buzzard19 0 Posted August 15, 2012 Extremely sorry if there is already a topic but I couldn't find the information anywhere.I have operation arrowhead, I bought it as a retail copy, but I don't have arma 2 and I was going to buy it on steam.Someone said that to play this mod you have to have both of them on steam so that they both run at the same time, this pissed me off a bit as buying combined operations (though its cheap on steam) seems a tad pointless when I already have one of the games!I know that I can have OA as a non steam game but after i've set it as this, after turning my computer off a few times it no longer shows up in my steam library and I have to re-add it so surly its not actually being run by steam? Some of my friends play and I have played the game at theirs so my predicament is really annoying me.Apologies again if I have put this in the wrong place I just couldn't see anywhere else to put it but here!

SmashT 10907 Posted August 15, 2012 Your DayZ account is based on the OA cd key, but you will need to have ArmA 2, which I believe you can get for free. http://www.arma2.com/freehttp://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/How_to_install_DayZ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buzzard19 0 Posted August 17, 2012 Hi another question I'm being driven mad! (also if there's another topic for this sorry) I can't install 1.60 to my operation arrowhead! Every time I go to extract it comes up with something saying the files are damaged, I've downloaded the 1.60 patch from everywhere possible and it always seems to be broken. I've tried literally every download mirror off the official ARMA website to boot. Whats really ticking me off is I have 1.62 but I cant install that till I have installed 1.60. Any and all help I am thankful for in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
