Last Man Alive 2 Posted September 30, 2012 Ok, so I watched the video and read the guide 3 times on how to install. All went well until launchAddon "Dayz_amin" requires "CA_Dubbing_Counterattack"I downloaded the mod via Torrents, from the link provided on the main page. Any ideas how to fix?I tried using the Day Z Commander and got an error saying Arma II is not installedGoogle has failed me here trying to find an answer and youtube is littered with loads of videos, and based on comments on many, unsure which one is correct Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mos1ey 6301 Posted September 30, 2012 Have you run ARMA II and ARMA II:OA once each before you tried to install?If not - do that and try DayZ Commander again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Last Man Alive 2 Posted September 30, 2012 Have you run ARMA II and ARMA II:OA once each before you tried to install?If not - do that and try DayZ Commander again.Yes. I ran each one once.Then closed Steam, then Opened as Admin.I received the first error doing it manually making the folders @DayzZ and Addons. So I removed the folders and tried DayZ Commander(as pictured above). I uninstalled both games and restarted the pc. I am currently downloading the games from steam again, but this time will try to run it via Day Z Commander.Question. When running Day Z Commander, do I leave Steam open, or close it? Thanks for helping me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mos1ey 6301 Posted September 30, 2012 I usually leave Steam open and have never had any problems, obviously make sure ARMA isn't running though. And again, make sure you run both games once before you install DayZ, that's important. Good luck. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am downloading 1 at a time. Was gonna download both 100% then open 1 at a timeStill not 100% sure about Day Z Commander. I know how to make folders in the appropriate folders.Can you tell me if this tutorial is proper? Thanks againBeen reading on steam others have experienced issues with Day Z Commander while others have not. But I prefer manual, as it appears easy enough, and I read somewhere that Arma2 OA patch was needed, then read elsewhere it was not :unsure: Edited September 30, 2012 by Last Man Alive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
herrjon 478 Posted September 30, 2012 (edited) I actually use Commander with steam closed and logged in on another computer, but my install was a bit odd, using the six updater download and then later switching to DayZ Commander. I know when I got it to work on my brother's computer though, steam needed to be open, or at least logged in and active.I'll hit a few points just to cover some bases-Make sure you run bother Arma II and and Arma II OA to at least the title screen. You may have to do this by running steam as admin.-To double check the game installed correctly, right click on the game in your library, go to properties->local files and select 'verify integrity of game cache'. Do this for both.-In commander, go to settings and check both 'launch using steam' and 'replace origianl Arma2OA with Beta so Steam works'-Also under commander setting, verify the directories are correct. It typically has them correct, but if you can run the games in steam, you may have to override the path for it to recognize the game is installed.Aside from that, I don't know what to tell you.
