DayZ and Epoch Mod tutorial?

[Otis.Driftwood 204]

Ok guys i've just bought Arma 2 Combined Operations and i want to play DayZ Epoch Mod and i'm having troubles finding updated and organized tutorial How to. 

 

If you guys can help me i would be so grateful.  I've downloaded DayZ Commander also. 

 

 

Do i need Operation Arrowhead Beta? (i haven't downloaded it yet)

 

Do i need DayZ Mod from Steam Store to play Epoch?

Google the epoch forums they should be able to help you more.

I will. Thank you. 

 

But, if i want just DayZ mod, then what?

Run both Arma2 and operation arrowhead to the main menu before you do anything else. <-- must be done or dayz mod wont launch when installed..

 

Download whatever mods you want to play through commander or Dayz Launcher (I prefer launcher as it's more up to date). If you use commander you can use that to find a server and launch the game and it will automatically enable the mod for you. With Launcher, you have to go to another tab to enable the mod you wnt to play.

 

I hope I didn't miss a step trying to help. No one here wants to speak of Epoch because it's a mod of the mod and stole a LOT of players. Funny as it is since they got some things from the Epoch dev's to use in the dayz mod. Go figure.

It's got nothing to do with that at all. We use steam and only support steam other mods use different routes as steam isn't available to them. This is the dayz forums not epoch forums if ppl need support on epoch its better they ask on the epoch forums not here. You don't expect ppl with Samsung phones to be going to the iTunes site for help with goggle or microsoft fans going to linux forums for help. They will know best how to install there own mod, we know how to install this mod.

 

As for all this nonsense about taking players from my point of view they use the dayz base to build epoch last i looked so for me that's always a plus. The players will play where they wish to play again from the devs point of view both sides use code from both mods so all players benefit.

 

Does anything else matter to developers.
