Thanks for all the suggestions, trust me here as I don't want to go through each point by point but I have tried them all, except the download accelerator idea. I don't KNOW I am just questioning if there maybe any issues for others with the installer Nothing else running but system, system health checked ... HDs etc etc, 4 different sources of patch. I am not a computer geek but I have owned and built my pcs for nearly 20 years .... yikes!!! Since game patches were sent to you on 1.44mb disks for free by the companies lol I started on text only RPGs on BBCb, through Elite etc etc What I find bugs me these days with Games is that the GFX seem to come before game play BIS would have been better off extending Flashpoint game play far more than they have and ensuring that in NORMAL settings the game runs smoothly. I had hoped for more 'simulation' but the Helos for example worse than Flashpoint..... any way thats all a different subject. Tried playing with the failed patch and got all the memory, lag and texture problems memtioned elsewhere so I have gone back to 1.04 for now I have sympathy for BIS they have tried, its just seems to have all been about looks and not the gameplay. Modded Flashpoint is a better game COC,SLX etc love the wounded Mod

Thanks for the suggestion I and updating 1.04-1.05 from the DVD so its not quite the same issue. I kept trying reinstall and Oh so close!!!!!!!! Just 3 files!! --------------------------------- Please be patient. This update may appear to take a long time to complete. It is updating and installing very large data. European DVD Version Verifying ArmA: Armed Assault, version 1.05... Error found in file AddOns\voice.pbo (9b13ca6f!=708b87f5) Error found in file Campaigns\ca.pbo (bd5e7c33!=ead91e74) Some error occurred during patch installation. Patch file is probably dammaged. You may need to download it again. Error in file 1.05, phase 10. --------------------------------------- BTW I noticed that each failed patch file after the patch process has now an associated tmp file in its folder eg ca.pbo (119,529kb)......CA.PBO.tmp(40,960kb) presumably this is the replacement data, so why is it written to disk as a separate tmp file even though the patch fails on that file ...odd! It would be kind if someone could help me out and supply me with the patched files,then I wouldn't have to keep on trying reinstalling over and over its been 8 times already and who knows how long it will take BI to address this issue especially as its not affecting everyone. just 3 files needed pls....... ca.pbo ..............119,529kb voice.pbo ............22,147kb voice.pbo.bi.bisign .......1kb

Bugged installer? Could BI consider releasing a download of the pbo's separately or an alternate .exe or something perhaps debugging the installer? I have Downloaded 5 versions of the patch, reinstalled the game each time, Reg cleaned, cleaned all references to the demo etc etc any ideas? here are just the first few error msgs, each time it seems to be different the latest included the weapons/misc/plants/ca/sara pbo's and varying xdelta3 errors. 505 retail DVD, Clean install, ie no mods etc worked fine ------------------------------------------------------------------ Euro Patch...ignored errors Please be patient.
