Play Steam version without starting Steam

[Play Steam version without starting Steam]

I use SpiritedMachine's Arma II launcher. It's a bit cleaner than six and will also launch Arma without steam loaded.

[What is the most stable Beta Patch?]

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.
