Beta Patching Question

Recommended Posts

I just came by here to post a new thread asking about this beta patch.

Sorry, i'ts .94444 something or other. The website here goes up and down with the excess load and I can't find it at the moment.

Someone should know what I mean though, all the servers are running it.

Can someone please clear some things up for me.

I run STEAM version of Arma2: OA. I do not use an updater becaue it screws with Steam.

I let Steam do the updating automatically because my technical skills for manipulating the files etc are frustrating to say the least.

I get 1.7.2 and already notice that almost all the servers are running this beta patch and I cannot get on.

What is that beta patch? Will Steam update it automatically?

If not, what can I do about it? How would I install it via Steam?

And will it screw up the Steam version of Arma2 when Steam tries to autoupdate in the future?

Thanks for info.

Beta Patch is for ArmaII (Engine)

Alpha Patch is for DayZ (Mod)

Steam has nothing to do with updates, its only a mere download manager for the vanillia game.

Use SixUpdater to update Arma 2 & DayZ, it works no matter where you bought any versions.

Thanks for the reply.

If I want to do it manually, where does that .94444 patch go? And how?

Also, anyone answering, keep in mind I play regularly with a group on regular game servers. Will installing this beta patch make me unplayable on those other servers?

Thanks.

It's not difficult if you take your time and follow the instructions, you might learn a lil something along the way as well :)

THanks for the help.

I got the Six Installer going and it updated everything fine and Steam still works to run and play Arma2 on other servers.

People all over the forums are having this problem atm :) I think it's just a matter of time, seeing as the dev team is probably aware of it ^^
