Can't even attempt to join servers

[tacooftwister22 10]

Last night I finally purchased Arma II operation arrowhead, after having Arma II for a while. I bought it for the sole reason of playing this game. Before installing any DayZ things I did run OA and play it for a bit. Then I installed it manually by placing the files in the addons folder of my expansion folder in my OA folder. I went to join a server but when I double click on any of them or press the join button while highlighted on them, NOTHING happened. All the servers had a red X to the left of there titles and said they required 1.61. So I downloaded patch 95054 and installed it. Now the same thing still happens. It still says "requires 1.61", meanwhile right above that it says I currently have 1.61.

Any solutions to this problem?

Try SixLauncher? might help, might not, but worth a go

Thanks for that, I installed SixLauncher and I became able to join the servers. Except now, it says "bad player name". Any idea how to fix this?

EDIT* If anyone has the problems they are simple and easy to fix. First start up Operation Arrowhead alone and go into the profile tab on the main menu and make a new name. Then go online and install SixLauncher. Sixlauncher will enable you to join any server without error and the new profile will remove the bad player name problem.
