so i just downloaded steam and just bought and installed DayZ. When i hit play it tells me that i have to accept battleye. So when i say yes to everything it just says battleye has failed. So i did some reading and watched some videos and everyone opens the "steamapps" folder and then clicks on common then arma 2 operation arrowhead. but under my common folders, the only folder i have is DayZ. so i do not know how to fix it, any tips will be appreciated

Give this a shot:

 

Make sure you are showing hidden files & folders (Control Panel > Folder options) as the Appdata folder will be Hidden by default.

First of all exit the DayZ client and Steam.
 

• STEP ONE: Delete Battleye Folder in Appdata
  
  Find the Battleye folder located in
  "C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\DayZ".
  Delete this Battleye folder and all it's content entirely.
  
  (To locate directory navigate through explorer or
  Press the WINDOWS KEY + E to open explorer > In the adress field write %localappdata%)
   
• STEP TWO: Download BEClient.dll
  
  Go to Battleye[www.battleye.com] and download the 32-bit BEClient.dll for DayZ.
  (Save it somewhere easily located, it will be used soon.)
   
• STEP THREE: Replace old BEClient with the new one
  
  Move or copy/paste the downloaded BEClient.dll to a folder named Battleye in the DayZ install directory (replace the already existing BEClient.dll).
  
  The DayZ install directory is by default located at:
  "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\DayZ"
  (this is NOT the same appdata DayZ/Battleye folder as the one we visited earlier)
  
  (To locate directory navigate through explorer or
  Right click DayZ in Steam > Properties > Local Files > Browse Local Files)
• STEP FOUR: Restart your computer
• STEP FIVE: Update Battleye
  
  IMPORTANT: Start Steam as administrator
  (right click Steam and choose Run as Administrator)
  
  Start DayZ and join a server, BattlEye should update correctly.

i followed all the steps but now when i press play for dayZ under steam a message pops up that says failed to start game (missing executable). I then followed the steps that steam told me to do and still didnt change anything
