Version numbers explained?

[ron533 0]

Hi,

I saw in a thread here a link to ArmA servers stats

http://arma2.swec.se/server/list

there I saw different version numbers or patches i.e.

1.05.58008

1.05.62014

1.05.62017

1.05.62021

Personally I have 1.05.62017 and I did connect to other servers with different numbers (I see now).

What do those version numbers mean?

I though Patch 1.05 is identical to all users (maybe different only to CD or Steam downloads??).

How can I get the latest patch version?

Thanks for the answers

if you installed patch 1.05 you are running the latest version. At the moment there are no beta patches out.

Probably based on region.

"1.05" is the version number, "62021" show how often that the code has been compiled, also called "build". At least i think so :).

The differences between the versions you are asking for is that "62021" is the final patch while the other are just beta builds.

Odd how my game shows 1.05.62017 and I used the same file to update our server (which is a copy of my install from 1.04), yet the server shows 1.05.62014.
