Version Issue

[zachth 0]

I'm having troubles with my Arma OA version. When I open up the multiplayer server browser in Arma OA it says my current version is 1.62. Although most servers I see are running on 1.62.96061. i want to update to this version but I am having troubles.

In DayZCommander it says my current OA version is 96061/63, although everytime I go ingame it says 1.62. This is a problem for me because it really limits the amount of servers i can connect to.

I've also tried the manual 96061 patch from arma2.com, although it keeps saying I'm on version 1.62 in game. Not to mention everytime I try connecting to a 1.62.96061 server I get a black loading screen freeze.

Help would be much appreciated.

I am experiencing a similar/same issue.

Most servers I attempt to join kick me with the "invalid version, server rejected connection" error. Those that don't kick me just get stuck on the loading screen. (and no it's not impatience, I have tried about 3 times and left it loading while going away to do something and come back 30-40 mins later with it still stuck on loading)

I have

• Validated Arma2 + Arma2 OA files.
  
• Reinstalled the 1.7.2.5 update using Six, Day Z Commander and manually.
  
• Reinstalled the Arma Beta update patch 96061 using Day Z commander and manually.
  
• Rolled back to previous Arma Versions and DayZ versions then reinstalled current
  

In fact the only thing I havent done is reinstall Arma2 because I REALLY don't want to have to re-download it. (slow/unstable connection)

The thing is I experienced this issue only after a major character error. (A hacker teleported the entire server to mid-air, I d/c'd but on rejoining another server died before I loaded three times before my character appeared on the debug plains. After rejoining a few servers I respawned on the coast with no items. After wandering for a few minutes I changed servers to join a friend and was spawned at another random coastal spot (with the items I had found in the previous spawn) Since this I have been unable to join any server that I have tried. (about 20 servers tried per night for the last 3 or 4 days (admittedly these are not all different servers but about 15 unique)

Zachth, try downloading Six Launcher and joining servers that way. Upon joining a server, Six will prompt you to download the correct files and software versions. I had the same issues as you did until I downloaded and started using Six Launcher.

Are there certain settings I have to enable/disable for this to work? For the ARMA2 settings in Six?

My Arma2 settings in Six are as follows.

Force Beta patch: disabled

Update Beta patch: enabled

Update to PreRelease Versions: enabled

Include server mods: enabled

Launch through Steam: disabled (Leave this disabled as I get a bad version error when this is enabled)

Force 'Run as Administrator': disabled

Then of course, make sure you have DayZ selected in the mod browser.
