random ban?

[sir_renzo 0]

hey, my name is Renzo,

i just bought arma 2 for dayZ yesterday and i joined a random server about 10 minutes ago and found a makarov,

i went into another shed to search for supplies an then i got kicked and banned, random?

why..

now my server list contains a lot of X's instead of servers, and my choices of servers are limitied...

how does this come and how do i fix this

please help me !

Did it say you were banned from the server, or did it specifically say "global ban"?

Next time, keep track of the servers you visit. And locate who hosts it.

The lots of X's could mean a number of things, but mainly they might be beta servers. Consider installing the beta patch?

quote from dayz fb page:

"There is a bug in the new ArmA 2 beta patch. Battleye thinks that you are using unallowed scripts. I got globally banned yesterday but I got unbanned when they looked through the logs. Keep away from the new patch until a fix has been released. -Towbie"

if you are not a cheater, you can relax and just need to wait a bit.

Renzo,

Pretty sure the beta patch is why your seeing that. Head over to the arma2 beta site and grab the latest patch.

I was wondering the same thing, and if you're launching the game from within the ARMA 2 menu, then yeah, down in the lower right, it will show you if there is a version mismatch.

Normally I wasn't seeing this as I generally use Six launcher.
