funny haha.

hello everyone, i could use some help, i really don't know what to try anymore. i'm lost between builds, patches, updates and downloads. this is ridiculous. i got the game on steam (arma2 and oa), installed dayz and played all right for a while on a version called 1715 93965. a week or so ago something changed online and messed it up: i could only get on 2 or 3 servers, all the others were marked with an x (1.62 was highlighted as the problem, even though above it, on the server screen it said that i also had the 1.62). anyway i ignored it, of course, as i could still play when i wanted, the servers were empty and i hate googling stuff like this. the thing is that today, steam updated my game with the 1.62 stuff, so i figured i will finally have more servers to play on. and so it was, with just one little problem. now there were just two 93965 and when i joined one, i was kicked for having the wrong battleeye version. i reinstalled it, it worked, and joined the server again. i woke up on the beach, lost all my stuff, but that's ok. the problem was that i had no sound and a small line of text in the middle of my screen: you have the wrong file, the server has another file so download it from dayzmod.com/downloads (which doesn't fucking exist by the way) ok, i said, probably the 93965 version is too old, lemme just get the new one. So i download 94876 which claims is the latest, install it, and boom, still not working. in the corner of my arma2 start screen i read 1.61.94876 and the multiplayer screen tells me i can update to the 1.62 version. so great, now i lost my steam update (or whatever that was), i'm back to the 1.61 version. I went to the arma2 official site, downloaded the 1.62 manually, installed it (with errors, some files were missing wtf) and now the servers say i have the 1.7.1.5 version, but need the 1.7.2.3!?!?! when i google the 1.7.2.3, it tells me to get the 94876, which i already have, and installed. this is insane. help please. i really don't want to reinstall the game, just to start this all over again. thank you.

hello everyone, i've just figured this out: let's say i'm in a bandit clan (i'm not, but let's say i am). what if, one day, we decide to create our own server and lock it with a password, so no one else can play on it. now we are free to roam that server, and get the best weapons and equipment for ourselves. now comes the cheating part. what if we stash all that loot in tents all over the coast, let's say 5 or 6 locations right next to the beach, around cherno and elktro and than go player hunting on the normal servers. if any of us dies, he just logs in on our passworded server, finds the nearest tent and stacks up, than reconnects on the server he just died on, with full gear. is this cheating? i think it is and that's why there shouldn't be any passworded servers in dayz.
