At first i thought that this was a good patch, but i was wrong =(

This was supposed to be an AH1:

Seems to be running fine on mine... 505 DVD, 1.05 updated to 1.08.

Had problem initially cos I used a backup with a hacked ca.pbo, gave the

error xdelta3 returned error code

error on that pbo.

Solution was to put the non-hacked one back in and install then went smoothly.

So: to anyone getting the xdelta error, make sure you are running a full non-hacked and clean installation of ArmA 1.05 before applying the 1.08 patch. You would have got a pbo warning which you had skipped first before you got that error that terminated your install.

Probably DON'T need to re-download your patch, but a clean reinstall would help you.

Don't forget to backup your player ID if you are in a clan and / or use custom squad.xml!

Those are exactly that type of errors i had, until i changed the texture detail.

Try that, it could help.

I changed the texture.

The first pic it's normal, since my 6800 only has 128MB, i have a lot of problems when playing with textures in normal.

I usualy play with textures set to low.

The second one the texture it's set to low.

And as i said i never had this problem before. And i always played with textures set to low.

try lowering your graphics maybe (yeah i know amazing to do that with GF8 GTX.. but well cost nothing to give it a try)

edit : and you can also try to update directx 9 to last version

[DeadlyAvenger 0]

I can confirm I've had it bomb out after about 15mins on single player, blood, sweat and tears mission.

One thing I did notice, my keys were acting up, had to go in, hit defaults and set them up again.

Worth trying that if you, as I did, keep rolling to the left when you go prone!!!

For a second I thought that second image was some cool new dynamics engine for blowing up buildings!!!

LOL!

I'm getting alot of error messges when installing the patch. Does the Eurpeon patch associated with the UK version? I have the UK version. Well, I'm on my way to reinstall ArmA.

[DrBobcat 0]

As mentioned many times previously in this thread, my game refuses to run. The hourglass icon becomes visible for three to five seconds and then disappears. The disk drive is called but no check-box series appears nor does a spinning disk icon. I've updated to the newest nVidia video card drivers, directX, and also replaced my openAL as told. No change in behavior or outcome. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.

@ DrBobcat

Did the patch displayed the correct Version of Arma when running?

[chammy 7]

wow, a double post........deleted

[chammy 7]

Well I got it to work, BUT:

Soldier is displayed without his rifle, and shoots from chest.

The Javelin 's HUD is still not present when using it.

Only teh HUD for tanks is available and nothing showing the inside of the cockpit, even when you are assigned driver, you are looking outside the cockpit.

[Misfit Leader 1]

I've noticed something strange ingame with the silenced rifle (M4QSD2 ?) the gun don't aim on the red dot of the aimpoint ironsight, it always hit over that dot (not when you are close to a wall for sure).

Am i alone to have that new strange thing ??

I have not done that yet, but I will now.

My game does not even get to the splash screen, let alone past it. How would I be able to see what version the game sees itself as, eh? That aside, the patcher does say that it applied the patch without any errors. I completely uninstalled the game, ran a few different registry cleaners, reinstalled, and the same problem occurred.
