updating to 1.7.2.5

[Dr.Phibes 0]

six updater is not updating my game (admittedly i may be using it wrong)

tried downloading the files manual and replacing existing ones still at version 1.7.2.4 very annoying as most decent server are now 1.7.2.5

any help would be greatly appreciated!

Six Launcher does not support 1.7.2.5 as it was a weekend patch Rocket threw together. Consider it a pre-release. When it is 'stable' or rather when Rocket is happy with the code, he will have Six Launcher release the patch to the public. Of course the pre-release code is available to the public already as probably 70% of servers are now using it. So, you have the option of using another launcher, DayCommander I think is the name of one which seems popular. Or you can manually download the files and install them then use the Arma2:OA multiplayer options.

---edit---

Just noticed you said you already tried manual installation. The reason this failed is, again Six Launcher doesn't support 1.7.2.5 so when you launched it, it overwrote the files with version 1.7.2.4

I've got the same problem.

I use six launcher and am on 1.7.2.5

The trick is to upload the manual files and copy them to the addons section

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\@DayZ\addons - On my pc

Then run six launcher but DO NOT click on verify or launch on the left side

Just double click on a server and the game will launch then hit esc which will take you to the multiplayer menu

Look at the bottom right and it should all be good 1.7.2.5

Just remember not to click verify or launch in six launcher as this will overwrite back to 1.7.2.4

Hope this helps

Rocket explicitly asked to NOT serve 1.7.2.5.

That's why we don't serve it trough SIX Launcher.

However within Play with SIX, our new tool, you can choose to update to experimental patches like 1.7.2.5
