Can't Patch to 1.02 or above

[Zachar543 10]

I am getting an error when I try to patch ArmA 2 from 1.01 to 1.04. I got the game from Best Buy here in the US. This is what the window says:

Please be patient. This update may appear to take a long time to complete. It is updating and installing very large data.
ArmA 2: Updateing vestion 1.01 to version 1.04...
Update 1.01-1.02\ADDONS\AIR2.PBO.UPD cannot be applied, error xdelta3 returned error code: 1

It makes a error dialog that says:

Error found in file ADDONS\air2.pbo (00000000!=00000001)

If I press 'ignore' It will go through almost every file

This is a known issues caused during install. It has to do with your DvD drive. In most cases updating the firmware of your DvD drive will fix it, but if it doesn't then you may have to borrow a friends DVD drive or install it over the network.

Having exactly the same problem, when i installed Patch 4 it screwed up my Multiplayer, so I uninstalled the game and wanted to repatch the lot, now I cannot patch anything and have a worthless game. Tried updating DVD driver and was told my drivers are up t:confused date. WTF do I do now? :confused:

Try copying all files to a directory on your hard drive and install the game from there

grab a different drive or get a external dvd and load it that way

Same problem: bought the game through sprocket download, downloaded the patch, and installed it straight away (didn't even start the game for a first try!)
