Is this hotfix included with the 1.62/1.11 patch that just came out?
Our bunch runs a Linux CO and a Arma 2 server.
We have applied the hot fix to our Arma 2 server and have directed players to the hotfix who come to our TS and ask why they can't get in. That takes care of the problem for those who have the forethought of asking what the problem is on our TS. What happens most of the time is that players try to enter the server with the mismatched files and get disconnected. They never receive a message indicating the problem with languagecore. Only the players already in game see
the message about languagecore for those who try to connect. The players in game do not need to worry about it because they already have the proper files. It seems that players who have Arma 2 free or Steam have the correct files, but players who have CD or direct to drive version do not and never discover the reason why they can't join the server. Due to the large number of players running hacks, Bisign check is a measure we must implement.

afaik the file should be included in the 1.60 already (the file was silently updated to cover it)

also there is update for 1.11 in 1.62 (it's usage is only for 1.62 A2: CO mode) which covers the languagecore.pbo and it's signatures too

so this problem should be resolved for once and for all

Why has this hotfix not been implemented in the full A2 patch. Now 6 months later i still see people every day that cant connect and all you have to do it remake the patch with the correct file in it to save thousands of people the hassle of doing it themselves if they can figure it out. This results in a much lower player number and breaks the overall experience of the hole game. It also shows how badly BIS takes care of key issues like this and that no one in the A2 team actually tests anything online as it was meant to be?
