Recently I purchased Arma 2 Combined Operations, And downloaded the Dayz Mod through steam, However, I can never seem to be able to join my friends Network, Both over LAN and Internet. Also, The game always says I have an invalid CD Key, Despite purchasing it. I seem to also have a problem when loading a server up, I the White bar gets to the end, yet the games just hangs there, I get no error Messages or anything. Any help is appreciated

If you're trying to use Steam to launch Dayz, that's likely your problem. Use DayZ Commander, instead.

Have you run Arma 2 and Arma 2 OA first before installing this mod?

Have you updated Arma 2 with Commander, or Six?

Steam's front end loader doesn't usually work because Steam doesn't update Arma 2 with the beta patches that DayZ relies on. You can install these beta patches through Commander or Six.

Or, just try this forum instead:

I do it manually and I never have a problem. I install every mod & launch from the Arma II Beta launcher. Place all your mods in the root folder of A2:OA.

Steamapps\common\ Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead.

Use the A2 beta launcher not DayZ. Go to expansions and enable the Dayz mod or Origins, whatever your playing. Just remember to only enable one mod at a time. Most important launch A2, A2:OA, and any DLC you have first. then play DayZ
