Help with patching the ArmA game
« on: 02 Aug 2009, 14:23:29 »
I got a slight chance to download ArmA patch 1.05,so i have downloaded ArmA Euro Update....
I waited some times during the patching and when the patching is done..........
I can't open the game.......i clicked the icon and error occured saying "No disk in cd rom "

I saw my version of Arma at the lower left of the main screen,,,,it says version 1.04xxxxx a lot of characters behind "4" !

I ain't using ArmA Vanilla.
Pls help me////////////////

You only need to know which game version you have bought and which update did you install previously. If not sure, reinstall your game and then apply all updates in right order depending on the original game version you have (you can determine your version number from the main menu of ArmA or from Windows desktop):
What version do you have?
Boxed ARMA: GOLD edition or ARMA Online Download (version 1.08)

    * Download and install International 1.14 update only

US version ArmA: Combat Operations by Atari, box and download (Version 1.06)

    * Download and install US 1.08 update
    * When updated to version 1.08, Download and install International 1.14 update

European boxed DVD ArmA: Armed Assault by 505 Games (Version 1.04)

    * Download and install Euro 1.05 update
    * When updated to version 1.05, download and install International 1.08 update
    * When updated to version 1.08, Download and install International 1.14 update

German, Russian, Czech or Polish Boxed DVD ArmA: Armed Assault or online download v. 1.0, 1.01, 1.02 and 1.04

    * Download and install International 1.05 update
    * When updated to version 1.05, download and install International 1.08 update
    * When updated to version 1.08, Download and install International 1.14 update

i have ArmA:Armed Assault Version 1.04XXXXX (x are numbers behind 4)

The problem in first post occured when I have patched my ArmA with Euro Update 1.05

I have reinstalled ArmA (which is 505 release with version 1.04XXXXXX) and patched again and got the same thing!??????????????????????????

If your disc is not authentic, it may very well be the cause as to why you keep getting the no disk errors. Is this an actual production disc or a copy?

After the installation i have to copy and paste a folder called "HATRED" ......

And a crack file of ArmA too.....(i think crack files are just used so that you don't need to insert the disc 
everytime you play the game,isn't it?)

Using a NOCD crack is not recommended, in fact your patch is probably checking for the disk and not finding it it fails.
