Patch 1.07 installation

[sampat1 10]

Hi guys, wondering if I could get some help with this patch, I'm having a lot of trouble.

I did a clean install of the game tried updating it with the 1.00-1.07 (the 321mb file). However I got a few error messages along the lines of,

Update 1.04-1.05\ADDONS\A10.PBO.UPD cannot be applied, error xdelta3 returned error code: 1

Update 1.04-1.05\ADDONS\AIR.PBO.UPD cannot be applied, error xdelta3 returned error code: 1

Update 1.04-1.05\ADDONS\AIR2.PBO.UPD cannot be applied, error xdelta3 returned error code: 1

Update 1.04-1.05\ADDONS\AIR3.PBO.UPD cannot be applied, error xdelta3 returned error code: 1

Update 1.04-1.05\ADDONS\ANIMALS2.PBO.UPD cannot be applied, error xdelta3 returned error

However the files that the error affects seem to be different each time. I then tried updating it from 1.00 to 1.05 in mind to go from 1.05 - 1.07 after. Again I got the same error messages although regarding different files.

I've re-downloaded the files and uninstalled and reinstalled the game several times but still the problem persists. I've nearly put a fist through my monitor so any help would be really appreciated.

thanks

Are you using Vista or Win7? Right click the patcher and run with administrator privileges... but at this point you probably need to re-do a fresh install first. I don't understand why it's saying your game is 1.04. Where did you get the game?

Ye using win 7 64 bit. Game was from Amazon and shows 1.03 build on the start up. I worked fine up my old system but I just upgraded to play on better settings. thanks for your reply

Another possibility could be an unstable OC of your CPU?! -If this is the case, go back to default settings and try to install the patch.

After it you can go back to your old (OC)settings.

In future, be sure you do a stable OC (-test it with prime95, etc).

System is overclocked (was planning on doing it if the game ran too slow).

Just formatted my system so now Arma 2 is installed as pure as it could be...downloaded the patch 1.00-1.07 and still get the same error messages. Any more ideas?

You say you bought it from Amazon, but 1. which version of the game is it? and 2. are you sure it's genuine?

[sampat1 10]

100% positive that the game is genuine, I had the same copy running fine and my old system, its 505 version. Its getting even more bizarre now. I formatted my system again and did another fresh install of arma and the game won't even load up at all, no error messages or anything. I have emailed 505 games to see if they can shed any light on this.

My system specs are;

Win 7 64 bit

i7 920

6gb Ram

HD 4890

td;lr game would'nt patch, formatted drive and fresh installed game, now game wont load up at all

EDIT: When I try to install the game now everythings goes fine, but at the very end i receive and error message saying directx failed to install. (I already have directx 11 installed).

thanks for help
