Crashing back into the browser when trying to join a server (1.7.2.5)

Recommended Posts

Alright, after 4h of trying to get the new update working I am desperate enough to ask for help in here.

Until yesterday I played with version 1.7.2.4 and betapatch 95883. Since the most of the servers on 1.7.2.5 now I updated manually - ofc with the betapatch I mentioned above.

So now the weird things start. After the update I got a "CA_Dubbing_Counterattack" error when loading OA. The game loaded anyway. So now if I try to join a server I see the "wait for host" message and then for a short moment the lobby and a list of the players written in green appears. Next thing I see is the serverbrowser and the "you can not play / edit this mission" - message. -.- So there is no way for me to play DayZ anymore.

What I did so far:

-Reinstalling OA completly

-Checking the cache via steam

-Battleeye update

-Reinstalling the latest betapatch

So the funny fact is that I saved the 1.7.2.4 files and when I try to run the game with this version everything is fine (besides the teleport stuff and so on - but nothing to complain in here). Based on that I think the mainfiles are ok. I am able to connect on a bunch of servers (not that much left so far for 1.7.2.4 and 95833=[ ).

So any solutions or stuff I forgot so far? I could add screens if you need them.

Please help - you will get tons of beans!

Regards

Strange....

How did you apply the beta?

The "you can not play / edit this mission" - message.....Chernarus ?" is all ARMA files....not Dayz files...those pbo´s is located in your addons folder...both in ARMA2 and in OA.

Compare those two addons folders....what difference? (time stamps)

Downloading the files, running the exe and then copy the armaOA.exe from /expansion/beta to the maindirectoy - worked as intended

The arma2 "addon" files are from 02/07/2012. In the OA I have the folder "common" which looks similar to the addon folder. most of the files are from 02/07/2012 and the files "mission.pbo" and "modules.pbo" are from 12/08/2012. Then I have a "addons" folder on operation arrowhead/expansions/addons. In this folder the entire language files as well as the anims_e.pbo / missions.pbo /weapons.pbo and ui.pbo are from 12/08/2012. the other files are as expected from 02/07/2012.

Additional information: When I see the mainmenue I also get the message "bin/config.bin/cfgvehicles/citizen1.scope is missing".

I do not get any of this errors when I use 1.7.2.4.

Thanks for the help so far!

How we start the beta arma2oa.exe can differe, myself i never copy any exe and i load from Expansion/beta folder...

This has nothing to do with your pbo file error....

Somewhere in your install process it didnt go right....because you dont have the right ARMA pbo files....

WHen you did your reinstall...did you run Steam as administrator? Did you apply basic patch and after verifying the game cache on both games.....did you run them both once into menu before loading Dayz?
