Im new to all this stuff , like fresh off the truck kinda new . I have no idea what to do with this or how to implement it . In the directions stem 2 says Launch DayZLauncher.UnixPatcher with full DayZ installation path as argument (eg. ./DayZLauncher.UnixPatcher "/primary/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/DayZ/") ... how do i launch it ? like what steps do i take what do i use . Sorry im just so new to all this i fell a little dumb lol

  1. Select DayZ in Steam and right-click it
  2. Hover Properties, then click Browse Local Files
  3. A file browser should open with game's install directory
  4. Copy the path of this directory (for example: /home/deck/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/DayZ/)
  5. Download the UnixPatcher and extract the downloaded archive, it will contain a folder, open it
  6. Make DayZLauncher.UnixPatcher file executable by running chmod +x ./DayZLauncher.UnixPatcher from terminal inside this folder, or by using your file manager's options (something like: right click the file, click properties, check "allow running as executable" )
  7. Launch DayZLauncher.UnixPatcher, it will ask for DayZ installation directory
  8. Copy or type exactly the path you had in step 4

On step 6 when i run chmod +x ./DayZLauncher.UnixPatcher from terminal i get this .....(deck@steamdeck DayZLauncher-UnixPatcher-main)$ chmod +x ./DayZLauncher.UnixPatcher chmod: cannot access './DayZLauncher.UnixPatcher': No such file or directory. after I downloaded and extracted the file there isnt anything named DayZLauncher.UnixPatcher inside 364070638_196890666514370_5923858797746789257_n
