Hmm generally, me and my friends who play this have quite a lot of problems, one of my friends for example can only join servers with a few people on.. firstly, have you gone through the video guide on how to install it?

i know how to install, but it all comes down to trying to join a server, is there some sort of way to make it work properly? or something, right now im reinstalling ARMA2, after that i will install DAY Z, yes?

Well I know there's a problem that after you install you gotta Launch Arma 2 then close it and launch arma 2 arrowhead as CO first otherwise Arma 2 Arrowhead won't have a key.

you guys are aware it's an ALPHA, right? Not even a beta. You know what that means? Play at own risk.

1st install game from here

Code: Select All

http://tehparadox.com/forum/f43/arma-ii-combined-operations-full-100-extra-missions-4161866/

or here

Code: Select All

http://skidrowcrack.com/?s=arma&x=0&y=0

(JF links)

2nd apply update 1.60 included in download (don't use the crack)

3rd apply Lan Beta patch found here

Code: Select All

http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php

4th Download latest copy of DayZ Mod folder found here

Code: Select All

http://www.dayzmod.com/downloads.php

and copy @dayZ folder to your Arma II folder

5th after installing Lan beta there should be a new folder in the Expansion folder named Beta with the cracked files, leave them there but make a short cut of the Arma2oa.exe and send it to desktop.

6th right click the new arma2oa.exe shortcut on your desktop and go to the short cuts tab, where it says target you need to put this (if your 64bit windows 7 like me anyway and if its on C: lol) exactly as written (including spaces in the right place :P)... "C:\Program Files (x86)\ArmA 2\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe" -beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -mod=@DayZ -nosplash

7th just under that where it says start in, make sure it points to the original exe file, like this...."C:\Program Files (x86)\ArmA 2\"

8th there is a key gen in the #jimbo folder, run it (make sure to select armaoa from the dropdown menu) then cut the key ready for pasting.

9th there is a file in the Arma2 folder called options.bat, open it press 1 for english then just paste the key that was generated (making sure to remove spaces first) and press enter.

that should be it, launch tunngle, find the network, join it, then start the game.

have fun hope it helped and/or works for you :P

jcraigt · 06-27-12 at 04:44 PM

there's also a folder in the #jimbo folder called mini image, if you use vitualCD to mount it to a physical disk it tricks the game into thinking its a legit copy therefore bypassing the dreaded FADE :D

**kolewan** · 06-27-12 at 08:21 PM

Thank jcraigt, I was gonna post a more in-depth guide once I got home from work but I see you did it for me! :P Thanks!

thankyou very much for the detailed guide will try now! :D

i tried it but failed after launching game and trying multiplayer, it says invalid cd key...

from the key gen, using the long keys, with spaces (of course removed the spaces) and not the keys with - in between right?

just copying the key after 1 in options, doesnt do anything, sure it is not option 3? where you change/add keys?

I run tunggler, then joined the game, checked MP, joined a game, but invalid key...

what am i doing wrong?

Scrap that, figured my mistake, LAN through tunngle :) all good

GRSteelers · 07-30-12 at 11:46 PM

Guys, I can't patch my Jimbo install. I figured out how to do the keys and all of that, but then I decided I wanted to get the most recent version of DayZ instead of 1.6.0.1. I made sure the directories were to the specifications of a regular install, and the patches all say Operation Arrowhead is not installed on your computer or is corrupted.
And to do the keys, run option.cmd as admin and pick like key #4, worked for me.
