Couple of easy questions (I hope), please help!

[Sdzfsn 0]

Just got the mod installed, not been able to test it yet as all the servers seem to be down but Ive got some questions, I could do with some help. I'm using A2:combined operations.

1- I installed the mod manually, when using the beta shortcut to play dayz it launches in windowed mode and resets my graphical settings to 'normal'.

Never did this when I launched the vanilla game through steam, any suggestions?

2- As I installed manually, if I want to update is it only a case of re downloading and installing the beta files and the dayz files, nothing else?

3- how do I switch between playing dayz and arma2/OA vanilla? I read that you need to disable the mod if you want to play the vanilla game, how is this done?

4- VERY noob question not entirely related to dayz... but how do I switch between playing A2 vanilla SP/MP and A2:OA SP/MP?

if its just a case of launching either one from steam then what is the combined operations option for?

Any help would be great cheers

I will try to answer them all, although I do not know exact answers to each query.

Q1. If this only occurs when you launch the mod, I would expect it's a parameter you send to the 'game' when launching it. Check your shortcut's parameters for (for example) '-windowed'.

Q2. If you prefer to do your installation manually, you will just have to re-download the mod and the beta patch every time an update is released. Though I would strongly suggest to use Six Launcher. Six Launcher will patch your game automatically whenever an update is released. Saved you a lot of trouble.

Q3. The way the mod is launched is through added 'parameters' in your shortcut. If you want to play vanilla Arma2 / AO, simply launch the game through the actual *.exe

Q4. I am not very familiar with the vanilla game (I only bought Arma2 CO because DayZ is so super awesome) but as far as I know, you can simply launch your game through steam the 'normal' way and you'll be able to play the vanilla game.

Hope this helps you out at least a bit.

Arma 2 CO is just all the expansions n shit
