I'd like to do a fresh install of Arma2 and DayZ

[capri_stylee 9]

Does anyone know of any tutorials? I bought both Arma2 and OA through Steam, had a DayZ shortcut through Steam, its disappeared, and I don't know how to recover it, so I'll start from scratch...

I have six launcher too but this worked for me with just steam

I'm getting 'bad version' when I try to connect after following those instructions.

I think a fresh install is my best bet, to delete steam games do I just 'delete local content'? then start again?

thats an older post you have aversion of the Beta that doesn't match the Beta version the server is running i think. You can see the servers though for Dayz through the game?

I believe the latest arma beta patch is ARMA2_OA_Build_95417.zip , from this page.... http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php/

The server you connect to needs to be running the same version.

If you can see the servers from the multiplayer option in game it will display what version it is running in the server name most times.

use six launcher, but prior to doing so patch up to the latest arma II beta. that should fix your version issue.

One more question, how do I pre-load chernarus "-map chernarus" after -nosplash etc?
