In the [[ArmA:_Version_History#Wheeled.pbo|1.06 update for wheeled.pbo]], it states "fix Stryker TOW kolize". Kolize = Czech for "collision, crash, or conflict"? Any idea what this refers to? Collision LOD? --[[User:Ceeeb|Ceeeb]]

I wanted to create a reference which would map corresponding build numbers and version numbers. However, I have too many intermediate versions archived here and I was unable to track each release reliably. If anyone can confirm the build numbers based on exe properties e.g. on retail DVDs, it could make this more complete and reliable. --[[User:Suma|Suma]] 16:41, 26 February 2008 (CET)

Build numbers

I wanted to create a reference which would map corresponding build numbers and version numbers. However, I have too many intermediate versions archived here and I was unable to track each release reliably. If anyone can confirm the build numbers based on exe properties e.g. on retail DVDs, it could make this more complete and reliable. --Suma 16:41, 26 February 2008 (CET)
