ARMA 2: Private Military Company (ARMA 2: PMC) DLC

[lumpeh]

I feel such a prat as i downloaded this at work, burnt it to DVD then forgot to take it home!

[kylania]

No, No, No

is it clear?

Umm, yes, yes, yes. It's been made clear several times by BIS that the Sprocket version of DLC works with any version of ArmA2 install: DVD, Steam or Sprocket.

It's just a mod.

[Antigoon]

You guys need to implement more download options on launch day, Sprocket is never capable of handling the demand

I'm getting 2K

Then get it on gamersgate...I downloaded it at 400 per second..

[Drakomir]

For future, I recommend to add for example torrent download for customers for launch day on Sprocket. I think it could be faster for this quantity of customers. But it is ok, I am very patient man.

Question:
Only full textures and sounds in PMC do 800 MB on this DLC? Patch 1.56 has only 329 MB.

Or in buyable version of PMC is something as gift for customers what does this difference (470MB)?

I looked more into this and there is one thing you need to keep in mind. This is a quote from the sprocket site:

"A2:PMC 1.00 requires A2:Operation Arrowhead to be patched to version 1.56."

And as far as I know the patching of the steam version only works through steam.

As mentioned earlier, the new functions that allows videos to be played in-game obviously goes along with large size videos in PMC

This is just sad: the Sprocket downloader only works on the US mirror, and then I get a whooping 2 Kb/s...
The direct download link took 5 min to even start, and now has a 90kb/s speed. It's just sad that this happens in 2010
If they want sprocket to be a success, they have to invest. Current servers are way too crappy for a release with this filesize.

At this point Sprocket has no excuse for this type of shambolic release.

This happens every time BIS releases expansions and it's just not acceptable.

@Antigoon - That's the last time I buy anything from Sprocket

[MrXToTheN]

I can't even download it from Sprocket. I still have to work but it'd be nice to have it available when I'm done with that.

My bad, I misunderstood with patches

Man, the AA-12 makes me feel like a total prick. BLAM BLAM BLAM
