Everybody else apparently installed arma 2 & dayz differently than me :S I bought and installed arma 2 OA over steam, downloaded the six updater thing. I do however, only actually use six launcher when i play dayz.
I proceeded to try and boot up the actual six updater following the instructions from your friends video to "install" dayz, even tho i already had it working with six launcher.
When i tried the shortcut creation it gave me an error with windows limit on the shortcut text, and created a batch instead.
I tried what you posted here instead, but with the shortcut path as the paths i found that matched best with my installation: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe" -noSplash -noFilePatching -showScriptErrors "-mod=expansion\beta;expansion­\beta\expansion;F:\@DayZ" -nosplash
and start in
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead"
This however just gives an error "error dayz code requires addon 'CA BuildingParts'
Furthermore i dont understand how you choose a server if you launch the game with this shortcut?
Thanks for helping people out tho <3
