keep getting errors that dayz needs animation files on startup

when it goes into game it quits and then says it can not find chernaus

unfortunately i enabled dayz in the operation arrowhead game and now i can not start that game either

I would just uninstall everything - including ARMA 2 and ARMA 2: OA - get rid of DayZ, then start from a fresh slate using DayZCommander. That program works really well for updating and maintaining your DayZ installation.

This. DayZ is best handled through a third party tool such as DayZ commander or sixlauncher (if it still exists).
