now if you encouter any crash then crashdumps must fly faster than ASAP to my email or appear on CIT

[roberthammer 582]

Hmm, interesting :)

Faster than possible? How would that work? ;)

Have you ever considered creating a small tool that would automatically gather the necessary crash info/files and send them to a place where you can access them without much hassle for the user?

[seelix 10]

thanks a bunch,like always.

[ssgwright 10]

hmm it won't let me download it? since when do we need a user and pass for the ftp?

[11aTony 0]

Are you sure you clicked this link: http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php? I does not require any un or pass on my side. Although its downloading really slow, like 7kb/s.

[GROM64 10]

there must be a million users downloading it, ;) ....so slow

[stk2008 14]

Yep real slow so probably loads of others downloading to.

You can count on me : )

Btw can anyone confirm that the dump files overwrite themselves when a new ctd occurs?

[Taxman 10]

Had no such problem with ours mandrake,,,, "mission" ?

[nocturna 10]

so is http://dev-heaven.net/issues/12920 fixed in this build ? I know suma said it was fixed in 72744 but the ticket is still open and changelog doesnt say anything about it. Can anyone confirm ?

[-=seany=- 5]

They don't list fixes to bugs that where caused by the Beta in the change log, so hopefully it should be fixed.

[nocturna 10]

Ah ok, just checked it myself, seems fixed =)

Yes they overwrite so get it right after a crash.

[xeno 234]

Sorry to say...

I haven't found a new crash opportunity yet.

I've tried everything, played online for some time, with and without addons, nothing.

Looks good :)

[fideco 1]

No crash, no ctd, no problems here.

Also the performance seems to me a little bit improved in my favoured mission.

I think OA is getting better and better every beta...

Cheers

Yeah, this patch does really look to be way more robust than the last few. For example the second latest patch caused my game to halt/freeze every once in a while, while I heavily switched/alt-tabed back and forth to other applications - usually on alt-tabing back to the game.

Didn't happen with this new patch yet.

:D

[kylania 568]

Mine's been locking up, with no dump file, consistently while alt-tabbed. Been running all day long alt-tabbing out happily with an earlier beta though. No RPT errors or dump files though. :(

I'll try to figure out when exactly this is happening.

[NeoHazard 10]

Big D, whatever you guys are doing over there, keep it up. I'm seeing some performance improvement on my test mission in zargabad, I dont know if you did any optimizations of anything along those lines for this patch, but it seems to be getting better either way. Also, might be a fluke but I had an AI gunner in my humvee and he was super responsive at eliminating targets with the nade-tosser, in both the open desert area and the streets for vehicle cqc. No problems yet... but then I haven't really tested more than 1% of what there is to do in this sim.

Please don't take this the wrong way but why on earth would every one keep ALT+TABBING all day?.

SHIFT+TAB cus that's Steam chat but not other.

I am actually asking as I really don't know why if ya playing a game ya playing a game why TAB back to desktop?.

Play it in windowed mode instead then?.
