having several issues getting it to work

[azombieatemybaby 0]

I am running into 3 different problems with getting DayZ to work. First one is I get a wrong cd key error. Second one is the bad serial number error. Third one is when I try to load Arma2:OA I get an empty bin error (never heard of this one till this). I have looked through the posts and am wondering if anyone else had this many problems and how they fixed it?

Thanks

My advice, take it or leave it :)

1.) Uninstall operation arrowhead.

2.) make sure the operation arrowhead folder is gone, DayZ install and all

3.) Reinstall operation arrowhead.

4.) Launch it once, exit

5.) Use Dayz Commander to install everything

If you're playing through steam, please make sure STEAM is being run AS ADMINISTRATOR.

Run Arma2

Quit Arma2 at title menu

Run Arma2:Combined Operations (or OA) >a DOS window should pop-up and you'll see some file spam<

Quit Arma2:CO/OA at the title menu

Run DayZ Commander and have it install the beta and mod files.

Play the game
