Six Launcher-"This server seems to be outdated"

[vittuhapy 0]

I am having problems using six launcher. 99% of servers I try to join give me the message "Warning: This server seems to be outdated, do you want to join anyway?"

Is there anyway of fixing this?

If I join the server will I retain my equipment?

I'm not 100% sure on this so hopefully someone will correct me if/where I go wrong, but as I understand it the servers have to updated/patched by the admins that own them whenever a patch is released. When using Six Launcher (as I do also), this updates automatically your version of the mod to latest one whenever a patch is released and you load the Six Launcher program.

As the mod updates automatically for Six Launcher users and Admins have to patch their servers manually, this can lead to a period where servers are out of sync with the latest version of the mod that the Six Launcher users currently have installed (I believe the outdated servers are shown in orange on the Six Launcher server list, with the servers which match your version shown in white).

As a result I don't believe there is anyway you can 'fix' this per se, its more a matter of just waiting for the other servers to be updated by the admins which in my experience normally only takes a couple of days.

I am sure there are ways you can downgrade your version of Day Z back to the previous one, but I think it would probably be more trouble than its worth and is better just waiting for the other servers to update.

Hope this helps.

Hi Vittuhapy,

Just wanted to give you an update on this as it appears there is an issue with the updating of the Servers to the latest patch within SixLauncher where its actually the application which is outdated and not the mod as is usually the case.

Not sure exactly what the issue is but I noticed II keep freezing on the loading screen and when I eventually found a game I could join I was spawned on the coast, not my previous location (with all gear still intact). Regardless you may notice that your version is stuck at 1.7.2.4 in the launcher and the majority of the games are on 1.7.2.5.

I believe this issue is being updated so Six Launcher can use the latest patch but in the mean time I found something else called Day Z Commander to find games and I find it much more suited to day z and is more user friendly.

If your interested the link is at the bottom, simply download the application, install and run as you would SIx Launcher. In the top right corner is a 'version' button, click this and it will let you easily update to the latest version of both ARMA and Day Z, as well as giving you figures on what percentage of people are playing a particular version. you'll see for yourself if you try it but I think its much better than Six Launcher for using Day Z.

Hope this helps.
