Simpfe 0 Posted November 8, 2014 Ive tried every possible way to download and install dayz. I bought Arma2 and Arma 2 arrowhead on steam, downloaded them and ran both of them. I downloaded the Dayz mod on steam as well. I tried dayz commander and it doesnt let me download any mods, gives me a red triangle. Un-installed that and tried the "play with six crap". Cant seem to get that downloaded and running properly. Finally went with the dayz launcher. This one actually let me download a few mods like epoch and overwatch as well as dayz. But it literally took me about 8 hours to download those two mods. It was insane. Now I try to launch into a game and it sits at the "wait for host" screen forever. I left it at that screen all night while I was sleeping and I woke up and it was still at that screen. I just want to play dayz and nothing is working. I even try to play the basic dayz on steam and when I go to multiplayer, not a single server comes up or anything. I dont know whats going on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conrad_The_Comrade 577 Posted November 8, 2014 I haven't played the DayZ mod in ages, but back when I played it I used Playw/6 (If I remember the name correctly). I've had better luck with them than DayZ commander, and once you get the hand of it it's fairly simple. I don't even know if Playw/6 is still up, but if you can find it, try and download the DayZ mod from them. Good luck :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good luck :)I had dayz downloaded a little over a year ago and played it through the six updater and six launcher. Had no problems what so ever downloading and playing the game but I deleted and uninstalled everything because I didnt have time to play it anymore. Now almost two years later everything has changed and nothing seems to be letting me play this mod again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simpfe 0 Posted November 8, 2014 Remove battleye files and retry dayzmod via steam for beginning.I did that and when I go onto multiplayer no servers or anything comes up. And if I try to switch between online network and LAN or refresh the page it freezes and I have to close the game through task manager. Everytime I open up the dayz mod in steam or Arma 2 a message pops up in the bottom right corner saying access code key thing needed and it shows my code and says enter this when the game asks for it. Do I need to do something with that code key thing or? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First of all, you absolutly must succeed to play ArmA 2 and Arma2 OA, in this order, in order to play DayZ mod.I think that you did not register your game to Steam. Try to copy the license key then go to Steam, click on the "+ Add a game" at the bottom left of the Steam window, and paste the license key in "Activate a product on Steam". Do it for all ArmA games you have.Play each game once in order to register the keys.Then run dayzmod via Steam. Edited November 8, 2014 by facoptere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
