    Easy:

    1) Get ARMA 2 Combined Operations (need to buy it, somewhere at 20$)
    2) Install ARMA 2 and run it once
    3) Install ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead and run it once
    4) Install DayZ commander (free)
    5) DayZ Commander: Download the DayZ mod 1.7.4.4 and some additional maps
    5) Get your ass on the MG Taviana server :)

    I can help you setup if you want :)

    I had the same problems, no need to be ashamed.

    I'll save my laughs for the server when we play together and slay some bandits :D

    HC suffered a trauma last time he killed someone on the game.

    I'm a noob at this game. When i double click on the server from Dayz Commander, it loads the game, says waiting for the host and goes to the main menu. When i click on the multiplayer, it shows all other servers again.

    I've downloaded sixupdater and it is installing some stuff so i'll see if that allows me to connect to the server. Is the server version/beta patch the latest?

    Edit: I think it's downloading the Taviana map. Zsoka, did you download this map?

    Edit2: When i try to join the server, it gives me a message saying that the server is running a different version of the mod and asks whether i wish to continue. When i try to join the server from the server list in-game, it says "you cannot play/edit this mission; it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted.tabi, kh_dayztaviana" .. Seems like i need to download the missing content but i'll try that tomorrow now.

    Edit3: @Marvel, okay downloading missing stuff from Dayz Commander.

    Don't use Six, it's evil. Just download Dayz Commander

    Click on install/update and you should have:

    - Arma 2 beta patch 100296
    - Dayz 1.7.4.4
    - Dayz Taviana 2.0.

    If you have all those and connect to the server you shouldn't have any issues :) But don't use Six it's so bad :P

    Thank God someone has the same problem like me. I thought I was stupid because I used a step by step instruction from youtube.

    Just download Dayz Commander, click on Install/Update tab on the top, install the latest version of Arma 2 and Dayz from the page and then scroll down to additional mods and download Dayz Taviana 2.0 version. Once all three are installed, you should be able to connect to the server.
