yeah i just tried leaving it and letting it load...went and got a drive through got back home ten minutes later and still stuck on loading screen. clearly isn't doing anything because the loading bar is full. it loads the first parts its the black screen with just a loading bar and "loading" underneath is where i keep getting stuck.

just got the game working. give this a try :) i really hope it works for you.

if you don't have this already get it!!! latest ArmAII Beta patch: http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php

now when you have downloaded and installed it you need to go into your games directory.

(none steam): C:\Program Files (x86)\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead

(steam): C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead

now when you are in this folder (and when you have installed the latest beta patch from the link above) find the file "_runA2CO_beta.cmd" right click it and select "edit"

scroll down to where it says ":run" and under that "call "%_ARMA2..." and so on. follow that line of text untill you see ""-mod=%_ARMA2PATH%;EXPANSION;ca" change this part so it reads this:

"-mod=%_ARMA2PATH%;EXPANSION;ca;@dayz"

(basicly just add @dayz to the end)

after that (make sure you save the file you just edited) try joining a DayZ server...fingers crossed everything will work.

hope this fixes the problem as it was pissing me off also :P

i cannot find the file called _runasco_beta.cmd this is all see in my folders http://imgur.com/cjmZ8

Go into your expansion folder, there should be a beta folder in there, provided you installed the beta update.

okay well see that "Launch Arma2 OA Beta Patch" right click that and go properties then in the target line just add

"-mod=@dayz"

without the " "

[(UEG)St41ker 0]

are you using six launcher? and have you ran the updater for the six program?

Guys try using the hotfix. you can find it on the announcements board.

[herd 69]

what hotfix ?

[xPlowsi 0]

when im joining a server... this pops up.. no\config.bin/CFgWeapons. and then when i press the ''ok'' button it takes me to loading screen, and there it freezes!! help

[(UEG)St41ker 0]

only thing i can think of doing apart from whats already been said above is remove all DayZ content from your pc...then re-download and install Six Launcher.

or an even more long and full of effort would be to just remove all DayZ content and Arma content. and try fresh from the beginning.

this is how i did it and all works now:

installed both games (i got the Combined Operations from steam)

then i installed the Six Launcher and ran the updater first.

(after i did this i tried getting into a game of DayZ and got the loading screen of death. even left it "loading" for 10 minutes and nothing)

so then i installed the latest Arma beta patch and did what ive explained already above in a previous post on this thread

ran the Six Launcher and all works fine.

hope you guys get it working :)

oh and just to add, it helps (vista/win7 users) run things as administrator (right click run as admin or a more permanent solution right click icon, go into properties, click the comparability tab and at the bottom click the box run as admin) make sure you do this to Steam also (if used)

normally, simply reinstalling should not have any effect.
