I use SpiritedMachine's Arma II launcher. It's a bit cleaner than six and will also launch Arma without steam loaded. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?89731-ArmA-2-Game-Launcher&highlight=launcher
The latest one doesn't really have problems *if* you get it working. It caused a bunch of problems for me at first. 1. Update beta through six --> start game 2. Battleeye failed to initialize --> update battleeye by downloading .dlls from battleeye site 3. Failed to init d3d9 device (wtf?) --> verify integrity of game cache. Download some file. 4. Battleeye failed to initialize again. (le sigh) --> delete @dayZ folder 5. Six updates itself --> redownload dayz 6. ???? 7. Beans! I think there was a slight problem where six hadn't updated itself yet to grab the latest battleeye.dll's for 95054+. It seems to be fixed now though. There's a few nice fixes for mp that are valuable in the long run (no more duping). 95099 only fixes a mistake with the ACR units that aren't available in dayz. But if you're into that sort of thing there's no harm in getting it.
Halp! I've fallen and I can't get up! I crawled through a doorway and somehow snapped my leg. Need help in Msta. My blood is around the 6k level and stable.
