Related Hot Network Questions. What I'm not getting is why you would put up a link to update the Arma II: Operation Arrowhead if I don't even have the expansion or whatever it is. How can I get it? Operation Arrowhead isn't really an expansion.
ArmA 2 is a game in its own right, Operation Arrowhead is a game in its own right. You can play either without the other. Although the both run off the same engine, OA uses a more recent version of it. So you need to have both. Whilst you can use ArmA 2 Free instead of paying for the full version, you have to at least buy Operation Arrowhead. And then apply the updates, etc Kodabar, First off excellent blog on DayZ I would have never figured it out without your information Any chance you could give us some steps to load Lingor Island?
Looks fun but I can not find and install guide for a nonsteam install. I've never tried Lingor Island. I've got some instructions that I'm told work, but I haven't tested them. Give them a try if you like and be sure to let me know how you get on. Before you start, you must have Arma 2 and Operation Arrowhead installed as well as the latest DayZ patch and the latest beta patch. Open it up and put the lingor folder in your Operation Arrowhead folder 4.
If it asks, choose to overwrite existing files. Launch the game. From the in-game menu choose "Expansions" and "Enable" all three Lingor mods. Choose "Yes" to restart game. From the in-game menu, choose "Multiplayer" and then "Filter" - set mission to "dayz lingor" and apply. No name or identifying word, no indication of from where you got the games, what steps you've taken so far, what launcher if any that you're using - none of the things I ask for in order to help you.
The profilepath error can appear for a few different reasons. Often using Steam and Six Launcher together can do this. Not running both the games before installing DayZ can also cause this. And getting the shortcut wrong can also result in this error.
Hello, i have tried to install all the pieces, but with Sixupdater, when i try to join servers it says "It appears youre ARMA2 key is not endered into the registry. In case of Steam game, please run each ARMA game through Steam Launcher at least once, while the Steam launcher is started as administrator" I have done this, but it keeps coming up with the same thing over and over again? It is killing me, please help?! It seems that Steam has somehow run out of keys for ArmA 2 Free.
I don't quite understand what's going on, but in the meantime I'm recommending that you uninstall the Steam version and instead download the version from arma2. If it's complaining that your dayz. Have you by any chance placed them in the ArmA 2 Free folder rather than the Operation Arrowhead folder? Where did you get your games? The only time I've seen that come up before is when people have bought keys from one of those Russian online cd key stores and been given a code that doesn't work.
Hello, me again Paddington it has sorted that problem out, but now i have the problem, of "Deleted. There's only two reasons why that comes up. Either you haven't installed the mod files in the right place or you haven't loaded the mod correctly with the game shortcut. If not, click on "Expansions" and see if the boxes for those three are checked. Hi there, I have a problem with installing Arma II free version. He keeps asking for a CD key but i cant get one anywhere. Steam doesnt work either.
He keep telling me cant log in main server. Can i use a Key of a friend. And do you have a website where there are still keys available. I don't know what Steam's doing with this. They seem to have removed the ArmA 2 Free page and there's conflicting accounts about what is happening with the ArmA 2 "Demo" version they offer instead.
To be honest, all you need from ArmA 2 Free is the Addons folder if you just want to play DayZ so you could just take a copy of that from your friend. Hi Kodabar. I have done everything on your guide. And when i start arma its starts up with Dayz screen and says "loading" and all that. I come into main menu. But all of the servers have a red cross on left side. I tested to join some but all of them says "Joining server" and after about 5 seconds its jumping back to server browser and says "Connection failed".
I have check so the servers i tried on is on the same patch. I Have patch 1. Not using steam I have sixlauncher. Regards Soddan. It sound to me like you don't have the latest beta patch installed.
Servers normally have a red X icon next to them when you don't have the beta patch that they want. Go to Step 5 and download the latest beta patch. It's just a zip file and inside it is an exe - run the exe and follow the instructions. So if you're using this to launch the game, you may like to make a copy of it before installing the beta patch so that you don't have to modify it again afterwards.
Are the ArmA games installed properly and have you installed all the updates? Also, from where did you get the games, what have you done so far, etc If you got the gamea via Steam, try the following: 1. Do the same with ArmA 2. Usually the "data file too short" error results from problems during installation; it's tried to install a file and messed up during the process of extracting it.
If I were you, the first thing I'd do is completely uninstall the game and reinstall it from scratch. I'd also consider copying the contents of the DVD to the hard disk and installing it from there to eliminate any problems from reading the DVD disc. Thanks even though its kinda out of topic,i will try that and if it still doesn't work then i will just leave it be.
Hey, In the right top corner of the screen of DayZ mean it only says DayZ, it does not say expansion beta under it. What does this mean? That either means you haven't installed the beta patch Step 5 or modified the shortcut Step 7.
Modifying the shortcut tells it to load the beta executable file. Go back and check those step again. First I want to thanks for a great Guide. Now to my problem. I followed you guide and everything worked great. Until today. All server got an red cross so i updated the client. After that i where able to play again. But something happend. I can play for about 5 min and suddenly it says "No message received for 10 seconds" and keep doing that with more seconds.
So I have to disconnect and rejoin but it just gives me 5 new min to play then it happends again. I Tried diffrent servers with no succsess. Please what have I done? When that error message comes up, it means that your game client hasn't received any message from the server for a while. There are a couple of causes. To be getting it on all servers is a new one on me. Do you play with other people - and if so, do they get the same error, or is it just you?
Usually the error appears when a server is having problems, so to hear of it on all servers is worrying. Hi Kodabar John here. It was my internet that was bad. So I restarted my internet and now working Great! Thanks for reply. Glad to hear it. Too often people post saying that they have a problem, but then they fix it themselves and I don't hear back from them - leaving me wondering if there's something I should be investigating.
I'm cheered to hear you're back in the game and thanks again for letting me know what happened. I have the deleted chernarus error and i have the addons folder in arma operation arrowhead folder and its still not working. If it's not picking up on the Addons folder, then there can only be a couple of things wrong.
Either you put the addons folder in the wrong place or it's lacking the relevant files. If it came from ArmA 2 full then it ought to be 8. Don't launch OA through the link you use to launch DayZ. You should have a 'normal' OA shortcut as well.
If you're using Steam, it'll be in your Steam library. If you're not using Steam, then it ought to be in a Start menu folder called Bohemia Interactive. If you really can't find either of these or they're missing for some reason , create a new shortcut for OA. Right click on that and select "Create shortcut" Place the shortcut anywhere you like your desktop maybe?
Do so. OA should play just fine now. Note that disabling the DayZ expansions will not disable them when you're playing DayZ as launched from your DayZ shortcut. Hi, everything worked fine for me until they released the new DayZ version 1.
I downloaded that via DayZ Commander and installed a new beta patch as well But when I try to join a server, I am stuck at the loading screen. A friend who was playing on a server I was trying to join said that the "client not responding" error appeared.
I redownloaded the DayZ Files and installed a new beta patch but that didnt help either. Try a later version of the beta patch. I'm using without any problems. If your friend was on the server you were trying to join and it was coming up with the "client not responding error", then it sounds like there may be a problem with BattlEye.
If a newer beta patch doesn't solve it, try the following: 1. Go to your Steam folder. Copy CheckFilelist. Is it possible to buy operation arrowhead,download a pirated arma 2 and copy the addons into OA addons folder? I have a really old piece of snap computer with 1gb RAM. If I turn down most of my settings to the lowest possible value, will it still be laggy as hell? I think you'll be struggling. The best thing you can do is to try out ArmA 2 Free to see how well that runs.
I launch and it gives me the option to install BattlEye, so I do,it then launches the game and after about 5 seconds it automatically takes me out and give me this error message:Bad serial number given in setup. I don't know what to do. Please help. I'll just stay anonymous. Ah, this is a nasty error. It happens when Steam fails to write the CD Key to the registry properly. When you've done that, do the following: 1. Reboot 2. Quit Steam and make sure it's closed use the Task Manager if you have to 3.
Run Steam as an Administrator. Validate the game files right click on the game in your Steam library, select Properties, Local Files, Verify integrity of game cache 5. Run ArmA 2 not Combined Ops 6. Run Operation Arrowhead 7. Run Combined Operations 8. Quit Steam 9. Reboot Run Steam as an Administrator Hopefully that should do it. Don't skip any steps. Hi, I've got a big problem. I've bought a copy of op. I've got new computer and I want to use it on that one, but I've lost my serial key, the manual is gone, I can't find it that's the big problem!
Is there a way to get another one? Or some keygen? Or maybe the key is in some "magic" readme in the cd? I don't like craking games, but I think that it is right if I try to get back what's mine, so could you help me? Nevermind, I found that! Behind the fucking bed! I love it when problems get fixed before I even have a chance to reply.
Hopefully the rest of the process will go smoothly. This is my problem I would love to play DayZ on singleplayer, because I don't know the map and would love to know all of it. Please help, and thanks. The 'scope' and 'counterattack' errors are because the game isn't picking up on the ArmA 2 content. The easy way to fix that is to copy the "Addons" folder from your ArmA 2 program folder and paste it into your Operation Arrowhead folder. The second error usually appears because your shortcut is incorrect or the files are in the wrong place.
It's complaining about Chernarus which is included with ArmA 2, so it will probably be fixed by copying the Addons folder. If it isn't, check these steps: 1.
Take the files from the single player RAR and put them in the same place, over-writing some files as you do so 4. If it doesn't match, you'll get that error. Hello I've been having issues with DayZ ever since I've had it yes I've been able to play but its been how do i put this?
Strange i guess. I can't zero on any guns even if they have zeroing, many of the GUI features i guess don't work, some do but a lot don't. I can't view the vehicle Health I guess you would put it, the vehicle damage, etc. Now that's how to leave a comment. Pay attention all you people who type stuff like "It don't work. But I think perhaps the problem is related to Operation Arrowhead. Although one would assume the version on Bohemia's website to be the latest, fully-updated version, it just isn't.
I don't know why Bohemia don't have the latest version on their own site when they manage to do it on Steam, but that just seems to be how it is.
I would suggest downloading the 1. OA introduced many new features to ArmA and some of those weren't present when it was released but were added in later updates. The beta patch isn't part of the normal update chain and isn't cumulative ie it doesn't contain earlier updates. Maddeningly, the beta patch will happily allow you to install it into an out-of-date version of OA without complaint. So if I were you, I'd try installing the update and see where it gets you.
There is a chance that the installer will complain that the game is a later version that's the damn beta patch interfering and won't allow the update to be installed. If that happens and there's a strong possibility that it might then rather annoyingly, you're going to need to uninstall OA, then install it, run the update, run OA once, then install the beta patch. I realise this is all a bit tedious and frustrating, but it's the best way to proceed.
If that doesn't help, let me know and I'll see what I can do to help. If the worst comes to the worst, I can install it for you via Teamviewer. I've installed the game hundreds of times now and I've never yet failed to get it working. Thanks again for providing all that information.
That's exactly what's needed to make my life a whole lot easier! I've done everything you said uninstalling OA, ran the update, ran OA once, and then installed the beta patch. The only type of servers i can eve get on is Takistan Life, and i still get on all of them It says I am missing files. I can't get on DayZ or Wasteland, because it says I am missing files. Since it said i was missing files, I installed the mods on Playwithsix, but it still didn't work.
At the menu of OA under expansions I can see the mods there, and even if i mess with it enabling, etc, I still cannot join the servers, no clue what to do here, thanks for the progress so far. Thanks for doing all that; reinstalling isn't much fun.
This is all very curious. Takistan Life servers don't require any mod files. All they need is a mission file which they will automatically download when you join. All the core Takistan files are included with OA so you shouldn't have any problems getting on them.
I don't recommend using Six because it stores the mod files in an unusual place. I would recommend that you try DayZ Commander as that places the files in the standard location and it automates the process of joining a server you choose a server through DayZ Commander and it starts the game and joins the server for you.
In which case, I would suggest that we use Teamviewer so that I can look at your setup directly if you're okay with a complete stranger from the internet connecting to your computer. So, try DayZ Commander and see if you have any luck with that and then get back to me.
Sorry it has taken a while for me to respond but yes that worked great, and after that all the mods I wanted to install I just moved into the same area and they work fine. Thanks for the help! Hello Kodabar,I'm Debeu derbedeu. At the step 7 I dont understand. First time i tried with "option C" but dont succeed,so i tried with Dayz Commander but I dont understand nothing.
All I want to speak you is, if you could help me through team viewer to fix the game? I want very much to play this game. What is your native language?
I speak a few languages. Sorry for my ignorance but as i understand it is mandatory you have Operation arrowhead no matter if you are using arma 2 free, or a purchased arma 2, correct? Technically, it is possible to play without paying for it. But you have to use a pirate versions and you can only play on servers that advertise themselves as "No CD-Key" which rather limits your options.
And they don't tend to be the most reliable or permanent servers. DayZ Commander only supports a limited number of mods.
I've installed Invasion before using Six Launcher. Sorry for the late reply, I've been running a music festival for the last eight days and I'm exhausted. I would say that was unlikely. If RAM or a graphics card had burnt out, they would most likely stop working completely or at least crash in a very random matter.
Dust builds up on PC components over time and causes them to overheat. When they get too hot, performance is reduced and could result in problems like you're having. Hey, when I try to install the beta Patch, even as an administrator, it skill comes up with the "wrong CD Key" error. I bought the combined operations from steam two days ago.
If so thanks. So now when you go to install the beta patch, it has tow failure points. So if your CD key is actually missing, you'll get the same error twice. When you install the beta patch, look carefully at the title bar of the error message. If that doesn't help, let me know and I'll talk you through the process of forcing the CD key data into the registry.
Good, good. Or rather good, bad. Lagging, eh? That doesn't sound right. Can you tell me a bit more about your installation? You got the game from Steam, so it'll be up to date.
And you've got the beta patch in there now, so that's fine. Hope this helps! DayZ sadece modlardan biri. Only Arma II? Comment has been collapsed. You need OA. Nope, you need Operation Arrowhead.
