ARMA 2 DAYZ NOT WORKING

[Davie]

When trying to join a server I get an error with lots of Program Files saying, Files "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common/Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\@dayz\addons\community_crossbow.pho", "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common/Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\@dayz\addons\dayz.pho", "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common/Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\@dayz\addons\dayz_anim.pho", "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common/Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\@dayz\addons\dayz_code.pho", "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common/Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\@dayz\addons\dayz_communityassets.pho", "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common/Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\@dayz\addons\dayz_equip.pho",... are not signed by a key accepted by this server. To play on this server, remove listed files or install additional accepted keys. i don't know if I should delete these files or what because I can not play DayZ at all

Solution

I re-installed DayZ and made sure the server I was joining say it was hosted for DayZ, instead of DayZ Epoch, I am not sure weather or not that makes a difference though.
Hope I helped!

I too am getting this error, I believe it wants us to enter the codes given to the required games, but I am not sure where. I've heard something about DayZ commander but no idea how that will help. (Don't share your CD codes with anybody)

FoRCe- *ANIBA you need to right click on your Arma II OA in steam and goto properties.

Click on the Betas tab and select Beta. Click Close.

Next goto your arma II installation folder eg C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead and delete all of the executables (.exe).

Finally, right click on your Arma II OA in steam again and go back to properties. Click on the Local Files tab and click verify integrity of game cache. This will download the latest version of the exe's you deleted earlier.

That will get you going with vanilla DayZ. To get Epoch running I suggest using DayZ Commander still - even though it is broken. It works fine unless you favorite a server so. Use DayZ Commander to install epoch 1.0.5.1 then come play with us at 4-20th.com :)

You are welcome to come play with us!

Our new DayZ Epoch servers are looking for new players. New recruits receive free starter gear and groups can receive more! Including base building materials and custom buildings. We currently have a few active groups on the server looking for new players who are hot in PVP. Very active and friendly admin. You won't find another server like 4-20th Gaming :)

Or you can add me on steam for information / help installing Epoch or the Taviana map :)

Here is a taste of the many mods we run on our servers:
- Custom and frequently updated AntiHack
- Anti Duping
- Take Clothes
- Self Bloodbag
- Vehicle Towing (Unlocked Vehicles Only)
- Auto Repair / ReArm / Refuel at Fuel Stations
- Evac Heli's
- Trader Safe Zones
- Clothing Traders
- Deploy Bikes and Mozzies from Toolbox
- Over 20 challenging custom AI missions
- Random Helicopter and Plane crashes for high value loot
- Snap building Pro for better base building
And many many more..

We backup our databases regularly so if the server is hacked we can easily roll back. We have awesome active admins that are friendly, and do not actually play the game, just monitor players and assist where neccessary ingame. You won't ever get killed by an admin.

We also run events like our popular Top Gun event at the NWAF, spawning in jets for werapons free aerial combat.

I look forward to seeing you online!
