Beta launcher sucks?

[blackbelt27 3]

Okso ive been out for a week or so on dayZ and i come back and have to update to beta, just happened to find a tutorial on how to do so, so i launche the game in steam and its like i didnt update, and then i try beta launcher and it works, but buttons and stuff are all fucked up and theres no side chat option but I CAN SEE PEOPLE USING SIDE CHAT, consequently im killed on every encounter because i cant reply

So my questions:

1. Are my problems the same everyone else is having?

2. Is side chat gone and what are my alternatives?

1. No issues here.

2. See my reply in this thread regarding beta patches and side chat.

i feel like servers are so fragmented, everythigns different from server to server.
