    What makes you think this would have a virus and any of the other mirrors wouldn't?

    DayZ SVN

    Overv posted a topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion

    Introduction I'd like to present a new method for keeping your installation of DayZ up-to-date, which I think is much easier and faster than downloading the torrent, downloading the files manually or using Sixt. SVN is a version control system that is popular among coders to distribute the latest version of their software to users. While DayZ is not open-source, I think SVN is still an ideal candidate for usage here. It has previously proven its usefulness in distributing mods for another game (Garry's Mod). SVN will compare the files in your DayZ folder to the latest ones and update any if they differ from those on the server. The key difference here compared to Sixt is that it's very lightweight and easy to use. Updating with this method is as simple as right-clicking your DayZ folder and clicking Update! You don't have to wait for a resource hogging program to load, it all works pretty much instantaneously. Technical details The SVN repository is hosted on my own server located in Germany. It currently checks the Swedish mirror for new or changed files every 15 minutes and downloads them into the repository directly. Usage Just follow the instructions in the URL below to start using it. http://dayz.vertinode.nl/ If you need any help or like to share your opinions, please use this thread. I hope that if this method gets enough feedback, it can become one of the official update methods :D.

    For the 1.7.1 update I tried installing the latest beta patch (93825) but I ran into two problems: - The FTP site asks me for a username/password almost every time I try to download it, but I got it to work after spamming F5 for a while. - The installer appears to run fine but afterwards Windows asks me if the installer ran correctly. When I then start ARMA again, it tells me I have version 1.60.87580. Why is my ARMA not updating?
