ArmA2:Oa Patch 1.54 released!

[76 0]

How come every game in the GameSpy browser has "15mins remaining"???

The new multilayer browser is the roughest fix, its basically a streched version of the old one... poor effort.

[Jonn 10]

Yeah the new recoil makes all guns a pain in the ass to shoot, and since the AI arent affected by it AT ALL. It just makes the game unfair and annoying.

The AK has become utterly useless past 20m or so...Personally I hate the new recoil.

Really ?, Because i don't find it hard at all, I actually find vanilla ArmA2 easy (Maybe it's because i use ACE all the time)

[lao fei mao 21]

I like the new recoil, it's more realistic. But I have to get a bigger mouse pad.

[monotone 3]

How can I disable the new artillery computer?

Yet it is nice and convenience,there are some certain cases when the technology spoils some fun.

And I found a bug.

I loaded special arty shells(e.g. ARTY_30Rnd_105mmHE_M119,ARTY_30Rnd_105mmWP_M119,ARTY_8Rnd_82mmHE_2B14...all of the magazines shown here) on cannon and mortars,the guns get super range!

Even a Podnos can project its shell for 43km:D

Actually I believe they should. This patch is the basis for the DLC after all, as it contains the engine upgrades required by the engineer. The DLC units will probably be added as a mod, so it will change the existing units, sort of like a sound mod changes the sounds.

Anyway, very generous of BIS to include low quality versions of the BAF for free, but I can see the shit storm coming already, by the usual ungrateful twits...

I'd rather not get such low res addons... just cause I'll never use them, but thx anyway BI.

So instead of a show fa MadDogx and bitch about how useless and ugly they are and how BI sux but I love'em and how they make me laugh and cry at the same time... blah blah blah.

Instead I'm going to click the 'add to cart' then hit the checkout and dl BAF... now thats grateful! ;)

While stretching it is far from being everything we needed for the browser, it definitely is a much needed improvement.

I havent even noticed theres an updated rocil system in place. :D

I acknowledge its a good improvement but its still a pretty poor effort...

Was hoping for a 'favourite Servers List' (or something) feature or to be able to search multiple server names at once.

Next patch maybe :)

Hey guys. I have problem with new patch. Then i patch it i cant start the game, game asking insert the disk but i donw have one becouse im using sprocket files? what i need to do ?

[billy53 10]

Hi, guys. Actually i dun hv purchased the DLC but i hv updated my OA to 1.54and wonder under which game mode i can use the BAF Lite content ?

thz all!

[royaltyinexile 175]

Which game mode i can use the BAF Lite content ?

The BAF Lite content is specifically designed for multiplayer servers, where some users may have BAF, and some may not. BAF Lite provides a baseline standard; it's there to provide compatability.

So, the BAF Lite content isn't really intended to be 'used' by players who dont want to have BAF. If do you want to enjoy the use of BAF content, the DLC is there for purchase, if not, the point is you're not forced to have to.

That said, Shapur map is included with BAF Lite, available throguh the editor, and, similarly, if you want to see the Lite models (placeholder-res textures) you can view them through the editor.

Yes but you risk burning out your eyes with the low-res textures. ;)

Ok managed to get ther Arty to work in Computer...

But i think its too basic..

Should be able to change:

Type

Burst

Ammo

Spread

And if you are playing as SqL with, say, 4 Arty Pices in squad.

You should be able to acces Computer OUTSIDE vehicle and

chose Nr of pieces fireing.

IE

1: Acess Computer

2: Select units

3: Setup Fire Mode

4: Execute

OR

More advanced:

Say you have a Arty company.

Some 8-10 UNITS.

Set up in to fireteams.

1-4 or 1-5

1: Access Arty Computer

2: Select Team

3: Setup Fire Mode

4: Execute

I'm just SO grateful to have arty that JUST WORKS without having to set up complex fire-missions, special types of magazones, modules etc...

I just miss the "fall lines" (don't know how it's called) of the classic arty module.

But the sole fact that it can work straight out of the box with any AI and player is a godsend.

[polecat.uk 11]

After i installed the 1.54 patch i get a (no entry 'bin\config.bin/cfgingameui/mptable.shadow'.) then i get (error compiling pixel shader psspecularalpha:0) and the then the game just fails to start.

please help :confused:

[Sarka 10]

Can someone help me? i cant run the game after this patch, its asking disk but i dont have them? are someone of you have this problem before?

[SouthSaturnDelta 1]

Loving the new units folks,shame I got steam but if you work away from home a lot like me there isnt much of an altrnative...especially when on ts everyone is honking on about the new stuff ect.I regret not waiting and getting Arrowhead in disk format and lost a hell of a lot of my life playing with addon folders.

DLC packs look set to be a lucrative spin off for BI as well - possibly something that was on the cards long before now (I remember many years back someone suggesting this).

I hate steam.

[Muahaha 10]

Dwarden, possible to tone down the "throwing grenade" shouts? Seems to get multiple shouts when an AI is throwing grenade... kinda messy.

[SouthSaturnDelta 1]

Good point mate,also the voices are a bit naff to say the least.My guy sounds like Dolph Ludgren/stallone mix.The officers sound like the ladyman from Mighty Boosh.

Were you running any mods? Because I dont hear any shouts when AI throw grenades

[dale0404 5]

They are definately there mate, "Frag Out!".

[mr_centipede 31]

hmm... must pay more attention then :)

[scajolly 14]

Is there a solution to the stutter problem? Had OA, did fine. Enter BAF, I don't even have 1 fps at the introduction.

For the love of god help.
