Difference between normal and beta patch startup?

[Cuqah 22]

When starting the game through Steam i get a popup that lets me choose how i want to start the game "Play Arma 2 : DayZ Mod, Play with Beta Patch" Wondering what is the difference between the two, i have been starting through the beta patch but is there anything different between them?

Always played through dayz mod on that so I guess not much atleast :)

The main difference is that you can't play Dayz without the Beta patch,

Shit i cant even get my mod to start right at the moment. Really frustrating stuff. Redownloading ARMA 2 now.

I wonder why they even bothered to allow it to launch without beta patch, as its clearly a requirement for the mod to actually work :)

Always open with beta patch, or you will not be able to connect to any server, on the server list.
