Key points
- DayZ is a modification for Arma 2 and requires its expansion Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead.
- DayZ Commander is highly recommended as the best one-stop program to install, update and browse DayZ servers - no other programs are required.
- DayZ is in early open alpha stage, and is very unfriendly to install and run for new users, while many bugs, gameplay problems and rampant cheating persist.[1]
General information
- Original guide located on the DayZ Wiki.
- DayZ Forum - official forum which the developer participates in and has the most active community.
- Steam Community Discussions

Essential improvements
- Manual installation of DayZ is relatively complex, with no official client or method of installing the mod easily.
- Successful installations will show that when Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead is run, the
@DayZ
text will appear on the right of the menu screen.
DayZ Commander
- Launcher, mod updater, server browser, and friends listing.
- Highly recommended as the best way to patch and launch the game, as well as the only program which lists friends.
- The only program that is required as long as your version of Arma 2: Combined Operations meets the requirements.
- Support for installing any patch version including the beta patch.

Issues fixed
General Issues
Graphical Glitches And Artifacts
- Several potential issues can cause large scale graphical glitches and missing textures.
Verify Integrity Or Change Graphics Settings[citation needed] |
---|
Steam version[citation needed] |
---|
|
Retail version[citation needed] |
---|
Alternatively, if this does not work or you are using the retail version of the game, attempt to lower or raise the in-game graphics settings. |
Microphone Skipping Issues
Install Beta[citation needed] |
---|
Installing the Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead beta may fix these problems. |
Game Lags Or Stutters Every Few Seconds
- This issue may be from having too many background programs running.
Disable Services[citation needed] |
---|
|
Error Messages
Installer unable to detect installation folder
- This error is most likely caused by incorrectly inputting the location of your Operation Arrowhead folder.[2]
Instructions[citation needed] |
---|
|
'Arma 2 has stopped working'
- Error message on startup.
Verify Your Game Cache[citation needed] |
---|
|
- If this doesn't work, you may alternatively:
Uninstall DayZ if the error persists[citation needed] |
---|
Try re-installing the most up-to-date version of DayZ. |
'Downloadable content that has been deleted.chernarus'
Other error messages:
- "Addon 'dayz_code' requires addon 'CABuildingParts'"
- "No entry 'bin\Config.bin/cfgVehicles/Citizen1.scope'"
- "You cannot play/edit this mission; it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted.chernarus"
Move Addons Folder[citation needed] |
---|
Move |
Constant 'Waiting for Server Response' Or 'Receiving Data'
- This issue is caused by large server load, and will resolve itself over time.
- If it does not resolve itself, attempt these fixes:
Reinstall[citation needed] |
---|
Steam[citation needed] |
---|
|
Retail[citation needed] |
---|
Alternatively:
If this also doesn't work, you can use this alternative:
|
'You cannot play/edit this mission ... .cherarus'
- Caused by attempting to connect to DayZ servers from within Operation Arrowhead, rather than launching the game as Combined Operations.
Restart Game In Combined Operations[citation needed] |
---|
'You cannot play/edit this mission ... .dayz_code, ...'
- This error will occur if the mod was installed incorrectly, or if the shortcut has the wrong appendage to the target line.
Target Line[citation needed] |
---|
Ensure that the target line ends in |
'missing CBA_Main'
- This error is generally harmless and should not impact the game itself. Simply click OK and play as normal.
'No Entry 'bin\config.bin\CfgVehicles\'
- This error is generally harmless and should not impact the game itself. Simply click OK and play as normal.
'Arma 2 is not installed on your computer or installation is corrupted'
- Caused by install folder being moved from original location, or exe file being renamed.
Regedit[citation needed] |
---|
|
'Bad serial number'
Verify Your Game Cache[citation needed] |
---|
|
Windows Vista Fix[citation needed] |
