aforeffort 0 Posted June 15, 2012 Hello, I'm completely new to the ARMA series/game and also DayZ. I'm currently downloading and installing the game but I'm really confused about the patches. When I've installed Arma 2+Operation Arrowhead should I then update it to the "beta" patch? (Also, I don't really understand this, is this a beta patch for the DayZ mod or just the game itself?) What also confuses me is that there seems to be two different updates, for example I read somewhere about a 1.7.xx patch for DayZ and then there's this beta patch.So what should be installed and what should not be installed?I hope I didn't make the question confusing. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eddie820 2 Posted June 15, 2012 It's not about doing it or not, pretty soon it'll be mandatory if you want to play, so get it now and get used to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wüstenfuchs (DayZ) 105 Posted June 15, 2012 It is recommended to install the ArmA 2 beta patch, because when DayZ version 1.7.1 comes out, everyone must have ArmA 2 beta patch installed in order to play it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
