Stuck at loading for everything but 1.7.5 servers.

[Muncywolverine 236]

Anyone else having this problem?

I updated to patch 1.7.5, and now i cannot connect to any older version servers (like my home server). Is there a way to fix this? I'm homesick ._.

EDIT: Sorry for double post

There is no patch named 1.7.5

And since I know you mean 1.7.2.5 obviously, I can help you by telling that it's pretty obvious you can't connect to an older server version than your client version. Just download the old 1.7.2.4 files again and place them in the @DayZ folder. Ask a friend of yours that still has 1.7.2.4 to send them. :-)

Ur updated to 1.7.2.5 you cant just revert back...you have to delete .5 files and update with old .4 files to go back and join older version servers

How do i go about that? I used six updater to install the game, so i don't know where the files are located/what they are etc.

Kinda lost :/

Lol at Six Launcher, no offence.

Go to your Operation Arrowhead installation folder (Probably /steam/steamapps/common/operation arrowhead/ something'ish) and locate the @DayZ folder. Delete the contents of it, and place the old files of a copy of 1.7.2.4 in it and it should work. Six Launcher will force you to update again as far as I'm aware, so that won't even help. That's why I laugh at Six Launcher. Forces you to update, geez. Use DayZ Commander, tells you there's an update, but doesn't tell you you need it to play. ;-)

Yeah, I'm having the exact opposite issue. I loaded into one 1.7.5 server the rest will just sit at the loading screen for an indeterminate amount of time.

I have no idea what i did but i somehow logged onto my home server. But i spawned on the coast with my equipment.... lol...

Edit: I switched to DayZ commander and i think it magically fixed it. It says to update but i'm not going too :/.

First off I wanna say that... lolz at Brightbull who thinks 6-updater sucks. You can use it to play more than one mod... thats right guys... theres other things than DayZ...

Secondly, hes right. Your gonna need to go back to ".4" in order to play. Im currently having the same problem. Been trying to join a older version for like 30 minutes and it just plain wont let me. My suggestion is to just wait it out a day or two. The other servers will surely be patching to this one ASAP, it fixes the glitches almost everyones been having.

K then I have no fuckin idea whats wrong with my game. I tried 6-update and DayZ CMR. ┬──┬ ¯\_(ツ)

SixLauncher still sucks. Sure, you can use it to play things other than DayZ...but DayZCommander is clearly the better choice for joining DayZ servers.

And these are the DayZ forums. And he's complaining about an issue with DayZ.

@DeathDealer117 -- Six Updater/Launcher sucks. Irrelevant of what it can do, it doenst do it well. Its program is sloppy and the entire interface just is confusing for anybody to even look at, never mind use in the intended function.

I would never use an updater like this, I always use the programs "auto update" feature, or use patch mirrors from reputable sources, 'or my own mirrors' to update.
