Client is stuck on experimental build

[moses0424 0]

I was playing last night on the stable build until steam went down and then neither me or my friends could get onto any server for any amount of time. This morning I get on and the only servers that populate the list are experimental. I backed out checked to make sure I wasn't opted into experimental and  verified content. Logged back in and it was still on experimental, I could even connect to those servers without issue. So I backed out, opted into experimental, launched the game, connected to a server, closed the game, set it back to opt out of beta, verified content, launched game, and it's still on experimental. I appear to be the only one with this problem or the first person to bring something like this up.

I had the same problem a few versions back, my fix was uninstalling the game,restarting steam and then re-installing. Good luck!

Yea I ended up doing a fresh install and it works now.

I am having the same issue at the moment.
Will try and see if there isn't a faster way to fix this.

EDIT: Yup figured a much faster way.

 

1. Change your beta setting back to "NONE"

2. Restart Steam

3. Verify that DayZ now says "DayZ" and not "DayZ [experimental]"

4. If you attempt to start at this point the game errored out saying "Corrupted game files detected"

5. Right-Click > Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Cache

6. This will bring up a loading bar and should re acquire some files.

7. Start the game!

I tried both of these methods and still can't seem to fix anything. Does anyone else have another way of fixing this?

 

 

EDIT:

Fixed with yesterdays 0.58 update.

That is almost exactly what I did.
