I tried, it stay's at "patch 1.6" not "patch 1.6.103718"

Or 1.6.2... or 1.62... I dont remember, one of those.

Verify the integrity of game cache.

By that you mean what? I had the problem of the Russian CD key so I chanced the .exe hex code to English, is that something that might be causing the problem?

Maybe, do you have the game in steam?

It's an easy fix when guided, I'm also a retail user and faced these issues :)

You currently have the wrong version because your disk has no updates, Steam users get the updates from Steam, us retail users have to do it manually.

 

Step 1 - Download and update to Version 1.60 by selecting any mirroe Here

It's a pretty big download @ 700mb so could take some time depending on your internet connection.

Once downloaded extract and install.

 

Step 2 - Now you have version 1.60 you need another update to get you to version 1.62, again find a suitable mirror Here

This is a very small update @ 52mb and then extract and install.

 

Step 3 - Install the Beta-patch from Here but i advise you take 103718 as that's what most Dayz servers are using.

 

That's it :D you're all up to date now, you can eaither launch manually, use play with six or what most people use, Dayz commander from http://www.dayzcommander.com/

Hmm... I have got 1.62 but I cant get it to 103718. I guess I can try repatching 1.60 and 1.62 then, will reply if working

1.62 shouldn't of installed without having 1.60, It should of thrown up an error.

Grab and install 1.60 and then do 1.62, any problems just reply.

[besterich27 0]

I already have 1.62, I updates 1.60 also before, but I cant use the beta patches

[PK Richie 507]

You might have 1.62 installed but you're missing the data from 1.60, Install 1.60 and then reinstall 1.62 :)

It's your choice but that's why it isn't working, take my advice or don't.

I tried. It said "1.60 is already installed."

[PK Richie 507]

Okay so now you install this beta-patch

 

Once done launch ArmA 2 and Operation Arrowhead at least once, this updates BattlEye and will also show your version as 1.62.103718 in the bottom right hand corner.

 

Then install Dayzcommander and install your mods, that should be you done and playing :) If not reply here.

That is the exact problem: Beta patches dont work for me. It say's patch succesfully installed but ingame it's still only 1.62 :l

[PK Richie 507]

Load up the main screen and it shows you in the bottom right hand corner, it should show 1.62.103718

Take a screen shot if you would :)

Well thats 30 euros thrown into dust, I'm starting to get ****ing pissed

[PK Richie 507]

Go to the main menu screen rather than the server browser, basically load up Operation Arrowhead and take the screen shot.

The main menu is the part that shows multi-player, profiles etc

 

Don't give up :) I'll keep helping until it works

It says 1.62.94somethingsomething

But it doesn't matter does it? It says I have a "Bad CD key"

[PK Richie 507]

Bad CD Key was a know issue with an old beta-patch, you still need to do your beta-patch.

 

If your says 1.62.94 then it's wrong cause the patch you want is 103718 so it should be 1.62.103somethingsomething

 

All you need is This Beta-patch and you're good to go :)

Oh! I'm an idiot! All I needed to do was to use the beta.exe one.....Just have to edit the data of that to change it from Russian to English.

Thank you!
