Confusing issue with dayz version and arma beta patch

[Da3WiseMonkeys 0]

Hi people really got my head twisted with this one, hoping to find some help.

**Skip to bottom if you dont want the story**

Recently the hive I play on updated its Arma 2 Beta version to 96895, so I try and update from 96751 with Dayz Commander. DzC downloads 96895 and installs it, but when I refresh the versions it still says I'm out of date. Not wanting to be beaten I download the most recent patch, 97127, manually and install manually. Same result on DzC and when trying to join a sever running 96895 it says "Bad version, server connection rejected".

Still not wanting to be beaten I try launching Dayz using the "Launch Arma2 OA Beta Patch" shortcut. When I launch using this there are some differences, At the title screen (before finding a multiplayer game) in the top right corner it has the DayZ logo, then below that it has the Mod info and the version info but it differs from when I launch with DzC:

Launching with DzC gives me:

DayZ (logo)

arma 2

beta

expansion

@dayz

1.62.96895

1.7.2.6

Launching with the "Launch Arma2 OA Beta Patch" shortcut gives me:

DayZ (logo)

@Dayz

Expansion

beta

1.62.97127

1.7.2.5

Why in one instance do I have the wrong arma 2 beta version but the correct DayZ mod version, and in the other I have the correct arma 2 beta version but the wrong DayZ mod version?

If anyone could help me to launch DayZ in anyway with the right DayZ version and the right Arma 2 Beta patch it would be amazing!

I have been playing dayz for over a month with no significant issues up until now, if anyone needs system specs please ask and I shall deliver.

Thanks in advance Monkeys

Copy those 2 files (arma2OA and arma2 oaserver) from Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta and overwrite to Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead then Check those 3 boxes from DZc settings at game directories, Boot DZc. DZc dosnt update itself very often so dont worry if your version is higher than DZc,s suggest for you. Hope this helped.
