krtshv 362 Posted July 16, 2012 When installing through steam:1 - Install ArmA 2 and ArmA 2 OA.2 - Run ArmA 2 first, let it get to the menu, then quit.3 - Install the Beta & DayZ via Six Launcher.4 - Overwrite the original ArmA 2 OA .exe with the beta .exe in the Expansions/Beta folder.5 - Right Click ArmA 2 OA on Steam, Properties, Set Launch Options, Paste this: -beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -nosplash -mod=@dayz (You can also add "-world=Chernarus" for quicker map loading of DayZ servers).6 - Run ArmA 2 OA as Combined Operations (choose CO when running or just right click and "Run Combined Operations").7 - Play DayZ and die within your first 10 minutes. Enjoy :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KennyNZ 121 Posted July 16, 2012 First of all. Don't use sixupdater :) I know lots of people have success with it, but I prefer to do it manually, that way I know exactly what has happened where, and if something goes wrong, it's much easier to fix.... plus it's not that hard.There are lots of installation guides on the forums here. This sticky in the new player forum might helphttp://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/10051-index-of-helpful-threads/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tezcatli 0 Posted July 16, 2012 Well I only got it to work today. But I found that using the 94876 beta patch to fix my problems. I followed this guide http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/29401-guide-steam-to-those-spawning-invisible-no-debug-errors-beta-update/Particularily the part about making the backup and then copying the .exe from the beta folder is important. But I would also note that some servers simply won't work for me. I always try the ones that state they use the 94876 beta. And even then I have to try more then one to find one that works.Sometimes I get no textures. >.>Anyways. That's all I can do to help. Since it worked for me and I'm a complete newbie to this game. ;3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
