reecenolan 0 Posted July 30, 2012 Try going into steam and right clicking on arma 2 operation arrowhead, then go to local files and then select verify integrity of game cache and see if that helps at all :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matalgirrafe 65 Posted July 30, 2012 Greatly appreciate if you could say if it worked,but if it didn't try downloading Six Launcher or Day Z commander, those programs may run Day Z without any problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

reecenolan 0 Posted July 30, 2012 can only assume the install was completely fucked, this is probably the best thing for it. I at least hope your internet is fast for the redownload Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
