Hello there... please help me. For the last two hours, I tried everything to get on servers. I couldn't. As the topic title says: I downloaded the 103718 beta thingy (which all the servers want) and used the .exe file to patch - but the game still tells me "You're shit out of luck, you have 1.62.0.103419!". Could somebody please tell me what I am supposed to do? Because I seriously don't know. Tried this "Force enable beta patch" (which was checked anyway), used the 103718 patch... nothing helps. Hope you guys have an answer. I really want to play this game again. Greets, Anvanaar

Hello. Well, the server isn't mine and I don't know if it's a usual thing for hackers to do, but the Server DE 853 spawns you in and endless nothingness with nothing more than grassy hills. I don't live long enough to really look around, though I saw a Bandit shooting me - I reeeaaally don't know why I think it was him, y'know. >.> I could try to reconnect to that server, but seriously... I want to have fun with the game... I post this so other people may see it and be aware. Or so someone might try to bring more evidence for what is going on there. Though maybe I will try to identify the hacker and take screenshots in a few minutes... dunno. Maybe. Just thought people should know, and maybe there is someone willing to take the time to clear this up. Greets, Anvanaar EDIT: DUH! I took a screenshot... had him nicely in the middle of the screen with his nickname and all - a bandit called Storm. But of course the only thing that was recorded was the desktop behind the game. Yay. so I have no proof. But maybe someone will know what to do with the information... server DE 853, hacker seems to be Storm (kills everyone else and has awesome equipment, I mean like - really awesome), hack consists of everyone being transported to some kind of endless debug area where he murders everyone.

Duh... it's kinda one of my favourite servers. Hope it gets back on track soon. Then I apologize for blaming the user Storm. I am not experienced with that hacking stuff and all, and I always expect the worst from people when it comes to things like that. ^^ Greets, Anvanaar

Wow - I really have to thank you for your tip. This program is sooo comfortable! Want another ArmA version? BAM, done. Another DayZ version? BAM, done. Wanna try out another DayZ Mod? BAM, done. And I don't even have to open my browser and look up updates myself for any of this - something SIX doesn't even come close to offer the user. All in all DayZCommander ist just so comfortable and user-friendly, it practically takes away every problem someone could have installing DayZ... simply because it does it on itself. Short: Thanks for the tip! The game runs just fine now, no problems at all - - I even found out my old character is still alive and will, just needed a Painkiller and he was good to go! :D A nice way to start back into this game, finally gotta do that Cherno trip I cancelled just before reaching the city back then. Ah, I talk too much - anyway... thank you very much! Problem absolutely solved! :D Greets, Anvanaar

I know what I will try next. I will deinstall SIX, the ArmA games and DayZ completely - then I will reinstall ArmA II and ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead freshly, but this time into the "C:\Program Files (x86)\". And I will use DayZCommander - heard good things about it so far, and it seems to work for you, so I guess it will work for me. Is there any advice on DayZCommander you think I propably need to get around encountering the same problem? Greets, Anvanaar

I use the SIX thingy... I start from there by directly selecting the server - just as I always did... didn't play in a while, updated game and mod and doesn't work anymore :/

I have the non-steam version of this game - bought the Anniversary Edition in a normal store. With paper money and stuff. :3 But - yes, I did delete the beta folder and reinstalled 103718, didn't work, deleted again, installed the newest, doesn't work. So... yeah. That doesn't solve it. :/ Any other suggestions? Oh, and to say it sooner rather than later: I install games to C:\Users\Public because of all the admin shit on Windows 7. Could that be the problem? Would that make sense? Greets, Anvanaar
