I [finally got] DayZ to run.

Recommended Posts

[Resolved, Read Below]

 

Up until now I ran DayZ through Dayz Commander, but apparently it's dead now.

 

I tried installing the mod. Every time i would launch it it would flash the bohemia logo, then Arma II, then bohemia again, and then crash and say "Cannot load world 'ca\chernarus\chernarus.wrp"

 

I have Arma 2, Operation Arrowhead, and Private Military Company. I uninstalled all of them and deleted the leftover files from the directory and then reinstalled them.

Twice actually. And I did the thing where I launched arma 2 and OA and PMC before i launched the mod. And still nothing.

 

I was finally able to fix this by going into the properties tab, then the betas tab and switching OA to version 1.62 and DayZ to 1.8.5.

but when I click the multiplayer tab, no servers show up. I made sure it was searching internet games. I reset the filters. I even tried searching for the mission DayZ. Still nothing.

 

I tried forwarding ports 2302-2307, nothing.

 

I tried to install Withsix. It wanted me to download and install Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2, which I did. Now when I try to run the Withsix install, it flashes the logo

for a split second, then goes away and nothing happens. I googled the problem and i can't find a fix for it.

 

I tried using DayZ Launcher. When I join a server, it takes me to the main menu and a little window pops up saying "Connecting Failed"

I googled the problem and found nothing useful.

 

I honestly don't know what else to do. This game seriously doesn't want me to play it.

 

I also want to note that even after installing the mod, when I launch OA and go to the expansions tab, the @dayz never shows up, yet when i go into the directory, all the files are there.

 

====================================================================================

 

I'm going to lay out what I did to get mine fixed for people who have this problem in the future.

 

  • I installed and ran Arma II, Operation Arrowhead, Private Military Company, and the Operation Arrowhead Beta (Which at this moment it says it obsolete)

 

  • Installed Dayz Mod

 

  • I right clicked on OA, went to properties, then the beta tab and set it to Beta -

 

  • I did the same for the OA beta and set it to beta112555

 

  • I did the same for the Dayz mod and set it to the current version, which at the moment is 1.8.5

 

  • I then followed kichilron's instructions:

 

 

 

All you need to do is the following:

 

 

  1. Go to your ARMA 2 Folder
  2. Copy the contents of the "AddOns" Folder
  3. Go to your "ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead" Folder
  4. Paste the aforementioned files into the "Common" Folder
  5. If prompted, replace existing files
  6. Download "ARMA 2: DayZ Mod" from Steam
  7. Launch "ARMA 2: DayZ Mod"
  8. Join Server using ingame Multiplayer Browser
  9. Done.

 

 

After following these steps I was able to run the Dayz mod through steam and join a game. I then was able to install DayZ Launcher, which seems to be the best program at the moment, and join a server.

 

I hope this post is helpful in the future.

Okay. I'm literally facepalming and jumping for joy at the same time.

 

I changed OA to the Beta version instead of 1.62 and now it is working. Thank you both for your help! I never would have figured it out on my own.
