SIX LAUNCHER UPDATE, AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG?

Recommended Posts

Ok so I updated like 3 or 4 day(z) ago and I don't think it actuallY updated because a lot of servers are on 1.7.2.5 and I'm still on 1.7.2.4

Last I checked, the new DayZ files were not uploaded to six yet, as they are not officially released. You have to do it manually.

Six hasn't updated yet. Either do it manually or just play on the 1.7.2.4 servers

I haven't been able to play for three days. I just sit at "loading"

I thought I was getting stuck too but I found out for most servers it takes like 5-10mins to get passed that loading screen.

going to piggyback this thread for a second, my question is similar.

can you use the play with six program?

or do you have to use the old six updater?

theres a arma update you need too, version 95883 the last i checked. and on our servers cp theres a bunch of battleye and dayz and arma beta files for a newer version.

for days after using six launcher i finally bent and went to DayZ support. after several attempts we figured out six launcher is reverting the manual update back. but it wasent deleting or overwriting the update files so even trying to join a older working version sserver was a stuck on loading. waiting 2 hours on the loading didnt help.

dont use six launcher. or day z commander. just launch it from the arma beta patch short cut in the arma add ons folder . use the multi player browser there. i havent had a hitch since.

make sure you have both the arma2 beta udate, and the dayz uodate. i had to end up with a full uninstall>search>delete remnans>re download/install, re download dayz files, re dowload arma beta 95883, then put every thing in its place. then the server we rent was totally bonked and the wonderful guys and or gals at HFB servers fixed it up.

so if you find when using six launcher you cant get into any games of old or new versions you might want to hit up dayz support with a ticket, they may have a little guide or some more detailed instructions then the community can give.

good luck.

Use Play with SIX. It's much better and supports several versions together with differential file transfers. This means it'll only downloads the changed bits and not entire files. Also it has a reliable buddy system as well as private and groupchats. :)

Just use Dayz Commander. 10x better than six launcher.

This. It really is. Although my McAfee didn't want me to install it at all... I had to over-ride it several times. Still, I took my chances and I'm really glad I did. It's so much better than Six Launcher.

I downloaded "play with Six" downloads easy enough and finding a server was a breeze. Downloaded and played for the 1st time last night and Im New to Pc gaming (only got my Pc 2 days ago)

See if that works for you.
