New beta patch 1.16

[Rocco]

Oh my god BIS, you don´t know what you are doing! Why do you release another beta patch, this will devide the community even more, please release a real patch, so that people dont get scared by the word "beta", we will have a 1.14 community, a 1.15 community and a 1.16 community.

Come one, you can do better than that!

Rocco, you come on! How can you propose to release a patch for a game of this community nature as final without having it tested properly by the community first.

Can you imagine the mess if the beta patch does exhibit some major problem?

Maruk, does the dedicated server come with the patch?

[sparks50]

At least we are getting a patch.. thanks!

[Maruk]

Windows dedicated server is included with the release.

[twisted]

great.

i have an ati video card and while i haven't seen much problem with the way arma runs currently it's always good to know that the game will be running even better!

cheers!

PLease test it in your studios or let Jan Kunts team test it, it´s just nonsense to release another beta patch, why didn´t you release the 1.15 patch first before releasing another beta patch?

The issue, that you probably don´t see is, that we have like 100 players (estimated number) playing 1.15 beta at the moment (which is a stable and great patch) and we have like 150 players at peak time playing 1.14, this devids the community and if you want to play a specific mission, you have to close ARMA 1.15 to start 1.14 for example.
Another beta patch means, that we wont get the numbers to play specific missions probably, because people play on 1.14 or 1.15 or now 1.16.

Oh and one more thing, we still cant use Linux server with the beta patches, is that correct?

@Maruk:
Thanks

@Rocco:
The only reason why people are playing 1.14 and 1.15 beta at the same time is the absence of a Linux dedicated server for the 1.15.

1.16 doesn't have a Linux server either, but there is nothing preventing you from updating to it if you're already running 1.15.


To put it simply instead of having people playing 1.14 and 1.15 you will have people playing 1.14 and 1.16.


On top of that I don't think Jan has thousands of unique computers lying around

I can only hope so, mate and i wish we would get a 1.16 linux patch.

But then again, regarding your comment, you would agree with me, that 1.15 is a full working patch, so BIS could give patch 1.15 full status with linux support.

Following this logic, it would mean, that Jan´s beta ArmA2 team can´t beta test ArmA2 probably, because they dont have the testing equipment, leading to the solution, that we should get an ArmA2 public beta test to test it on our "unique computers"!

Great Great.... so im looking forward to see crash-free dedicated server and this new awesome BE Features Bastian told me *looking over to hin*....

Is there these "overlength-packets-error-fix" with big Public Variables and other stuff included like Suma mailed me some time ago?

Thanks!
