Completely false information. Your friend is most likely broken the target and start in lines within the OA properties in steam and an error is preventing him from launching. He just has to fix the target and start in lines and it'll work again.

EDIT: Also, he might mean that DayZ won't work if you run the normal ArmA2 steam version. THat's true.

You have to make a shortcut of the ArmA 2 beta client, found in the steam Operation Arrowhead folder, then add the beta client shortcut to steam, then add the "target" and "start in" lines to make it work.

Google installing dayz for steam and you'll find instructions.

yeah you can, its just really hard to get the mod to work as original steam version of the game (1.60 I think) is obsolete for DayZ needs,the beta you can launch outside of steam for DayZ to be up to date etc.

Yes. I play DayZ through steam(or at least add the shortcut through it) but use sixlauncher to update everything for me.

I've been wondering the same thing as the guy who started the topic, and you helped me a ton! I know it won't count my stats and stuff as a non-steam game, but I can access the overlay and take screenshots now. Thanks :)

It's not that hard to just manually update your files though :/
