Thank you It shows in my subscriptions but where are the files located so I can play this mod? In a different post, I saw that a person needs to download scenario files separately. Please assist, over. Thanks again, Stefos

Hi everyone, How do I get the Unsung mod please? I can download the torrent but I want the Steam workshop version. Thank you, Stefos

Hi everyone, I bought the Reinforcements DVD some years ago...Windows Vista I believe, I don't exactly remember. I have a new computer and I installed Arma 2, Arma 2 OA from disk with no issues and Army of the Czech Republic, which I bought from the BI store, with no issues. Everything installed on Steam fine. When I tried to install the "Reinforcements" DVD I only got the "Lite" versions showing on my P.C.! No full version when launched from Steam. After I snooped around here for a bit, I found a BI developer actually saying that a new installer was available (which was only available via the BI Store Steam downloads) that made the PMC & BAF compatible with Windows 8.1 I asked BI Tech support to tell customers with Windows 8.1 to not buy the Reinforcements DVD disk, so far I see no communication along those lines. I rebought the 2 DLC's from the BI Store which are Steam downloads and now both show regular full copies. So, Do NOT buy the disc version of "Reinforcements" but stick with the Steam version. After sending many emails to BI's tech support, I got no credit from BI for rebuying the 2 DLC's, even after giving them my serial ID key for the Reinforcements DVD showing them that I legitimately bought it. They didn't care. You've been warned! Stefos71

Look, when I first bought Arma 2 & OA they didn't require Steam. Neither did Reinforcements nor ACR. When I bought my new computer which is a Windows 8.1 PC, I uninstalled the Arma games & content from the old computer. I went to reinstall Arma 2 & OA and the Reinforcements DLC content, Steam demanded the keys. Arma 2 & OA & ACR installed fine........PMC & BAR did not...I only got the "Lite" versions not the full versions I paid for with the Reinforcements DVD. Bohemia Interactive has NOT stated that the Reinforcements disc won't give a full game on PC's with Steam openly ANYWHERE......Prove me wrong. Bohemia Interactive also has the onus to state publicly that the Reinforcements DVD doesn't work on Windows 8/8.1 PC's ONLY the Steam versions with the new installers do Therefore I wasted my money on the same content and demand a refund.......Period. As for "seeking help before I buy a product twice" I've been in constant communication with BI Tech support all along. By the way, you sound like a Bohemia Interactive Canadian fanboy....I suggest you think about what you read instead of your knee jerk reaction post. Stefos71

Say Joe, I just said that when I had my Windows Vista PC which I upgraded to Windows 7, Reinforcements DVD installed fine. I didn't load it to Steam because it didn't require Steam. Now that I have my new Windows 8.1 PC I put in the serial key of Reinforcements DVD in and it installed on Steam, and only the "Lite" versions of each DLC showed on my Steam account under installed games, NOT THE FULL VERSIONS! The Reinforcements DVD requires you now to install via Steam....No other workaround. Please read what I post. Stefos71

The issue is Windows 8/8.1 compatibility NOT Windows 7 or Vista! Look, it goes like this: I bought the Reinforcements DVD legitimately from a store...Best Buy or Game Stop...I can't remember. Back then, I put in the serial key and the game installed. It was NOT installed on Steam nor did need to. Now, that I have a Windows 8.1 machine, I reinstalled my game on to Steam thinking it would load up like normal and I'd get the full versions of PMC & BAF. I did not.....I only got the "Lite" versions showing. There is nothing on BI's webfront that says these DLC's are not Win 8/8.1 non-compatible..........So I didn't need to buy another version of the 2 DLC's...Get It??? When I researched the matter, Dwarden said you have to rebuy the DLC's from our store which includes a new installer. BI is to blame for not advertising properly....Windows 8/8.1 has been out for some time and there is no mention of the Reinforcement DVD, which is still sold at retailers, not being Windows 8/8.1 compatible. Therefore, when I rebought the 2 DLC's from the BI storefront.....I should have got them for free, not get charged for them again because it's the same DLC's only with a new installer which is not code extensive. A "Rip Off" in other words. Understand Buddy? Stefnuts71

There is no reason why Bohemia Interactive cannot and still has not updated the website to reflect the fact that the Reinforcements DVD, which is still available for retail purchase, is NOT Windows 8/8.1 compatible! Therefore, there is no reason why I should have to buy the same DLC 2x's. It's called "lying to your customers" pure and simple and you're ripping people off. Address that and then we can talk. Stefos71

Hi Benargee, Yes, I did. Arma 2, OA and ACR installed fine. The Reinforcements DVD's serial key took however I only got the "Lite" versions and not the full versions. I had to rebuy the 2 DLC's: PMC & BAF and now Steam shows them at full version as opposed to "Lite." I've sent BI's Tech Support all the key's which are problematic over 6 times+ Stefos71

Hey Joe98, I have Arma 2, OA and Reinforcements on disc.......I bought ACR from the BI store as it's not available via disc. Arma 2, OA and ACR installed just fine on steam! Reinforcements did not (again this was on disc......) Below is a quote from Dwarden regarding the installer which was revamped to make the Reinforcements DLC work on Windows 8.1 The problem I have is that NO WHERE does BI state that Reinforcements does NOT work with Windows 8.1! AND the 2 DLC Reinforcements disc is still being physically sold! I had to buy the 2 DLC's over again.....It's called "not being truthful to your customers." That's what I'm saying. I also installed the Arma 3 disc's serial key on Steam and it works just fine.

Sir, I don't appreciate your pomposity. Your company still has the Reinforcements DVD disc available for sale through various retailers and BI has NOT stated that it does NOT work on Windows 8/8.1 via DVD disc install (and it does NOT work that way, the PMC & BAF DLC's only work via the Steam uploads from the BI Store). THAT is exactly my problem and I am justified. I had to spend my money twice to get the same game, same content, just with a different installer....That's a joke. Stefnuts P.S. I butter your bread friend not you mine..........I'm also a U.S. Army Veteran, Are you? Get off your high horse and come back down to earth.

Hi everyone, I bought the Reinforcements DVD some years ago...Windows Vista timeframe I believe, I don't exactly remember. I have a new computer with Windows 8.1 and I installed Arma 2, Arma 2 OA from disk with no issues and Army of the Czech Republic, which I bought from the BI store, with no issues.

They didn't care. BI tech support is still emailing me and I've gotten no resolution other than "We don't give refunds" and "Go back to the retailer that sold it to you." What's going with that? "Don't give refunds?" "Go back to the retailer"........Right. You've been warned! Stefos71

Hi all, I've bought Arma II: CO and I've downloaded the British Forces & Private Military Company DLC's. My question: Is the "Reinforcements" standalone the BAF & PMC DLC's together as one OR is this a new game which expands on the BAF & PMC Downloadable content for Arma II? Thanks everyone... Crazy Banana

Hi all, I simply do NOT understand why BAF & PMC are now full blown games, per se. To me, when both BAF & PMC were DLC for $9.99/each, I was happy. Now that the "full blown" Reinforcements stand alone is out, I feel ripped off. Anyone care to shed some light on this or give some feedback? I believe that registered owners, of which I am, should get a price break for Reinforcements. Thanks

Hi all, I was wondering if Arma 2: Reinforcements was available in the U.S. I don't know who carries it here. If worst comes to worst, Can the UK versiion run fine with a US version? Thanks! Make my Banana happy! Tell me where to buy Arma 2: Rein. in the U.S.!

Hi all, The reason I brought this up initially was because I have the BAF & PMC DLC's which cost me $9.99 each. I just wanted to finalize that what I own which is the following IS what is now released: Arma 2 Arma 2 OA I bought both when I bought the Combined Operations Disc from Best Buy here in the U.S. Arma 2 BAF DLC $9.99 Arma 3 PMC DLC $9.99 These were bought separately. Reinforcements standalone is my BAF & PMC DLC on disk. Right? So in conclusion: I own the entire set and don't need to buy "Reinforcements" Correct everyone? BI peeps please? Thanks again! I want to be a happy banana, tell me I'm right

Hi all, I wanted to know if Arma 2: Reinforcements is a new game or just the DLC on disc? I wanted to know for new content purposes. Sorry If I posted this before but I forgot. Thanks

DownLoadable Content.. For Arma 2 this would be BAF & PMC

Well, at least now I get a better reason why. DLC should still be available to be downloaded if I paid for it though right? From Bohemia Interactive? Thanks

Thanks, Then why buy the disc? For mods or something? I really don't understand the purpose guys, sorry! @NeMeSiS, Hey brother, What up?

Thanks but...... Why would someone want that stuff on disc? Is it an entirely new game or what? Thanks again.

Disclaimer: I really do NOT know where to put this question, as it's not a tech. issue yet! :D Hi again all, I just went into the armory in PMC and noticed that everything looked sunwashed to me. I have done nothing to change my graphics settings at all..not even a new Nvidia driver. Is this just me or are others seeing this too? Thanks

Hi NeMeSiS, No man, this is too much work. I think I'll just do what the Technical stuff here says. My video card is an Nvidia 260 GTX Overclocked (it came that way) I'll just do what the help section says. Thank you for your persistence in helping me. Maybe I can help you in the future? Thanks again.

@NeMeSiS, I just looked under the video problems in the tech area: I HAVE had artefacts also in the past: The weapon a soldier was carrying was missing but everything still ran fine! The weapon came back into view again in a short time. How do I take an ingame screenshot please? I don't know how to take one or how to post one either. Thanks.

@NeMeSiS, I'm sorry, I'm not that technically adept at video issues. I bought the Arma II:CO & then bought BAF & PMC as well. I also made sure that each game was patched up to the most recent release sir. Thanks. I don't know, Arma II & Arrowhead look fine as does BAF but PMC's "Showcase PMC" looks washed out. I'll look at the Tech forums as well.

I just double checked and I have the latest Nvidia drivers for GTX 260 and it was not the Armory but under "Showcase PMC" that the scenery looked too light. In other words, the colors aren't bright enough. I did take a screenshot of the computer and my PMC folder, btw. How do I upload it here? Thanks, sorry. Update: My addon in the Bohemia Interactive just says "PMC" nothing about a "light" version.
