Arma 2: Acr & co

Recommended Posts

hello,

i would like to know if there will be a patch which makes ARMA 2 combined operations work with the last DLC the ACR one so when i start combined ops i can use the stuff from this DLC like the stuff from BAF and PMC.

I know there is a patch but make the units be on low definition and not in HD for those who bought the DLC.

Also steam has never applied the patch and i would like to be able to use it with combined ops and the mods.

Where did you purchase ACR from? I have found that to use ACR content I have to load the content as if it was a mod. I dont know if this is because I have a steam install of CO and bought ACR from the BI store.

Steam is a plague on ArmA.

Start it with PlaywithSix or search the forums. There are all the hints and tools needed to start ArmAII:CO with all DLCs and leave Steam behind.

i bought the DLC in steam, like the game, but i mean any server from CO got the DLC activated so they cant spawn any ACR vehicle or soldier :(

Steam is not a plague for ArmA 2 or ArmA. Everything has always worked fine.

All I have to do is launch Operation Arrowhead from steam and all DLCs are loaded automatically. Including vanilla ArmA 2.

Oh and what about beta versions, tons of mods, dedicated server and so on?

To clarify: I own the steam version of ArmA:CO+all DLCs myself and I never had a problem. But only because I do not use steam...

if you use arma launcher, and start arma 2: CO for use mods with the DLCs, the CO start the PMC, BAF but not the ARC DLC

IIRC this is due to a technical reason, that IIRC BI has already stated.

That is not possible with this DLC. As it requires content from A2 and OA. Same as above, its due to technical reasons. There wont be a "lite" one included in a patch. There is a separate "lite" patch download. But they cannot include it in a big game patch to patch the whole game. If you know what I mean. Like you said, I just use ARMA Launcher to launch ACR as a mod. I never use STEAM to launch ARMA, as of course with mods, its a PIA.

Steam is a plague on ArmA.

But i have yet to have a problem with ARMA & STEAM related, and many others in my group & friends haven't.. So that's just you.
