DayZ Epoch: how to install mod?

Modifications for computer games to date are very common, as they give gamers the opportunity to seriously expand the functionality of a particular project, change the storyline and much more. That's why the fashion DayZ Epoch enjoys such a huge popularity among the fans of the multiplayer shooter Arma. With it, you can add to the game elements of the zombie apocalypse. However, this is not so simple - this mod should still be able to install and configure, and without good instructions you may have some problems. This article is designed so that everyone can get a modification of DayZ Epoch. How to install this mod correctly? Now you will learn more about this process in detail.

Base game

First of all, it should be noted that you will need the base game Arma 2, if you want to add to it the addition of DayZ Epoch. How to install the game itself? This question is the simplest of all to come. If you use "Steam", then there should be no problems at all, since after the purchase the game will be immediately available for download and installation. If you play the pirated version, then you will have to tinker much longer. The fact is that this is a multiplayer shooter, and pirate gives you access only to a single game. Accordingly, you will need to search for the necessary cracks that will allow you to play over the network, or you can use third-party software that can emulate a network connection or bypass protection in other ways. In any case, we are not talking about this now. When you have a ready-made game client with access to the network on your computer, you can go directly to the DayZ Epoch mode. How do I install it on your computer? Unlike more simple modifications, here it is necessary to try a little.

Fashion DayZ Epoch

First of all, it is worth noting that you need to download the game files yourself, the fashion DayZ Epoch. How to install them? This issue will be considered a little later, for now you need to understand what exactly you need to download. Most often you can easily find this modification on torrents, that is, there should not be any special problems with downloading. However, at the same time, pay attention to the fact that this is still a pirate, so that you can have some difficulties. To avoid this, always download the most popular version. It is desirable that there was a detailed instruction on what you need to do to successfully get the mod. After all, sometimes it's not enough just to download it. It's also worth noting that in the case of DayZ Epoch, servers can support different versions of the modification, so you better get several options at once, if you do not already know exactly where you will be playing.

Installing the mod

The DayZ Epoch servers are very common now, so from now on the process will be much easier. If you are talking about the installation of the modification, then everything is quite simple: you need to unzip the contents of the mod in the right folder, that is the most difficult task in this case - to find the desired directory. As you well understand, this can be done quite quickly, if you know what exactly you need to look for. But even if you do not know this, everything will be pretty obvious, because the folder is called exactly the same as the modification itself, only in this case the lower underscore is placed between the two words, and before the mod name is the "doggie" badge. It is in this folder that you need to copy all the files that you received. There you will also need to put scripts for DayZ Epoch, if you want to use them and further improve the performance of your game.

Starting the game

Everything is much simpler if you have a licensed version of the Arma game, to which you will install a modification of DayZ Epoch. Piratka can force you to play with the game for much longer. But it is worth noting that the process in any case will be approximately the same. You need to create a shortcut on the desktop, since you will need to register additional properties, which can not be done with the game file itself, through which you will run the project. You will need two commands, but you can use more if you want to optimize game performance and add more advanced features. So, the first command is world = Empty, which specifies that the world will be created empty. This is necessary in order for your mod to start. The second command is mod = @ DayZ_Epoch, which tells the game itself that it needs to load the mod from the folder into which you installed it. After that, you can safely run Arma through this shortcut, and then you will fall into a completely different game world.

Settings in the game

All you need to do in the game is create a new game profile and connect to the DayZ Epoch server. Just do not rush into the connection, because before that the game should automatically update the anti-cheat, so launching it immediately will be impossible - you will have to wait two or three minutes.
