ARMA 2: OA 1.61 (Release Candidate #3) build 95099

[Fenrisulven]

For once I noticed quicker reaction. I was testing a DAP conquest mission and carelessly drove into a group of AI in a city (Taki) and they immediately scattered behind cover. I jumped out of the car, my AI gunner opened up but within seconds we came under heavy fire and I didn't even see where they fired from. I don't recall the AI ever firing this much before. Suppressive fire? Normally I have time to escape and pick off the AI, but not this time.

Ok thanks - I'm still too much of a wuss to download the RC so I appreciate the feedback

Marvelous patch. Much better AI ! and I get performance boosts everywhere. Trees no longer bog down my system and radio chatter seem more fluid? Textures load faster or cache better. Also the new FXAA with sharpen filter is genius! It makes everything look super crisp without sacrificing fps. Nice work with this one! A2OA feels fresh and polished, almost like a new game.

Whenwas last time you played arma before installing this ? -.-

I get an error in the MP editor when I load ACR units. Otherwise so far so good.

My Arma 2 game was crashing after about 1 hour of gameplay so I thought installing a newer beta might help that. Well, the installation seemed to go ok but I wasn't able to join any multiplayer games after that. I used Steam to uninstall the game and then redownloaded it but now it won't go past the opening credit screen. It just crashes immediately. I tried doing a system restore but that didn't help matters either.

I did look in the forums for a way to properly uninstall everything but only found tips on getting the beta to work. By the way, single player with the beta did work.. just not multiplayer.

Please tell me there is a way to get out of this mess. I love the game and was only trying to fix the original problem.

Thanks for the assistance!

Should just be a case of verifying the cashe with Steam shouldn't it?
Betas and Steam, just don't do it.

I'm not sure what that means. Anyway, I read that you could delete the beta folder out of the A2:AO expansions folder (I think that's what it was called). I did this, deleted all Arma 2 local files (via Steam) and then redownloaded it. Same problem happens... game gets to the Bohemia Interactive screen and then crashes.

What now?

Thanks for the help.

u might want to check your .rpt for errors maybe it gives a clue about your problem.

Where do I find the .rpt? Is it some kind of Terminal thing?

Thanks

Also, I'm not sure if this matters but it keeps saying that the program crashing is called "Arma 2 REINFORCEMENTS". Is this part of Operation Arrowhead?
