need help with simple error

[zanep0 0]

i keep getting this error, making ARMA 2 unplayable, i get the bohemia interactive logo on startup, then arma 2 logo, then the bohemia interactive logo with fine print below it, then it crashes and gives me this error, i am on steam, it that makes a difference. I'd like to fix this without a full reinstall as it took forever to get it working the first time before this started happening. any tips?

Edit: by typing -nosplash and-world=empty with the -mod=@dayz i got past the splashscreens, however under expansions, arma2 is listed twice. im guessing this is whats causing the error? how would i get rid of the extra arma 2 in the expansions menu on the main menu?

Try right clicking the shortcut, go to Properties -> Local Files -> Verify Integrity of Game Cache.

See if that works.

Cyclical errors are usually corrupted/incomplete files.
