bionicman303 1 Posted October 17, 2010 Hi all, I'm an old OFP and ArmA veteran and spent countless hours of my life on these games :-) When ArmA2 came out, I was really upset in terms of bugs, such as the one described in the title. I put it away and concentrated on ArmA, hopeing that time (patches) would heal the wounds (bugs). In order to avoid installing the whole game again, only to get aware of the same old bugs, I hope that you might give me a hint: Are the major bugs (such as the one described in the title) still in there and if "yes", is BIS somehow aware of these? Thank you very much! Greetings, Bionicman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zipper5 74 Posted October 17, 2010 There were more bugs in both OFP's and ArmA's releases than there were on Arma 2's, but still, no, rocks do not catapult vehicles into the air. I can't recall them even doing so in Arma 2 to be honest, but I knew they did in ArmA. The only issue with rocks at the moment in OA is that you can get stuck on them sometimes and they may injure you or your team mates, but yes, BIS are aware of it, and I'm sure are looking for ways to fix it. The patches have indeed fixed so many issues that comparing Arma 2 at release to the latest OA beta is like night and day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Von_Lipwig 10 Posted October 17, 2010 We regard rocks in OA still to be among our most dangerous enemies. Many a vehicle has capsised and many a person has been launched by or stuck on a rock. They still pose a considerable threat to pretty much anything. The only consolation is that the AI enemy seems to have the same problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zipper5 74 Posted October 17, 2010 If you notice it's only rocks on OA's new islands. From my experiences no other map suffers the same issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Von_Lipwig 10 Posted October 17, 2010 True, to be fair, I never noticed it on Chernarus or Utes. :) Just watch out when you're in Takistan! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Windexglow 10 Posted October 17, 2010 Was in a Russian fighter, shot a missile at humvee from 200 meters. Was killed by the humvee flying into me. Wonky physics eh? (this happened with the release of arma2, haven't done much jetting) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kylania 568 Posted October 17, 2010 Why are you driving over rocks in the first place? :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(this happened with the release of arma2, haven't done much jetting) Lol, that is awesome! The ultimate revenge! :D Well, at this time, Arma 2 doesn't have much of a physics engine per-say, but it gets the job done for the most part. Who knows, with PhysX supposedly coming to VBS2 (it might actually be there already now that I think about it), we might see the same thing happen with Arma 3 or whatever is coming after Arma 2. :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CarlGustaffa 4 Posted October 17, 2010 I'm betting some of the video creative guys on the forum just got an idea :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bionicman303 1 Posted October 17, 2010 Why are you driving over rocks in the first place? :) Well, actually, I was sitting in a M113 and was following a small, dusty road up to a village on a hill. Both sides of the road were lined with small rocks - with a max height of 20cm. I accidentally got in contact with one of them ... This should be no problem for a tracked vehicle at all! Moreover, I would never except a complete loss of gravity and to be instantly kicked into air :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hellfire257 3 Posted October 17, 2010 Well, catapult rocks do exist. I swear this game defies several laws of physics with the rocks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Laqueesha 474 Posted October 17, 2010 I remember back in the day, I had T-72 tanks flying hundreds of meters into the air after driving over a pebble in the road. I've even taken some screens of it happening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drew 10 Posted October 17, 2010 Zipper you're completely wrong with both of your post. On the other hand I don't see the problem with the rocks if you completely avoid them... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Star Four One 10 Posted October 17, 2010 Zipper you're completely wrong with both of your post. On the other hand I don't see the problem with the rocks if you completely avoid them... I don't see the problem with IED's, as long as you avoid them. :banghead: S41 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
