IFC22.dll not found?
Hey folks. I'm trying to get the beta 1.11 patch running for ArmA. I've got it installed, but when I try to open ArmA from the beta file I get an error message that tells me IFC22.dll is not found. any suggestions? The only thing I can figure is that IFC22.dll might have something to do with my mouse, of all bizarre things.

Problem resolved by unpacking the whole beta folder right into the main ArmA folder. Not sure if I was supposed to do that to begin with or not.

Yes, the beta folder should reside directly in the ArmA folder. I believe the installer should put it there automatically.|TG| LoyalGuard

This happened to me, inexplicably, with 1.09, and the solution was moving the beta executable into the ArmA directory, overwriting the older version.

Re: IFC22.dll not found?
What ednos said. The file was installed to the ArmA directory, but to get the game to work I had to move the beta .exe and the other files for the beta patch from the Beta file to the ArmA file, overwriting the originals. Once that was done it worked just fine, though I wish I could say the same for my IFF abilities.

Re: IFC22.dll not found?
Were you running the "shortcut to beta" link? If not, that error will come up. You don't run the arma.exe, you run that shortcut.

Re: IFC22.dll not found?
I had the same issue when I tried to make a new shortcut to the beta.exe, after trying to use the ArmA Launcher, which never did work. The only shortcut I could get to work correctly was the one the installer placed in the regular ArmA folder. After that I didn't get the IFC22.dll error. This never happened until I tried to use the ArmA Launcher. I have no idea why it did that, and it doesn't make a lot of sense, but that is how it happened.

Re: IFC22.dll not found?
The "workaround" you guys are using here is the wrong thing to do. You are taking it from being a mod folder (which it should be) and turning it into a "final" patch (which it shouldn't be, and which might cause conflicts in the future).
The BIS wiki explains what that error is caused by. You can find the entry here:
http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/A...cate_IFC22.DLL
Be warned that what some of you have done (moving the beta content into the main content) may require you to reinstall ArmA to get the final 1.12 patch installed properly.
