So this is for Arma 2 only right? When can we expect the combined arms patch? (i have to reinstall full with the addons, thats why i ask...)

[lazerath 10]

Awesome job BIS!

Thank you!

[OMAC 254]

Thank you , BIS!

I'm playing A2 1.08 now within CO with beta patch 1.58.78697. Will my A2 savegames work if I patch A2 to 1.09?

No, I don't believe they will. What you can do though is restart the mission though from the beginning. So, if you are halfway through mission three, you would have to start over at the beginning of mission three.

So patch and restart or finish your current mission first, then patch, then start your next mission with the new patch ;-)

I just downloaded 1.09 to desktop, here's the relevant bit of the readme-

I assume "C1" means campaign mission 1. What does "I1" mean? Scenario 1?

[icebreakr 3159]

We'll wait with update of our linux server, since we don't want to upload 12gigs again when Arrowhead patch arrives.

@ IceBreakr

1. You only need to upload changed files.

2. Use a something like rsync.

3. What's the problem with uploading GB of data, if you don't bother to look into 1 or 2?

[wipman 1]

Hi, all the models, textures and AI problems on the v1.08 still present on the v1.09. Let's C ya

The I1 I believe refers to sub missions or possibly the single scenario missions. I read something about this a few days back but don't remember all of it. Hope that helps ;-)

Can this be used for AMRA 2 CO or only stand alone ARMA 2,sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm not sure :/

[Smurf 12]

ArmA 2 only. The OA\CO still in development, check out the Beta and testing section.

[wipman 1]

Hi, the ArmA2 v1.09 patch comes inside the lastest OA patches (the OA v1.58 and the Beta patches released after the v1.58). The v1.09 is not necessary for the OA/CO users that have an installed OA version post OA v1.58. Let's C ya

Are you sure that 1.09 comes bundled with the post 1.58 OA beta patches? Hmm. I didn't see the 1.09 changes in the beta patch changelogs.

[pooroldspike 129]

1.09 seems to be only a very minor patch that tweaks a few missions, so is it really essential to install it anyway?

[Undeceived 392]

You really are the BEST dev in the world!!

Thank you!!

[sawacs 10]

This is a little confusing.

I purchased the Arma2 Combined Ops which contained both Arma 2 and Arrowhead.

I installed both disks and updated the game to 1.08 for Arma2 and 1.57 for CO.

I then downloaded the 1.09 Arma2 patch and applied it. After the update, I ran the Arma2.exe and the game now says it has been updated to version 1.09. Launching the Arma2oa.exe tells me it is version 1.57 which it should be.

Now, the million dollar question, did I just break my game? Folks have mentioned that the patch is for the standalone arma2 version which I have sitting right next to Combined Ops.

Thanks, Sawacs

For Combined Operations only install patch 1.5.. (the last final 1.57 or 1.59rc)

1.57 (or other for OA) contains a patch for Arma 2 (co)

But better wait for final or another patch (about 1.60)

You did pretty much what I did. I purchased A2 and OA separately.

1. Install Arma2
   
2. Patch it to 1.08
   
3. Install OA (which makes Combined Operations)
   
4. Patch it to 1.57 (this patch contained the A2 1.06 patch, but that didn't make any difference).
   

Everything's fine. I will soon install the 1.09 A2 patch. I think that will work. The OA 1.59 patch will contain the 1.09 A2 patch, but if the 1.09 patch is already installed, I don't think that will be a problem.

If anyone sees a problem with the above, let me know. Everything's running fine for me.

[Rough Knight 9]

If I install this, would I have a problem joining co servers playing "Insurgency" for example?

I just want to know before I install so I can still play online until the OA patch is released.

Thanks

Wait, so patches for CO don't also patch ArmA2? Now I'm confused.

[wipman 1]

Hi, in MP (on the ArmA2) there isn't any public server (under 150ms) running the v1.09; as OA/CO user you shouldn't have any problem with this patch in MP or SP. The Insurgency coops seem to be OA exclusive and the v1.09 patch hasn't touched any OA related content and it hasn't made any change to the ArmA2 models or textures. You shouldn't have any problem with the ArmA2 v1.09 pach as OA/CO user, and with the time it'll be necessary for you to be able to play in MP. The ArmA2 v1.09 don't even affect your ArmA2 campaign saved games, you can load 'em without problems; so don't worry. Let's C ya

Patches for the OA (CO) is also for Arma 2

No need to install patches on separate Arma 2, if you have CO
