I have no idea

I'll join a game, then I get kicked for "Bad version, server rejected" or whatever it says. The main part is "Bad version", okay, I can understand the error. But why I'm getting it is a different story. I use Six Launcher and somehow I have the wrong version? It was working fine last night, all of the servers have the same Day Z 1.7.2.3 version that I have. So why can't I play a server?

I also seen another server on the list somewhere that said "1.7.4" so it's out but we can't download it?

I would like to be able to play this. I don't know what I've done wrong, or if I've actually done anything. It was working and now it's not.

Have you ran an update on DayZ with six launcher?

[John Johnson 12]

Huh? I thought that if a new Day Z update comes out, when you launch Six Launcher it will automatically update the mod itself?

Not that I know of, try it, and tell me if it fixed it or not.

[DeTaiLz 18]

New update? You sure?

[John Johnson 12]

Yes, I'll take a screenshot if I find it.

I've deleted the mod manually, and I redownloaded it and it's still giving me that error. Do I NEED the beta patch to play Day Z? Because I haven't downloaded it ever and I've been able to play the game, what's suddenly wrong?

Yes, download the beta patch,

Yes. Server hosters are being "forced" (and I use that word loosely here) now to use the latest beta patch(es) so best get to downloading the latest beta patch and that will fix your problems.

[John Johnson 12]

Alright - I just installed it, going to launch the game now. It's so annoying that you HAVE to have the beta patch now. As long as I can still run the game through Six Launcher I'm happy.

[John Johnson 12]

Nope. It didn't work, I'm getting that same "Bad version" error. I'm actually getting sick of these copious amounts of errors.

[John Johnson 12]

Okay, it turns out that the NZ servers that I'm trying to play on are down, and are glitching by showing there's players in them...

I can't wait for the full release of this.

Post up when it's working

[John Johnson 12]

I'd love to post that it worked. But it didn't. I'm still getting the Bad version error. I have the beta patch installed like you told me to, I even re-installed Day Z. I'm STILL getting this error.

[John Johnson 12]

Update: I THINK that it IS the servers, because I made it in to a server and it didn't give me that error. I'm not sure. It could be a combination of the both.

I too have tried NZ servers, just getting bad version errors the whole time. Just gotta settle for a non updated one I think. Good luck!
