New to Arma II: Can't launch Day Z

[Megasmith 0]

On steam:

Sometimes the problem is that I need patch 1.60.9 when I only have patch 1.60 (my game is up to date)

Sometimes I get stuck at the loading screen -exactly like this one

Did I install something wrong? Is there a resent installation guide for this?

I had several issues with Battleye while trying to install the mod and get it running.

I would join the server and then get stuck in a never-ending load screen. OR I would just get kicked from the server.

I fixed my issue by:

1. Go to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead (this is with Windows 7)

2. check the expansions folder and see if there is a folder called 'BattlEye'

3. If it isn't there, go back to the main OA folder and open the 'BEsetup' folder

4. Run the 'Setup_BattlEyeARMA2OA' program

This will manually install BE for OA, which steam had a hard time doing on its own.

Then, before you join a server, turn off any anti virus temporarily.

I know when my BattlEye tried to update, it failed because my Avast stopped the download.

Good luck! Any problems and I'll be glad to try and help.

I have that file in there, also before I go to the endless loading screen there is an error saying -No entry 'bin/config.bin/CfgWeapons.'.-

DayZ still not working

Also there is this when I try to join a server, on the left they have this red x and some have a question make. I get this thing when I try to join

'Bad Version, Server Rejected'

Your my hero. Avast blocked the installation when I first ran arma 2 and I never noticed it. All of those hours wasted trying to uninstall and reinstall the game when the fix was so simple.

@megasmith

How did you install the mod? Sixlauncher?

@lovetocamp

Glad I could help, enjoy the game!

I just did the US Mirror and put them in the folder. Did the beta patch and the dayz updater - still not working.
