mcarma 19 Posted July 19, 2010 To execute this version of the game my OA path is 'I:\Program files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2OA.exe'. The beta instructions refer to this folder which doesn't exist with my version of the game - 'ARMA 2 Operation Arrowhead'. So I am confused as to where the beta patch will put everything. I have the retail version, not the Steam version. Anyone using the latest beta with the Combined Operations retail version please tell me how the beta should be installed. Thanks.

PuFu 4599 Posted July 19, 2010 Your beta is in \ArmA2\Expansion\beta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeerHunter 0 Posted July 19, 2010 And the short cut you HAVE to use to start the beta is in you main ArmA2 path. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mcarma 19 Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) This beta patch states that it will update the game to 1.52. But I am already at that version without ever having installed this beta. The instructions for using folders do not match my game folders. ---------- Post added at 10:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 AM ---------- Ok ran the beta install and the beta is here -- \ArmA2\Expansion\beta ARMA2_OA_Build_72107 Created a link to it and it just gets an error stating 'No entry '.profilePathDefault'. What does that mean? If I continue it just creates a screen with some different colored boxes. ---------- Post added at 10:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 AM ---------- And the short cut you HAVE to use to start the beta is in you main ArmA2 path. That doesn't execute the beta executable. Launching the game using this 'Launch Arma2 OA Beta Patch' works!!

BeerHunter 0 Posted July 19, 2010 Did exactly the same thing ( created a short cut to the beta .exe.) and got the exact same error message. You have to use the shortcut found in your ArmA2 folder to run the beta patched version but see you figured it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PogMoThoin 10 Posted July 19, 2010 See, along with running the beta .exe, You need to be running the beta folder as a mod with the "-mod=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion" parameter which the 'Launch Arma2 OA Beta Patch' shortcut found in Your Arma2 directory has already in its parameters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
