question 2.
You can always uninstall the newer version and re-install the older one. We dont lock you out. As usual, make a back-up of your files, better being safe than sorry.

A bit more detailed: The most current stable is 0.2.8.2.1, which is the recommended version.
There's also the prereleases of what will become 0.2.8.3, those shouldn't have any regressions from previous versions, at least in theory. If you find any bugs we'd be glad to hear about them.
If you want a really bleeding-edge version you can use the development snapshots. 0.3.0 is a bit old, so maybe you want to go for r8003 and later. They do have known regressions, however (the sound isn't working properly, for example), but should be playable.

version 0.2.8.2.1,
hasn't that been out for almost(or over) a year now?
i got arma on this comp about a year ago, and at startup in arma it says it's 0.2.8.2.1, is this just slow arma development or is my game auto updating itself?
So if i copy all my armagetron data onto something, i could put my game exactly how it is now onto another computer(same type, model, etc)
or would my game be different because of something?

Yes, and as wrt said, that is the latest OFFICIAL release.Crazy wrote:version 0.2.8.2.1,

That said, if you don't mind crashes, possible incompatibilities, and some work, you can always try the development snapshot. It is up to you to judge if getting access to the latest and greatest (and often incomplete) features is worth the extra trouble.
Slow development, no auto-updates.Crazy wrote:i got arma on this comp about a year ago, and at startup in arma it says it's 0.2.8.2.1, is this just slow arma development or is my game auto updating itself?
Try to install the game AT A DIFFERENT LOCATION on your hard-drive.Crazy wrote:So if i copy all my armagetron data onto something, i could put my game exactly how it is now onto another computer(same type, model, etc)

It *should* be the same, unless you somehow missed to copy some file.
