mirror : http://www.gamefront.com/files/22209...uild_96584.zip

quite some crashfixes included, some debug traps for tracked issues
several other betas regressions shall be fixed too

suggested to be used for server hosting as it shall be noticeably stabler
(if you still get any crashes, it's very important for us to get server's mdmp,bidmp,rpt files
(compressed e.g. to my email (which is my nickname @ bistudio.com)with subject CRASH)

BattlEye compatibility: SUPPORTED, enjoy ...

Possible to get AI switch off weapon lights if in combat + stealth behaviour? Would be great to get some "evil" AI micromanage back = direct orders to switch lights on/off, start/stop engine, drop weapons/stuff, switch to AT/AA (secondary) weapons and back. Its much faster + enjoyable than just wait & prey for AI to do reasonable and proper actions.

offtop but definitely no with a2 and not sure with a3 - but there is progress too,couple of time as soon I jump out of tank driver seat my ai gunner start firing to enemy player chopper with sabots and several times managed to destroy it.

report a few months ago this problem in Arma2+ArmA2 OA+BAF+PMC 1.62, and with the latest betas the bug persist.
The pictures are just a small sample and animations disappear eyes and necks are stretched

Only ArmA2 without expansions no problem










Sorry my english is no good

I'm pleased to congratulate BIS stuff for killing all our "ArmA2.ru" Linux based servers.

We're still impatiently waiting for 1.62 Linux based patch. Hope Zuma will find a solution... soon.

BIS doesn't make anyone run Linux. While I can undernstand your frustation, have you considered changing to a Windows based server? The Linux server updates have nearly always lagged windows server updates since arma1 come out I thought, let alone beta patches?

You're right. Edited my post.

But hope Zuma is still working on it.

there is http://forums.bistudio.com/showthrea...62-96458-alpha
and also you can run Windows server on Linux under WINE with minimal performance impact (neglible)
