Realjambo 0 Posted August 9, 2007 I understand (after much reading) that I need the 1.05 patch, then the 1.08 patch and then the 1.08 hotfix to run ArmA. What a fuss just to get the game running! When I go to install 1.08 after having installed 1.05 I get this message from WinRar: ! E:\Documents and Settings\Ant\Desktop\ArmA_InternationalUpdate105_108.zip: Unexpected end of archive So I wanted to ask, have I downloaded the wrong version of the 1.08 patch? My copy of the game has the '505 Games' logo on it, and given I'm in the UK, I assume I am to use the European Patch versions This is driving me nuts, so any help would be appreciated. I am one of the many who can't get this game t run after install and I suspect it's my Creative X-Fi but I won't know until I've got all the correct patches installed. Thanks for your time, I hope someone will help me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ti0n3r Posted August 9, 2007 The file is obviously corrupted. Re-download it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Realjambo 0 Posted August 9, 2007 Hi, Thanks for that - I am downloading it again. This is the third different website I am downloading it from, and I've got the right patch have I? - it's the 'International update 105-108' and it's 600mb. The 1.05 patch is definitely the 'European Update 104-105' - that's installed./ So in theory these should work together? Thanks again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Infam0us 10 Posted August 9, 2007 Indeed the 505 is the English version of ArmA. Your download sounds corrupt by the error message you give, so redownload it and it should work fine. And yes you are looking for the international update 105 - 108, all the best with the game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MeNeZ 0 Posted August 9, 2007 I've got a small problem...I had to re-install but I cant remember exactly what order I did it I have the German version and I used to English patch but now when I try, the securocom software pops up and tells me that i the disk isn't inserted. But when I dont use the English patch the game starts fine. I tried that hotfix but it didn't work. And I have re-installed countless times. I installed 1.01, then 1.02 then 1.02 german to english patch, then 1.05, then 1.05 - 1.08 I guess I'm gonna have to learn German for the time being lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know this is a pain in the arse, but have you tried running the game at each stage, ie - try it after you install 1.05, 1.08 etc? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
