Talk:How to install DayZ/History

Should we update this page with the information from this post: ? It includes all methods of downloading and installing DayZ for both Retail and Steam. --Grezvany13 09:06, 14 May 2012 (MDT)


 * Yes good idea - I'll look into that right away - Nice that they even link to this wiki in the post ,) - SEI 09:23, 14 May 2012 (MDT)

ARMA2-FREE + OA
We need information about ARMA2-FREE + OA - Is it possible... and how? - sEi (Talk) 01:01, 18 May 2012 (MDT)
 * Have inserted nonconfirmed info - sEi (Talk) 01:28, 18 May 2012 (MDT)
 * The current descibed method doesn't work (tested it with a friend), especially not with the Steam version.
 * However, at the BI wiki there's a method described to get Combined Operations Lite (A2:Free + A2:AO):
 * I'm not sure if DayZ will work this way, so hopefully some people can test and confirm --Grezvany13 02:05, 18 May 2012 (MDT)


 * Added the info to the page - Hopefully someone will test it and report back - sEi (Talk) 11:22, 19 May 2012 (MDT)
 * Tested with the described method, and it works. Works with 1.7.0 and the latest arma2 beta-patch. This was with the steamversion. Only tried launching with the Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead shortcut though, not launched through steam.
 * I added the howto for installing ARMA2:CO Lite. Please note that it's not possible to run ARMA2 from steam while using this method, since you'll need a custom shortcut. - Grezvany13 04:36, 30 May 2012 (MDT)

beta patch
Not sure if the current statement is correct, since I use the beta patch + the latest version of DayZ (1.5.8.2) without any problems... Unless a new beta patch was released today - Grezvany13 08:03, 23 May 2012 (MDT)
 * I tried ARMA2_OA_Build_93040 and got "Wrong Game Version" from Battle Eye. Other players had same trouble (dayz chat) - Now i have: ARMA2_OA_Build_93030 and it works! - So my guess is that 30 is ok and 40 breaks it! - sEi (Talk) 08:42, 23 May 2012 (MDT)
