will there be a 1.07 standalone patch ?

or only a 1.05 --> 1.07 update ?

the readme is for a complete update since it mentions the previously included fixes as well. it'll probably be out later today.

Yes but 1.00-1.07 is 321mb so will take some time to mirror compared to 1.05-1.07

[maddogx 13]

gameupdates.org plz. hurry hurry! :)

[hamm 10]

Thanks BIS for another amazing update! I was wondering, when will 1.07 be out on Steam? I'm always scared of Steam since it made me redownlaod the whole game for having 1.05.

[maddogx 13]

Patch build is 71750. Weapon recoil fix is in 71752... so not in this patch. :(

Will we be getting it in a future beta patch (hopefully very soon), or is it basically OA exclusive?

[swtx 42]

I was wondering, when will 1.07 be out on Steam?

+ One :D

Would like to know as well :)

[eJay 1]

You can use this patch on Steam Version. It's flexible.

Hey guys,

Just downloaded and installed the patch. When I go to the Online screen, I get a message saying "Update 1.05 is available at www.arma2.com". It isn't worth creating a ticket regarding my opinion, but it can be quite bothering and hope this issue is correctable without releasing another patch.

That sounds like a gamespy issue. They will probably correct it ASAP.

Car horn now played in MP... YEEESSSSS!!! :) Have been waiting for this since OFP.

When will the MP bug regarding "team members unable to disembark from a vehicle non local to their leader" be fixed?

Look forward to trying this patch.

[sparks50 0]

Laggy the car horn over MP was in Armed Assault too, at least after some patches.

[Zipper5 74]

Also, look what else is finally fixed:

Way to go, BIS. ;)

[roberthammer 582]

Also they fixed buggy M9 SD or G36 SD sights :p

[NeMeSiS 11]
