Abandonedcartoon 45 Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) I've been having difficulty actually entering a game for DayZ, I'm not sure why either. Everything has been updated everything including Six Launcher is working, but after entering a server, after a few moments the window closes and i recieve an error message stating. " Bad serial number given in setup"I've tryed all kinds of servers and have had no luck, restarted computer etc. Any help is much appreciated, thanks.

mullinsjesse@ymail.com 19 Posted July 14, 2012 That happens when you torrent the game. cu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abandonedcartoon 45 Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) I have not torrented the game I purchased it off of steam for 23.99 2 days ago. I even checked for that reason so I'm very confused now. I feel it could be an issue on Steam's part, however I feel that is highly unlikely. Edited July 14, 2012 by Abandonedcartoon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trenix (DayZ) 5 Posted July 14, 2012 I have not torrented the game I purchased it off of steam for 23.99 2 days ago. I even checked for that reason so I'm very confused now.If you read the installation instructions here on the website you'd see that you need to run both games as administrator from steam the very first time, if you do not do this you cannot play the game. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Abandonedcartoon 45 Posted July 14, 2012 I have already searched these and have had no success, thus why I posted, the attitude expressed is not very sincere BTW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icomrade 201 Posted July 14, 2012 I have already searched these and have had no success, thus why I posted, the attitude expressed is not very sincere BTW.search the forums, that error is usually because of a botched update process. You can try to manually install the latest beta from here http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php It's the one in the green box. Or you can simply reinstall, then install the beta after you run ArmA 2 first then ArmA 2 OA second then ArmA 2 Combined Ops third. After you get the beta installed you can install DayZ. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
