*You were kicked off the game* error fix.

[Twist of Cain 7]

Last night I was having issues joining any/every server. Anytime I tried to connect, I would make into the lobby,but immediately kicked back out with a message saying, "You were kicked off the game". I did some research on the forums and noticed people were having similar problems. I did a little more searching and found a post from Poisonman a couple weeks ago with a solution that worked for me. Kudos to him for his solution. If you're having this problem, try it out.

Ok I found a fix for this.

What I did:

Go into your steam library, right click Arma 2 go to properties, Local Files, Verify Integrity, wait till it completes.

Do the same thing for Operation Arrowhead

Launch both games again like you did when you first installed to the main menu screen then you can exit

then right click OA again and launch combined operations to relink the games

then after your done with all that (doesn't take long)

you should be able to launch dayz again and join servers.

Worked for me

or just use DayZ commander and update to the right patch for both DayZ and Arma and it will work^

I kiss you! Googling "you were kicked off the game" got me here, and the lengthy file cache check did the trick! I wonder if some hacker fondled my files. Anyway, it worked for me and I'm happy to get my fix again! :D :D :D

If you launch OA it runs as CO and starts the normal Arma 2 files up aswell

Strange, Normal DayZ works for me, but any custom maps get the kicked from game message.

This solution assumes you have both Arma 2 and OA on Steam....
