[SOLVED WITH METHOD] Problems playing custom maps with DayZ

Recommended Posts

EDIT: If you are having the same, or similar problems, read this ! What I did to fix this was I went into my Steam Library, and right clicked operation arrowhead, and went to properties. once i was there, I went into the general tab, then clicked on 'set launch options'. I then proceeded to delete the text and pressed OK. hopefully it will help you guys. :)

Hopefully when my problem is solved, other people can come to this thread for some help if they have the same or similar problem.

Ok, so to start off, I want to play a custom map, DayzFallujah to be exact. I have to disable @DayZ in the Expansion menu of the main menu of Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead. The problem is that I can't actually disable any expansions, the option is faded out.

When I open up Operation Arrowhead on steam, It opens DayZ, not operation arrowhead, I don't get the option to play single player. I'd also like to mention that I've tried re-downloading the game, first time I deleted the local content data off steam, and then re-downloaded, and when I opened up Operation Arrowhead, in the expansions, it still said @DayZ. It was late at this point, so I backed up this file, then deleted the local content data again, but this time I went into the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common" folder, and deleted the whole operation arrowhead folder, so I wanted a complete fresh start when I re-downloaded it again. The next morning, I see that the game has finished downloading, I check the Expansions menu again, alas, it still said @DayZ.

It's like I bear a curse when I play this game, every left or right turn I encounter a problem. I'm glad that the standalone is coming, so there will be problems.

Thanks in advance,

Brother

P.S. when I tried posting this thread, the server hosting this forum went under maintenance, just my luck lol

Use dayz commander... end o thread. It will download and install fallujah, lingor and takistan, and browse and run them just fine

You could also use other launchers to manage yah mods more easily, i use the arma II launcher by spirited machine.

hmm, if i forgot to mention, I can't enable/disable expansions, and I do use DayZcommander. I think my problem is more complex than you think, friend. But, yeah I'll look into that arma 2 launcher, thanks.
