How to Install patch 1.7.2.6?

[manta-avoid 36]

Yep it is in the steam folder and ready to go. Sadly guess I got to wait for sixupdater. When does sixupdater get it usually? A Day late or something?

Yep, one to two days late - maybe more. Depends on how much I hate the program.

pro tip:

Rename arma2oa.exe to !arma2oa.exe

Go to Expansion\beta

Copy arma2oa.exe to the original arma2oa.exe's location (arma 2 operation arrowhead\)

Create a shortcut on your desktop:

C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\Steamapps\common\ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead\arma2oa.exe -mod="C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\Steamapps\common\ArmA 2;EXPANSION;ca;@dayz"

Should work

When 1.7.2.5 came out it was more like 5 days late.

Sixupdater and DayZcommander are the bane of my existence. They absolutely infuriate me in that they remove the need for a user to understand their own file system.

I used to manual install. Then I found out a single program can handle it for me- and swap versions all from a settings page. I don't see what's wrong with this?

@Manta-Avoid: You have issues.

@Machxin: I would use this: http://kodabar.blogs...rma-2-free.html pretty straight forward. However I sense a great deal of sarcasm- but I'll post this link for anyone else too. :)

I have standards, and standards make men of us little girls here on the internets.

Manual install of DayZ, for Steam users with both ArmA 2 installed, and ArmA 2: Operation Arrowhead:

This is a modified set of steps taken from dayzwiki.com, however it encompasses loading DayZ via a shortcut and retaining the Steam Overlay functionality.

You have standards of how other people should do things? Interesting.

lol - you use the file system abstraction? I hate when people aren't just manually manipulating their bits!
