Snoa 0 Posted June 11, 2012 Hi, I'm starting to see more and more servers saying that I need a "beta patch" to play on their servers. I've looked up on them, and have found out how to install them, but I have the Steam version of Arma II, so would installing the beta patch be any different? Also, if I have a newer beta patch installed, can I play on servers that are asking for an older one? And what are beta patches exactly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moriak 35 Posted June 11, 2012 - how to run beta with steam - http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=9314- you can still play on servers with older/no beta- there are a lot of new features in beta patches, e.g. longer range on direct chat (which actually works unlike on non-beta servers), server option to disable chat channels (global/side), etc. you can read the change log for the whole list Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snoa 0 Posted June 11, 2012 Hm. I've read some thing about connectivity issues with some beta patches. Are these isolated incidents? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moriak 35 Posted June 11, 2012 I didn't have time to try out the latest build yet (93666) but I've been using beta for quite some time and didn't have any serious problems.. I had to reinstall BattlEye when I started using beta but then it all went smoothly.. you just need to copy the executable as it is described in the guide after every beta update Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snoa 0 Posted June 11, 2012 Whenever I try to install it, I get an error that says something like "Arma 2 OA is not installed on your computer or installation is corrupt" :\EDIT: Wait nvm, I know what I did wrong xD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
