[Solved] Problems after installing beta patch: battleye unknown game version

[andreamit 2]

The game was running fine just before I applied the beta patch, but rocket wrote is gonna be necessary in 1.7.1. so I wanted to download it. Anyway I downloaded the ARMA2_OA_Build_93701.zip and installed it, edited the Launch Arma2 OA Beta Patch shortcut adding the dayz mod line, now when i try to join a server I get the Battleye error "unknown game version". Can you please help me?

I am having this problem as well. I remember reading SOMEWHERE today that it takes a few hours for the battleye servers to 'catch up' or something along those lines.

try reinstalling the beta patch, or joining servers that arnt running the latest beta.

there is a way of getting it to work, maybe mine just fixed it self randomly after playing around with stuff >.<

atleast your not stuck in the wilderness like me!

I can get into games now as the Battleye list has updated.

Now... I did just spawn in the damn wilderness! skadjhfgaskdfjhsadkf!!!!!

ok I figured it out, I was running the game using the shortcut that the beta created, now I edited the old OA shortcut on the desktop and added the line so that is launches the OA.exe inside the expansion, beta folder, my line now looks like this:

"C:\....\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe" -beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -mod=@dayz -nosplash

now I can join servers with beta aswell, only issue is that I get the message "player andreamit is using modified data" but that doesn't kick me out or anything so as long as it is I'm can play fine.

Yes. The modified data file is default, always shows up no matter what.
