Same old problem on new patches??

[Juppie 10]

Hello

i just got arma 2 a few days ago, and today i installed and updated to 1.05,

applied no dvd (i prefer gta iv disk in my comp all the time so i wont lose it :p ) and then i try to launch the game and i get error : Unable to compile shader pixel then something wierd, all i understood it was about some tree..

Okay, i reinstalled, same problem.

Then i reinstalled and applied patch 1.04, applied nodvd and STILL!

Then i got pissed, googled the error for 2 hours, and all i found is that this problem exists in patch 1.03 ONLY! (all threads about it were so old and about 1.03)

What is wrong?

Then i checked my exe version and i found this: File Version: 1.1.0.57631

Now, WHAT THE HELL!?

:confused: :confused: :confused:

Is what i have installed is version 1.1??

Specs:

Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 @ 2.80 Ghz

2GB DDRII RAM

NVIDIA GeForce 8400GS

And the only way i ran the game is by reinstalling and using 1.0 no dvd german (altough game was still on English somehow)) I obviously dont have any mods *LOL*

Doesnt 1.05 remove the need of disc?

The beta's do however. Using no DVD files from somewhere wont be very good for you. Test the latest beta: http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php

It installs as a separate launch icon so you have the 1.05 left untouched.

Applied a No DVD crack? if so then stop using cracks ffs!

FYI: patch 1.05 removes the need of having the DVD in your drive.

Oh yea,

now its solved:

Earlier i launched the patch and it says "Extracting..."

After extract reaches 100% it dissappears!

FUCKING MAGIC!

*NOT*!

Now i launched it again and oh oh oh, look!!!!

Its a fucking magical patching window!!!!!

Please be patient. This update may appear to take a long time to complete. It is updating and installing very large data.

ARMA II DVD

ArmA 2: Updating version 1.01 to version 1.05...
