ARMA 2 Pathching Problem. "File Corrupted"

[Jason.xax 10]

Greetings. Just got my copy of ARMA 2 today. After having some problems with installing, I finally made it. So now I have to patch it, the problem is that the first patch file I downloaded gave me an error on installing (the retry/abort/ignore one), and the next two files I downloaded could not be even extracted from rar ("File is corrupt" error on 99% of extracting), the last one I downloaded it extracted normally from rar, but when I run it, on the "extracting files" screen I always get a "Corrupt File" error when it gets to 20-30%.

Any ideas anyone? maybe it is just a coincidence that i downloaded 4 corrupted files, maybe something is wrong with my system (although I tried patching Arma2 on my 2nd pc, and all the files gave me the same error), i don't know.

Awaiting comments and helpful solutions.

Thanks in front...

After some more tries, i managed to extract the patches I have downloaded without any errors, but each time i run a patch i get such kind of errors

maybe this will somehow help..

Try to patch directly from 1.01 (retail version) to 1.07. Unistall ArmA2 and reinstall it before.

that's what im doing. I have an out of the box copy but somehow my game version is not 1.01 but 1.03.

Mmm i see. Did you try other mirrors here ?

For corrupted or lost .rar archives you may use rar recover. The software starts under low system requirements, restores data from any devices(Flash, DVD, Blu-Ray).

i get the same problem and ill just paste what i wrote on another forum

so i decided to give pr arma ago on my new rig but pr wont load

it said something about a Chinook so i tried updating arma to find there was a error and it said patch was probably damaged re downloaded from a differnt mirror same deal i even used the downloads from my other pc where arma pr worked but not very well.

so i un installed all of arma (after un installing just oa) and put on both oa and vanilla same deal witht the patching. un install again and go step by step.

i installed just arma 2 vanilla tried to patch to 1.9 from 1.3 (possible) didnt work so i patched to 1.4 (worked) then 1.5 then it didn't work. from the second paragraph i looked at the errors and it comes up with this

Code:

Please be patient. This update may appear to take a long time to complete. It is updating and installing very large data.

ARMA II DVD

ArmA 2: Updating version 1.04 to version 1.05...

Update 1.04-1.05\ADDONS\A10.PBO.BI.BISIGN.UPD cannot be applied, error xdelta3 returned error code: 1

Some error occurred during patch installation.

Patch file is probably dammaged. You may need to download it again.

Error in file ADDONS\air.pbo.bi.bisign, phase 1.

when i first tried using pr it said chinook now it says a10 in the patcher.

i have tried to delete the file, reinstalled many times but nothing works

i have a legit version on dvd i got from eb games aram2 and arma 2 oa (separate disks)

(this could be the problem) it is installed on my 2nd hard drive (500gb hhd) cause my first has 6.5 gb left on it (60gb ssd)

i can launch it with no patches BTW

I had the same problem and it could be only fixed by a new DVD. For some reason the two year old DVD installed corrupted files. Since a new copy of A2 was cheap that was no problem, but you could also try to contact the distributor to get a new one.
