Unable to play DayZ after downloading Steam version.

Recommended Posts

When I saw that the Steam download for DayZ was out, I was excited. I downloaded it and launched DayZ Commander to play it. First server I join gives me this error: "Bad version, server rejected connection". No big, I'll just try another one. After five or six failed tries (same exact results each time), I finally gave up and re-installed Arma 2 and Arma 2 OA with patch 747. I also deleted DayZ from Steam.

When Arma 2 and OA were done downloading, I ran them to make sure they started, and then I re-installed DayZ through DayZ Commander. I tried to join a different server that I never joined. "Bad version, server rejected client". Alright, maybe Commander isn't working. I go into OA and try to join a DayZ server through there, same results. Play with 6? Same results. DayZ through Steam? Same results.

I have started both Arma 2 and OA before trying to play DayZ. Help me please.

I have got this same issue before. To fix it go into the Install/Update tab in the top right on DayZ Commander and beside Dayz it should say repair, clicking that will fix the problem. This fixed the issue for me. :)

I have repaired three or four times. It still doesn't work. Thank you for the advice though.

I didn't think you needed commander for the mod on steam I thought it installed it for you..? maybe not.

This worked. You have to delete both Arma 2 and Arma 2 OA files. The files are in the Local section of AppData.

Open your start menu and type '%appdata%' and press enter (If you are on Vista/W7), then go up one directory to Appdata, and open the Local folder, the two Arma folders are in there.

Alternatively the path to the directory is 'C:\Users\*USER*\AppData\Local'
