(Well, to be honest, if you don't manage to make the original CD/DVD work, such a request is already against forum rule #1...)

and how did you install it? Is that your problem?

[Hypnos]

LoL Jackass !

With my DVD/CD drive? Oo

[dooheht]

I hope you bought the CZ Version, as all other Versions are not only buggy but even unplayable. In Germany they even recalled to the stores, which they will do in other countries except CZ, too.

If you DO own the CZ Version, then it might be a problem with the Starforce Copyprotection. Need a new/better drive then

German version is protected by SecuROM that effected the performance from the game severely. However they have released a patch today that fixes the problem with the german version.

game plays fine for me,hope someone makes a no cd\dvd for it..the noise of the disc spinning drives the missus mad when she's watching her soaps

Hypnos, can you write how you resolved the problem please ?

Everytime when I try mount image file I have error "unable to mount..blabla"

Thx

Use Alcohol to make an image of your Arma DVD to obtain .mdf and .mds images, if you're image somehow isn't a 1:1 copy, replace the existing .mds with the 'fixed' .mds then mount it in Daemontools. You're getting the error because the .mds requires an .mdf image to mount.

and both files - .mdf and .mds - have to be named the same of course (the label of the .mds-file).

Since I had installed the patch 1.01 for the german version, I can´t play AA, because securom detect that there is no original DVD.
Is there any possiblity to play v 1.01 ?

[Bangers]

Use the German fixed image from GameCopyWorld, as well as something like AlkiSecuROM to bypass DaemonTools blacklisting.

[MBO]

Thanks; AlkiSecuROM can start AA 1.01 !

I lend myself a copy from Videoworld to try out with the 1.01 Patch before I buy it "back" (look above). Well...it still runs really bad, even with Settings to normal.
Own a AMD64 3500+, 2GB Ram, X1900XT (512MB)...

I tried with the image and alkisecurom, too, but performance doesn't seem to change.

Sorry Doohet, your verging on the suspicious Ill rent the game and copy it and get a crack look about you.

No offence :P
