Doing this will prevent you from using high resolution textures. If you are on a cheap rig without much video RAM I would suggest you to do this as you'll probably be playing with low-res textures.
Hope this helps! DayZ sadece modlardan biri. Only Arma II? Comment has been collapsed. You logged onto the world I was on earlier! So thank you very much. Ha ha. That's the first time I've been spotted by a reader online and heard about it. Thanks for letting me know. And thank you for not killing me! I can however play the game just fine going through Steam. I have the Amra 2 Free version and bought the OA expansion. I thought I followed this reference to a t, but I aint sure where I may have messed up at.
The version through steam is 1. The beta patch installed fine as well. Also when I launch Six Launcher it says " Please note: the beta is enabled, either automatically or in the Options, but you also have the Steam Launcher enabled.
That website could definitely do with being a bit more clear - I already knew what the answer was and yet I had trouble understanding just what the hell they were on about. What it's trying to tell you is that you need to swap a couple of files over. Steam will launch the game based only on what Steam expects.
Steam expects the Operation Arrowhead exe file to be in a certain location, but when you install the beta, it creates a new exe file which is in a different place and Steam doesn't like that. The Six Launcher will do pretty much whatever you like but, if you want to be able to access the Steam overlay and other Steam features in the game whilst still using Six Launcher to start it , then there's a problem because the Six Launcher actually uses Steam to launch the game.
Still following me? You've got two choices: 1. Untick the option in Six Launcher to have the Steam overlay active. It will run just fine, but Steam features will not be available. If you tell Six Launcher to make the Steam overlay active, then you need to replace the original Operation Arrowhead exe with the beta exe.
This means doing this: a. Go into your Operation Arrowhead folder and find arma2oa. If you choose the second option then, every time you update the beta, you will have to repeat the steps above to copy the file over.
Hopefully that's clear enough, but give me a shout if it's not. Hey Koda, I recently installed Arma 2 and OA onto my girlfriend's computer using my own steam account untill I had gotten it for her later that day on hers. I had accidently started up the Six launcher with Day Z while on my own account. I've tried reinstalling both versions, deleteing the Day Z mod from the OA folder, and a million other things, but regardless of what I try it loads up my character data, instead of a new set for her.
Anny help would be awesome regarding how to fix that :D -Nightreaver. Ah, now this is a fun situation. It can be fixed, but it's slightly complicated and annoying. What's happened is that Steam has saved your CD key to her registry.
It needs to be deleted from her registry so that the new one can go in there. Luckily a chap called sacriel42 has made a guide that covers this. He's actually talking about having two keys and thus two characters on the same computer , but it will show you exactly how to access the registry and find where the CD key is stored. You'll be able to follow it and then delete the key. Sorry to bug you again but before I buy Arma 2 combined operations I want to know If that i turn the blood option to disabled will it affect DayZ?
Well that was quite weird. I just went out and deliberately got myself hurt in order to test this out. I can tell you that turning off blood does stop it from appearing when you shoot zombies. But it does not turn off the blood effect when you get hurt. I wasn't able to test out if I could see if you can see other players bleeding as no one would oblige me. So turning blood off half-works.
You won't see any when you shoot zombies, but you will still see blood pour out when you get hit and are bleeding. Yep, that's good advice. I haven't included it as modifying the command line is confusing enough for novice users. But I may well include it in my next version of the guide as an option for advanced users.
The DayZ Wiki may state that, but it's wrong. There are no problems at all. The difference between ArmA 2 Free and the full ArmA 2 is that some only some of the graphics have slightly lower resolution textures and I defy you to tell the difference and the quality of some of the sounds is apparently lower and I can't find anyone who can tell the difference there. You can play on all official servers using ArmA 2 Free. All you need to buy is Operation Arrowhead and that's it.
Using the Combined Operations version or the Anniversary edition may allow you to skip one step during installation the part where you copy over the Addons folder , but that's about it.
I stand by what I say - I will personally install it on your machine if you can't get it working. When using the free version of Arma2 should i buy the steam or non steam version of Operation Arrowhead? Is there any difference? There's no real difference. The Steam version is a little easier to work with as it's already fully up-to-date so you don't need to install any updates. Other than that, there's no difference at all.
Very much so. Operation Arrowhead comes with 'Lite' version of these lower resolution textures , so if you have the proper BAF installed, then these textures will look a lot better for you.
Hello again Kodabar! Good to see you still helping people out installing DayZ. I just have one quick question I bought Arma 2 OA from gamesrocket, as I said.
It gave me the installation files and a key for the game to enter upon install. Now, I've been wondering whether I could play DayZ on my laptop using the same character. I doubt I can install OA again on my laptop as I only have the one key. Is there any way to do this?
Now that's an interesting question. I would think that it is possible to do that. I'm not entirely certain, but your key will probably work in both, just not at the same time is all. So I reckon you should be able to use it on both. You were absolutely right. Installed it on my laptop, joined a server and I was in the right place with all my stuff and statistics.
Good to know I don't have to be on my desktop to play DayZ :. Yes, it seems like you can. I don't encourage this as you're just denying Bohemia money that they deserve, but apparently you can do this.
The improvement in graphics is almost imperceptible though. The game uses the Operation Arrowhead game engine anyway and the only difference is some slight improvement in SOME textures. People seem obsessed with this issue and it's really not important at all. At some point, I'll take some screenshots to show the difference. ArmA 2 Free also has slightly lower quality audio, but no one has yet mentioned that, just the graphics.
Hi i did everything as you said, but when i enter to the multiplayer section to choose a server The red X's show servers that you can't join because of a difference between the version they're running and the version that you've got installed. I can see that most servers are on DayZ 1. What version do you have installed and which beta patch?
It's only a quick fix as when your VRAM over fills again the same artifacting will return, and sadly this means those with less VRAM will see the glitching return faster.
Anyway, I hope this helps some of you! That's a good tip and I'll add it to the Troubleshooting section. I've installed it using Six Updater and I got dayZcommander to play with friends easier. I really have no idea what to do and was hoping you could help me out. See Step 4. How do I get to it? Do I need to ruin it, I have to the menu but do I need to hop in game or re download it? Okay, I figured it out, thanks! But now that I have it working, everything's fine up until after I "wait for character to create" or whatever, the loading screen just freezes and I'm stuck on it.
Name: The Regurgitator Is there any way I can start over with nothing about dayz installed? I used Six Updater and the latest beta patch. It works, but it freezes up on the loading screen like Distressed Possum. Try running it without using Six Updater. The only other thing I can suggest at the moment is updating BattlEye manually. The Regurgitator Do you mean "without Six Updater" as using the beta patch launcher? Is it any of those? I will try a few of these and updating BattleEye manually.
Oh wow, I had the server browser filtered to 1. It works now. I also installed the latest beta build and force-reinstalled BattleEye. Ha ha ha! I never even thought to suggest checking that. Just as well you did. I'm glad to hear you're back up and running though. Hello, I just want to warn everyone. Thank You. Ok, so I purchased and downloaded Arma2 combined operations from Steam. Arma2 runs fine.
Thanks in advance for any help. Exit Steam and start it again as an administrator right click and "Run as administrator" Go to your Steam library and click on Operation Arrowhead. Right click, select "Properties", click the "Local files" tab and choose "Verify integrity of game cache" Grow a beard.
Launch OA. Hopefully that should do it. Let me know if it doesn't. Tried it 3 times, each time it said: 1 files failed to validate and will be reaquired. Okay, there's another thing you can try. It's not exactly pretty and it may be a little mystifying if you're not used to how computer file systems work. YES Click to highlight that line and then click the "Edit" button below and then in the box that appears, tick the "allow" box under "Full control" and click OK.
NO Click "Add Then in the box that appears, tick the "allow" box under "Full control" and click OK. Even if this doesn't work, it's perfectly harmless. What it does is to allow users as opposed to administrators to access the files in those folders. You're probably the only user on your system so it makes very little difference. Give it a go and let me know what happens. Oh I should also mention one last thing - I probably should have suggested it before mucking around with file permissions, but well I've spent all day writing reports about media coverage of Olympic legacy projects yawn.
Ah, right - that's good progress then. Go back and run ArmA 2 again and then run OA again. And finally, just for luck, run Combined Operations. Then try to install the beta patch and it ought to work. If it doesn't, restart your computer and go through that again.
The serial number error is due to the registry key not being written properly. Oddly it doesn't get written to the registry when you install the games, but only when you actually run them. Sometimes it can't read back the registry key until the computer is restarted. I have now read 2, newspaper articles about Olympic legacy projects. Tomorrow I get to read a bunch more I'm kind of hoping that I don't wake up tomorrow From the know how you possess of PC's and software it sounds like you're in the wrong line of business lol.
But on a much better note I'm up and running finally. Simple reboot Thanks a ton for the article and the personal help. Keep up the good work and good luck with all that Olympic non-sense.
I'd shoot myself if I had to work in computers these days. Awful things designed by idiots who make decisions based on what's the most profitable rather than what's the best way of doing things. Anyway I'm glad to hear you're up and running. It's amazing what a reboot can do sometimes. I can't actually think of any logical reason why it should help.
After all, the data was written into the registry already so why the game couldn't read it out again is a mystery. Not enough ones? Too many zeroes? Give me a shout if you need any other help. Yeah it definitely is, amazingly I haven't died yet after a couple of hours of playing, however I'm on the brink of starvation lol.
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. Show graph. Brought to you by Steam Labs.
