Sprocket download fixed for me

[AsRock+SD 0]

Ok, go though the whole thing again and game works perfect for me again.

Installed game ( v1.02 )

Arma version 1.02 6th-ArmA-1.02_CZECH_TO_ENG.exe only ( Make a backup): game crashed within 5 minutes

Tryed to install Starforce: Failed due to not having any drivers installed.

Uninstalled 6th-ArmA-1.02_CZECH_TO_ENG.exe by copy contents from PatchWise.bak folder to the arma folder.

Installed CZ patch 1.02 ( DVD Version ): Got 2 errors select ignore for both if it happens to you.

( game should not run at this time )

Install patch again select Online version: Got 2 errors select ignore for both if it happens to you.

Install 6th-ArmA-1.02_CZECH_TO_ENG.exe again...

Play game..

Don't forget to backup your profile..

Example: D:\Documents and Settings\Your Account\My Documents\ArmA Other Profiles\

EDIT: at this time game running great for the last 45 mins.

to update SF drivers download always latest version from

http://www.star-force.com/support/sfdrvup.zip

yet Sprocket version should not contain SF at all ...

it uses Softwrap ...

Yes i know. but solved my crashes in MP games by having Starforce installed.

Still no crashes 3 hours later and i was getting them from 5mins to 1hour it surly crash.

Now it don't works for me till softwrap works correctly . Other thing i don't think Softwrap is to good with XP x64..

I'll try that if i ever need to reinstall game. Well it gotta beat installing patches over patches right :P..

Just saying whot i found is all not my fault it works for me lol.....

Hi AsRock,

Yet an interesting find regarding the Sprocket version! Have you e-mailed this information to BIS and IDEA/Sprocket?

Since one of the reason I bought the downloadable Sprocket version was just to avoid the StarForce DRM I'm not very keen on trying this myself at the moment. Trying to stay patience but now hoping for a reaction from BIS and/or Sprocket since this MP CTD issue has been a PITA since mid December.

@this topic

AsRock did have some problems and asked me to post this here.........so any comments should be directed to him, I am just the messenger.

Quote[/b] ]No i i have not e-mailed BI about it. i'll do that now....

And  yeah it was the reason i got the sprocket version too.  BUT the starforce is not coursing any problems with my comp  well for now at least.

I did hear that the Sprocket version has a phone home part to it and if blocked it makes problems.  Not sure if that true or not.  Allso with me using  Xp x64 maybe the Sprocket protection is not compatable...

I have crashes still. But way far from as much as i used to get. Was getting crashes before with in a hour but most within 5-15 mins. Now it seems if it going crash it's about 30mins+.

1st time i did this though it never crashed at all, Maybe the installer is faulty too ?.

Sprocket is just plain buggy.... a rip off... Man i cant belive i wasted 100 dollars for a Single player game...
