Where to buy ??

[sniperandy 0]

Yes they don't show it at all now.

Best guess, the Publisher pulled it after they learned that they send it all over the place and that they seem to be the only czech shop that had a english language option.

or they are out of stock and for that they pulled it... we will see...

I bought it today but I think it said in czech that it is a preorder for dec 10, but when you choose english... It just says......"Sorry this item is not available at this moment"

but you can still order it....

I tried to order from www.amazon.de using my English account, but once I tried to use my US shipping address, I hit a brick wall.

I also tried looking on several CZ sites that were advertised on ofp.info, but I couldn't read a thing.

I asked one of the regulars on my server about buying a German version and shipping it over since he lives there, but he pointed to www.buyarma.com and I was able to order a German version.  I know I'm taking a small risk since it's not like buying from Amazon, but since you can use PayPal, and it protects you, I don't think there's much risk involved.

This version oughta tide me over until a NA version is released at some point.  Hopefully it won't use Starforce either.

i am also planing on getting one on buyarma.com

as soon as i get my credit card statment(online or print, better online as it take me to dec 10+ for the print one), might be some risk but thats just $65 or so (been in deeper trouble b4, salse business you know)

by the way how much did i really have to pay on such way?

8.5+45.90+4.0+8.5=66.9........oh wait i forgot about the currency issus

hkd$669 for a game, and not to talk about the new computer powerful to run it smooth and nice

By "DVD thing" I take it you mean DVD drive? ( )

You can't play it unless you have an up-to-date DVD drive as it's a DVD ROM game

I see a lot of ppl complaining that the 1/6th of the world is able to play ArmA, while all the English players are not!

This complaint is false and it isn't nececairy to wait anymore!!! DONT WAIT

You can get the game right now, from a Czech or German shop, whichever you prefer, and CONVERT the game <span style='color:red'>FULLY into English</span>... (German patcher is on the way, released in a few days).

THERE IS <span style='color:red'>NO NEED TO WAIT</span>, GET ARMA NOW FROM ONE OF THE SHOPS YOU PREFER: ( they all send across the world!! )

Germany:

www.bol.de

www.amazon.de

( Know another shop?! Post it ASAP! )

Czech::

www.bontonland.cz

(Know another shop?! Post it ASAP ! )

Can´t pay online etc?

You probably got friends around the globe somewhere, see if they can get it and send it to you! Easy money transfers are usually done through paypal, and as I know for almost sure... you can transfer money for FREE throughout whole europe just by bank transfers!!

FAQ:

Yeah, when BIS releases a patch, it will probably check the version you're running as well as every single file in your installation folder. What if it refuses to patch because some files are edited?

Then you follow my readme in how to put back the backuped files or the files that are on your dvd, both described in my readme. Besides, I don't know how legal it will be to copy the real BIS released English files from your friends copy to your copy when the English one get's released..

BTW, afaik... it doesn´t check all the files in your installation folder, but only the files that the patch applies to.

And what about the anti cheat thing ?

We are working on methods on how to convert the game to English without having to patch the bin.pbo and the language.pbo,  this will solve anticheat troubles, on servers that specifially check the bin.pbo and the language.pbo if they have changed..

And what if a patch is released ? I have to wait untill you release a language patch for a game I have bought ?

[sickboy 13]

And what if a patch is released ? I have to wait  untill you release a language patch for a game I have bought ?

True, I will have to release a new patch, depending on what BIS patches, but this can be done fast and without too much delay. Besides, my work is now on the streets... at this moment I don´t want anyone else to fiddle or re-release it, but if I would not be able to create a patch in a normal time space, it´s going to be easy to change the license of my patch and let the work be continued by others that are in the same boat.

Don't know why a lot of people are complaining about release dates. Oke if you live in the US I can understand, but for the people who are waiting for the 505 release. CMON! We have waited this long, so a couple of months isn't a really big problem anymore....

That's for another topic. This topic is for ppl that DO want the game right now m8

Right . Sorry, but had to say that.

New where to buy type thread merged into existing where to buy thread.

I have asked a number of times that certain sites should not be advertised on these forums due to there being little recourse in the (probably unlikely) event of there being a complaint about payment or delivery or such.

it's not a problem but it sure as hell is a pain in the arse when i see how excellent ArmaA is.

Thanks for the links sickboy, i'll try and get it delivered to Australia (amazon.de won't so maybe bol.de or maybe the czech version instead cause the german one seems buggered brutally by securom or whatever protection system it uses.)

Quote[/b] ]cause the german one seems buggered brutally by securom or whatever protection system it uses

that has been fixed with the patch. most people are rather pleased with it now unless they run hardware on the limit and still think they have to see further than 4000m or so...

[froggyluv 2130]

Does anyone know how big the D/L is for the German version on-line?

[anders^on 0]

For the record:

Quote[/b] ]Morphicon put up a website for purchasing and directly downloading ArmA online. Since it's been sent to me by Morphicon, I'm asuming that it's not against the rules to write about it.

Buy & Download German Armed Assault

Please read carefully and make up your own mind before you order a copy.

Does anyone know how big the D/L is for the German version on-line?

It's in two parts. One is 0,97GB and the other 1,63GB.
