plz clear up versions confusion for me

[kurnis 1]

so my playwithSIX updated my dayz to 1.7.2.6

this is the most recent version right? why do i still see a lot of servers running 1.7.2.4 or 1.7.2.5?

also, what is the second number? i usually see 96584 but there are other more "recent" (at least higher number) versions out there too. which one should i be looking for?

I have literally no idea why one would not update his server to .6. Also, have a look at this: http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php

People can choose what version they want to run.

Second number is what version your beta is.

well the second number cant be MY beta, because different servers have different numbers. based on EpeeNoire's post im assuming the second number is the Arma version, whereas the 1.7.2.6 is the Dayz version. correct?

Try DayZcommander, it tells you if your on the latest patch, keeping track of dayZ, lingor, and takistan, and your arma2 beta.

You are correct.

ok another question. if i use dayzcommander to update to the latest arma version (96895) can i still join servers using 96584? (im still using dayz 1.7.2.6 and so are the servers, this is just in reference to the arma version)
