I have an issue where my six launcher fails to update my dayZ game. The majority of servers on my list are highlighted orange (which has never happened to me before) with the rest of the greyed out. Everytime I select update it gets stuck on verifying as the % bar does not move at all in this time. After about 5 minutes of it sitting there doing nothing I receive an error saying 'unhandled exception during update exhausted all hosts', however I do get the option to join the orange highlighted servers despite despite not being up to date. Normally this is fine, as I don't mind waiting the extra couple of minutes to play this amazing game. But during peak times (for my region) joining servers at ~max population can be extremely tedious with the added waiting time. I had previously rolled back my beta patch from ARMA2_OA_Build_94945.zip to ARMA2_OA_Build_94876.zip and I'm thinking this could have been the problem. I'm not particularly keen on trying anything without consulting the forums, as I would hate to get the dreaded 'waiting on host' issue. At least with my current issue the game is still playable at this time (until the servers update further). Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I've been playing this game for a good week now, solo. I've been offered several times (in-game or by other means) to join groups but refuse to trust anybody that I don't know in real life. From my experience, it's neat at first and very fun. However the longer you survive and the better geared you become puts you in a constant state of paranoia - the fear of losing all your gear which I think is amplified because you have nobody to back you up, or help you. I've basically been shooting other players on site (within a range I believe is adequate to kill at without firing too many rounds off) or avoiding them completely. From all reports grouping up is a much funner option minus the trust issues if they aren't very close to you. Soloing is fun for a while, but once the paranoia starts to set in, it makes enjoying it much harder.
