Can't install latest patch

[dustinwhylee 4]

So, I can't get onto most servers, because they run the most updated patch.

-I went to this website: http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php/

-Downloaded the most recent patch (95417)

-Unzipped the file and opened it

-I press all of the buttons, but it immediately says "ArmA2 OA patch 1.62 has been applied successfully".

-I then read that I had to uninstall the game and before it'll work

-So I uninstalled ARMA2 OA

-Reinstalled the game

-Launched the game

-Tried to redo the patch

-The exact same message popped up immediately and the patch still isn't updated...

Help please :( I just want to kill some zombies and find items

Does everyone's silence mean I they don't know how to help?

I installed ArmA 2 with OA a week ago, and afaik, my DayZ is using 95417. I believe I installed the beta AND dayZ files automatically by using Six Launcher.

I have been unable to update to newer versions earlier today, but I think I might be on the right track now for succeeding in updating to newer versions.

This webpage has a section regarding Six Updater: http://dayzmod.com/f...ors/#entry18541

I have no idea why the retail version has a path requirement with Steam in it. Can't tell if it is wrong or simply something that is necessary. I don't think I have any folder with Steam presently, yet I can play on 95417 servers regardless, and I never followed the instructions on the webpage I linked to. Pretty confusing stuff imo.

I am not sure how the updating works. There is a shortcut for starting the installed beta in the installation folder, and apparantly I did seem to manually update the beta version to more recent ones (confirmed by looking at the lower right side of the screen), but somehow that has no effect on the DayZ mod (which has the old 95417 version on its lower right side).

I reinstalled Steam and the game (ArmA II + OA, I own the whole ArmA X pack for Steam) from backup files I made before. In my installation of DayZ it says to start ArmA II and OA once before continuing, so I did that. ArmA II started up just fine, but OA gave me the same error. Here is how I fixed it:

Go to your library in Steam, right click Operation Arrowhead and go to Properties. Then Local Files and Verify Integrity of Game Cache. Let it run, it might give you some bullshit about not having worked or whatever. Ignore that. Close Steam completely, start it up as Administrator again. Login and run Operation Arrowhead. Should work fine now.
