Steam update overwrote arma2/dayz?

Recommended Posts

SO i patched to the latest beta last night, all working fine I use a bat file to run the game outside of steam.

Today I boot up to find my clan playing medal of honor, so i have to start steam to play this.

Then later on I run the bat file to find it errors telling me data is missing WTF.

So I find Steam is downloading ALMOST 1GB OF "UPDATE"...hang on even 10 beta patches in total are no more than 100mb...what the hell is it downloading?

When it completes can I run Dayz as normal through my bat file or do i need to manually patch it to the latest patch after verifying all my files?

Thanks

After steam updated, just to be sure, I ran the last beta patch again for Arma. No problems for me.

Well it installed but now when I join servers it instantly kicks me for missing file language.pbo.

I ran steam as admin and verifyed both games, it said that 1 file for arma and 3 for OA would be downloaded, it promptly downloaded them however I still get kicked from any server instantly.

I really dont know what to do now, any ideas?

Ok it appears that it tried to patch to the latest beta (even though it was already on the latest beta) and so it overwrote all of the bisign files, only it doesnt overwrite them it creates a new one called .pb(2) instead of .pb, when the game runs it detects that all pb(2) files should not be there, and you get kicked. So you simply delete them, theres about 400 of them.
