Want TO Play This Mod But Totally Confused

[kflo01 5]

OK I have read awesome things about this mod and bring a huge fan of everything zombies esp The Walking Dead I decdied to give this mod a shot.

Lucky for me I have owned Arma 2 for over 2 years now (purchased from Direct2Drive before they were bought out by Gamefly) but I didnt have Operation Arrowhead. So I purchased Arrowhead today from STEAM for 19.99 and installed it. It was verison 1.62 so I have the latest greatest verison no need to patch.

I also downloaded and installed Six Updater 2.97pre.

Ok I kind of get it the list of servers and such but everytime I try to join a server one of 2 things happens. Either there ALWAYS is a password required which I dont know or the same seems like it is going to launch, says Excuting and the Operation Arrowhead icon appears in the quick launch bar then a small pop up appears in the upper left hand of the screen that. Decicated host created, Battleye Server Intilaiized, Host Identity Created. This happens no matter if I select Install and Update Mods and Join Server or Just Join Server.

I also have tried to just launch Operation Arrowhead and go to Multi-player without using Six Updater. Everytime I try to join a DAYZ mod that way I get a waiting for host then a error box pops up within the game stating certan files arent compatbile of something. Ca anyone help get me started PLEASE?!?

I also downloaded all the files manually and have them on my desktop if needed. I am running windows 7 fully patched.

Lastly. When I launch the game and look under Exspanions. I have a @DayZ and a Dayz the Dayz has a black box next to it. Not sure if that helps.

Which files does it say are not compatible?

First off, do a 'Verify integrity of game cache files' and try again, if this does not work remove the incompatible files completely and try again.

I'm not sure that DayZ works with 1.62 actually, though I think your problem is that you don't have the beta patch. Does it say "Beta" or something like that on the side bar where it lists expansions? I'd use DayZ commander if I were you, at least for patching the game as it's designed for DayZ and is more up to date update wise than SixLauncher.

What this guy said, you need the beta patch me thinks.

Also, when you get in game, take out your flash light and walk slowly down the coast making yourself very visible...

I'll take care of you :)

Welcome to DayZ

LOL @ Broomstick thanks for that "helpful" tip. I'm no dummy I watched some youtube videos on game play, wont get over on my like that. But just for that i will make sure I look for you if we ever cross paths.

OK I fixed the errors issue and my game says Dayz beta on the right side of the screen. When directly launching Operation Arrowhead I can join mutliplayer servers but it gets stuck at the loading screen and does nothing.

Use Six Launcher to join the servers, and there will be like 5 loading screens, this is normal.

The stopping at a screen that just says 'Loading" is random, just try another server.
