Thinking of buying PMC for Higher Textures

[#Sleepy 572]

Do I just have to install PMC?

Like if I launch ArmaOA with DayZ Commander to connect to a server with the textures load automatically?

Also, why can't I just download the higher textures?

Yes, you just have to install PMC.

Yes, the textures will be loaded automatically no matter how you launch the game, as long as you have PMC installed.

You can't just download the higher res textures because they only come as part of the PMC pack with the missions and everything.

Alright thanks, I'll probably buy PMC today as it's only $10 and I get paid tomorrow or Tuesday.

Honestly, they don't make that much difference for DayZ, and considering the standalone should be out by the end of the year, I don't think it's worth bothering.

If you play normal Arma it's not bad though.

EDIT: Also, if you do get it, you will have to get the latest patch for the BAF and PMC addons, which can be found at http://www.arma2.com...ly/game-updates. You will need to download the update named

ARMA 2: Combined Operations / Operation Arrowhead / Reinforcements Patch 1.62

It will find that your Arma version is (probably) already up-to-date, but when it searches for the DLC it will then patch that up to the same version.

EDIT: Unless you buy the DLC on Steam, in which case it should update itself :P

Well I play a little ARMA 2 also, and will I have to do that for ever patch?

Na, you should just be able to update to that one I said.

If you buy PMC through Steam it should be updated anyway though, so you probably won't have to bother. I got my PMC from the Bohemia store which is why I had to patch it manually.

You will also need BAF for all textures to be HD

What does BAF stand for, also I thought if I got it through Steam it should do it for me?

BAF - British Armed Forces

If you play ARMA as well its worth it

[#Sleepy 572]

And if I buy that through Steam also it should automatically install the HD Textures?

Should do

*edit* basically now in your expansions you should see PMC and BAF active as LITE versions when you buy them it will be the proper versions
