Solution of problems

I get "You cannot play/edit this mission, it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted.dayz_code, dayz_weapons, dayz_equip etc." when joining any server

You installed the mod or shortcut for the mod incorrectly. Make sure you add " " without quotes in the launcher settings and the Day Z mod files are installed in the correct location. Steam default: "(Hard drive letter):\(Find where Steam is located)\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\@DayZ\Addons"

I'm stuck on "Waiting for server response" or "Waiting for character to create" and "Receiving Data"

• The servers are probably just overloaded, please wait or try another server. If it doesn't help, try these methods.
• Launch Operation Arrowhead from Steam and select the option to reinstall BattlEye Anti-Cheat client. If you are using the boxed version then download BattlEye Anti-Cheat from here http://www.battleye.com/download.html and put it in the "BattlEye" folder which is in the "Expansion" folder which is in the ARMA2:OA root folder.
• http://www.armafiles.info/dayz/
• If that doesn't help, try reinstalling Arma2 and OA.

Note: Frequent connections and reconnections may be related to this issue. Please be patient before connecting to another server.

I get "You can not play/edit this mission; it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted.cherarus" when I join any server

Make sure you run the mod through "Combined Operations" and not through "Operation Arrowhead" when you run it on steam.

Invisible objects, missing textures and the like.

I have some other strange graphical artifacts due to which nothing is visible.

• Known bug, occurs due to barbed wire that players can place. This will be fixed in the next patch.
• Also try changing the graphics settings in the game.

How do I change the FOV (Field of View)?

• Look.

I have an error during startup "ARMA2 stopped working

• Right click on ARMA 2 in steam - "Properties" - "Local Files" - "Verify Integrity of Cache".
• Re-download the DayZ mod files and make sure they are the latest version.
• Try to run the game without the Day Z mod, if it works then reinstall the mod.
• Try installing the latest beta patch.

I can't use direct chat. Microphone stutters

• Known bug. You can install the latest beta patch for Arma2:OA or wait until the official fix comes out.

I get "No entry "bin\config.bin\CfgVehicles\"" or similar popup message when I start the game or play on the server

How to install DayZ?

Arma 2 is a military simulation game with realistic physics. However, the game is not as popular as its dayz mod.

The mod created an atmosphere of a zombie apocalypse, where players had to survive at all costs. Moreover, the mod used the realistic physics of the main game Arma 2, which made the game even more interesting. Players spawn almost naked in a world where they can be killed by a mob of zombies or by another player who thinks the player's gear is better than theirs.

However, not every gamer knows how to install dayz. Let's look into this issue together.

How to install Dayz mod

To install dayz on Arma 2, you need to follow a series of steps:

1. Install the game Arma 2. In Russia, the game is distributed under the name "Arma 2: Modern Warfare Tactics". The game can be purchased on disc, purchased through the Steam service, or downloaded as a pirated version from a torrent. In the case of a pirated version, instead of a key, you can enter zeros or set a crack.
2. Install the game Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead, which in Russia is called "Arma 2: Operation Arrow". However, a license key is already required here, which will have to be bought along with the game on a disk or in the Steam service. Without a license key, you will not be able to play dayz mod. You need to install the game in the main folder of the Arma 2 game.
3. Over the game "Operation Arrowhead" you need to put a patch that will update the game to version 1.60 or higher. Otherwise, the mod will not run.
4. Download and install the DayZ Commander game from this link.
5. After installation, we launch the game, it should be updated to the current current version. You can also download all varieties of the dayz mod with additions from the players.
6. To start the game, in the desired version of the dayz mod that you have chosen, you need to click on the installation of patches and beta files through the DayZ Commander in the "install / update" section. Actual patches and files will always be marked with a green bar and the inscription "Latest beta patch".

So we have the dayz mod installed. To start the game itself, you need to select the appropriate server in DayZ Commander and go to it.

How to play on dayz pirate servers

Installing a pirated version of the game and the dayz mod follows almost the same principle. However, there are also differences:

• After installation, you need to run a key generator that will hack the game and allow you to play without a license on pirated servers.
• To enter the server, you need to find pirated servers that you will have to search on the Internet and find out their ip-address, and sometimes you will have to install a special patch. However, you can also find pirated servers in normal mode by entering the phrases nocd, no cd, no dvd, nodvd and other variations. Then a list of available pirate servers will be displayed.
• You also need to install the program "SiX Launcher". It will help you download the latest updates to the mod and install them without the official launcher, which will require a license key. The same program can also be used for a license for downloading updates, if this function suddenly does not work there.

Playing on pirated servers is not as good as on licensed ones, because there are a huge number of cheaters, hackers, and server admins can do whatever they want, including changing day and night or removing loot. Also, pirated servers do not save your character's progress for another server. On licensed servers, it is possible to change the server to another one and save the leveling of the character and his loot.

Requirements:
To run ArmA 2: DayZ Mod we need:
Steam account with "ArmA 2 OA" (point 1) or CD / DVD key of the "ArmA 2 OA" version (point 1.1).
Installed Steam version of "ArmA 2 OA" (clause 2), any (including pirated) version of "ArmA 2" (clause 2.1), "DayZ Mod" (clause 2.2)
Patience and attentiveness (point 3)

1. If you already have "ArmA 2 OA" activated on your Steam account, see point (2). If you have a CD/DVD version of "ArmA 2 OA", see item (1.1).
1.1 And so, we need to activate ArmA 2 OA on your Steam account. To do this, click in the lower left corner in Steam "+ ADD GAME" -> "Activate on Steam" -> "Next" -> "Agree" and enter the key that is indicated on the game box in the "Product Key" field, confirm the activation and go to point (2).

2. Everything is simple here, in the Steam library, select "ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead" and click "Install", wait until the game is installed. We start the game and spend a couple of minutes in it (I advise beginners to undergo training), smoothly proceed to paragraph (2.1).
2.1 Steam does not allow me to insert a download link, so we go to a verified Torrent tracker and look for any distribution you like with the game "ArmA 2" (almost any repack will do, since we need not the game itself, but its files) (IMPORTANT: the game must be patched to version 1.11). After downloading the distribution, install the game in any convenient place. We launch and spend a couple of minutes in it.
2.2 Download DayZ Mod http://store.steampowered.com/app/224580/
3. Now we will transfer the map from "ArmA 2" to "ArmA 2 OA", in fact, at the end we will get a full-fledged "ArmA 2 Combined Operations". We go to the folder with the installed "ArmA 2" (you set the path yourself during installation) and transfer/copy the "Addons" folder to (...Steam/SteamApps/common/ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead).
Launch "DayZ Mod" from the Steam library. And so, we got to the menu, look in the lower left corner, if there we see the logos "ArmA 2", "ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead" and "DayZ" everything went well))

P.S To find servers for our version, I prescribe the version of DayZ Mod in the filter, for example "1.8.6.1". There are few servers, but you can play. You can find out which version of DayZ Mod you have in the menu by looking at the lower right corner.
P.S.S If you have any questions, please contact me in the comments, I will help you as much as I can :)

Requirements:
To start ArmA 2: DayZ Mod we need:
Steam account with "ArmA 2 OA" (#1) or key CD/DVD version of "ArmA 2 OA" (#1.1).
Steam installed version of "ArmA 2 OA" (#2), any (including pirated) version of "ArmA 2" (#2.1), "DayZ Mod" (#2.2)

To do this we press on button in left lower corner Steam "+ ADD A GAME" -> "Activate a product on Steam" -> "Next" -> "I agree" and enter the key that is specified on the box of the game in the "Product Key" and confirm activation, now go to step (#2).

#2 - It "s all just in the library Steam, select "ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead" and click "Install", wait until the game is established. Start the game and spend it in a few of minutes. Exit from game and see paragraph (#2.1)

The most detailed manual manual with pictures, where I will chew everything to the state of liquid puree :)

The sensational game is wildly popular, but…hell, how do you install it? The mod does not have a separate installer. - To simply, without dancing, tambourine and other ritual movements (which easily eat up your priceless evening) to install and play.

First, we will talk about installing the regular version - without steam.

I offer a simple way - first download what I will indicate in the text below, and then follow my detailed installation steps. It will take you about an hour to do everything - mainly, everything will depend on the speed of your hard drive :)

If you want to get an optimally configured client with which you will not have any problems - just follow my instructions)

So, you will need - I list in detail so as not to miss anything.

1) ARMA 2 game- if possible, buy a license, but if you can't find it, use the image (I used the image from Akella). Along with the image is usually a "universal" key.

2) Arma2_Operation_Arrowhead game image

3) Key for game Arma2_Operation_Arrowhead(you will need to buy a key in the store - you can’t play without it!). Personally, I took this.

4) Patch for game Arma2_Operation_Arrowhead 1.60(type ARMA2OA_Update_160 into the search engine)

For beta patches:

At the moment, Bohemia is actively patching and optimizing the Arma2_Operation_Arrowhead client, and therefore a small patch is often required for new versions of the mod. There is no need to panic here - this rarely happens.

The DAYZ version currently requires the latest beta patch for Operation_Arrowhead - over time this article will become outdated and you may need to download the next latest patch. If you guess wrong with the patch, it's okay, when you enter the server, the client will tell you exactly which patch you need. You will always find all the latest beta patches of the game, the freshest patch is usually at the very top - you should install it

Now install Six Updater- it downloads the necessary files.

On the desktop, it will create two shortcuts - Six Launcher and Six Updater. We launch Six Launcher, and select the place where we installed the game (when you first start the program, it should offer it itself).

Install DAYZ (both versions - including steam)

Click on the mods tab, and then click on the mod name section, and start typing (without the quotes) "@DAYZ". - On the appeared fashion with the same name (it will be one), press the right mouse button, in the menu that appears, find the item marked in the figure, and press it.

It often happens that another deadline for the update comes up in the same place, that like - "beta patcher blah blah" - it's not scary, let everything patch and update.

Install DAYZ (both versions - including steam)

That's all.

Next, for convenience, you can download the ArmA II Launcher setup program. There you can fine-tune the client settings, specify priorities, the number of cores used, memory, and more. In general, a convenient thing.

You can run the mod the way you want.

Someone will launch Six Launcher, and immediately select the desired server from there (by the way, very convenient). Someone will be accustomed to launching the mod already from the ARMA2 game.

Steam version installation.

1. Go to steam and buy a version of the game called Combined Operations.

2. Download Combined Operations.

3. Run both games - first Armu2, then Operation_Arrowhead.

In general, that's all!

Good luck to you, and see you in the dark expanses of Chernarus!
