Beta-Patch für Armed Assault auf Version 1.09

WARNING: THIS IS AN INTERIM PUBLIC BETAVERSION. IT'S NOT A FULLY TESTED STABLE RELEASE. USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. DO NOT CONTACT OFFICIAL SUPPORT WITH ANY PROBLEMS USING THIS PATCH BUT USE ONLY STANDARD COMMUNITY CHANNELS TO GIVE US FEEDBACK.

THIS BETA VERSION IS RELEASED FOR PUBLIC BETATESTING PURPOSES ONLY. YOU STILL SHOULD BE ABLE TO RUN THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF THE GAME.

THIS BETA CAN BE STARTED ONLY WHEN RUNNING THE NEW BETA EXE VIA SPECIAL SHORTCUT CREATED DURING PATCH PROCESS IN YOUR MAIN ARMA WORKING FOLDER.

This application will update your installation with a Beta folder and shortcut to launch the beta version.
===SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS===
ANY ORIGINAL VERSION OF ARMA 1.08 (Note that some of the fixes were included in the 1.08 hotfix already).
October 2006 DirectX 9 runtime is required (d3dx9_31.dll) and patch installer will update your system with it automatically if you don't have it installed.
OpenAL will be updated during the patch process to version 2.0.3.
===HOW TO INSTALL THE BETA===
Run the patch exe to apply the patch setup automatically (you may be prompted to choose your exact version in some occasions). It will install all beta content to a mod folder "Beta" and  shortcut "Launch Arma Beta Patch" to your ArmA directory  (default is C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA or C:\Program Files\Atari\ArmA).
It is recommended to uninstall older beta patches before installing this new beta patch.
===HOW TO UNINSTALL THE BETA===
There's an uninstall application exe Uninstall_ARMAPatch_109beta.exe included in the patch archive that allows you to remove the beta folder and associated shortcut from you game directory.
===HOW TO RUN THE BETA===
You can still run your existing ArmA normally by using the existing shortcuts and as far as we know, the beta shouldn't interfere with your game, so even after you installed the beta you should be able to install this beta patch normally.
To run the beta version, you need to start "Launch Arma Beta Patch"  in your ArmA game directory.
If you need to run ArmA another way, and you still want to run the beta, make sure to start the ArmA.exe from the beta subfolder with working directory set to the normal ArmA directory and also with command line option -mod=beta
