Fixing all your problems

[Tzeapa 1]

This is mostly for those with the retail copies (non-Steam).

I've been having a s*it load of issues with the game: errors on the main screen (dayz requiremes CA_Buil....or something with BIN config./) and couldn't join any servers because I was getting kicked all the time.

I've reinstalled the game like 7 times but apparently I was doing it all wrong.

Here's what you do.

Uninstall everything related to ARMA 2, OA and Battleye.

Install Arma 2 then install Arma 2 Patch 1.00 to 1.09, then install

ARMA 2 Patch 1.10 then install ARMA 2 Patch 1.11, start the game and exit (you really need to start the game !).

Install Operation Arrowhead, install ARMA2OA & RFT Patch 1.59, then install ARMA 2: Combined Operations / Operation Arrowhead / Reinforcements Patch 1.60, then start the game and exit.

Install DayZ mod

Install Arma 2 Game Launcher from here http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=8241 and follow this tutorial

Start the game using the launcher and you shouldn't get any errors (before or after the game starts) everything should work fine. You don't even need to copy the Battleye DLL.

I guess the issues with the Retail versions is the patching process, you need to install the patches as I told you or it might not work.

All patches should be downloaded from here: http://www.arma2.com/index.php?option=com_rokdownloads&view=folder&Itemid=20〈=en

Hope this helps the ones with problems, like I was !
