How can I add Day Z to Steam?

[mogashi 0]

Hey!

I downloaded Arma 2 and the expansion on Steam, then I used the Six Updater / Launcher to get Day Z.

But when I start Day Z through the Six Launcher I don't get the Steam overlay, and I really like the overlay for chatting, taking screenshots directly into Steam and so on.

I guess it's just some launch parameters needed, if so, what are those?

Thanks!

from my experiences i think i dont think you can get it on the overlay. You probably can but i think you cant.

You can, I do. Go into your expansion folder and copy the beta armaoa.exe (steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta\), then paste it two directories above replacing the original armaoa.exe that steam is using to boot DayZ. Hope that helps.

Thanks, I will try this when I'm done with this session of Day Z!
