Hello everyone. I just bought Arma2 and Arma2 OA. I was looking forward to trying dayz for the first time, as i hear amazing things about it. I downloaded dayz, I've even been using dayz commander. But everytime i try and connect to a server i get this, "

Be sure that your Arma 2 Beta is up-to-date: http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php

Be sure that DayZ is up-to-date.

And be sure that your plain ArmA 2 is on patch 1.09 or above.

Those were my problems when I'd get that sometimes.

Thank you for the quick reply. I've got the game(s) from steam.

whenever i try and join some servers I get this(with a red X)

Current version, 1.62

REquired 1.62.99515.

This is driving me insane.

Ah, I've had that problem too, make sure you are playing through dayz commander and not through OA itself. If that doesn't work, then try to manually update the game up to the latest beta patch.

well, I've installed what you've linked, and steam says everything is up to date. Still having this issue. Is there somewhere i could manually install the maps for dayz? I'm starting to regret spending $30 on this headache >.>

make sure you are using the beta patch exe...steam bypasses it unless you do this --> http://www.tacticalgamer.com/dayz-mod-installation-support/186539-how-use-beta-patches-steam-version-arma2.html

Pretty sure thats the error you get when launching oa not as combined ops, the content deleted.chernarus.

Copy the arma 2/Addons folder and merge it with arma 2 operation arrowhead/Addons.

Also to launch using the beta executable you can just copy and paste it from expansions/beta to the main operation arrowhead directory.
