I have the german downloaded version 1.01 of Arma (official)
The 2 installation files are ok (100% no crc errors, downloaded with getright)
Installation went fine, but when applying the language patch 0.8 I get error "crc error in ca.pbo" and something about "integrity check failed..." all other parts went ok (language.bin, missions etc...), then the ca.pbo is missing.
Another try: I copied unpatched 1.01 game to a different hd partition and I still get the same errors but the patcher 0.8 patches the ca.pbo ok...??
I´ve also tried earlier versions of the lang.patch and I always get the same errors in ca.pbo?
Partition is 20GB in size and only Arma is installed on it...defragged and all is ok no bad sectors...as mentioned the 2 installation files ARE 100% OK!
I also installed the entire game on my notebook and patcher 0.8 works without errors!!!
Is there a hardware related bug in the language patch or what gives??? (antivirus / nero / chipset )
Although my ArmA 1.01 is now fully english(copied ca.pbo from notebook to my game rig) I´m concerned if the future BIS patches will refuse to install because of that ca.pbo problem.
