irzekk 0 Posted July 15, 2012 Yesterday I bought Arma Combined Operations just to play DayZ. I used Six Launcher to install DayZ. When I select a sever, it gives me the "dayz_anim requires addon CA_Dubbing Counterattack" then opens arma and after loading for a bit, it tells me "bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/Citizen1.scope". This happens everytime I try to play on a DayZ server. I did followed the steps for using six launcher, I've re-installed and opened Arma 2, Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead and Arma 2 Combined Operations and gone to the menu before installing Dayz, and setting the launch sequence to -mod=@DayZ. I bought Arma from Steam. Please help, I am craving DayZ :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarkRaven123 602 Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) Have you installed the latest Beta patch for Arma 2?http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php/Because you use steam you have to manually install the patch.Navigate to your steamapps/common/Arma 2 OA/expansion/Beta folder.Copy the arma2oa.exe and paste it back into the main folder.Its a good idea to make a copy of the current .exe, just in case. Rename it to arma20a123 or something. Edited July 15, 2012 by DarkRaven123 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DarkRaven123 602 Posted July 15, 2012 It comes as a .exe, so all you have to do is run it, then do the steps I gave you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DarkRaven123 602 Posted July 15, 2012 Yes, but when choosing a server, make sure it says (1.7.2.3/94945) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DarkRaven123 602 Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) Are you running Combined Operations? Its the bottom option when you go to open the game through steam.Do you have Arma 2 free?Also, if you have to, try and reinstall DX9.

stockishgsr 2 Posted July 17, 2012 I saw on that link that there is a download for a 94997 patch, do we just ignore that and use 94945 patch? I also ran into the issue the OP has posted and was wondering if that could be the problem I am having.I have tried the 94876 patch as well and still have the same issue.

X-Adzie-X 0 Posted July 18, 2012 I am having this very same issue! It even happens when loading OA via steam on single player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stockishgsr 2 Posted July 20, 2012 Have tried doing a fresh install of the mod and still run into this issue. I have the patch 95099 and used Six Launcher to install the mod and run the game as well. I have Steam which I feel could be causing the issues. If you know a workaround that would be awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
