    So you have @CBA and @DVD in your ‘Arma 2’ folder, have you put the ‘dvd’ ‘userconfig’ into your arma 2 ‘userconfigs’ ?

    If the answer is yes to all that then;

    When its running you should see a small window top right of the screen (unless you have turned it off), this will give you fps and vd readout.. if I remember rightly:)

    Still not seeing it, but i have everything in the right place.

    The instructions are only vague because they assume that if you are installing this mod, you actually know how to install and activate mods. You've already put CBA and DVD in the right place. You need to copy its config file your arma directory\userconfig\DVD\DVD.hpp . And lastly you need to actually activate the mods, look here for a great summary: http://www.armaholic.com/plug.php?e=faq&q=18

    I hope this helps, let me know if not.

    I have plenty of experience when it comes to modding, just not in this particular game. This is not a very easy game to mod (besides DayZ, i had no trouble). I have done all of that. It still does not work. To make the DayZ mod work i did not have to do any of that, just had to drag the @DayZ folder into the Arma 2 folder and add one word to my .exe properties and it works. Why does DVD require me to download another mod, and then to also move the .pbo files into the addons folder? And then after all that it still doesnt even work.

    Hi woody2

    I just realised that DVD also depends upon another mod called CBA (community base addons). You can download it here: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=6231&highlight=CBA

    DVD needs this addon in order to read its configuration files. Sorry, it's been so long since I released DVD that I'd forgotten about the requirement.

    I got the mod called CBA in the right folder, and i have DVD in the right folder... i still do not see a message pop up in game to tell me DVD is running. I feel like i might have done something wrong, but mainly because the instructions for this and the CBA mod are both very vague.

    This often happens when there are some leftovers from a previous installation of the game somewhere in the registery. If you have installed OA in the past make sure any old references are removed.

    Yes i have heard this. Unfortunately.... this is my first install of the game.

    Edit: Actually, there is a chance that one time i tried the Operation Arrowhead demo on steam. Could that cause the problem as well? If so, how exactly do i remove the old references. I am not very good with the registry.
