Snots

I think its justified to say BIS gives us our money's worth and to ATI, Nividia, Intel and AMD, the ArmA series is one of the main targets besides some flight sims for all my PC hardware upgrades. I never expect a PC-only sim to be glossy and finished on release because we'd never get it and also developement, time costs would outway content... hmm i guess anyway. Its a shame on some of the game sites that ArmA 2 doesnt get a mention. Thanks to BIS and the beta testers for 1.60 :)

Very impressed with the game and the support BIS. Looks like the AI are going to give us some payback now !

2nd that Recta DP and i suggest a small laptop until Dslyecxi prints and if he ever does considering whats happening with digital books. I have a 12" notebook which i use for this great guide and flight sims etc. By the way i use my TIR5 as infantry on the move heaps better now and wouldnt be without it especially when crossing a open area. Just had to stick with it and tweak :) thanks Dslyecxi

Whats the condition of the disc and have you given it a polish with a dvd cleaning cloth. If there is a scratch or blemish then try taking it to a video rental shop and get it machine polished in one of the disc cleaners... they look like a pc. Is your dvd drive faulty which i doubt unless that is the message is different every time and then i would be looking at that. If all that is verified and you still get the same message all the time i'd be looking for another dvd to install from so if a friend has one try that but use your license key. Transfer all your dvd content to one of your hard drives and install from there but youll have to look up how to do that. At wits end ! .... Im not sure if thisll work with a dvd purchase but it should becuase i read in these forums that you can get the install files from anywhere so long as you have a legit license key. Anyway try downloading the sprocket install files to your HD and install from there.... ill pm you a link unless you can find one closer and youll need the setup.exe and all the bin files from setup01.bin - setup07.bin. The md5 setup and sub files are to check the downloaded files but ive never used it so youll have to look up md5 and how to use it if you want to verify the files downloaded. pm sent...

Patch 1.00 - 1.09 brings all versions up to 1.09 Quote:This is the official update for Arma 2 from 1.00 version to 1.09. http://www.arma2.com/index.php?option=com_rokdownloads&view=file&Itemid=20&id=510%3Aarma-2-patch-1-00-to-1〈=en If you have OA then do the OA 1.59 which is all inclusive complete patch for ArmA 2 , OA , BAF, PMC. ( if i read it correct ArmA 2 has to be up to 1.05 at least) http://www.arma2.com/index.php?option=com_rokdownloads&view=file&Itemid=20&id=511%3Aarma2oa-a-rft-patch-1〈=en Then the ArmA 2 1.10 patch unless theres a newer all inclusive patch out to replace the above 1.59 that includes 1.10... wont be long for this one im guessing.. hoping. http://www.arma2.com/index.php?option=com_rokdownloads&view=file&Itemid=20&id=749%3Aarma-2-patch-1〈=en

Im guessing your installation files are corrupt or your disc/drive is faulty so can you tell us what OA you have... DvD , Sprocket, Steam. Win7, Always right click on install file and "Run as Administrator" Check disc surface. Try a different drive to install from. Copy files from disc to hd and install from hd save location. Get install files from a friend etc. which is ok by BIS as long as key is legit.... i posted a friend these files on a usb and he returned the usb when finnished.

If its a sprocket download like i have make sure you right mouse click on the install exe and select "run as administrator" and also im wondering why your install is trying to install a 1.06 patch exe. :confused: After a fresh install which means deleting anything relating in install path and also in C:\Users\your pc's name\Documents\.. 1.59 is the only patch you need at this stage and again make sure you right click the patch exe and select "run as administrator" http://www.arma2.com/index.php?option=com_rokdownloads&view=file&Itemid=20&id=511%3Aarma2oa-a-rft-patch-1〈=en If you sort this out let us know what gives and if not get back to us with more info like What type of install ie: Steam, DVD, Sprocket etc. What the install exe is called... mines just "setup.exe" Can you install something else as a test to the same drive.

As far as im aware the game isnt region locked and if you look at some Ebay sellers (who have %100 feedback) they ship worldwide. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Arma-2-II-Reinforcements-Game-Computer-PC-DVD-New-/150600865604?pt=AU_PC_Video_Games_Games&hash=item231082d744 Myself, i get BIS's games via Sprocket so BIS gets more spendula and when i finnish the download i copy the files to a USB stick and label it. If i lose my serial number i can retrieve it in my account at sprocket. http://www.sprocketidea.com/joomla/index.php?page=shop.browse&category_id=11&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=2 note... i have ArmA 2 DVD bought in Aussie and my Operation Arrowhead and Reinforcements are downloads from Sprocket and everything installs ok just make sure it all goes into the same directory as ArmA 2.

Foxhound closed my thread in "ArmA 2 & OA - Suggestions" and sent me here. Ta _______________________________ PC Setup Sub Forum ? Ive found that the whole ArmA series requires a fairly quick pc and a good knowledge of setting all that up but I notice that the PC hardware thread has over 7,000 replies.. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=72181 I know its a big ask but can i suggest a "ArmA 2 & OA - PC Setup" sub forum that i think would be easier to use then a single thread for hardware and could include supporting software issues like for instance... ArmA 2 & OA PC Hardware ArmA 2 & OA PC Overclocking ArmA 2 & OA PC Supporting Software ArmA 2 & OA PC Peripherals Im sure there would be many others who would agree that itd be a very interesting and usefull sub forum. Thanks :)

76 i remember the pvp games you helped to run before the server move. When the pvp server was full and that was pretty often it got so intense and the firefights were nothing like ive seen in a coop. Smoother too ! AI are good for training..

Just use the arma2OA shortcut to start the game. note. All expansions, reinforcements etc. have to be installed to the same dir as arma 2 for this to work. Mine are in.. C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2

Hi 76 :p I dont think theyll say zip until the fat lady is ready... "More information on the game is expected to be released as part of this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo in June." http://www.e3expo.com/ http://www.arma3.com/

Game is a bit daunting for new comers and help like this is valuable so yep should be stickied and not removed down the track.

Old poll so a new one in the sticky section and refreshed annually would be interesting for several reasons. Ill be in joining the ranks of the old fossil brigade 51-100 in June. oooo yeah
