Using spirited machine's ArmA 2 launcher v1.4.1.0

Never mind then.

Tried adding it via additional parameters, still broken.

b00ce - just add -beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion into the the additional parameters in the launcher and it will start fine.

I tried that, see edit4. No dice.

I had the same problem, I solved it by adding the -beta switch in the extra parameters AND checking the "Run Beta". Otherwise it runs the "old" 1.60 binary.

Has anyone else noticed that sometimes 1 or 2 random AI in a mission don't die until up to 10 seconds after being shot since 1.60 or is it just me?

Just wanted to know if I was the only one before putting up a CIT

Old issue, it's connected to some long'ish idle animation, which is not interrupted by death, similar to those with Rifle/RPG/Binoc switching.

Ok new beta. Still there seems to be no addons folders in betas from 88044 and onwards.

Are those folders/files not needed any more? Thought that was for some post-1.60 fixes.

Doing this seems to work in SixUpdater both client and dedi-server side. Both launch without errors and report version 88207.

Has anyone else noticed a few changes to tanks and wheeled armor lately? I was just driving a tank, and let go of the accelerate key, but the tank kept driving forward! Instead of holding down the keys like a gas pedal, it now works like selecting a speed mode. This is awesome! Aside from the recent changes to tank targeting (I don't remember that in the change log) I've also come across a few instances of wheeled vehicle crews NOT bailing out when loosing a wheel. I did this on 88147 Beta, but my real question is when did these changes get implemented?

*edit

wtf I reloaded ArmaAO again and now the tank driving is back to normal? I can't replicate what happened, I was using mods and jumping around from commander to gunner to driver. It was awesome though...

A lot of people can't get into the game... so can't test anything!

How could this be good in any shape, form or fashion?

EDIT: Back to 88027....at least can play! Like Android... bad App....uninstalling.

I started about 10 different orders for my startup parameters and always got the addons loading first, not the beta.

Reverted to 88147 until this gets evened out. :o

Using this build I get the D3D error at start...

Error creating Direct3D 9 Graphical engine

Using this command parameters:

D:\Games\ArmA II\Expansion\Beta\arma2oa.exe" -nosplash -window -noPause -mod=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -profiles=d:\games\ARMAII~1\ -maxmem=2047 -name=KeyCat -showScriptErrors

Reverting back to build 88147 and everything is fine.

Maybe I need to change to "-beta=" ?

Tested using -beta= and that seems to work OK...np will fix all my shortcuts.

"D:\Games\ArmA II\Expansion\Beta\arma2oa.exe" -beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -mod=@CBA -nosplash -window -noPause -showScriptErrors -profiles=d:\games\ARMAII~1\ -maxmem=2047 -bepath=client1 -name=KeyCat
