Latin Geek's quick and handy and raw text based guide to installing DayZ like a pro without Six or any other bullshit

-- Download Arma 2 and Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead on Steam (you brought trouble upon yourself by buying it retail, suck it up)

-- Run Arma 2 as administrator

-- Run Arma 2 OA as administrator

-- Download the latest DayZ files from any of the mirrors. You need all of the ZIP files.

-- Download the latest Beta Patch (it's the larger link on the top bar you shit'ead)

-- Install the beta by extracting the .EXE installer and running it

-- Go to /Steam/Steamapps/Common/Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead

-- Make an "@DayZ" folder, and make an "addons" folder inside that one.

-- Extract all the files from the DayZ .ZIP files into that "addons" folder. Make sure the raw files are in the addons folder, and they're not inside their own folders.

-- Go back to /Steam/Steamapps/Common/Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead

-- Rename the ArmA2OA.EXE to something else, like ArmA2OA_old.EXE

-- Grab the ArmA2OA.EXE from the /expansion/beta/ folder, and drop it where the other Arma2OA.EXE file was.

-- Exit windows explorer, go to your steam library

-- Right-click Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead, go to properties, edit launch options.

-- Add "-beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -mod=@DayZ" to your launch options, without the quotes and before any other commands.
