Bad version, server rejected connection.

[Mellem 1]

Okey, So I've search around here for the problem I got with no clear resault. I usually have like two servers to pick from.

The versions are:

Arma 2: 98220

Dayz: 1.7.3

Using Dayz commander!

As long as I can play, its okey but it would be nice to be on a better server.

So this is the problem. Recently I downloaded The additional mods, namalsk.

Which has, 98220 and 0.55.

So that works fine, however, when I try to connect it from dayz commander, I get "bad version, server rejected connection" and then when I look in-game, its says: Required 1.62.98220 in red. That is the version I used to play with. Tried to reinstall 98220, battle-eye, namanlsk and verify integrity of game cache.

So any ideas to what I can try next?

Thanks for reply

Martin.

what version of dayz is the server running

Most servers running 1.7.3 are using the lastest patch that can be downloaded from http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php

this patch is not on dayz commander yet

also on the main menu at the bottom it should have the versions you are using see what it says there is could not be loading the patch

well those I play on is 1.7.3, but now I want to try out the additional map, namalsk. and that the server I need to get on is 98220 and 0.55(which is the version of namalsk)

So I have the right versions. however, its says I need 98220 which I already got.

Same thing happens when I try using 1.7.2.6 what so ever.

Is there anything that is requried to do for playing on Namalsk?

you have to downgrade dayz to 1.7.2.6 for .55 namalsk to work

if you take a look at what it loads

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe" "-mod=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2;Expansion;ca;@dayz;@DayZ_Namalsk;@namalsk"

it loads the dayz files for 0.55 of namalsk it loads the 1.7.2.6 version

then the modified dayz file the 0.55

then the maps for namalsk @namalsk

if after downgrading it dont work use the shortcut file above to load it just change the paths where you need to

i have been having similar problems, although; no matter how many version changes and how many times i check the australian servers and match them..... bad version, server rejected connection prevents me from running the game at all.

1 I have changed the game files locations in an attempt to make dayz commander find the game at all

2 verifying ARMA 2 OA never seems make a change at all after telling me im missing anywhere from 1 to 8 files and telling me it will download and install them

3 double checking versions - 1.7.4.4 and 1.62.99153 up to 99445 matching the relevant server.

4 repatching ARMA 2, ARMA 2 OA and ARMA 2 OA beta.

can anyone shine some light on this problem ?

totally sick of looking at my game file directory in frustration.

would very much appreciate at least one progressive answer

I have found one reason that would make this "Bad Version" problem occur.. When using DayZ commander to launch the game you must not use the "launch game using steam" option.

When you use this option it seems to change an important command line for namalsk. By unchecking this box in Dayz commander settings and making sure you have the correct version, you should be good to go.

Hope this helps someone. It was annoying me for a while.
