My current problems stopping me from playing DayZ mod

[T600INFILTRATOR (DayZ) 0]

Ok so here is a list of my problems. As you read throught PLEASE reply to help me!!! I f****** love this mod and I got it today.

So I was able to play at least 3 servers today, and EVERY other one said in the bottom right hand corner is my current version (1.62 or something like that) and the server versions are like 1.62804 (I don't know, i don't memorize numbers) and the long number is encased with red. So can somebody show me how I can update that PLEASE?

Next is this black error box that pops up every time I start Combined Operations. This I can almost deal with but its pissing me off that I have to wait a whole minute to play my game. The box doesn't appear when I just launch Arma II or Operation Arrowhead. So please answer this and the other problems.

Third is that I ALWAYS get stuck in the loading screen whenever the server version isn't encased in red. Iv'e tried reinstalling the game, reinstalling the BattlEye (which by the way I here is a piece of SHIT) and it just doesn't work. Some loser said that loading the map in just Arma II would work but I took his word for it and obviously I wouldn't have put this here if it was ok. Again PPPPPPPPLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By the way I did purchase this off of Steam so if that gives anymore info, your welcome (couldn't find a disk copy)

Are you using six launcher? If not, use it.

I highly recommend using DayZ Commander, I recently reinstalled ArmA 2 and OA, and I just downloaded DayZ Commander and clicked install for the patches and DayZ, once it installed, I could play instantly. No faffing around, and DayZ Commander is simply better than Six Launcher. It will update everything to the latest and the server browser is amazing.

If you're using steam, go into the properties of ArmA 2 and then ArmA 2: OA and validate the integrity of the files, that can sometimes fix issues.

And with the loading screen... That sometimes happens, some servers I get on quickly, others I'm on the loading screen for 30+ seconds, but they do generally load... I don't think there's anything you can do about that. Someone else might know more though.

I can't really do anything tonight but thank you so much for replying. Maybe if I fix these problems we can play a game or two together!!! My (mine and my dads) Steam account is Branimal360

Thank you guys so much!!! So far you guys solved the black screen box at the beginning of startup using DayZ Commander!!!

Thing is though, I try to join a server using Commander and the game loads up perfectly but when it gets to the menu it comes up with an error box saying version cannot load with game version and the servers is off at about .03 and I can't find the setting for that exact version.

But I haven't had trouble with the loading screen since I got it. thing is though it is still hard to find a good server that allows me to use it. PLEASE AGAIN HELP ME!!! YOU GUYS ARE REALLY HELPING!!! :beans: ;)

Make sure you have arma2 and dayz updated to the correct patches for the server you want to join. If you look in the top right corner of the DayZ commander, it will say Version. Click that and make sure you have the appropriate ones. If you still have problems, please let us know.
