ArmA 2 1.5 Multiplayer

[tuxu 10]

Hi all and thank you in advance for trying to help. :)

I'm playing this series for a long time but just recently had a problem that I couldn't solve with google or with the info already in the forums.

I've recently reinstalled arma 2 on my machine and wanted to play online, this was done through DVD installation and not by anyway through steam.

I do not want to activate the game through steam and I'd rather update the game on my own.

I do not have any expentions to arma 2 and at this point really not interested to buy none.

I have installed the game smoothly and have also applied the patches in this order:

1.3 patch.

1.5 patch.

After doing so I was unable to enter the multiplayer.

I've googled and found out that there was a patch for ArmA 2 and OA (1.55) which I had DL and attempted to install it.

The patch have been giving me a dialog box saying that there is no OA on my PC or that it may have been corrupted.

Since I have never bought OA I assumed that this patch is not for me and therefore did could not be applied on an ArmA2-only game status.

1,a. What version should I update my game to?

1,b. Since I've already searched Arma2 homepage for nothing I'd hope that any of you kind people would post a link. Where do I download the patch from?

2. My current arma2.exe file version in properties is 1.5.0.62017 but when I go to the details it says that the version is 1.05. Could anyone clearify that for me?

3. If I'm already here asking for stuff I'd thought you guys might know what are the finest mods currently designed to run on my version(ArmA2 with no exp.packs), is there anything similar to the "Partisan mod" that was made for opfp:res?

Cheers and thanks a bunch! :)

thank you mosh, finally a direct answer after that brain boggle.

I still have a problem with @Lingor that demends armaII 1.8 rather then 1.08 for some reason...

Mods are great but mod compatibility is a big issue even without game version changes.

Search button is your friend for any future questions you might have.

Indeed, useless answers - however - are not.

You may take into consideration that it's quicker for me to run a search the db for an answer then to wait for a response in a thread.

The line:"I'm playing this series for a long time but just recently had a problem that I couldn't solve with google or with the info already in the forums." is some what of a hint towards that end. :)

You are more then welcome to try and find a definite answer regarding the existance of the partisan mod for arma II or any other type of guerrilla Persistent Campaign.

this is the most relevant post i have came across regarding that mod, it dates to 2007.

Just to make it clear, there was no one who answered that post.
