Arma 2:OA 1.60 Release Candidate

[Dimitri_Harkov]

Two recent beta-patch changes are missing from the 1.60 RC changelog:

[86851] Fixed: Vehicles attached on ships attached to objects sometimes destroyed (http://dev-heaven.net/issues/26668)
[86839] Fixed: Cannot manipulate doors after game was aborted with doors in transit. (http://dev-heaven.net/issues/26702)

Just an oversight in the changelog or have the fixes not been included in the RC for any reason?

In any case: big thanks to BIS for the continued support

Cheers,
D.

Something wrong here, my performance has dipped when turning round or flying in Heli I'm stuttering severely the PC is trying to catch up, didn't happen with patch 1.59, Anyone else having this issue?

Did you try defrag after applying patch?, thats the usual suspect for me.

Look into using contig to defrag only the arma2 folder, works wonders.

Hmm, I got an error while installing the RC:

Please be patient. This update may appear to take a long time to complete. It is updating and installing very large data.
ARMA 2 OA
ARMA 2 OA: Updating version 1.59 to version 1.60...

It offered me Abort/Retry/Ignore and I chose Ignore and it continued patching at least.

Any idea what happened to this file now, since it seems to have the same date as of today (patch day), like any other file after patching:

File: languagemissions_e.pbo
CRC-32: f91078e6

SHA-1: 069186aae3906c4a3d6705daa8869de96a796267

Checksums before patching (also with the same date as most other files in Expansion\Addons):

EDIT: My OA is IDEA/Peter Games retail and previously never showed problems patching, including 1.59.

incredible work BIS, best support for a game ever seen.

Hello and thanks for the great support.

Patching process was successful but I get worse performance and more texture popping now when I run the OA benchmark.Fragmentation should not be an issue since the game is installed on an Intel drive.I am downloading latest beta now ,to get the dll folder and test the different allocators, to see if it helps.

RPT file is giving me dozens of lines of:
Cannot load sound 'ca\dubbingradio_e\radio\male04tk\default\weapons\ cannonlow.ogg'
Cannot load sound 'ca\dubbingradio_e\radio\male04tk\default\weapons\ machinegun.ogg'
(Looks like I am missing the voice of the Takistan Army T-72 commander telling the gunner to switch weapons .)

This means I have to reinstall the game and patch again?
Win XP32sp3,285.58 WHQL driver.
A2 Retail,A2OA+DLC Sprocket.

Any help appreciated.

I have problems aswell.

after patching the game i get thise errors when trying to start up OA.

1st. No entry bin\config.bin/CfgInGameUI/MPTable.shadow
2nd. Error in compiling pixel shader PSSpecularAlpha:0

A2 1.11 starts up fine and does not giveme errors after the patch, only OA/CO

i tried reinstalling the game. didnt help. i checked the md5 sum of the zip file and its ok. im going crazy here.

Anyone else having this problem and have solved it ??
