How do i verify my arma 2 for steam if i did not buy it on steam?

When I try to verify my ARMA 2 and ARMA 2 OA on Dayz commander it does not work as I did not buy ARMA 2 combined operations on steam, I bought it on disk. Since GameSpy shutdown I have not been able to play Dayz mod. How do I fix?

 

Thx Vermadrag

I had to do the same couple of weeks ago.  In steam at the top click on "Games" and the you will see "Activate a product on steam" then you enter the cd-keys.  Run ARMA2 once before you install Arrowhead and run Arrowhead once before you load the DayZ mods.

Thankyou so much AtomQuark but do you know if there is anyway that I can transfer all the dayz files over to the steam version of arma 2 or do I have to just reinstall all the dayz mods I want to play?(will that automatically select the steam version to put the mods in?)

 

Thanks again Vermadrag

I copied the mod folders and used dayz launcher to check for them.

so does that mean I should not use dayz commander...

I have downloaded arma 2, arma 2 OA, arma 2 OA beta and opened them all up before launching "dayz launcher" and verified both games (arma 2, arma2 OA) when I try to join a dayz server it says "Error Can not find arma2oa.exe. Do you have ARMA2OA installed?" what do I do?

 

Thanks Vermadrag
