
