So you don't have to get the beta patch to play 1.60 anymore as it has been released. I am looking forward to playing Arma again. This has been a pleasant suprise to me because I recently updated ACE/ACRE. The most interesting fix in the patch is the rubberbanding fix. Hopefully we'll never see it rear it's ugly head ever again. Chopper autohover has also been fixed, previously it would see-saw back and forth and was kind of annoying especially for the gunner. And ofcourse AI improvements, who doesn't like these? The last one really helped with convoys but improving it more and supporting the game is something that I'm really happy about.

You can download the official patch from the Arma 2 website or from Steam.
