Does anyone have a quick guide to playing this game?

[xxchris17thxx 0]

I'm new, I would like to try out this game. I'm looking for straight forward tutorials that can help me quickly install this game without or little to no complications. I've tried searching online and I've seen that a lot of the guides are either out dated or use some different method of installation. I have downloaded Arma 2: CO freely from the official site and now I'm wondering what to do next exactly, I would like to play the DayZ version...Anyone can help?

Problem, It's saying

"There was an error launching Arma2 With DayZ. Please check your settings, verify your game directories, and try again.

Details: Cannot start process because a file name has not been provided.

Solution?

It doesn't appear you have Arma2 Combinded Operations installed and/or you have not started the game manually first. Would you like to purchase Arma2 Combined Operations right now? Yes/No

Does Dayz commander work with the free version of Arma2?

If you want the installation to be quick and painless you should download the DayZ Commander. :)

Here is what you do.

Step 1. Download and install Arma 2 combined operation (Arma 2 and Arma 2 operation arrowhead)

step 2. Once download is complete Open Arma 2 and OA once manually and close game

Step 3. Download DayZ Commander by searching for website on google (Lazy? http://www.dayzcommander.com/)

Steå 4. Open DayzCommander and click ->Install/update on the top right.

Step 5. Install DAYZ:1.7.2.6 first after it completes install Arma 2 update (Latest 97239)

Step 6. If you useing steam go to settings and UNCHECK Launch useing steam.

For me if i have Launch useing steam checked the updates wont work it will automatically go back to 1,7.2.5

don't know why

Now if you useing steam i like to use the Steam Launch option.

By changeing this you Right click on Arma 2: operation arrow head and click propertis then where it says Launch options typ in this code

-mod=@dayz -nosplash

and hit Okey(or apply cant remember)

If you want to play another map install map useing dayz commander then change launch option again

You have to run ARMA II and OA once each before you can install DayZ. That's why you're having problems.
