DayZ Update to 1.7.1 issue

[maNic 0]

So here it is a somewhat fix to the 1.7.1 patch that has been getting on everyone's last nerve for the last 24 hours.

I found some ways that can help all the DayZ fans when updating to the newest patch. Delete your @DayZ folder and use the Six Updater to the newest version (you have to start Six Updater and goto the mods tab, then right-click -> Updater Actions -> Install or Update Mods), this will download the correct files (Worrom updater is having SSI issues from what I've been hearing), then download the newest patch 93825 from http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php. Once updated, DO NOT start Arma 2 from steam or your original link, you must use the shortcut from the Operation Arrowhead folder in the steam folder "Launch Arma2 OA Beta Patch" shortcut or "DayZbeta" windows command script. Enjoy!!! :D

Once in the main screen you should notice the patch should be correctly displayed in the bottom right and will have beta under the Arma II pic.

Do you have to continue to open it that way once you have done it once?

I'm having issues of a different variety. I can't install the new update because http://www.armafiles.info/dayz/ all of the links give my a 500 Internal Server error.

use the Six Updater from the Dayzmod.com download section. Don't install manually some people are getting errors downloading the individual files

Update: Patch 93825 kicks some people off servers using battle-eye use 93701 instead

what patch is showing in the main menu bottom? And from what I've learned in-game is servers aren't updating to 1.7.1 and staying with 1.7.0 so looks like that's the issue with alot of servers. Some are saying they have 1.7.1 but don't, and is why people are spawning at weird places, you'll load somewhere inside the map just the assets don't load. ie trees, buildings, debug monitor, etc.
