Can't join servers "requires ARMA 2 OA 1.63"

Hi,

I am new here, and new to this game. I've been reading for weeks on how to get this game working properly so I can play some DayZ.

 

So far here's what I have done:

 

  • Purchased Arma 2 Combined Operations w/DayZ mod from Steam.
  • Installed all games/variations.
  • Run all games to initialize any installation code.

 

The list of problems I have received with trying to join a DayZ server and play some DayZ:

 

  • (From DayZ Launcher) "You need Arma 2 OA 1.63 to play"
  • "Incorrect Version, server rejected"
  • Lots of file errors (DLC missing)

 

Here's what I have done to try and correct the issues:

 

  • Uninstall all Arma 2 games and reinstall.
  • Verified file caches in Steam. 
  • For the incorrect version on DayZ Launcher: I downloaded the 1.63 Beta patch and replaced the 1.62 patch in the directory with this one. This fixed the error "You need Arma 2 OA 1.63 to play"  but I am still being rejected from servers for having the wrong version,. 
  • Restarted PC multiple times. 
  • Ran all games/files via Admin privileges. 

 

 

I don't know what to do next. I REALLY just want to play some Dayz online and not have to deal with this, but it seems I got the worst of the worst.
