c.chris.perry@gmail.com 17 Posted June 12, 2012 wait wtf' date=' we seriously need the BETA to play this update? D: whyyyy[/quote']Because the zombies LOS stuff is done via functions added in the beta.The beta also does a ton of shit to reduce server lag and desync.

I used the arma 2 launcher from spirited machine to set it up, generated a shortcut, and copied that to my target and working directory lines. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ayanamifan 2 Posted June 12, 2012 Sweet' date=' when can we expect this to be released? :)Also, helicopter spawns?[/quote']I found 2 at the NW Airfield, one had a DMR and FN FAL ANPV S4, the other had a box of ammo holding like .. 30 stanag and 10 stanag sd - sadly, nothing else :/It was -right after- a server reset. They were not there before the reset. They updated to the latest beta patch during the reboot too (93666 at the time).Just realized you probably meant -flyable- helicopters ... the ones I found were wrecks. Sorry.

PeteOfButcherBay 17 Posted June 12, 2012 Here is the easiest way to install beta patch on steam:1. download beta patch from here: http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php2. extract file and run the setup.3. goto your Arrowhead folder (Steam/steamapps/common/Arma 2 operation arrowhead)4. Backup original Arma2OA.exe file5. find beta folder (Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead/Expansion/beta)6. cut/paste arma2oa.exe file from beta folder to main Operation Arrowhead folder7. Goto Steam Library, right click on ARMA2 Operation Arrowhead and goto 'properties' at the bottom of the list.8. In the properties, click on 'Set launch options...'9. in the box, copy and paste this: -beta=Expansion\beta;ca;Expansion\beta\Expansion -mod=@DayZ;ca -nosplashAnd start ARMA2: Operation Arrowhead normally.Viola!
