Wow... thank you very much BIS. This beta patch was amazing, few more FPS and more stable FPS, smoother gameplay too.

Thanks ;)

I keep getting this error....

"C:\Program Files\Steam\steam.exe" -applaunch 33910 -nosplash -cpuCount=2 -mod=beta

Launch it from the "Launch Arma2 with beta patch" shortcut in your steamapps/arma2 dir.

I think.

^^ Correct. You have to launch the beta executable itself. That's not possible via Steam.

Done it, still doesn't work

Target:

"C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2\beta\arma2.exe"

Start in:

"C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2\beta"

Error:

No entry '.profilePathDefault'.

Game then tries to run then shuts down to desk top.

Summery to questions:

Beta patches do not work with Steam???

you need fix your Target with -mod=beta and StartIn to ARMA2

"Start in" must be the normal Arma2 folder, not the beta folder.

Thank you very much for your clear explanation people.

Kind regards,

It creates a shortcut to launch the beta in your \Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 folder.

At least thats what I have been using without any issues.
