Do you got 100kb for each file or for both files? I get about 50kb for each file ... kind of boring when I could get 800kb+ ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

evilnate 0 Posted December 2, 2006 ONLINE DISTRIBUTION USERS!!! Do NOT apply the 1.01 patch to this game as it already comes to you as version 1.01! The protection is STARFORCE. If you happen to get a securom error on startup, reinstall, and don't install the 1.01 patch again. Have fun playing armed assault like me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teaser 0 Posted December 2, 2006 Morphicon apparently also distributes online via a service called metaboli.. http://boutique.gamesplanet.com/campagn....eu=Arma https://buy.metaboli.com/vnt....page=en I thought it was only distributed via sprocket?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lethal 0 Posted December 2, 2006 What versions (in which countrys) the ArmA gonna have Star Force and where don't? i downloaded the german version from morphicon and it seems that version uses starforce online authentication. i hear that the regular german release uses securom and the czech regular starforce. i have no problem with my version that seems related to the CP used as of yet. @murks: they do accept bank transfer but i don't know how that works if you're not located in ger. maybe somebody else knows if thats an option for you?

Placebo 28 Posted December 2, 2006 I thought it was only distributed via sprocket?! The BIS version is to be distributed via Sprocket, this is something Morphicon are doing on their own with the German version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BTK 0 Posted December 2, 2006 Hello. I opened a thread, this one: http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin....t=55200 You can buy ArmA online there, German version. What I want to know is if there will be any problems patching this one, if you need any special kind of patch, like when you buy from Direct2Drive official patches doesn't work. Now, I was told in that thread before it was locked (I was told to go here) that the 1.01 patch is included, and that is fine, but what about future patches? Also, do you get a serial so you can play online? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heatseeker 0 Posted December 2, 2006 So... the whole world can purchase Arma online from Morphicon (download), but only in German... i thought they could only distribute Arma in their region. This seems kind of crap since they werent capable (or willing) to publish the game in more areas, if they are selling it all over the world they should atleast have an english version available, instead people are buying the german version rellying on an unofficial language conversion patch.. Doesnt seem wright, since it might affect IDEA's sprocket distribution and other publishers sales numbers, someone got greedy imo . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are people all over the world looking forward to Arma's release and once this gets spread... keep in mind other releases are only expected to take place in february next year. If Morphicon got worldwide distribution wrights they should distribute english and other language versions too or atleast a official language patch . I think i will wait for sprocket instead .

The OFP fanbase is fairly small compared to the total share of the market. Most people will probably just buy it after they read a review or see it in the shop. And also remember that when people really want it earlier they'd rather download it from an illegal source than a legal one. One it won't cost you shit and second it's much easier.

I'm inclined to agree with heatseeker here as ironsight is right about the amonut being sold to non-german speeking customers may be a small percentage but it'll still eat into 505s market. I'll just wait for the 505 SE.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
