TRexian 0 Posted December 27, 2009 There's got to be a better answer than to over-write the files (or ignore them). I've tried a complete reinstall and it still throws errors.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Winchester Delta_1 0 Posted December 30, 2009 Ok i fixed the errors... But its the weirdest thing ever. First i start with my specs. I have a intel i7 9800 GTX+ running Windows 7 64 bits with ARMA 2 on steam and 4GB internal mem. You know i tried evrything what was suggested on these forums. Nothing helped. I was on the brink to reinstall the whole system. But before i wanted to do that i wanted to play some Rainbow Six vegas on STEAM. STEAM told me there was a update ready for install (just normal STEAM UPDATE). I needed to restart steam to apply it. So i restart STEAM. When it was about to load up STEAM crashed and winows gave me a error message.. i was like WTF is this. That night i tried evrything to get it to work. Again i was on the brink of reinstalling my whole system. Cause i didn't tought i never could got it to work. I made a backup of my entire STEAM folder. Just did one last check if my corrupted STEAM worked in save mode like a friend suggested... And WTF... the corrupted STEAM worked in save mode. I was like yes... tried to update ARMA 1.05 patch... And it failed with the same errors (in save mode). I go back to my normal windows mode and try to start corrupted STEAM, but that failed again. At that moment i tought some proces or program in the background caused steam to crash. Than i accidently start up the backup version of STEAM (exact copy of the corrupted STEAM). And WTF.. it worked again. Updated normally evrything. Than i was like hmmm maybe the patch for ARMA2 will work now. I verified the ARMA2 files, that where offcourse on the backup STEAM and let it download the files he could not verify. (I did this numoures times with the not working STEAM when it was still working, but never could get it to work like that). After i verified the files so it was registered in the registry, i applied the patch and never got those error messages again. So the fix for it was. Copy your entire STEAM folder to another location on your Hard drive verify your ARMA2 game files in that copy so the system knows it is on that location now. And than run patch 1.05 for ARMA2.. (don't reinstall STEAM entirely.) I got it to work like this on accident.. hope it will work for you guy's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SGT_2AD 10 Posted January 4, 2010 I too had this issue. 1. Closed out system tray items like ATI CAT, and Marvel Tray 2. Uninstalled ArmA 2 from C:\Program files directory 3. Reinstalled ArmA to C:\Program files (x86) directory 4. Ran same patch file without error. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marmach 10 Posted July 24, 2010 @SGT_2AD This solution worked perfectly for me, thx. After installation I've patched the game (1.00 to 1.07), changed name of Arma directory, uninstalled the game, installed it again at a chosen location and then swapped folders (Win7 64).

babyloncome 3 Posted June 2, 2012 In the hope that someone reads this... I've been playing Arma2 (CO) for several years now and in that time have reinstalled with no problems what so ever. However, just bought a brand new system as follows: CPU = AMD FX 4170 RAM = 6GB DDR3 1600 Corsair Vengance MB = ASRock 9900 Extreme 3 GPU = GeForece 295 GTX (from my old system) OS = Win 7 64 Pro SSD = OCZ Agaility 3 120GB Have been trying for 4 nights now to get A2 to patch from original disc install with no success. Have reinstalled Windows 3 times, tried all sorts of configs, ensured that no over-clocking is in place but I keep failing the patches on the same files every time. Have downloaded patches from various different mirros just keep getting the same error "xdelta3".... Here's what I have tried: Install A2 Install OA - it then tries to patch A2 to 1.06 (fails) Have also tried: Install A2 Run game Install OA - fails on patch. Have also tried installing 1.05, 1.07 & 1.08 patch after installing A2 but still fails on every patch I try.... BI - Please help...... Someone please help me, I am getting Arma2 withdrawls and bought this new rig just for it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
