STEAM FIX FOR DAYZ GAME CRASHES

Are you having random game crashes with this error message...

"Arma2OA Has Stopped Working"
"Windows is checking for a solution blah blah"

DO NOT LISTEN TO THE NONSENSE YOU FIND ON GOOGLE, IT WILL NOT WORK!
If you installed the game via Steam then this fix will work for you. (It MAY work for others too)

Providing you installed all your games via Steam and ran them first in the correct order skip past step 1.

STEP 1:

Install/Run

Arma2
Arma2OA
Arma2OA Beta
Arma - British Armed Forces (Optional)
Arma - Private Military Company (Optional)
Arma - DayZ Mod

STEP 2:

Download DayZ Commander from Http://www.DayZCommander.com/

STEP 3:

Go to the "Install/Update" tab and you will see that your DayZ Mod is corrupt. You will need to reinstall this via DayZ Commander. The latest version to date should be 1.8.0.3

STEP 4:

On the same tab ("Install/Update") you should also see just below the top where "DayZ Commander" and all its version information etc is. Just below that is your Arma (beta) version. What you want to do is reinstall it via DayZ Commander.

YOUR DONE!

As many of you know when downloading all the games from Steam they're not 100% playable. Many errors are caused and that is why people use DayZ Commander for example. When launching DayZ Commander after installing all your games it shows DayZ Mod as being corrupt. It also shows your Arma (beta) as being FINE but it is lieng. Steam obviously has a corrupted version of the beta and this has been tested on my machine and a few friends machines too.

GET BACK TO PLAYING DAYZ! HAVE FUN!
