Update on A2

Again another gamer post. I've got a video of A2 uploaded from my own gameplay.

Download here.

I bought my copy online from Germany and applied an english language patch, which until I find out with more certainty the legal status of it, I cannot pass on. Additionally A2 has seen a Beta patch released to fix a number of issues, however I have not installed this yet, I've had minor dramas running it on Windows 7 64-bit... beta though, although I've known others likely running it on the release candidate.

Unfortunately the fact that BIS have released a patch tells me that the boys are having some difficulties in controlling the test teams, there are some minor dramas in my copy, although other people are experiencing frequent crashes. I would almost recommend getting the testers for VBS2 to test ArmA2, but the sad fact is we're seeing bugs there as well. The english release for Europe is around 19 days away, which means there's very little time to fix the dramas for the CDs that are or should have already gone gold. We may not see a fully ready copy of A2 until the Australian release on the 9th of July.

I'll probably keep posting screenshots and other videos of A2 features as I go, the changes from the current version of VBS2 are quite significant.

Jamie.
