Downloading via sprocket from Bohemia - Issue?

[goblinshark 5]

Hello folks,

So I heard about this at work, and I was so excited, and in such a rush to play with everyone, that I hopped online and bought the game directly from Bohemia Interactive, instead of on Steam. I read some installation guides while it is downloading, and I'm seeing some issues.

1) Do I NEED Steam to make all of this work?

2) Do I NEED to download BOTH Arma II and the expansion, or does just downloading the expansion include the entire game? It's about 6g.

Thanks everyone!

What have you bought? you need Arma2 and Operation Arrowhead.

pooley,

Thanks for the quick response. I purchased both Arma 2 and Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead. What I am mainly concerned with is that I didn't purchase them through Steam, I used the main developer's website, Bohemia Interactive.

Although I purchased both, right now I'm only downloading Operation Overhead. I can't download both at the same time.

I am aware that Bohemia Interactive do a Steam version via their website.

I presume that's what you bought. You do need to download both games and have them in the same folder in order for it to work. It is then called Combined Operations, as long as you do that you should be fine bud.
