How to run beta patch and CO at the same time?

[Rickdiculouss 0]

i've followed all the directions at http://dayzmod.com/f...ors/#entry18541 to a Tee [the steam and beta patch directions], however, there's still one problem plauging me relentlessly.

I can get arma2 running, into the multiplayer menu, but joining a dayz game is where my problems lie.

depending on how i launch the game, i get one of two errors.

If i launch the game from the "Launch arma 2 OA beta patch" exe, when i attempt to join a game, i get the error that means im not running the game in Combined Ops mode.

When i launch combined ops through steam and try to join a game, my version is 1.6 and not compatible with any dayZ server that i've been able to find.

how am i supposed to run combined ops and the beta at the same time? is there some sort of target path edit that i've missed?

i've been trying to get this game running for serveral dayz (pun pitifully intended) now.

edit: on a completely unrelated note, is there a way one could PM an admin/mod? or request a ticket?

To fix this you must put the beta patch file in the ArmA II: OA folder manually because for some people, the beta patch doesn't install properly. I don't know why this happens for some people and not others. If you have any other trouble, look on YouTube " How to install beta patch for DayZ".
