You will have a hard job creating a DayZ server. The mod files are not the same as those used on servers and a server also needs to be running an SQL database - which is not a trivial thing to set up. So I don't think you're going to get it running.<br /><br />On the other hand, a few people and I created a single player version of the DayZ mod some time ago. It does everything you want and even has AI units in it to replace players, so it's even better than being on a server on your own.<br /><br />Download this file:<br />https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-AjkiwQjJ9QNEdXWExJSVdmR1k<br /><br />Open DaiZy.rar. There are three things inside<br />@DaiZy (a folder)<br />Missions (a folder)<br />Launch options.txt (a text file)<br />Extract @DaiZy and Missions to your ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead folder (over-write anything it asks you about)<br />Open the text file<br /><br />If you are using Steam:<br />1. Go to your Steam library<br />2. Find Operation Arrowhead and right click on it, selecting Properties<br />3. In the box that opens, on the 'General' tab (the first one by default) look for the button marked 'Launch options' and click it<br />4. In the box that appears, paste the line from the text file<br />5. OK everything<br />6. Launch the game from your Steam library<br /><br />If you're not using Steam<br />1. Go to your Operation Arrowhead folder<br />2. Find the game exe (arma2oa.exe if I remember correctly)<br />3. Right click it and select 'Create shortcut'<br />4. Right click the shortcut you've just created and select 'Properties'<br />5. Look for the 'Target' line. At the end of it (make sure it's the end) paste the line from the text file<br />6. OK everything<br />7. Run the game by double-clicking the shortcut (which you can move to any folder or even the desktop)kodabarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12012946263315748858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8406877560061160385.post-75211155757642046192020-02-20T18:01:44.713+00:002020-02-20T18:01:44.713+00:00I got Dayz version 1.7.4.4.1 something else.

While I also want to install a beta patch it says that it can't locate the Arma II OA folder nor it's installed on principal hard drive on program files x86. It also registered on my registry on Hkey local machine. I also noticed that a beta patch was already installed, there is a shortcut of the beta patch Arma II OA and it works too.GTA_GamerZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10032505728179120939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8406877560061160385.post-37584631788196488492020-02-20T17:47:52.967+00:002020-02-20T17:47:52.967+00:00Please man, I need your help.

The problem is at DayZ level. First there are no server available, so I want to create my own server to play alone, but while I create a new one, I got a loading screen which never ends. It stuck on loading screen and nothing more. Please I need your knowledge about the problem. I only want to play DayZ alone.GTA_GamerZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10032505728179120939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8406877560061160385.post-88696561872754721032017-11-14T09:38:01.906+00:002017-11-14T09:38:01.906+00:00Here you go.

When we made this, we made it to be as compatible as possible for as long as possible (previous attempts required an update every time DayZ was updated). But for some features, such as base-building, we couldn't anticipate them so they don't work.<br /><br />In short, it still works and every feature that matters works just fine. But a couple of minor ones don't.kodabarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12012946263315748858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8406877560061160385.post-60063798511433967472015-10-18T06:04:50.729+01:002015-10-18T06:04:50.729+01:00Heya i Know its a bit outdated but does it work wi...Heya i Know its a bit outdated but does it work with 1.8.6 from steam or musst i download extern 1.8.1?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13853331146812524581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8406877560061160385.post-79301661708379387522014-08-21T06:39:14.244+01:002014-08-21T06:39:14.244+01:00Well the first thing that has me perplexed is that...Well the first thing that has me perplexed is that you were able to get hold of ArmA 2 Free. It's been discontinued and they're no longer... ah, you've just covered that point in a comment you've just left. Forget that.<br /><br />You need to run ArmA 2 for it to register various things like the CD key and game directories. Give that a go.<br /><br />Otherwise, you don't even really need ArmA 2 installed. What you need is the "Addons" folder from ArmA 2. Go into your ArmA 2 program folder. Find the "Addons" folder and right click and 'copy' it. Go into your Operation Arrowhead program folder and paste that Addons folder into there.<br /><br />ArmA 2 is needed because it contains the Chernarus land files. But they're all in that Addons folder, so that's really all you need.<br /><br />I've just fired up an installation of ArmA 2 Free and Operation Arrowhead and was able to join servers just fine. So this does still work.<br /><br />If you do get completely stuck, drop me an email (kodabarATgmailDOTcom) and I'll send you a set of files that definitely works.kodabarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12012946263315748858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8406877560061160385.post-54154767183941313982014-08-21T06:30:45.198+01:002014-08-21T06:30:45.198+01:00This doesn't work anymore, you can't use t...This doesn't work anymore, you can't use the Arma 2 Free/ Arma 2 Arrowhead combo.<br /><br />I did everything you said, twice. Ran it via steam and via Dayz Commander. None of the servers load and it swears that it can't find one of my game directories. <br /><br />So that leaves me saving up for the standalone, as I don't care for the Arma 2 singleplayer.

In the box that appears, click the tab on the top marked "Local Files"<br />4.

Hopefully it'll find a problem with more than one file.<br /><br />Let me know how you get on. Hopefully this will sort it.

I'll do that over the weekend.<br /><br />The problem with providing links to ArmA 2 Free is that you also need to generate a CD key which is no longer possible. So no luck there.<br /><br />The best you can do is to buy ArmA 2 and the current 75% off discount that Bohemia are offering. If you can't afford that, send me an email (kodabarATgmailDOTcom) and I'll see what I can do to help you out.kodabarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12012946263315748858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8406877560061160385.post-14032718876451420952014-04-25T12:34:17.358+01:002014-04-25T12:34:17.358+01:00arma 2:free has been discontinued since 22nd April...arma 2:free has been discontinued since 22nd April<br />Bought operation arrowhead just now, and i wonder, can i play DayZ on a discontinued arma2:free?<br />If so, can i get a download link/update, since arma2:free official site has been shut down<PRFyotam>https://www.blogger.com/profile/06621610919416975377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8406877560061160385.post-73126474858818932592014-03-03T03:53:41.251+00:002014-03-03T03:53:41.251+00:00thanks for this article, ill be grabbing operation...thanks for this article, ill be grabbing operation arrowhead tomorrow as my arma 2 free dl just finished<br />really excited to play, keep your eyes out for anyone with D2M in their name. don't worry I wont shoot haha<br />regards<br />d2m tagzAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8406877560061160385.post-91163991448274218542013-12-30T17:41:35.946+00:002013-12-30T17:41:35.946+00:00Yep, that's a good tip.

You can also add the ArmA 2 path as a mod in the shortcut<br />-mod=%_ARMA2PATH%<br /><br />And you can also use the mklink /d command in the command line to create a symbolic link between folders without taking up any disk space.<br /><br />I just tell people to copy the addons folder because it's easy for them to understand. Technically, you don't even need ArmA 2 installed, you just need its Addons folder (which is what I've done for myself)kodabarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12012946263315748858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8406877560061160385.post-66524582188480359312013-12-30T17:36:59.847+00:002013-12-30T17:36:59.847+00:00Edit: It's Settings, not Installl/UpdateEdit: It's Settings, not Installl/UpdateJackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11690457084955116782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8406877560061160385.post-65122315148799457722013-12-30T17:29:31.785+00:002013-12-30T17:29:31.785+00:00Hey Kodabar, I think I figured out a way to instal...Hey Kodabar, I think I figured out a way to install without copying the Addons folder from ArmA II Free. First you copy the directory address of your ArmA II Free. Then you go in to Commander, click Install/Update, scroll down to ArmA II Game Directory, check the Override box, and paste the directory address. You've successfully tricked Commander into thinking ArmA II Free was full ArmA II. BTW I'm superblox02 from the forum.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11690457084955116782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8406877560061160385.post-1311601385293089362013-12-29T18:10:24.728+00:002013-12-29T18:10:24.728+00:00THanks for the tutorial :P Had some trouble instal...THanks for the tutorial :P Had some trouble installing..<br /><br />Good luckJohnhttp://dayzstandalonekey.tk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8406877560061160385.post-89602268998980690862013-12-18T01:10:13.987+00:002013-12-18T01:10:13.987+00:00Hello there,
