Jinef 2 Posted February 16, 2007 No, 1.04 is not backwards compatible with 1.02. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forrestal 0 Posted February 16, 2007 You can have 2 diferent wersions. Just instal ArmA 1.02 go to registry and export registry key from "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA" to file named armacz.reg and when you want put it on the desktop. Then instal ArmA 1.04 to different folder then the 1.02 version. And also export the same registry key nad save like armaen.reg. Put it on desktop and now you play on 1.02 and 1.04. But before starting the 1.02 version add the registry key form armacz.reg to your registry just by clicking the file, start the game from the 1.02 folder and you have 1.02 version in Czech launguage. When you want play 1.04 add to registry the key from armaen.reg and start the game from the 1.04 directory and you have 1.04 in english You can check smoething. When you start a 1.04 but in registry is key from 1.02 you can play 1.04 but in czech languge and Player ID from czech version. And similar when you run 1.02 version when key from 1.04 is in registry. This works for my and my czech and polish versions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My_Shortcoming 0 Posted February 16, 2007 Alcohol, the ultimate answer. I'm probably going to uninstall my German version and install the English version when it turns up either tomorow or monday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kind O.T but: I see you have both versions, do you notice any performance increase in the UK release?

terox 316 Posted February 17, 2007 look folks, BIS probably didnt have any say in the release date of 505, nor the german or czech releases and the time that (what is in reality a small team) they have, to fix bugs has to be prioritised to some extent maybe they could have released a 1,04 patch but with a 1.05 just around the corner, is it really worth getting your spotty faced teenage knickers in a twist. They are afterall running a business not a charity and will fix the important issues on a priority basis Could you have done much better?? I doubt it The fact that you are on this thread means you would have bought it anyway regardless of whether the dedi server is ready for your version or not... play the bloody campaign why dont ya hell my community is waiting for the linux release which isnt going to be for some time yet and we aint whining over it, it will be ready when it is ready Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
