craig.knight58 10 Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) I have checked old threads but cannot understand whether I can patch OA from current version (1.51.71083) directly to 1.60. This installation has taken a long time and I want to get it right. I have installed so far as per following: Installed Arma 2(DVD Retail:505 Games) and ran game Patched to 1.05 Installed Arma 2 OA Installed BAF & PMC (DVD retail) Currently Arma 2 is 1.06 version and OA is 1.51.7103 Do I now just install patch 1.60 even though patch notes state 1.50 to 1.60? I am running Windows 8.1. Really sorry if this has been asked before but cannot find any advice for 1.51.7803 updates.

columdrum 11 Posted February 18, 2014 The correct install oder it's: 1- Install A2 2-Install OA, if posible on the same dir to avoid future posible issues with launchers 3-Install DLCs 4- Install 1.60( the 1.60 patch its a standalone patch it should update any OA version to 1.60) 5- Install 1.62, this is the current stable version If you find any signature issue with the DLC download and install the DLC updates( i think its baf 1.1 and dunno if other dlcs have also patchs) All this if you have DvD retail version or digital download version. If you have steam version, steam should already get the lastest version, so you shouldn't apply any patch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
craig.knight58 10 Posted February 18, 2014 Thanks for reply. I am downloading the 1.60 patch now (very slowly). My sluggish broadband is regularly below 1Mb per second so this is quite a lengthy process. While I mention this: is my broadband speed going to make online play completely impractical? I have just bought a £1000 pound rig (I was going to self build but the cost saving for the pre built i5 4670k + GTX 760+ awesome monitor made pre-built a no brainer) specifically to play Arma1, 2 & 3. I was a massive fan of the original OFP and was planning to complete all the singleplayer content to brush up before I blundered online. I have also bought Arma Armed Assault Gold edition. Do you suggest starting with Arma 1 before stepping up to Arma 2? I know this is off-topic and probably the wrong place to ask. Apologies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe98 92 Posted February 18, 2014 There is no benefit in starting with Arma 1. It is older technology and you will not learn anything that makes Arma 2 any easier to learn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
