Issues with finding a server/DayZ Launcher

[Xobain 2]

Hi guys, completely new to all of this so i'm a bit stuck. I've watched youtube videos on how to install Dayzmod and as far as i'm aware have followed them properly.

I have both arma II and expansion downloaded, I have the dayzmod files saved in the right place. When I load Combined Operations and click expansions, I have them all INCLUDING @dayzmod which I made the folder for.

When I click multiplayer almost all servers have a red X on the left hand side and I am unable to join. On the right, below the server list it has "versions", I am running 1.60.875, all of these servers require 1.61 which is highlighted in red, showing that I don't have the right version.

Where am I able to download 1.61? I'm using steam and as I said, followed all videos.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks a lot.

Most servers are running this version of the ARMA II Beta. Try downloading this and then connecting to a server

You need to download and run the beta along with @dayz and CO. http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php . 976 and 945 are 1.61, while the others below are 1.60. So you need to check the server version you want to join and then install the relevant beta from the website

The way it used to be is to download the newest beta patch from http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php. Unfortunately some of the newer beta patches for ARMA II seem to cause problems connecting, many servers have various versions and some of the latest beta versions even create technical difficulties.

From what I've read most people have had good experiences with beta version 94444.

Downloaded both of those and it doesn't actually update in game. I make sure steam and game is closed down, extract and install.. Currently re-installing both games now. Anybody have any idea on what i'm doing wrong?
