Error creating 3D graphical engine

[Hiddenderek 2]

Every time I try to join a server on the six updater, I get this message: Error creating 3D graphical engine. I installed both games through steam and put the DayZ folder in ArmaII, the Addons folder in OA after setting the parameters to the folders in their respective steam locations. I also am not running a beta patch. I don't know whats wrong. Sometimes I also get a message saying there is no serial number in Startup. I don't get it. Im starting to think i wasted 30 dollars on this....

Also, another error message i sometimes get is: Addon Day Z code requires Addon building parts.

put the DayZ folder in ArmaII' date=' the Addons folder in OA [/quote']

That, right there, is incorrect. The path to the DayZ files should be:

S:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\@DayZ\addons

Or wherever your game installs. The ARMAII folder is different.

Check the INSTALLATION section of that post. The most common problem is that you have to install a beta patch now, for ARMAII. Then you have to make sure you are running the patched version.

On my system, when everything is running right, under the top right icon for ARMAII I have expansions listed for:

- arma 2

- dayz

- beta

- Expansion

Obviously I can't verify it, but if you are missing any of those, my guess is the game won't work right.
