Robert Neville 59 Posted May 24, 2015 (edited) I bought Arma II and Arma II Operation Arrowhead on Steam, then installed also DayZ Mod from Steam. When run, no matter which server I choose, it complains about missing files and signatures with the same error as here: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/224968-noob-needing-start-up-help/ Browsing through the forums I have read that one has to install DayZ Launcher, but other threads say to install DayZ Commander. There's even a DayZ Mod shortcut installed by Steam (this is the one I used to run the game). This is confusing. What is the most up-to-date, simpler, and recommended way to run DayZ Mod? Thanks in advance. Edited May 24, 2015 by Robert Neville Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Max Planck 7174 Posted May 24, 2015 Best way to run it is running it through Steam.DayZLauncher can also be used.DayZCommander can not be used. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert Neville 59 Posted May 24, 2015 So why does it complain about missing files (see my first post)? Do I need to buy additional Arma extensions? In the only server I managed to join I was a bird and I could only fly around. And it was not possible to quit the game -- I had to kill it from Task Manager, very annoying.

Fern Baron 128 Posted May 24, 2015 Be sure you're attempting to connect to servers running the same version of the dayz mod that you're using. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
