Unknown Game Version?

[Namffoh 0]

I can't join any servers, it tells me I have an unknown game version. The only way I can play is if I re-verify the game cache, but I need to do that every single time. It re-downloads the same 2 files every time I do it, it does this for CS:GO as well. I can play every other game fine, in fact I play Epoch more than I play the standalone. Anyone had similar issues? I've tried deleting the Battleye folder and re-validating, it just downloads the same 4 files and lets me play until I exit the game and try to play again..

DayZ SA ?
Anyhow, check you folders and make sure they are not set to read only.
Check that Steam is added in you Firewall settings.

Run Steam as Administrator.

 

Might help, might not.

Yeah standalone, still ain't working. Sorry I bought this thing, could've had The Forest... *siiiiiiigh*

What system are you running on ? Do you know what files are downloading ? Are you running on administrator account or standart account ? Have you tried to reinstall steam ? Which antivirus/firewall program do you use ?

Have you tried anything of the things mentioned above?

 

Before you jump to conclusions and give up prematurely, you'll atleast have to try one or two things.

 

A search includes that "little effort on your side", as this is just what I found within 10 seconds of searching:

I've tried all of these, re-verifying is a temporary fix.I'm not re-installing steam and re-downloading all 30 or so games, but I've re-installed DayZ and ran Steam as administrator. I also don't use anti-virus, no need for it.

I assume re-funds aren't available? This thing's worth £3 at the minute.

Pls, reeeeefuuunnndd D:

 

I've tried everything, this game version bug is just making a broken, buggy game even worse for me (and it's pretty hard for this thing to get worse..)

 

I've tried deleting all the BattlEye folders (including the one in appdata) and re-verifying. I've also tried re-installing the game. What's next, re-install the fucking OS? REFUND PLS, I BEG YOU DEVELOPERS.

As this is happening for other games that you own I suggest you make a support ticket at Steam.

It happens for CS:GO too, every other game works spot on. I already got a reply from them:

 

Thank you for contacting Steam Support.

Please exit Steam and go to the folder called C:\Program Files\Steam\ (this is the default location for a Steam installation - if you set a different installation directory, you will need to browse to it).

Delete all of the files in this folder except:

 - Steamapps and Userdata folders

 - Steam.exe (this file is listed as an application and features the black and white Steam logo)

Restart your computer.

Then, launch Steam.exe from within the Steam installation folder, and not from a pre-existing shortcut.

With Steam running, re-test the original issue.

Note: This process will not affect your currently installed games.

If the issue persists, make sure your network is optimized for Steam:

 

Didn't work, just about ready to give up with this game. Serious question, IS A REFUND POSSIBLE? THIS IS 100% BOLLOCKS AND A WASTE OF MONEY
