Dudester 0 Posted July 29, 2007 Does anyone know if i can put my download version of the game onto disc. I am about to buy another motherboard, so i will have to reinstall the game. Also i cannot remember what version i had when i downloaded the game, all i remember is that it was the german one, and i downloaded it last November, i'm thinking that its either 1.01 or 1.02...but what i need to know is, will the 1.08 patch this from the versions i have mentioned, or is there anyother patches i need first. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Infam0us 10 Posted July 29, 2007 Hey, if you still have the original exe that you downloaded when you bought it, that should be fine. You might have a few issues with reactivation, but I'm sure if you email Morphicon ... which are the German distrubtor's of the game, and to my knowledge is the 1.02 version, then you should have no trouble. I personally got a crrc error when I placed it onto a disc, but I hope you are not as unlucky as I am! Seems many here have done what you are describing with no trouble, good luck!

NZXSHADOWS 0 Posted July 29, 2007 yes you can burn your downloaded installation files to a DVD. You can also ask to get a download link to the latest version of ArmA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NZXSHADOWS 0 Posted July 29, 2007 -Ziggy- @ July 29 2007,02:03)]you need to patch 1.02 patch -> 1.05 -> 1.08 Well I bought my copy from Metaboli. I think thats the name. An they gave me an up-todate download version of the game which is 1.08 when i asked for it. So no patching is required as of yet. Just ask who ever you bought the game from an ask if they have a current version for you to download. Sucks if they dont. Since the patches are big in filesize an what not.

Infam0us 10 Posted July 30, 2007 I bought the Czech copy but after two activations it was useless. Even when I asked for more they sent me the same one's over and over. So just bought a hard 505 copy and kept a backup of the patches and works great Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
memnoch 0 Posted July 30, 2007 It's situations like this that makes me wonder why anyone bothers with these releases at all. If they limit how many times you can install the program, how is it these people stay in business? Look at Valve and Steam to see how it's done properly.
