Try this

Download the arma 2 beta and try that

The bug is in 1.7.0 as well, but no you aren't forced to update

Are you positive you're starting the beta though

Admins can't delete tents or vehicles anyway they are tied to the database, it happens to all servers sometimes they don't load on the first boot.

Did you install the arma 2 beta patch?

You're best waiting for someone who has the Free version to reply

The beta removes side chat to make it more realistic you can only talk to those around you with direct chat

Are you sure you're joining servers with the latest beta?

I think if you run it on very high, they look normal from what i've seen

There's no side chat because you're running the beta, and if you try and run through steam it's not using the updated beta file

Lots of people have problems with six updater, i can't offer you any help if it isn't working while you're using six updater

Please go to the ARMA 2 operation arrow head folder and find arma2oa.exe right click it and press properties go to the details tab and look at the Product version, type the number here

If you purchased the game through steam forget about six updater and follow this http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=13684

Did you change the launch options to make the game run the beta and not the default AO exe

No problem

The invisible problem is because you're not running the beta

What's the launch option for your game and have you set your HRD quality to very high?

Did you verify again?

Try doing it manually? takes about 2 minutes

Not sure if you can, but you can just go the where the arma2oa.exe is and right click it then go to the details tab and look at the product version, should be like 1.60.93825

I get failed to validate one file every time as well even though my game works fine, have you tried deleting air.pbo?

Try right clicking ARMA 2 OA in steam and going to Properties > Local Files > Verify game cache and then try running it

5/10 for a mod that's in alpha is very good
