===SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS===

* ANY ORIGINAL VERSION OF ARMA 1.14.

Visit [http://www.armedassault.com/dwnl_update.html updates section at armedassault.com] to update your ArmA as necessary.

* 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 AND RUN THE BETA PATCH===

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).

If you run the game normally, it will still be version 1.14.

===HOW TO UNINSTALL THE BETA===

There's an uninstall application exe Uninstall_ARMAPatch_1_15_beta.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
