Patch Issues

When you apply an official BI patch, make sure you have all the original game files intact, if you've altered any of the official game files the patch is prone to failure. (Such as the language patch by SickBoy)

ArmA won't install from DVD

I put the CD into the drive and nothing happens. Opening explorer and clicking onto cd drive returns nothing.

Solutions

• If the game won't install try setting the DVD's region code to 2. Checking the instruction manual or manufacturers website for your DVD should tell you how to make such a change.

• Update DVD drive firmware.
