Un patch de plus pour Arma 2

Arma 2 se vendant plutôt bien, Bohemia a des sous pour développer les indispensables patchs. Le 1.03 vient de sortir et pèse 135 Mo.

Les sauvegardes des versions 1.00 et 1.01 ne sont plus compatibles. Pour les sauvegardes 1.02, il faut démarrer une nouvelle mission pour profiter des améliorations. En clair : serrez les fesses et priez pour ne pas avoir à tout refaire.
