ARMA 2: OA beta build 91138 (1.60 MP compatible build, post 1.60 release)

did anyone see that great version number ;) 91138 = 1138 = THX1138 :D

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/THX_1138

like it ;)

I, too, had a few freezes with this beta. When it happens, the game just stops responding. On one occasion, Windows stopped as well but on others I was able to pull up Task Manager and kill the process.

It happened in SP games (PMC campaign missions) and when it happens, nothing goes into the RPT file.

For those with freezing issues this part of the CIT Wiki article is now interesting:

https://dev-heaven.net/projects/cis/wiki/CIT#Dumps-on-a-Hung-Process

Or simply run procdump without any params on the process manually, when it's stuck.

Please create a new ticket and attach your dumps there.

Pistol bug is back this time with M9 pistols (US Army SF) perhaps its better to equip default AI only with rifle and/or AT/AA launcher? Or make 100% sure that AI will use pistols rather rare and force them to switch back to their rifle (primary weapon).

I never get any freezes or hiccups at all.

I am getting more flushable CTDs than usual (NVIDIA driver TDR errors and "video hardware errors" :(), and also got a few (but rare) Windows lockups like xxbbcc above. Nothing in rpt other than MASSIVE AMOUNTS of messages like these:

Cannot load sound 'ca\dubbing\global\radio\female03\cz\numbers\one2.wss'

Cannot load sound 'ca\dubbing\global\radio\female02\cz\veli.wss'

Or these old chestnuts .....

Server: Object 4:561 not found (message 225)

Server: Object 2:25390 not found (message 132)

Server: Object 4:592 not found (message 124)

Either tell us how to get rid of them (in our coding) or stop the engine from making them!

Yeah I get them too.

Joystick mapping does work, but surprisingly only for a short period of time.

after a minute or so arma resets z rotation to work as x- x+, really weird, pls fix this.

Is there a possibility to make the new driving handling toogleable in next beta ?

I'm a bit annoyed by the new system ...

Looks like setUnitRecoilCoefficient is doing nothing, as noticed by zGuba.

BIS any advices?

+1

Don't know if this is related - I hadn't tried riding a motorcycle in-game for a while. Since 1.60 it seems very much harder to control using the keyboard - wild oversteeer at anything over a few kph.

I had occasion to do a complete reinstall (was given Arma X :)) & briefly tried with 1.59 before installing the 1.60 patch & it seemed easier.

- have seen this well known OFP/CWA muzzle bug after loading a mission - AI is still not able to get wounded/unconscious player out of vehicles to heal him (maybe have at least the option for player to "get/drop out") - AI is still not able to switch back from handgun/pistol to their rifle (in OFP/CWA one could order AI to use a certain weapon and it worked!!)

- AI is still not able to get wounded/unconscious player out of vehicles to heal him (maybe have at least the option for player to "get/drop out") )

+1 on this, at least an option for player to exit the vehicle would be nice.

Metis locking is broken at longer ranges compared to 1.60 vanilla.

I want to revive some old discussion about T90 armor in the game !

BIS did nothing about that ...

The tank gets destroyed by one M256 shot ...

Once Arma 3 Alpha is out the retail release what kind of support will Arma 2 receive? I assumed Arma 2 would get 1.61 and that's it, move onto Arma 3?

Oh man, there so so much more of that kind that should be discussed.

Like helicopters that take 8 AA and still can do emergency landing ? :D

Or AH1Z that stays fully operational after being shot by SABOT ^^

But my favourite is the sidewinder that can be shot at FFAR rate :D

Still,the T90 weakness (on which basis M1a1 gets 850 points while T90 gets 800 :S) is the most annoying among all !

In fact I actually reverted to ArmA II 1.11 for playing since ArmA II is simply the better game with less broken or cheaply implemented features.

As for Support...Armed Assault got last Update in 2009, that's 4 years after release...the 1.18 patch was 1,5 years in beta stage...not to mention cold war assault that got 1.99 update after 9 years. While BIS is slow in updating you cant say they abandon their games all that early...and thats the only reason why we buy the buggy betas they put out as final.

A sabot won't hurt a helicopter much more than a 30mm AP round, if there's nothing important in the way. Hit the crew or rotors and see what happens.

In DCS a few round from 30mm wil bring you down DEFINATELY as well as a nearby MANPADS miss.

This shows what ArmA does..it gives an Attack chopper more hitpoints than a T-72 has...this was once made to let it survive a MANPADS back in 2009 when no countermeasures were in the game...now we have countermeasures and still flying tanks.
