I don't understand Play withSix please help

[etc (DayZ) 1]

DayZCommander is bad and I have a connection issue with it so I tried withSIX and its so confusing.

I really have no idea how to do anything.

I tried launching the game on a server and it tells me there are updates for the game but I just updated with DayZCommander and played fine about an hour ago.

The menu is very confusing what am I supposed to update? What game do I put DayZ on?

I have DayZ installed on steam, does it automatically detect it? please help

Why is it making me update Arma 2 CO to play when I already have it all updated perfectly fine...

this is so confusing

I hit update on DayZ under the mod selection tab and it goes halfway and sits on Processing doing nothing at all.........

Why is it having me update? shouldnt steam be doing the dayz updating? i installed it from steam

PlayWithSIX creates a new folder for all the mods and stuff. I am pretty sure you can change that somewhere. You can also see the details on what is currently being downloaded and such,

Ohh that makes sense now. I found @DayZ in my documents Arma II folder.

Can I delete DayZ from steam now?

Arma II has a beta patch that needs to be updated, did you do that on DayZ Commander or somewhere else? That could be your problem with Six. Steam does not automatically do this as there are a number of servers on a number of different beta patches.

If by "delete DayZ from steam" do you mean unistall or simply remove the library reference? If you downloaded DayZ via steam, unistalling it would mean you would have to re-download it via Six or DayZ commander, but you should be able to just remove it from your library if you like to keep things tidy.

I still would say it's worth sorting out DayZ Commander because it is a much better program in the long run. Maybe if you could further describe your problem with DZC we can help you make it work.

I figured out my issue. I have beta patched with DZC, and had DayZ installed from Steam. I wasn't sure why Six wanted me to install DayZ again but I realized because the DayZ folder was in the steam folder, not the mod folder that is created.

I realized this after installing it with Six.

But since I beta patched with DZC not Six, will that bring any issues in the future?

What I mean by deleting DayZ from steam is actually deleting all of it's content. Since I downloaded it from steam it should be in the steam folder. I'd like to keep my mods organized and want to just keep DayZ on Six. Would this work fine?
