Steam user, Arma ll+arma arrow head. Same problem as everybody else.

[daedrick 90]

Alright, so lets post just like everybody else about the same problem because there is yet to be a complete tutorial about how to install this mod, which is by the way certainly the most annoying and compliced mod installation I ever had get through.

I guess it test our patience, a thing that we need a great deal of for the game itself.

But anyway, I have installed arma 2 and arma 2 arrowhead bot retail on STEAM.

I started them both to complete the installation, I noticed that combined ops didn't launch.

I have created a @dayz folder with an addons folder inside of it with the decompressed file from the mod also inside of it, using winrar.

I also added -mod=@dayz -nosplash to the propriety.

After trying to join a couples north america servers I get booted with the message that I can't edit the mission because blablabla, the usual message.

I tried to right clic arrowhead and clic on reinstall battleye anti cheat but nothing happen.

I tried moving the Add0ns folder from arma ll to arrowhead either in the straigh folder or in the expension folder, didn't fix the problem, combined ops wont launch, instead I get;

After reading through the forum MANY topics like mine it seems MANY people finally figured out a way to fix THEIR game but have yet to share a comprehensive and intelligible step by step version to make it work something MANY players could very much use.

So, can a good soul with good knownledge about the bugs and the fixes post a tutorial to help new people like me that just heard about the mod?

You can also post in this thread and then I will make a step by step thread so others people dont have to go through what many of us seemed to have to do.

Thanks in advance.

You can follow this guide preferably:

http://gibthis.com/guides/4570-steam-arma-2-co-symlink.html

or you can follow this guide which is for non-steam versions, but it's the same thing, just different target folders.

This post on the STEAM forums is a lot more easier to do and simple. I suggest everybody to check it out. Especiely people having difficulty combining both games to run as combined operation.

It seems like you haven't tried updating and launching arma with the 6updater. The 6updater fixed my problems and is really nice for updating the DayZ files. I personally followed the guide on this forum - http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=107825.0

Good luck, and keep at it!

You must not have installed many mods in your day. Fairly simple to install actually, and what do you know... there's a 'How to install DayZ' video on the downloads page! Specifically telling you how to install with the Steam version of ARMA2.
