That'll be correct. You guys can start playing A2 if you want, I'll wait until it's patched to hell.

Re: TF's problem with the english patch

The problem was caused because you didnt overwrite/move the old .pbo's. The target line method of installing mods doesnt overwrite anything like JSGME would do.

thanks dowly, will do that next time.

yea, im guessing mp stability isnt to great.

MP is fine, the game itself isn't too stable and optimized yet though

Bollocks. In this case it works just fine, tried and tested. Arma seems to load first the Addons-folder, then modfolders.

Then how you explain it not working for TF until he moved the stock files?

That would be my guess.

Mine too. That kind of thing tends to have an effect

Yes!

Wait...

Fincuan · 06-25-09, 08:05 AM

Demo was released a few minutes ago, right on schedule:

Torrent

Fileplanet

Arclight · 06-25-09, 08:25 AM

Excellent, those guys are really putting in a lot of hours.

Is there another source for the updated "English patch"? The link few pages back ends up on FF frontpage.

Fincuan · 06-25-09, 08:34 AM

Da da, the english thingy:
Download

Instructions, for those who aren't familiar with mods:

Create a folder called @english inside your Arma2-folder
Inside the @english-folder you create two folders: AddOns and Dta
Unpack the .7z-file you downloaded somewhere. You get three files that end with .pbo.
Move languagecore.pbo to Arma2\@english\Dta\
Move language.pbo and languagemissions.pbo to Arma2\@english\AddOns\
Add -mod=@english to the end of your Arma2 shortcut's command line. DO NOT RENAME THE EXE. It might look like for example this(nosplash removes the annoying splash screens when starting): D:\Pelit\Arma2\arma2.exe -mod=@english -nosplash

Arclight · 06-25-09, 08:49 AM

Ah, much obliged.

It contains a "Server Key" folder as well, is this needed? I can't find an old file to replace, but I assume it goes in the "keys" directory?

Downloaded file is called "wiper.bikey", while the "keys" folder only contains "bi.bikey".
