ArmA II: Out Now on Steam, Out Soon in Shops

News Portal · **Posted:** 30 Jun 09, 8:40 am

After an awful lot of drama, I have two more bits of good news for you ArmA II fans.

The game has finally - officially been released online, via Steam. Those of you planning a visit to Chernarus had better hop on the digital download path - it promises to be available worldwide, so no more waiting for your local shop to get into gear!

...if you're against digital downloads, for whatever reason, we've also got some good - albeit slower - news for you. Word from Australian distributors All Interactive Entertainment have confirmed they're bringing the game to our shores a little earlier than anticipated - arriving July 16th.

Downloading now via Internode Steam server. Demo was awesome and I can't wait to play the full game.

I started downloading this baby at around 2:30am last night with speeds of around 155kB/s (normal for me)

I wake up this morning and see speeds of around 5kB/s :58_40:

Could someone possibly explain how to do this? As i downloaded AA3 the other week via Steam and lost the 4+GB out of monthly quota.

Thanks in Advance

I'm probably going to get the store bought version.

In your Steam client go to Files > Settings > Downloads > Download Region and select eg. Australia - NSW (Internode). Or whatever Internode location is closest to you.

You may then need to restart the Steam client for this setting to take. Go back into Settings and make sure you check the Download Region is still showing Internode.

Sometimes when Steam releases an updated Steam client and restarts the Download Region will reset back to some random server around the world. Just go back into settings as above and change it back.

Download a program called SteamWatch from here http://www.users.on.net/~marttinen/

It's an extra measure to ensure you don't use any servers other than unmetered.

Before you hand over your cash, see if they will match the price with CDWOW's $50.95AUSD (Free Shipping)
