there is alot of short answers appearing now in this thread without explanation or any possible idea what post its really refering to or again if it is to do with a post that it does not relay what part of the post be it for example "patch 1.01beta or1.01 Final".
If people here are managing to instal 1.01 FINAL with the original NFO key otherwise known as a binary of 82.35.14.90.10.64.3e.02.4d.fc.49.0f.10.b1 showing in the registry key then please do confirm for all of us just not a "yeah it works" Be more specific and layout in the post what you have done to accomplish this.
So far me and im sure many others are under the impression still (im sure its the case) that 1.01 Final patch can not be installed over the Beta patch of same release number if using the original nfo key given with the arma 2 pirated download..

Cheers..
i had used this key previously and the patching did not work. with wrong cd key message.
found some other keys and tried to reinstall . tried to patch again and was succesful.
in short, the key in the NFO does not work for patching to 1.01 final
Installed ontop of the beta patch, EXE and some of the PBO archives were updated albeit it said that 1.01 was already applied but the above files might have some size differences and there's a more recent date.
EDIT: Date of the files updated is set when the patch is run, actual differences between 1.01 and 1.01 beta might be minor at best.
(EXE seems to have a new build so there are most likely a few changes but not much.)

Its been confirmed that if it errors afting patching over beta 1.01 then its fine u will see the exe changed I believe and there are some new files in root of folder, pbo's etc etc..This info was from the main biz arma site so im sure its pretty accurate that its all ok if it shows a failed patch. (that is not saying wrong cd key, but saying its already installed after it tries to patch)
P.s the changes had some ai fixes again and performance fixes.
JB; what have you done to install 1.01 Final? its all good others saying they used a diff key but ive not seen anything to my knowledge floating around that is diff than the first one used in nfo. Or did you purchase already?
@gax Get newest drivers.Too low fps.On 8800gt high and very high settings(except shadows normal) 1680x1050 i get around 47fps with 87% fillrate and 2400 visibility.I'm impressed by the engine.At times the gfx are impressive.
I think that 87% fillrate sucks.....
Anyway i tried latest nvidia driver but nothing has changed....
On 1600x1200 all details on low but fillrate 100 i got good fps....

Isn't that the same as the beta, after all it's practically the same patch but a bit updated to iron out any remaining issues.
(The WIKI for ArmA 1 was really good in that the patches, just as here, had a changelog with some bigger stuff but the build version updates showed all sorts of minor improvements build for build kinda like the notes in the 1.16 beta update for ArmA 1.)
As for getting the game to work I own it, I do have a feeling it'll work the same as ArmA 1 though with the serial being regional (If the English version is multi-language in the first place that is.) so if I intended to get a working proper English version I might need to buy it again once prices are down a bit or just hope for a crack that really fixes FADE and the protection method.
(Unless some up-to-date English only translation files are leaked or something.)
Arma was updated with a patch across the board though for full langauge options right ? if I remember.. So prob same will happen so it brings all the versions into line so mp is less trouble.
I see it says 505 games on the image for the keys, now it dont say that if u buy one that u get the key right away, or wether u end up not getting it until release date for the 505 version. otherwise id be tempted.
EDIT: Judging by the forum and one main forum with first 20 threads all sex spam no mods deleting shit and people complaining about not getting any support of the game/keys I think ill pass.
Well I can recomment them as I have bought a key for riddick from there and a key for Left for dead, though the left for dead key activated on steam perfectly the game had the intro in german though the rest of the game was in english with all gore+blood intact, So I cant comment on the language for it though I imagine you can use the key for an english installation of the game, of course you have to source the game files+noDVD crack for yourself though.
You usually receive your key within half hour and thier customer support is excellent, as my L4D key had two characters the wrong way round at first, I emailed support and within 20 minuites all was fixed and I had the correct key.
Odd just take a look at theyre forum mate lol, its disgusting lol what there is of it and the problems.. It does not really inspire people to buy from them you know
Annoying though I really want to check out the changes on this one. I know from playing arma 1 alot that the patches they did improved stuff all the time. If metaboli wasnt so into ripping people off with such high prices but still thats digital for you lol.
Why do you guys have problems installing the patch. I installed the game without any serial and of course i can update it right now from the beta to the final 1.01 patch and indeed it says after patching: patch already installed.

I have no idea why I tried changing the serial back to all 0's as well and no joy "wrong key" message..

Thats a point I dont recall reading if anybody said the 1.01 genesis beta crack works with the official 1.01patch, So lets hope they update the crack soon because installing without a serial = guranteed fade.

No good anyhow the update patches the exe its changed so a new crack for it would be needed, and for anyone like myself that has no joy patching to final due to the wrong cd key msg then it would be useless to use that new crack anyhow unless the changed files were uploaded I guess.
