Not sure I get it - on Arma2.com it says that it has been announced on the 24th of March ? Is that the real deal for download there?

Thanks,

OP

Edit: nevermind, saw that it had been revised on the 31st

I play with patch 1.56 right now. Do I have to install 1.57 first or can I just install 1.59 directly?

Hm, I've had two different corrupt downloads now. It extracts about 50% in and then crashes with "File is corrupt" message. Are you sure the distributed file is ok?

Yeah, I am on my third attempt now. Hopes are up!

Edit: Yes, patching now. The Gamefront link worked for me

I played with the R6 since it was out and i noticed that my PMC scenarios were not availible anymore after reinstalling everything. Is this install order right?

Install Arma2 from DVD

Install OA from DVD

Patch to 1.59

Install BAF

Install PMC

?

Install BAF and PMC before the patch.

Hm, probably have to install the BAF and PMC packages, and only then patch to 1.59. Makes most sense, since 1.59 also patches the packages

So Arma2-OA-BAF-PMC-Patch1.59

Ok, but doesnt require at least PMC a higher version then the OA DVD version?

so maybe you have to install 1.57 before 1.59?

I think you are fine without pre-patching. The readme says this:

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

-------------------

An original version of Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead 1.50-1.58.

HOW TO INSTALL THE PATCH

-------------------------

- Run the patch exe to apply the patch setup automatically.

- It will install all content of the patch to the folder with your Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead installation.

- Please note that it is not possible to rollback to a previous version after the installation of this patch, only a full reinstall of the game is possible, if you want to keep your previous version you may want to backup the entire game installation folder before applying this patch.

- NOTE: This patch will also update your:

* ARMA 2 1.05 to 1.09.

* ARMA 2 BAF 1.00 to 1.02 if necessary.

* ARMA 2 PMC 1.00 to 1.01 if necessary.
