I have just bought ArmA Armed Assult: Gold Edition. By 505 Games
After some confusion, I dowloaded 3 patches. From http://www.armedassault.com/dwnl_update.html#int114
http://www.armedassault.com/dwnl_update.html#euro105 << I did not fully download this, so I could not try it. As I finally found the game version to be 1.08
http://www.armedassault.com/dwnl_update.html#int108
http://www.armedassault.com/dwnl_update.html#int114
Trying 1.05 and 1.08 returns the error 'arma is not installed on your computer or is corrupted'
After finally finding the game version in the readme and it says: ***** ARMA: GOLD EDITION Sprocket Version 1.08 *****
Then trying http://www.armedassault.com/dwnl_update.html#int114
I receive the same error.
Putting the patch in the ArmA install location and trying to patch that way doesn't work.
I did rename the shortcut, as described here: Adjust ArmA shortcut to include -maxmem=512
I am running Windows Vista 64Bit (Worst mistake ever!).
With the hardware specs of:
GA-X48-DS4 Motherboard
Q9550 2.83 Ghz 12MB L2 Cache CPU
4 Gb Corsair Dominator 1066 Mhz RAM
HD4850 x2 in Crossfire
Zalman Reserator XT Water Cooling
Kingwin 800 Watt Mach 1 Modular
Western Digital 500 Gb 7,200 RPM
Can someone point me in the correct direction?
