@Geniroh Yeet I already answered you on Steam, but I'll do a copy/paste here

 The error of not being able to play dayz is because you do not have ArmA2 standalone installed or maybe you deleted or the files were deleted in this case, the file "chernarus.pbo" which is the island of ArmA 2 standalone, you can solve it by reinstalling ArmA 2 Standalone or verifying the installation files.

Also depending on the version of Win11 you have, Battleye might not even work and the only solution is to go back to Win10 or an older version of Win11, since the latest version has many problems that have not yet been patched with some anticheats, such as Easy anticheat and Bettleye.

Another thing to consider is that when Combined Ops (which is both A2 and OA) is being installed, it has to be done a specific way, or A2 content doesn't get read.

 

1.  Run Steam as Administrator.
2.  Install Arma 2.
3.  Launch Arma 2  (important!).
4.  Exit Arma 2.
5.  Install OA.
6.  Launch OA.

 

People tend to skip steps 3 and 4.  They install A2 and install OA, then launch OA without having run Arma 2, and then missing content issues occur.  If OA is launched without A2 launched first, there's no Arma2 content because it never got configured.  And launching A2 after the fact doesn't help, because OA already configured itself without the A2 configuration.

 

Don't know if that's the issue, just considering.
