Arma 2 on steam, OA on Disk.

[Toobatee 0]

Hi!

Incase you're wondering, Yes! i've looked around the forums, been all over the internet, followed all kinds of tutorials, but I cant seem to find anything that will help me on this specific topic.

I bought arma 2 a while ago on steam, and when day z came out, i ordered the operation arrowhead disk from online. It arrived, i installed everything as close to the tutorials as i could. Updated everything, got the beta, got the right files, put them in the right spot.. but I couldnt follow them very well though because there isnt a specific guide for installing dayz for the the arma 2 steam and OA disk. Yes, In the installation guide on the forum, there IS a guide that tells you how to install it for steam/retail, but it just tells you to follow the steam/retail guide.... Isnt that what i was doing?

MIXED COPY (RETAIL + STEAM)

1) Make sure you install the latest patch for the retail version from http://www.arma2.com...ly/game-updates Then follow the STEAM/RETAIL INSTALLATION guide.

Does it mean steam AND retail?

Well, I did just about everything i could. I downloaded the DayZ updater and tried launching it through there.

I tried launching dayZ and playing online. I got the usual "Missing Textures" message, which I ignored. When I tried joining a server, I either failed to connect, got kicked right away, got the "You cant edit this mission blah blah" error, or it said i was missing key files.

Guh.

Ive updated battle eye anti cheat or whatever manually through their website.

I dont know what else to try!

Thanks!

Try and add OA to steam and then launch "Combined Operations". DayZ won't work with "ArmA 2" and it won't work with "OA". It will only work with "Combined Operations" which is either ArmA2+OA or ArmA2 Free+OA.

I don't know if that's gonna help but you can try.

Are you launching ArmA 2 Beta from the .cmd batch file? DayZ only works with the ArmA beta version installed
