ASC_EU_LIGHTS Missing Please Help

[LeDoot]

I am trying to get DayZ mod for my friend to work but everytime he joins a server it goes to the player screen and he can log in, but when it starts loading, the bar gets stuck maybe 15/16 from the end. And it sits there until the game crashes and says something about "You cannot play/edit this mission, it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted: asc_eu_lights" and then another message comes up after that.

 

It's so annoying, and he had played the game twice but then it broke after 2 times of playing. I don't know what to do. The "missing" file is in the epoch folder.

 

Please help

 

Thanks in advance.

Verify the mod, if not, change the order of the launch parameters

it could be a few things so I will try to outline the most obvious first to try.  if you are playing "epoch" and not "overpoch" you need this in your launch parameters: -mod=@DayZ_Epoch; you can do this with Steam directly or use a program called DayZ Launcer (DZL).  DayZ Commander is now (sadly) dead. (If this is redundant info please excuse).

Steam instructions:

1) start Steam, go to your library. Right click on Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead. Select properties.  Select Launch Parameters. (see attached image)

I have a few other parameters in mine.  -world empty,(no previously buffered scenes). -skipintro -skipsplash (because seeing the B.I. intro over and over just grinds my gears) 

side note: when you add a -mod=  the @DayZ_Epoch refers to a folder inside the Arma2 OA folder. If the folder and the -mod=@.... doesn't match then it won't work.  if you have the proper -mod (dont forget the semi-colon) and your friend is still getting this error, I would remove the folder and re-download it from this website: Epoch Client Files

my attached image shows:  -mod@DayZ_Epoch1051;  which has a matching folder.

So if I am trying to play Overpoch, (Which we are) would the launch parameters be: -mod@DayZOverwatch; -mod@DayZ_Epoch1051;

 

Since it is OVER (Overwatch) POCH (Epoch) so it has to launch Overwatch first and then Epoch or what am I getting confused by?

[Just_R]

-mod=@DayZOverwatch;@DayZ_Epoch;   is what you need for overpoch for your launch parameters. ignore the 1051 at the end of my example (see below for explanation)

http://dayzoverwatch.com/download - where you can get overwatch in case you need it again.

===========================================================================

My example of @DayZ_Epoch1051 is only because I have my Epoch mod folder named this way. When you download the Epoch files from this site it comes as "@DayZ_Epoch".  

This is normal:

(below is the file you get from this site when you download client files)

 

(this is the folder you see when you open DayZ_Epoch_Client....7z)

The folder you just drag or copy or extract into your Arma 2 OA folder.  Same goes with the Overwatch folder. Both should be inside of Arma 2 OA.

Let me know how it goes.
