[HOWTO] Install Beta For Playing On DayZ servers

[delshin 0]

I am using the launcher however I am a bit confused as to "2. Add a new group including @DayZ and @DayZ only."

In my launcher addons I have available addon @dayz.

Regardless the game loads but I get a flashing black screen that says derp, your running 1.5 and the server is running 1.5.4

*edit* Nevermind I did not have the mod added via the launcher....doh

Steam guys : Launcher not neccessary.

What I did (which Priestizzle told me about) : Download beta patch and run exe. Look in your Arma2 AO folder in your steam files. Find the "launch beta" shortcut, and move it to desktop. Run the shortcut. Go to "expansions" inside the game splash screen. Enable Day Z. Look for servers. Play. :)

There are so many possible ways to launch ArmA. No need to get all disrespectful about it.

I'm a bit confused because I have tried to launch it in several ways and I always get the same end result. When I get to the title screen, it shows I have the Beta, and Dayz installed with the proper beta in the lower right. However when I go to the servers it shows that I do not have the beta. So not sure what is going on.
