Arma feedback thread - based on 1.09

[Scrub]

Noticed the PK firing full auto from a prone position drives the barrel down and left. Feels odd, don't know if RL PKs' do that, but thought it should be mentioned.

BIS Crew,

I want to thank you all for the overhaul that is v1.09 beta. I've gone from running the game on minimum settings, barely able to deal with all the jitters, etc. Now the game runs perfect on max settings. Moving on to the save/load CTD issue, that bug nearly made me give up on ArmA all together. Thank you for squashin that mutha.

hey im away from town (and my gaming rig) can anyone confirum if the bridge fix is...fixed?

[Placebo]

lowered sound level inside vehicles is really bad. Now I don't hear the engine of the Abrams, M113, Vulcan or the Russian tanks. Outside it's quite normal, inside as good as not hearable. (Playing with FDF_Sounds 1.3)

Sound mods/addons will need re-working by their creators. Giving feedback about issues related to addons/mods really isn't appropriate as BIS cannot be held responsible for what an addon/mod does or does not do.

I like:-

Increased performence in North Island

Bigger compass

Faster movement with any rocket launcher type weapon

Redone ballistics on weapons(esp the rocket travell speed)

Not dying randomly on bikes


Dont like
Noise reduction in vehicles, only because i use the latest FDF sound pack but meh, i guess FDF will have to fix that themselves

flickering textures

I just noticed that the muzzle velocity of 5,56 × 45 is 1006 mps in 1.09 instead of 850 mps in 1.08

There are three, relative simple to fix bugs:

1.) The RACS armoured group (M113 + Troop) has a US M113 after you placed the group. The troop is RACS, the M113 is BLUFOR. First after you clicking on the vehicle to edit it, it will changes to RACS M113.

2.) The objects on the map like a compass or watch cannot be fixed in their position and scaling size. In OFP that was standard.

3.) If you are a group leader and uses the CI to command your group, you press following keys F2~F12(or ^)-7-7. For example: F2-7-7. So you tell to the soldier #2 "crouch". But after you pressing these keys you hear only "two,...." not "two, crouch" or similar. The "crouch" sample is missing.

<span style='color:red'>So. All these bugs were allready known and reported to BIS. And after 5 1/2 Months these bugs and hundrets other small, but annoying bugs cannot be fixed by BIS? Missing sounds or false entries in the config? And what is with the trigger that don´t count the users after boarding of vehicles in trigger range? Exploding Sandbags and exploding vehicles in Water? Real sand doesn´t explodes&#33; And the vehicles sinking on the ground - not exploding in Water. Water is not fire&#33;</span>

No, i am not amuses.

For so long time the changelog must be min. 3x longer that it is. The 1.09 is a littlebit better than older versions - its the sense of "patch" - but it is not enough after so long time.

Maybe I&#39;m missing something here, but how are those three "bugs" anything other than minor annoyances? Do they somehow impact on the actual running of the game, stability of the game, performance of the game? Isn&#39;t it more important that performance, stability and overall gameplay elements are the fixed things? I&#39;m sorry but if you&#39;re really getting angry about such trivial matters you really need to seek help

<span style='font-size:15pt;line-height:100%'><span style='colorarkRed'>Thx for the Xmas pressy BI &#33;</span></span>

Nice work, seems A LOT SMOOTHER.
Better "picture" and slightly improved fps, especially in North. Yes grass etc is a LOT better, and reduced fps effects from it.
Beautiful to cruise around in the air.....
But I don&#39;t understand complaints about longer load times ..... to me the times seemed slightly shorter if anything&#33;&#33;
Obviously some people are not happy because their bugs weren&#39;t fixed, but as a beta release before xmas, I&#39;m very happy so far.

Merry Christmas to the BI team &#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;
Enjoy your break, and we&#39;ll see you for the next instalment

You started a feedback thread and feedback was given. Don&#39;t disrespect or belittle those who actually point out things that should be fixed in your product when asked to.
