Hey all I bought and downloaded both ArmA 2 games simply to play this game and I can't get on! Gutted! Basically I tried using the updater thingy and it gets to:

Checking current ARMA II path setting...

Found ArmA2OA.exe, game folder correct.

Saving settings ...

I tried the uploader once, didn't work for me, so I kept installing it the old fashioned way. Follow the instructions in the video in the download page, that's what I did, i'ts not too complicated.

Download 7-zip http://www.7-zip.org/ install

Download notepad++ http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ and install

Download all the .rar files or get the torrent

Once you have dayz, dayz_anim , dayz_code, dayz_v1.2.6 , dayz_equip , dayz_sfx , dayz_vehicles and dayz_weapons .rar files extract them all so you have the .pbo and .bsign from each

Go to your arma 2 OA directory ( if steam default location is c:/programfilesx86/steam/steamapps/common/arma2OA

Make a folder called @DAYZ and open it

Make a folder there called addons and open it

Paste the .pbo and .bsign files there

Use the -mod=@dayz switch AT THE END ( for steam right click arma 2 oa hit properties then set launch options)

To use the arma beta with steam version install beta go to arma 2 OA folder then expansions then beta copy the arma2oa.exe hit back 2 times so your back in arma 2 OA folder paste the arma2oa.exe and hit copy and replace

In arma 2 OA folder rename your _runa2co.cmd (windows command file) to _runa2co_bak.cmd

Right click _runa2co_beta.cmd and edit with notepad++ near the bottom on line 46 and 47 you will see something like this

:run

call "%_ARMA2OAPATH%\Expansion\beta\ARMA2OA.exe" "-mod=%_ARMA2PATH%;EXPANSION;ca" "-mod=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion" -nosplash -cpuCount=2 -exThreads=7 -mod=@dayz %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

Make sure you have the -mod=@dayz in there in the same place as I have it shown

Save the file then rename it as _runa2co.cmd

Launch steam as admin right click arma 2 OA and launch arma 2 combined operations

Don't close the CLI window

Profit

Also, all your beans are belong to us, give em up quiet and no one has to die!
