I installed the beta patch just using the install method that comes with the download, and it says beta at the side when I launch the game through either the beta shortcut or by joing a server from 6 updater. I didn't change a startup line or anthing, but it seems to work. Still haven't gotten ACRE to work though. I don't even know where I would find the startup line?
I'm outta town right now, maybe somebody could do a 2-3 min tutorial video about how to DL acre, jayarma and cba via six, how to add the plugin to teamspeak and you put it in the first post and all the explaining is done?
It would be really nice if there was a video tutorial on how to do everything associated with Arma that wasn't just push a button and your done. This has got to be one of the most complicated games I have ever played. In all honesty though that's the reason I'm enjoying it so much.

That doesn't make any sense to me. I have no idea what or where the startup line is.
I meant the window you get for right clicking ArmA's desktop shortcut and then selecting properties..but as you are using steam i reckon you might not have a desktop shortcut at all.
Here´s some stuff google found

REALISM! No, fuck that, FIRE THE LASER!
you can also use a launcher, like the one from spirited machine. Last week,i was on ts explaining how to set up acre with steam, and we used the launcher. I think thats the easiest way. But with six it's really nice IF you know how to do it.
PreReq: Properly installed Teamspeak 3.
1. Start Six Updater
2. Check the "Beta" checkbox, up top at "Overrides"
3. Create a preset - right click anywhere in the preset tree on the left to create a new one or clone an existing
4. Go to the Mods tab, right click @ACRE and select "Add to preset"
5. Run "Install or Update" - make sure it updates the expansion/beta to the latest version
6. Run "Install or Update, and Launch the game"
Enjoy ACRE (correct plugins and mods loaded, userconfig installed).

Thanks for the help guys.
Here's how I've been running my mods. Tell me if I'm crazy or not.
I go to 6 updater, and click on server browser. Then I find the server I want and right click it, do down to actions, and then hit add or install mods and join server. I just let 6 updater create the dynamic one for me. This though is not letting ACRE work with teamspeak. When I get some time later Ill give some of your advice a try. I even go to 6 updater to start the game in single player. I have one preset made for it with all of the ACE mods. Doing it like this is the only way I have been able to get them to work so far.

I've watched that video probably 20 times, and got an error message everytime I tried it. I don't know what the deal is, but I just couldn't get that to work for me.Originally Posted by Mr Burns
If you can'T get it working, i could take a look via teamviewer this week and you hop on TS. I would offer my help , before your heart stops beating
I might take you up on that. I'll give the other things a try first, but my heart has got a workout trying to get this game going. It's had my blood boiling more then once.
Just let me know and we'll fix it..
