I have just become the Moderator for the ArmA forum. I will use this thread to post about upcoming, or released patches for ArmA.

All those who already play will probably be aware that BIS are about to release the much awaited patch 1.08 which will unify the game globally.

Here is what BIS have to say, posted June 1st 2007:

"Just a quick update on the patch status:
we decided to release the patch as version 1.08 and it's getting to last round of testing. We thank all who helped us to beta test the public beta versions. It helped us a lot.

We also managed to get few nice new improvements to version 1.08:

* voice over net is improved significantly
* Increased contrast of light for all weather conditions
* Bullet impact is now drawn also on objects and vehicles
* 2D optics now support wide screen and triple monitor aspect ratio correctly
* New texture detail "Default" that auto-detects the amount of VRAM (Recommended Texture Detail setting for users of cards with more than 512 VRAM)
* Reworked logic of teamswitch to make it more suitable for detailed manual squad command control
* Full support for multiple airports by AI pilots
* A bit faster and more fluent radio protocol

In total, since version 1.05 we made around 500 different bugfixes, improvements and tweaks made in the game.

We will update you on the patch release with specific date of availability as soon as the patch testing is finished".
