Bad version, server reject connection

[Froazin 0]

Every attempt to connect to a DayZ server results in an error message that says "Bad version, server reject connection". I'm led to believe that other's are having this problem as well. I have worked out that the cause of the problem is the recent update to 0.34.115188 has left some people behind on 0.34.115182. I've verified this because there are a couple of experimenting servers that still use the .115182 patch that I have been able to connect to just fine. 

 

I have tried the following to fix the problem, none of which have worked;

- I have restarted and updated steam.

- I have restarted my computer.

- I have force updated dayz to no avail by opting out and back in of the beta version in game properties.

- I have validated the game cache.

 

The only thing I haven't done is completely uninstalling and re-installing DayZ, I'm trying to avoid this because my download speed is awful. If anyone has any other suggestions to fix the issue, I would appreciate it. 

 

If you're also having this problem be sure to bump the issue as it's a tough one.

Opt out from beta :)

Version number is different. Yep, strange.

I just restarted Steam and it fixed it.

open c/steam/common/steamapps/dayz

 

open batteye folder

 

keep folder but delete the contents manually

 

restart/steam then verify the game cache

 

this only re-patches latest battle eye but re-confirms it with dayz

 

goodluck if this works for you
