Acqui 0 Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) Hi everyone, I've been trying to play DayZ for 2 days now and I've grown increasingly frustrated. I've followed all of the steps in downloading Arma 2 and Operation Arrowhead, and I've downloaded DayZ too.My main problem is that when I try to join servers, I always disconnect or get a message like this. "You cannot play/edit this mission; it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted". Please give me any help you can. I am quite desperate now and it would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Edited July 17, 2012 by Acqui Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RTribesman 28 Posted July 17, 2012 This is a quick rundown of how i install new updates with 0 problems. Steam only.-Both games fully installed and ran before any mods or betas are applied.-Dayz Updater ran and fully updated. Sometimes this updater has issues, in which case i use the torrent file instead. This can be found on the dayz website under "download alpha". Note. The files inside the torrent get extracted into: Default: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\@DayZ\Addon or if you havent used the default folder then find your install of steam and go to \Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\@DayZ\Addon make sure you replace the existing files if necessary.-Download latest beta patch (currently ARMA2_OA_Build_95054.zip) from http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php-Run the .exe and install.-Heres the important bit most people miss or do not do correctly: Go back to your steam directory, default: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common, open the folder "arma 2 operation arrowhead" then rename "arma2OA.exe" to something like "xxxarma2OA.exe"(this is to create a backup should you ever need to remove the patch). From that same directory you need to move on to a folder named\Expansion\ then \beta\. Within here you will find another file named "arma2OA.exe". You need to right-click and copy this, then paste into \steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead(make sure you overwrite the existing .exe if necessary).-Next just paste the following into "launch options" of Arma II: Operation Arrowhead" in your steam library: -beta=Expansion\beta;ca;Expansion\beta\Expansion -mod=@DayZ;ca-Be sure to launch the game as "combined operations". The game should be fully working and playable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Acqui 0 Posted July 19, 2012 Thanks for the replies. I can now play DayZ but I seem to be having yet another problem. All of the possible servers for me to join have the red "X" to left of them, signaling that I can't join them. Any ideas on how to fix this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GrunchRingo 0 Posted July 29, 2012 The game is at the latest version so the beta won't install. Where do I go from here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
