    Yea, Six Launcher SHOULD update both your beta patch and dayz, but I've read about many instances where Six Launcher doesn't work for some reason.

    When you don't use SixLauncher you need to do a few extra things manually to make it all work though. Now this is how you would get it to work properly without sixlauncher:

    - Install latest Beta

    - Install DayZ

    - You need top copy/cut the Addons folder from your Arma 2 folder to your Arma 2 OA folder.

    - You need to copy Arma 2 OA/Expansion/beta/arma2oa.exe into your Arma 2 OA folder (replace the old file or rename the old file)

    STEAM VERSION ONLY:

    - Go to your steam library and rightclick Arma 2 OA, properties, edit launch settings, and put this in there: -beta=Expansion\beta;ca;Expansion\beta\Expansion -mod=@DayZ;ca

    - Run the game through steam and hopefully it'll work perfectly now. :P

    NONE STEAM VERSION ONLY:

    - Then you need to make a shortcut to Arma 2 OA/arma2oa.exe

    - Then you need to open the properties of this shortcut, and add this parameter behind the "target" field: -beta=Expansion\beta;ca;Expansion\beta\Expansion -mod=@DayZ;ca

    - Run the game through the shortcut and it should work.

    I'm at work atm so I could be slightly off on some of the folder names, I did this by heart so. ;x

    I tried this solution posted by Hakultair, unfortunately it didn't work :(. I've undone these changes and back at square one :P

    Which version of the game did you purchase? STEAM or RETAIL or MIXED:

    • Steam

    *Are you running an Arma 2 OA beta patch? If so what version?:

    • Not sure about this one. I just downloaded the game through steam and am using Sixupdater

    *Which method are you using to launch the game? I.E Sixupdater/steam/batch file:

    • Sixupdater. I did try DayZ Commander, because Sixupdater didn't work previously but not improvement.

    *What is the Error/Problem you're having? Please provide screenshots if possible:

    • Tried taking screenshots but it's just taking them of my desktop. I'm getting 2 issues: Battleye: Client not Responding. If this isn't the issue and I manage to get past this then it is stuck on the loading screen

    *Your PC specs:

    • Intel® Core™2 Quad CPU Q8200 @ 2.33GHz
    • 8.00 GB DDR2 RAM
    • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti
    • Primary Hardisk: SSD 60GB, Secondary Hardisk: 500GB average thing

    *Your Operating System

    • Windows 7 Home Premium

    Some Extra Waffle (that I wrote before I found how to post a problem ^^ ):

    This problem has been posted a few times, but none of the solutions provided on those threads seem to have worked for me.

    I downloaded and installed sixlauncher and every time I would try to start Dayz, It would get stuck on a black screen with 'loading' across the centre. What I find strange is that I showed my friend how to install this and he's had no such problem! I'm using steam also.

    I've tried installed battleye manually and the beta patches manually, but that didn't worked. I re-downloaded both Arma II and Operation Arrowhead last night, but that doesn't seemed to have helped.

    Tried using DayZ Commander, but that didn't work either (althought I must say it seemed a lot smoother and responsive than Sixlauncher).

    Also looked through the sticky thread of troubleshooting but this problem isn't mention there (I think it should be since it seems common).

    Any suggestions would be much appreciated, I'll be watching this thread like a hawke. Thanks guys :)
