Pausenbrot 0 Posted June 27, 2012 Hi first i have to tell that i dont mind if there some bug with this mod but what i had experienced is ridiculous,first this site didnt gave me an authetification code for about 2 days only after i contacted the webmaster i got one ...(and yes i checked my spamfolder)then steam bugged about installation, cd key, missing files and so on...so i tried to use the search function but ofc it bugged like everythink elseso i googled until i finaly could start arma 2 combined operation with dayz addon with latest version, updated first manual and then again by worroms..but ofc this is just the start so i explain my situationi play throught steam orignial arma2 and operation arrowhead... so its up to date throught steam.i downloaded the newest dayz files and made everything after this guide in the forum so it starts properly.anti cheat is updated and all my drivers ... simply everything i knownow if i try to join about 90% of all dayz multiplayer server i get this error "bad version ...", so after some research they told me you had to run combined operation ... well ofc i did this and no it doesnt help and yes i updated all correct but in 9% of the servers i can join but stuck at loading screen with some rain sounds in the background.... so again i researched and i got some information about joining other server and try again. i dont know if it realy helped cause its kinda hard for me just to save a server but thats not even the main problemi consider that in 1% of all server i can even go further to the game (at least i thought so) and i can see some field or hill or anything nature but i dont have any character,ofc no weapon or anything .. i only see the view and in the right side of the desktop the usual green icons, i cannot move and if i try to talk my text gets green and i think the other players cant hear me (but i can hear/read them).ofc i tried the search function now but still no clear help.so i dont know what i did wrong if some1 pls can explain that would be great.p.s.: dont give me any link to any thread youre not 100% sure it solves my problem cause honestly i think i tried them allp.s.s: i cant belive this genre havent learned about anything .. my last shooter was for about 6 years and the fact that this game is splitted in so many directions like: 1 made this game another sells it the next made the anti cheat the next trys to run server another do some mod the next do some patching and so on ... ofc there are so many bugs, this mode just sounds amazing but i dont know if its worth this trouble... so pls help me and hope im wrong!

ScienceCow 2 Posted June 27, 2012 You need to run the Beta of Arma II. To make things easy download and install the Six Updater and Six Launcher. http://www.six-updater.net/. They've worked for me with every update. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
