ARMA 2:OA beta patch 75445

[vohk]

BTW: Does the line in ARMA2OA.CFG "3D_Performance=93750;" have any meaning?

Apparently no. From the BI wiki:

"3D_Performance=93750 - written by engine each start, changing it manually has no effect!"

Bumped into that while fixing a related start-up error message.

Version is stable performance is good again.
I noticed that most cars don't have destructable glass anymore.
It is impossible to shoot out a window on most cars with small arms or even MGs, especially unarmored HMMWV.
The windows also dont show any damage textures until shot with HE rounds.

Checked with last 1.54 patch and it's the same there.

Checked back with ArmA II 1.07 and all vehicles have Windows destructible by small arms, takes a mag of 5.56 there.
This is a step back like with the since OA missing blast effect on tanks.
I remeber that before 1.54 patch vehicle windows could be destroyed before the car began to burn in OA.

Maybe it's a step towards bullet-proof glass for all those pilots; I know they've been wanting this for a while
Probably needs some tweaking.

Beta seems stable so far; although only tested a little. Will mess around some more and give feedback

Stability seems good for me so far, but the issue with the choppers bouncing up and down is still present.

Patched our ACE2 server with 75445 and after loading mission the server kicks the client back to server list, client also using 75445.

Reinstalled 74858 for the dedicated and clients and it's back to normal..

[CarlGustaffa]

Had no problems joining (as first as admin), both server and client running latest. Currently just letting it play out in the background.
I'm wondering if we will get MAAWS rocket models and workable UH-1H gunner views this time. MAAWS rockets disappear when put on ground (often impossible to find, depending on the surface I guess), and combined with backpack contents not being synchronized (AT Gunner sees Javelin, AT Asst sees MAAWS ammo), it makes the whole idea of a buddy AT Team unplayable.

Did i understand it right that this should be the last beta for the next patch?
hope not?

Yeah, wouldn't be so good. At least the choppers should be fixed for the final patch.

[Himmelsfeuer]
