My BattlEye wouldn't update, so I did it manually. Still getting kicked from every server. BattlEye initialized (v1.166) BattlEye client: server requiring client version 1.166. Up-to-date BattlEye client: server computed GUID: <GUID> You were kicked off the game. Everything is up-to-date. Tried running all games (incl. CO) through Steam and Six Launcher. I have tried joining multiple servers of every beta patch, still no luck. [EDIT] FIXED! Kick was caused by a faulty missions.pbo file. Validated both games through Steam. BattlEye rolled back to 1.164 and updated normally to 1.166 ingame.

Yes, I fixed it by validating both games through Steam. Reinstalling would probably also work.

My tents have despawned today, even after saving. Turns out it was a server/hive issue. Server restart fixed it.

Validate ARMA2 and OA through Steam.

I had to validate my ARMA2 files through Steam to fix this.

My friends say when I join a server and get kicked, this message is displayed: "Player <name>: Wrong signature for file [...]/arma2/addons/missions.pbo" Gonna validate the Arma2 files now. [EDIT] Alright, this apparently fixed it for me. BattlEye is rolled back to 1.164 and I can connect and join any server. Updated the original post. Thanks for the help, man! :)

It found 2 files that needed to be reaquired, I think they were the BattleEye .dll's. For some reason I am running 95248, I found out that my friends whose games are working are running 95389? Why isn't my SixLauncher updating?(this was caused by not having "Force enable Beta patch" checked in the SixLauncher options.) [EDIT] Huh... Launching through DayZCommander launches 95417. Either way it still doesn't work.

Hmm, doesn't work, gives me an error. Reinstalling through ARMA2 gives me a Steam error; "This game is currently unavailable. Please try again at another time." Reinstalling through OA gives two Windows dialog boxes saying "!!! MISSING STRING". I deleted every trace of BattlEye and reinstalled BattleEye through SixLauncher. Still no luck.

Yes.

Is it still down?

I'm trying to understand why anyone would want to disable direct communication. Does the direct communication feature put an extra strain on a server? IMO direct communication is a very important part of the game.

Direct communication, not global communication (or sidechat). Some servers actually disable direct comms. It should be mandatory on in this game.

Is direct comm enabled? Yes it is.

Just make sure you have a good system for appealing before you start handing out database bans...

Music/other sounds through direct comms is like a person blasting music from his cellphone on the bus/train... Maybe you haven't experienced it, or maybe you are one who enjoys doing that, but it's freaking annoying.

Some servers actually have direction communication disabled. It's freaking annoying. [edit] also, I just read your post fully and sorry, can't help. :(

He's kicking everyone who joins but his friends. These are the players not getting kicked in LU131: [PMR] sLk (admin) Chuck Istovik

You probably played a bugged server. Try again in 1.7.2.3 :)

<- title. If this is the case, can we please get an announcement? [edit] an announcement on the forums, not on IRC.

Mine and my friends chars were also reset.

DAMNIT. The update killed my char. :(

Antibiotics are rare, I've only seen it once. But yeah, they do spawn in the hospital boxes. :)

Also, as a tip, you should hit the glass to the far left or the far right in order to get in.
