OverPoch Install for newbies players

[Petite]

DayZ Overpoch, a mod adding many features of DayZ Overwatch to DayZ Epoch, has become very popular recently.   

But running a couple servers myself (DayZ Extermination), I can't help but notice the vast majority of attempts to connect to our Overpoch server end in failure (disconnect) not even time to get in the lobby and its like that for lots OverPoch servers.  

Its hard to know what's causing the issues. With the collapse of Gamespy (the company previously used to keep track of the servers) there were updates to Arma2 and Battleye. And the DayZ community its self seems to lack any real structure...consisting mainly of hard to search forum posts. With that in mind I thought it would be a good idea to add yet another post about connecting to overpoch.    

  

  

ARMA2 and its DLC: (you can usually skip this If you use dayz commander or dayz launcher)  

================  

First things first, you have to make sure Arma2 and its DLC (DownLoadable Content like Arma2:Operation Arrowhead...) are installed properly.  

Updates are now through steam. If you had a non-steam version, you may or may not be able to convert it. More on that here... http://dayzlauncher.com 

OR 

DayZ Commander from here http://www.dayzcommander.com (the REAL download link is at the bottom of the page)  

 

DayZ Launcher:(highly recommended much better and easy to use) Once you have DayZ Launcher installed, click MODS (top left). It will display a list of DayZ mods. Download Overwatch and Epoch. I'd suggest you verify the downloads.  

  

DayZ Commander: Once you have DayZ Commander installed, click INSTALL/UPDATE (top right) and Download Overwatch/Epoch from there. In the setting add that additional launch parameter  -mod=@DayZOverwatch  As with DayZ Launcher, I'd suggest you verify the files.
