No Matter what I do my Game stays at Version 100697 and I get bad Versions a lot now

Ok Since people are steadily updating the core game I'm starting to be able to play less and less servers. I load the game with "Play with 6" but ive also tried to install the patch manualy and Ive try to install it with DayZ Commander... They always say its updated but when I go into SIX (6) it still says 100697 what can I do? I've tried to check the force beta, and the other boxes that have to do with updating but its useless .. I run a NON steam version so Steam has nothing to do with it and I let SIX launch... I tried DayZ commander but its not listing all the servers or it lists them funny cuz I cant find ones I usaly use... Anyway Is there a way to get the SIX launcher to re-install the updates? beside just checking the box? It knows I have less of a version of these server, it tells me so when I try to log into them, but does not give me the option to update, it does say check force beta to try and load it but like I said I did that... I have already uninstalled this game 3 times and the updates before I even start SIX now trying to fix this but I get nothing but 100697 any sudjestions? Sorry for all the grammar mistakes I'm typing this on my tablet

I don't use six or DC but I do have a retail version.

You should delete the beta folder that can be found in Expansions before installing a new beta.

This is reccomended, it is known fact that overwriting beta's gives errors similar to your own.

Start the game using the beta exe. (not 6 or DC).

Might help, might not.

which beta folder? the one in my documents or the one in the programs folder?

Well I tried both and the one in my documents was the one SIX uses to run games I guess (I think play with six does not touch the actual files from the game but just lays the expantions and betas over the game? so when I deleted its beta folder not much happened , but when I deleted the beta folder from Program files and then ran the patch there was a brand new update waiting for me when I logged into SIX... thanks man Ive been messing with the wrong folder this whole time..... I did try what you said but I just tried it with the one in the documents....

I wonder why SIX does not update the actual files?? weirrd but im back to gaming so blah who cares right :)

Programs / Bohemia Interactive / ArmAII / Expansions.

This is where the game launches itself.

I do recommend SpiritedMachines ArmAII Launcher... http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=8242

Vid...

This is my (DayZ) launch line using the above program...

"-mod=C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2;Expansion;ca;Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion;@dayz" "-name=Alice_Packs" -nosplash -world=empty

Good luck.

you can change the paths in your arma setting to make play with 6 to use the files in your arma directory
