Cannot Play

[npmejia82 0]

I am new and am having great troubles playing this game. I bought the arma games like required. I downloaded the dayz commander, I tried a game launcher. I am trying to play through steam and cannot seem to join any game. Every time it says "waiting for host" then kicks me out and says I have modified files, or says files are missing or something? Can someone please help me, I don't want to say I wasted 25$ trying to play this game. I really want to get on

I'm guessing your trying to play the mod and not the standalone? You have to update to the latest version for the mod. Right click dayz mod -> properties -> beta -> click newest one. Try again and it should work. Now if your trying to play the standalone then your out of luck. You bought the wrong one. Also if you are trying to play on the mod you posted in the wrong section. You need to post in Dayz Mod -> Troubleshoot section. Just a heads up.

Ok, I am sorry for posting in the wrong section and thank you for still replying and trying to help. What do I need to play Standalone? I bought Arma II combined operations so I have both of those games. Can you help me from here please? Anything for me to be able to play this game would help me greatly.

Oh if you want to play the standalone then you bought the wrong one! Go on steam and look for Dayz standalone. It should be in the top charts. It's another $30 bucks. But once you buy it and download it. You will be able to play. Pretty easy to setup. Look on the bright side you can play both the mod and standalone. Btw since your posting about the standalone your in the right section. :)

 

Here is the steam link to the Dayz Standalone so you can see it. Good luck!
