I've just recently downloaded Arma 2 complete collection, and the Day z mod. I'm trying to play via Dayz Commander. First impressions - 1) It seems extremely difficult to join servers, the majority seem to be on a different version of Day Z (i'm on 1.62 I think from memory). I've tried clicking on the download updates, but I still appear to be on the same version and most servers are on different versions 2) I understand you need to have Arma2 arrowhead running in the background, every time I try to log on to a server I keep getting a message to input a product key code when prompted, however the prompt is never there so I can't input the product key - 3) after narrowing search results down to servers on the same version of Dayz, it is still very difficult to join them, I keep getting error messages and 'cannot join wrong version' messages after trying to connect (possibly due to to 2) above??) I've managed to join one server in probably 100 attempts, I did manage to get about 30 mins of play time done but it was late at this point and i'd had enough of all the attempts to join a game so ended up going to bed. I'm putting it down to being a newbee, and not understanding exactly how all this works, so I'm not having a go at the game or the way the online is setup. Not sure if anyone can offer some advice, as I'd really like to be able to get enjoying this game. regards Jon
