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

Steam, Combined Operations

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

I've ttried the following:

98866, 98836, 98809, 98443, 98220, 97771/71 and 97448/51.

I've also tried using 1.7.2.6 and 1.7.3 on multiple servers

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

I've tried steam and DayZ commander

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

"This server is running an incorrect version of the server side application. You cannot play on this server. If you are the server admin please contact DayZ staff"

I receive that error whenever I try to connect to a server. The only server I can connect to are ones that are not connected to the hive (according to DayZ Commander). They spawn me on the coast with nothing. All other server with all other versions do not work. My self and 4 friends are all having this exact issue. We are wondering if the reason was because we were playing on a server when it restarted (we didn't see the message and it force kicked us) or if it is because we were playing on a server that is no longer part of the hive (which we used to).

*Your PC specs:

i5-2500k @ 3.3ghz

8gb ddr3 RAM

sapphire 6870

64gb ssd for OS

1tb for storage (Arma2 + DayZ are here)

*Your Operating System:

Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit

*Have you looked at these threads?:

Yes

My friends and I were all playing together the day before 1.7.3 came out and everything was working fine. For some reason we all started getting this error when we wanted to play the next day. We don't know if its related to the update or not. I've tried reinstalling DayZ, Reinstalling the Beta Patches, Reinstalling DayZ Commander, not using DayZ Commander, Reinstalling Arma2 + Operation Arrowhead.

Any help is appreciated,

Thanks!

dude its probably because the servers haven't been updated and your latest versions of dayz/arma 2 aren't compatible with the server, that's my best guess (update probably did something since you have downgraded, messing with server).

It's happened to me too. I had good gear and that was a week ago now I went to play on a server started as a bambi on the coast, not sure if I lost the gear or if its just different gear for different servers

I've tried over 10 combinations of versions on multiple servers. I've tried servers which I KNOW I am using the right version for.

Thanks for the reply, but I KNOW I'm using the right version.

Same here.

Can't play on any public hive server. I can join to the player list screen, then after the Loading..., it knocks me out saying that the server is running an incorrect version.

The error message is erroneous.

I was on Arma 2 98866

and dayz 1.7.4.4

I have upgraded to 99153.

Reinstalled 99153

reinstalled DayZ 1.7.4.4

The servers I am trying are all 1.7.4.4, and 99153.

I have created a new profile and tried to connect as well to no avail.

I have read that this is a problem where my CD key data is corrupt within the hive and that, short of a tech support miracle, this will not be fixed.

Private hive OK.

Bump. Can't play.

I know this is old, I just ran into this problem when I changed my cd key, but I forgot to run arma 2, I only ran oa. Make sure you run both games to write your cd key to your registry before trying to play dayz.
