Your issues might be that you're using a retail copy of ARMA 2 and Steam version of Arrowhead. Have you tried doing it all again from scratch but using the free ARMA 2 (Lite) on Steam?

I may be tempted to try. I'm not flying off in a rage as I know it's an alpha build and as such, hopelessly prone to problems.
Hmm, I've done my garden so I have another hour or two to waste....

I honestly think the issue lies with Steam.

Thanks for all the help but given my shitty download speed it takes several hours to download OA through steam and I figure I'll have to re-install it due to it numerous issues. I have uninstalled my retail Arma II and dl'ed the steam freebie but still all tits up.
The most recent is a bad CD key given at Set Up. I've ran steam in admin, to no avail, and when i try to use Six Updater to get latest file info, when i do try to install the files i get a new message saying OA doesn't exist or is corrupt. Very bored with entire process and am giving up. Good luck guys and have fun. I'll follow the thread for good news but until it hits beta standard I'm going to avoid the whole process as I've now wasted the best part of my weekend trying just to install it. I was warned not to even try. ![]() EDIT: FUCK IT!! Okay, I've uninstalled EVERYTHING related to Arma II and DayZ. Overnight I'll use Steam to reinstall both. Can someone verify these steps please: 1) Steam install Arma II Free 1a) Play - at least until menu screen. 2) Steam install Arma II OA 2a) Play Combined Ops- at least until menu screen. 3) Download Six Updater Suite. 4) Run Six Launcher - hit install box. That should be it?

How do you roll back a patch? I installed 94945, but it seems most servers are running 94876, so I can't join them.

I was trying to get you to answer my previous post.
I just tried to install the old patch right over the new one, so far no luck. EDIT For the love of Christ! I just made it into a server, but I spawned with a mysterious broken bone?!? I have morphine, but I don't want to waste it on a spawn glitch. I disconnected, hopefully it won't carry to another server?

I made it into another server, and the broken leg was gone, so I have high hopes.

Use the SixLauncher, not the SixUpdater to join games.

Got this today, now I'm going to play Farmer Simulator.
![]() Also killed my first player. I almost got 2, the first one Alt F4'd as he was gushing blood. 2nd one was i nthe tents are Stary, I shot him through the windows twice with my M4 then he said over the mic "Oh! I'm done, I'm done", I felt kinda bad after he said that, he wasn't dead yet, but he had to be at like 3 - 4k life and bleeding fast, so I put the last one in him. Apologies go out to Matt, we'll remember you.

Thanks for all the help guys!
![]() I've played my first game. Do you really start without ANY weapons? My first experience was walking toward a town and then being chased into the sea by Zombies. Hey, I didn't die.

As for making it work, installed the steam demo and OA from scratch, then used Six Launcher - piece of cake after all the hassle. Lesson for all, don't use retail version.

Also, never stand up and rarely run when you are in or around towns, you won't aggravate zombies as much. Double tap the shift so you have to hold it to run, the default is always run and hold to walk. That's no good. |

I didn't think you could mix and match the retail copy with the Steam copy. You could try activating your retail key on Steam and see if that allows you to acquire the files that way.
