Since Steam has taken over from Gamespy since their shutdown, there's been confusion and a difficulty with installing and playing Dayz. I hope this step by step will help you install, play and join us on the server.
What do I need to play this mod?- Steam
- Arma 2: Combined Operations (Arma II + Operation Arrowhead)
- (You need to purchase these, there is no cracked versions, as Steam will need to verify your install and verify your CD Key is valid)
- Run the game once before proceeding
- Internet Connection
- DayZ Mod Files (See below) or through DayZ COMMANDER (easiest way)
- Balls
Step 1: Download and Install Steam, Create account
Step 2: Purchase Arma 2 and Arma2 Operation Arrowhead through STEAM or by Retail CD
Step 3: Install game into your Steam Directory
(usually C:\Progam Files (x86)\Steam\Steam Apps\common\)
Step 4: Run both Arma2 and Arma2: Combined Operations once to complete installation.
Step 5: Download the latest version of DayZCommander from
http://www.dayzcommander.comIF YOU DON'T WANT TO RUN DAYZ THROUGH DAYZ COMMANDER YOU CAN INSTALL MANUALLY- Download DayZ Mod files: http://dayzmod.com/?Download
- Make a folder named "@DayZ" in your Arma2 Operation Arrowhead folder
- Inside "@DayZ" folder create another folder named "Addons".
- Unpack all DayZ Mod files in the "Addons" folder.
- Start the game as instructed
Step 6: Run DayZCommander and click the "versions" button from the top menu.
Step 7:Click "Install latest version" under Arma2 OA. Wait for the download and install to complete. (If this does not work please see Note1 at bottom)
Step 8: Click "Install v 1.8.2" under DayZ in MODS tab . Wait for the download and install to complete.
DO NOT DO LATEST UPDATE AS WE RUN V1.8.2
Step 9: Press "Done" to close the versions panel.
Step 10: Using Filter search for NRNS if not go to FAVOURITES and in the IP address in the upper left hand side put in 199.116.113.232 and port 2303
Note1: if you find that you can't verify or update your ARMA 2 OA to latest patch through DayZ commander- go to your STEAM menu
- Click on Games and select Games Library
- Right Click on Arma 2 and Arma 2 OA (one at a time)
- Select Properties
- Go to the Local Files tab and select Verify Integrity of Game Cache
- Steam will automatically verify and update your ARMA games.
Remember if you have any problems, you can always come grab me or any of the DAYZ Admins. Thanks and enjoy [/list]
