Disgraced 1123 Posted July 25, 2012 Well, first of all, if you tried to launch it while updating... You're gonna have a bad time. All that I did was, after steam did its thing, I reinstalled the Arma beta file I had before the update. I then copied the arma2oa.exe from the beta directory into the main directory. Worked fine, that way. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chaos5061 48 Posted July 25, 2012 First do this for Arma2 and Arma 2 OA: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335Then after that is completed click play and then exit when you reach the menu for Arma 2 Arma 2 OA and Arma 2 CO.Now try playing DayZ and see if that fixes it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Disgraced 1123 Posted July 25, 2012 What would happen if I did try to launch it while it was updating?Not that I'm speaking from experience or anything. Cough. It said it could not open one of the pbo files. Surprisingly, if one just.... Waits for the download to finish, it works again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustThatEpic 72 Posted July 25, 2012 I've honestly tried everything to try to fix it. All that comes up is "You were kicked from the game" I'm getting sick of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chaos5061 48 Posted July 25, 2012 I've honestly tried everything to try to fix it.All that comes up is "You were kicked from the game"I'm getting sick of it.Well that was what I did to fix mine after update today. I added launching the Arma's after trying to install the newest beta brought up a wrong cd key error and that fixed it but I never experienced the constant kicking. I always play on servers that have use the latest DayZ patch and Beta patch. Have you tried updating the Beta to the newest which is 95310 and playing on a server that uses it?

I got a substantial increase in fps but there was still some annoying stuttering. But thank you for that. Does anyone know what the source of the problem is?
