Need help with my issue

[Fyrefly 0]

OK so i just bought Arma2:CO (both needed games) on steam which was $30 and i cant seem for the life of me to get the mod to work so i can play it. I downloaded all the files needed for the mod and followed the install guide and everything now when i try to join a server i get a message saying "you are running an incorrect version of dayz_code please download this file from dayzmod.com/downloads (which i did) ( you are running version 1.7.1.2 and the server is running 1.7.1.1) ok so i tried going on a server that was running 1.7.1.2 but it says im version 1.60 and 1.60.93825 is required so no matter what i do i cant play so then i tried the "six launcher" and when i join a server its completely black like cant see anything but the stars and the GUI so what do i do!!!! Please help me asap

Those completely black servers are just night time. Lol3

1. Download and install beta patch from http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php (Latest patch is in the green field top of page)

2. If you are met with a "Password screen" then choose the top version on page (Not in the green field)

3. Go to the Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead directory (for example C:\Program Files (x86)\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead) and right-click -> edit on .cmd file "_runA2CO_beta.cmd". Search for ":run" near the end of the file. Add ";@dayz" without quotes to "-mod=%_ARMA2PATH%;EXPANSION;ca".

4. Run "_runA2CO_beta.cmd" and enjoy playing!

You may create a new shortcut to "_runA2CO_beta.cmd"

NOTE: Remember to install DayZ MOD before launching the game!
