Post subject: | DayZ: Getting it working for 1.7 |
Lots of confusion about this so I spent this morning sorting it out. Here's what you have to do to be able to play properly in 1.7: - Install both games - Download the official patch and install it. Available here - Download the latest beta patch for ARMA: OA from here (the one at the top in the green bar) - Extract that patch and run it. - Download DayZ from here. You need to download all of the 1.6 files and extract them then download the 1.7 file and extract it. (DayZ should be extracted "Your ARMA 2 install location/@DayZ/addons/") - To run the beta you have to either explore to your ARMA 2 install and modify the "Launch ARMA 2 Beta Patch" shortcut so that it has "-mod=@dayz -nosplash" after the target or add teh following to your stadard CO/AO shortcut: "-beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -mod=@dayz -nosplash" Either way you should end up with a launch parameter that looks like this: "DRIVE:\ install path for ARMA2\arma 2\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe" -beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -mod=@dayz -nosplash So for example mine is: "C:\games\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe" -beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -mod=@dayz -nosplash ADDENDUM: To get the BETA ARMA patch workign along with 1.7 on STEAM you need to look here. Its a little more complex and involves editing one of STEAM's files but its manageable. |
