Install mods arma 2 steam. Install DAYZ (both versions - including steam)

How to install DayZ?

The game Arma 2 is a military simulator with realistic physics. However, the game is not that popular compared to its dayz mod.

The mod created an atmosphere of a zombie apocalypse, where players had to survive at any cost. Moreover, the mod used realistic physics of the main game Arma 2, which made the game even more interesting. Players appear practically naked in a world where they can be killed by a crowd of zombies or another player who decides that the player's equipment is better than his.

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

How to install the Dayz mod

To install dayz on the game Arma 2, you need to perform a number of steps:

1. We 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 disk, purchased through the Steam service, or downloaded a pirated version from a torrent. In the case of a pirated version, you can enter zeros instead of the key or install a crack.
2. We install the game Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead, which in Russia is called “Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead”. However, a license key is already required here, which will have to be purchased along with the game on disk or in the Steam service. Without a license key you will not be able to play the dayz mod. The game must be installed in the main folder of the Arma 2 game.
3. Over the game "Operation Arrowhead" you need to install a patch that will update the game to version 1.60 or higher. Otherwise the mod will not start.
4. Download and install the DayZ Commander game from this link.
5. After installation, launch the game, it should update to the current latest version. You can also download all varieties of the dayz mod with additions from players.
6. To start the game, in the desired version of the dayz mod that you have chosen, you need to click on install patches and beta files through DayZ Commander in the “install/update” section. Current patches and files will always be marked with a green stripe and the words “Latest beta patch”.

Thus, we have the dayz mod installed. To start the game itself, you need to select a suitable server in DayZ Commander and log into it.

How to play on pirate dayz 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, which will hack the game and allow you to play without a license on pirated servers.
• To access 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 find pirate 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 SiX Launcher program. It will help you download the latest updates for the mod and install them without the official launcher, which will require a license key. The same program can also be used with a license to download 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 administrators can do whatever they want, including changing day to night or removing loot. Also, pirate servers do not save your character's progress for another server. On licensed servers, it is possible to change the server to another and maintain the leveling of the character and his loot.

Requirements:
To run ArmA 2: DayZ Mod we will 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, look at point (2). If you have a CD/DVD version of "ArmA 2 OA", see paragraph (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 on 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 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 launch the game and spend a couple of minutes in it (I advise beginners to undergo training), smoothly move on to point (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 we like with the game "ArmA 2" (almost any repack will do, since we do not need 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 location. We launch it and spend a couple of minutes in it.
2.2 Download DayZ Mod http://store.steampowered.com/app/224580/
3. Now we will move the map from "ArmA 2" to "ArmA 2 OA", in fact, in the end we will get a full-fledged "ArmA 2 Combined Operations". Go to the folder with "ArmA 2" installed (you set the path yourself during installation) and move/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 was successful))

P.S To find servers for our version, I enter the DayZ Mod version 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 in any way I can :)

A very detailed manual with pictures, where I will chew everything into a liquid puree :)

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

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

I suggest a simple method - first download what I indicate in the text below, and then follow my detailed installation steps. Everything will take you about an hour - 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, follow my instructions exactly)

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

1) Game ARMA 2– if possible, buy a license, but if you can’t find it, use the image (I used the image from Akella). A “universal” key usually comes with the image.

2) Game image Arma2_Operation_Arrowhead

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

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

Regarding beta patches:

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

Currently, the DAYZ version requires the latest beta patch for Operation_Arrowhead - over time, the article will become outdated, and you may need to download the next latest patch. If you don’t get the patch right, it’s okay; when you log into the server, the client will tell you which patch you need. You can always find all the latest beta patches for the game, the latest patch is usually at the very top - that’s what you need to install

Now install the Six Updater program– she downloads the necessary files.

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

Install DAYZ (both versions - including steam)

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

It often happens that there is another deadline for updating there, like - “beta patcher blah blah” - no big deal, let him patch and update everything.

Install DAYZ (both versions - including steam)

That's all.

Next, for convenience, you can download the ArmA2 setup program - ArmA II Launcher. There you can fine-tune the client settings, specify priorities, the number of cores used, memory, and other things. In general, it’s a convenient thing.

You can run the mod itself as you please.

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

Installing the steam version.

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

2. Download Combined Operations.

3. Launch 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!

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. Default for Steam: "(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 may simply be overloaded, 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, download BattlEye Anti-Cheat from here http://www.battleye.com/download.html and put it in the "BattlEye" folder, which is located in the "Expansion" folder, which is located in the ARMA2:OA root folder.
