Sheldon (DayZ) 0 Posted July 18, 2012 So, I was playing just fine and closed Arma 2 for a moment. Six Launcher then said an update was out and I hit the update button, there hasn't been any news on it so I was just wondering what was going on. I've tried to downgrade both the ARMA 2 beta patches and replace the DayZ .pbo files in my Steam folder and still, nothing is happening. The same thing just happened to a clanmate at the same time it happened to me. Is this normal, and how long does it generally take to be able to play again?I've tried using Arma 2 Launcher aswell to no success. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

critical 11 Posted July 18, 2012 This sixlauncher stuff needs to be sorted out? How can they get updates even before the main site or forum is updated? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

h4yw1r3 64 Posted July 18, 2012 Yeah, this is pure bullshit. Need to fucking make it optional to update. I clicked to join a server and it updated automatically. Now my friends and I can't join any servers. Stays locked in the black "Wait for Host" screen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jaba01 4 Posted July 18, 2012 Download one of the older beta patches and install them. http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php/New beta patch isn't working with BattleEye yet, so you can't play. Downgrade or wait. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Hawk 0 Posted July 18, 2012 Do the players not get warned when this is happening? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kashus 22 Posted July 18, 2012 It looks like none of the servers are aware of the update. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tinTin115 4 Posted July 18, 2012 the automatic beta patch install through six launcher is optional, take a look at the options in six launcher. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kaylousberg664@hotmail.com 0 Posted July 18, 2012 It looks like none of the servers are aware of the update.I can see several servers (claiming to) run the new beta patch, but i get the very same "Wait for Host" and the occasional "BattlEye Initialization Failed" on every single one of them.
