ISSUE:
"wrong signature for file corepatch_a2.pbo"

This first issue can only be confirmed by another player (possibly just a staff only message in game) I can confirm that fix works.

ISSUE:
No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgWorlds/Chernarus.description'

This issue had just arisen tonight while at my brothers place using his guest PC to game. I can confirm this worked for me.

ISSUE:
"Addon 'sauerland' requires addon 'Chernarus"

Again, another issue that I had this evening, but again, with a little help from Fox_Mike, and some google searching, we found this fix. I can confirm this also worked for me.

I truly hope these help should you find yourself unfortunate enough to encounter them. Should you encounter something different, please. Send me a message, and I will add them to this thread. The more help we can offer each other, the better off we are as a community.

you can also connect without Dayz Launcher
dayz launchers site is sometimes down or cant find server lists.

use a windows batch file to connect to the server without ever starting the launcher
here is the code:

Code:

@echo off
:: Edit Both Directories To Match YOUR Installations::

:: Arma 2 OA Directory::
set arma2oapath=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead

:: Arma 2 Directory::
set arma2path=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 2


:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::!!!DON'T EDIT BEYOND THIS POINT!!!:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


set IP=162.251.166.179
set PORT=2400
set MODS=@DayZ_Epoch

start ""  "%arma2oapath%\ArmA2OA_BE.exe" 0 0 -mod=%MODS% -connect=%IP% -port=%PORT% "-mod=%arma2path%;expansion;" -noPause -noSplash -world=empty -noFilePatching -skipintro

:: start of command window pop up text ::
echo.
echo.
echo.   You are now connecting to Endless Gaming Dayz Server
echo.
echo.            _______________________________
echo.
echo.                ENDLESS GAMING EPOCH PVE
echo.            _______________________________
echo.
echo.          http://endlessgaming.forumotion.com/
echo.
echo.
:: end of command window pop up text ::

:: close command window timer ::
timeout /t 5 /nobreak

copy/paste this code into a text editor, notepad is fine.
you must save the file with a .bat file extension
example: EG server connect.bat

if you save this as a .txt file it will not work.you can still edit it as a .bat file
save it anywhere i just have it on desktop

Main thing to do after creating the file is you must make sure your file pathways are correct
edit the 2 lines to point to your correct steam folders. this example has the generic default steam pathway i took from an older file.
im not sure of the default steam path now

i use a different drive for steam so i had to change these lines

once this is set and correct it will connect you with no hassles

- it will open a command window so you know its running
- this will not make windows put a popup asking if you want it to run
- this will not open a steam window
- it will not run anything in the background, there is nothing to close

i think it connects a little faster but have not timed it

Top notch
