cant run day z mod, need help

[umadcuzubad 3]

Hi, I downloaded Arma 2 operation arrowhead only(i had to choose 1 of the 2 cause they were huge files:arma 2 or arma 2 operation arrowhead) anyway, when i load it and everything i get this message You cannot play/edit this mission, it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted error message when i try to join a game. any help? thx

Because you need both ArmA 2 and OA to run it...?

EDIT: Okay, what I said at first sounded like I was being an asshole. You must have both ArmA 2 and ArmA 2 OA. You have to right click OA and run it as Combined Ops (do this once you've ran ArmA 2 and OA at least once) and, if you have the beta patch and DayZ files applied, you can play DayZ. I may have left out some things, but there's tutorials elsewhere.

You can use Arma 2 free, if you want. It is only 1 gig, but it is horrible textures. Enjoy

Please could you post even if it does work and let us know what you did to get it working? This can help others with similar problems. Cheers

ya need arma2 to use OP arrowhead, and ya need arrowhead to play DayZ, simple as that

ok so i got it working and i had to dl the arma 2 content. unfortunatly i couldnt run the arma 2 game by itself(gave some bug that the solution is to run as admin) but i tried playing day z and i got in to play. also, for those who read my other topic, i can run this game in low detail and play the game smoothly (so HAH!)
