What version

Recommended Posts

Hello all:

My first post here.

I purchased the game through Steam a while ago and after spending some time on SP and in the Armory decided to give MP a try however all the servers appear to be unavailable to me.

Two questions: How do I find out what version of ARMA2 I currently have and doesn't Steam automatically update ARMA2?

Thanks in advance for replies. :)

Hi and welcome Gorque,

I also purchased Arma II trough Steam. Steam only update Arma II to version 1.04. Two days before xmas Bis updated Arma II to version 1.05 with a update patch http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_2:_Patch_v1.05

This patch will update your Steam version also. Don't run Steam verify game cache/content utility afterwards ;)

With 1.05 you don't need to have Steam running to play the game.

You can see what version your on in the main menu. Bottom right is the version number. You can also have a beta version at the same time as you have the official version. They dont impose on eachother. When installing the latest beta you will get a separate launch icon. This way you can test all the latest versions of ARMA2 without messing with the latest official version. :) Good stuff.

*Betas are usually released pretty often and they have many improvements over the official version. You can connect with the beta version to servers running the official version. Usually i think most people play with the latest beta thanks to their improvements.

Latest beta patches (top in green) are here: http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php

And welcome!
