In cooperation with the CorePatch team, we have prepared update 1.64 for Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead, which takes care of many issues, including Windows 10 support.
If you experience issues with the recent Operation Arrowhead update, we have made a "legacy" version available on Steam. To download this build, please go to your Steam library, right-click on Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead, select "Properties". In the Properties window select the "BETAS" tabs, and use the dropdown menu to select "legacy". After you click on the "Close" button, Steam will automatically begin to download the previous version of the game.
