Housemaster just alerted me to the fact that there is a new, official (non-beta) patch for OA. As of this moment, it isn't yet possible to add this to the server, nor has it been released on Steam, so if you plan to join the session on Sunday 26 August you'll need to hold off installing patch 1.54. That said, I'm going to check every few hours to see if the situation has changed, as I'm sure that many of the regular groups guests belong to will be requiring the patch now/soon (and, realistically, guests' regular groups' requirements will always trump requests from folk). I'll post all updates to this thread.
IMPORTANT: Operation Arrowhead Patch 1.54

Looks like our hosting provider is working on making the patch available, but they haven't fully completed their automated installation process:

Hopefully we should be able to apply the patch using the automated system soon - although that still doesn't solve the Steam issue. Will keep checking, and keep posting updates in this thread.Well we downloaded the 1.54 Patch quickly, but it suffers from this error posted right below the patch:
In case you experience an "Error found in file EXPANSIONS\ADDONS\missions_e.pbo" error during the update installation, click the "Ignore" button and continue with installation. When finished, download the file missions_e.pbo separately here, then search and replace the original file within your Arma 2 installation folder.
That single file, is taking ages to download, usually timing out.
We will continue to try and download it, when it is ready we will post another News article about it and it will be under Game Updates.

The hosting provider has the update ready to go, but no word on the Steam update, so I'll hold-off implementing the patch for now. I'm also keeping an eye on Tactical Gamer, because I notice that they're also advising their players to hold off until Steam catches up.

Looks like Steam has released the update (but not the BAF DLC). I'm downloading the Steam update now, will check that it has the new features, then will begin the update process on the server.

Okay, the Steam update is down safely and appears to include the low-res versions of the BAF units, so onto the next step: starting the patching system on the server. This is, as you say, a piece of pie.*
* Points for the person who can tell me the film I'm quoting here!

Server is patched to 1.54 and the updated Steam copy can connect to it just fine. Please can someone with a boxed copy connect to the server and confirm that everything is okay for them too? Once someone has been able to do that, we're good to go on Sunday with 1.54 all round!

Messiah reports a successful connection. So that confirms it, we're good to go with 1.54 on Sunday. Nothing can possibly go wrong now!
