ItsMarioLetsGo 0 Posted December 30, 2015 im launching from steam and i was just wanting to play the regular dayz mod for arma 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kichilron 8550 Posted December 30, 2015 im launching from steam and i was just wanting to play the regular dayz mod for arma 2 Do you have both ARMA 2 and ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead installed on Steam?If you have, have you tried launching them both first before playing? If you do, please direct to the folder you have ARMA 2 installed in and copy the content of your "AddOns" folder to the "Common" folder located in your ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead folder. You will be prompted as to whether you want to override the existing files. You will want to do that. Then try again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ItsMarioLetsGo 0 Posted December 30, 2015 can you help me with one more thing the dayz launcher so i can get on servers where do i go to download it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kichilron 8550 Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) can you help me with one more thing the dayz launcher so i can get on servers where do i go to download it You don't need it. You can use both Steam's server browser as well as in the ingame one. There's no need for third party software and we don't officialy support it.

kichilron 8550 Posted December 30, 2015 for some reason i cannot get the server browser to work im using dayz commander and nothing is showing up Please don't create new topics if you already have one open regarding this issue. DayZCommander hasn't been updated for 1.5-2 years and should not be used. Only Steam is supported for DayZ Mod. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
