[rpg4e]

After the shutdown of GameSpy & therefore the Support of BattleEye you may 

have some errors like: Authentication failed, Battleye initialisation failed 
or ...files not signed, or else...

To play Again follow the next steps, they are testet with more then 10 Players on our DayZ Epoch Server.

Step 1: Make a backup of all of your Arma 2 & Arma 2 OA folders and delete them.

Step 2: In your Steam-Library uninstall all Arma 2 ( also OA & all DLCs & and beta obsolete )

Step 3: Delete the *.pbo - files in "C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\ArmA 2 OA\MPMissionsCache"

Step 4: Restart your PC !!!

Step 5: Copy back your ARMA 2 Backup where you wish to have it installed

Step 6: In your Steam-Library install ARMA 2 and after that check in updates to set to "High
Priority" and in Betas to set to "NONE" ! Then start ARMA 2 to Main Menu and exit the
game then.

Step 7: Copy back your ARMA 2 OA Backup where you wish to have it installed.
In your ARMA 2 OA folder cut off all folders with "@" at the beginning and put them just to another Folder
of your PC.

Step 8: In your Steam-Library install ARMA 2 OA and after that check in updates to set to 
"High Priority" and in Betas to set to "NONE" ! Then start ARMA 2 OA to Main Menu 
and exit the game then.

Step 9: if you got DLCs install them in the following Order, if not go to step 10:
1: Army of the Czech Republic ( from Properties - DLC ) -Start ARMA 2 OA to Main Menu and exit
2: British Armed Forces -Start ARMA 2 OA to Main Menu and exit
3: Private Military Company -Start ARMA 2 OA to Main Menu and exit

Step 10: Download and Install Arma 2 OA Beta (Obsolete) -Start it to Main Menu and exit

Step 11: go to http://www.battleye.com/download.html, download & install client & server files for Arma2 & Arma2 OA

Step 12: open "cmd" or "MS-Dos-Prompt" and put:

mklink "x:\yoursteamfolder\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Addons" "x:\yoursteamfolder\steamapps\common\arma 2\addons" /j [Press enter]

Step 13: In Step 7 you moved folder with "@" at the beginning, now move them back to your Arma 2 OA folder.
Start Arma 2 OA and go to expansions. check the boxes for your mods.

Step 14: like Step 13 just with Arma 2 OA Beta (Obsolete)

Step 15: restart your PC !!!!

Step 16: Start Arma 2 OA BETA (OBSOLETE) and go to MultiplayerLobby.
In the corner left there's a button to have to set to Steam ( not LAN or Internet )
Hit remote-button and set the IP & Port of the DayZ server ou want to play with.

Step 17: Start to play DayZ ( epoch, origins, blah blah blah ) and have fun again.
( Could be that you have to restart your PC once more if you got an error again, but
all players who used this are able to play ;) )

You can now use SixLauncher or DayZ-Launcher, they are similar to DayZCommander ( which is messed up ). Some Players who just want to play DayZ Epoch sometimes have to remove @Dayz-Folder with some server.

Enjoy and have fun :D
