Nice one on the guide! As to 1.7.2.5 availability; dayz team still hasn't blessed the .5 update, but both the old and the new version are available since yesterday, in the evolved and much improved Play withSIX http://www.six-updater.net/2012/08/play-withsix-dayz-1725-prerelease.html Please don't spread base-less accusations. SIX updater nor launcher contain spyware.If you've received spyware, you didn't install our software, but a fraud. We are already in service to the ARMA community for over 3 years, research our credentials if you like.

Not yet it seems, but Play withSIX supports both the .5 and the .4 and sports a great many enhancements over SIX launcher.

what's the exact url? cheers

It's .NET WPF's web-browser component. We're experimenting with a WebKit (Safari/Chrome) based engine, hopefully available in the near future :) PwS offers it if you have "Update to PreRelease versions" enabled in the Game section options.Not sure where on our site it supposedly claims we have 1.7.3?

Play withSIX and the older tools can work side by side. To use Play withSIX, download and install from; http://play.withsix.com/

You can grab it already if you grab Play withSIX, the evolution of SIX Launcher and Updater :)

http://www.six-updat...prerelease.html Play withSIX DayZ 1.7.2.5 (PreRelease) support! We're currently still not authorized by DayZ team to push 1.7.2.5 en-mass, as such we've added multi-version support to Play withSIX. A new update for Play withSIX has been released that supports the DayZ v1.7.2.5 pre-release mod version! You can control which mod version to use in the Game section option "Update to PreRelease versions" (for now restart after changing). Currently there are no plans to add this support to SIX Launcher and Updater, as full focus is on Play withSIX which replaces SIX Launcher already, and will soon replace SIX updater also. Enjoy!

See the FAQ: http://www.six-updater.net/p/documentation.html "Performance and Graphics related utilities e.g some Radeon utilities, Gamebooster, old TS3 Overlay plugins, etc, can cause the software to render improperly, e.g unable to use Checkboxes, black stripes / backgrounds etc.Upgrade or disable these software, or google for enabling "WPF Software rendering" You can also try upgrading your graphics drivers, and other windows updates."

Gamespy appears to be having maintenance, see blog entry @ http://www.six-updater.net/

In the mean time... on Twitter, Facebook and Google+ "Stay tuned for our reveal around midnight, details about our forthcoming update."...

In the mean time... on Twitter, Facebook and Google+ "New name, new design, new release"...

In the mean time... on Twitter, Facebook and Google+ "I can feel it coming in the air tonight."...

Betas are also mainted by the SIX Launcher and Updater, no need to download/install them manually unless you wish to downgrade.

Thanks, will be much improved in upcoming SL v2 :)But the pings should work fine in the current release as well, could you please create a ticket with the log files, then we can get right on it; http://www.six-updater.net/p/support.html In any case, it should take 30-60 seconds currently, need to make sure the following Options: * Determine server pings - Enabled * Only rely on server list provided by the SU portal - Disabled

Latest Beta deployed in SIX Launcher and Updater

Both take care of the Beta, SIX Launcher and Updater.

NP ;-) Sure, we're working hard on SIX Launcher v2, Beta to be released hopefully coming days. We're looking into the Server times yes, as they are in the server name, but accuracy depends on the server admins, no technical way to deal with it currently.

ca_dubbing etc sounds like ARMA2 game not loaded/found, not installed, or not up2date.

Sorry, that's probably me fixing and improving issues as they come in. Should be done now ;)Glad to read things turned out well.

Wait for host iirc is dayz/server issue, or perhaps incompatible game version, did you check the server ran the same version? Pings should appear within 30-60 sec, improved in SLv2. If they don't appear at all, double check you didn't enable the option "Rely only on Server list provided by SU Portal". Otherwise it might indicate issues with the internet connection, router/modem, etc. A ticket with the log files could help find what's up; http://www.six-updater.net/p/support.html

New beta is available with fixes for the name, just a matter of BattlEye support and DayZ sign-off.
