The first and final "patch" for our ArmA1 project "Invasion 1944: D-Day" has been released. This is actually a re-release, because so many files were changed that we decided to include all files, so you don't have to download outdated things that are in 1.0 as well as the new versions in 1.1, but can download it all in one go (493MB instead of more than 1.100MB). Remove the previous version (v.1.0) completely first, and then unzip the contents of the 1.1 archive to your ArmA1 folder (complete instructions are in the included DOCUMENTS/readme rtf file).
No more work will be carried out on ArmA1. We will now focus fully on ArmA2.
We did a lot of testing for multiplayer compatibility with the help of the Silent Warriors squad. The mod should now work better in multiplayer (as well as single player obviously).
