Arma2 OA Patch 1.55 problems

[ericfr 0]

The worst for me graphically

Random flickering on trees, Flashing footprints.

After a few minutes -> map view and back plenty of missing objects (trees, houses...) and very bad and missing textures of vehicles, houses..., require to force "flush" each time approx 10 mins (never had that before):mad:.

Game settings:

- View Distance : 1600

- Texture: Normal

- Video Memory: Very High

- Anisotropic filtering: Very High

- Antialias: off

- Objects and Terrain detail: Normal

- Shadow detail: High

- Post Process: off

- HDR : Normal

- Vsync : Off

- Resolution and 3D Resolution 1280 X 1024

Specifications of system?

[PuFu 4600]

very specific this post of yours

[larsiano 12]

have you tried defrag, disk cleanup and a new driver for your GPU? specs would be nice indeed and more before and after info

[saintnorbert 10]

Hi,

Heavy vehicles with AI inside dislike taking road yet...:mad:

[TechnoTerrorist303 10]

Your graphics settings seem a little strange. If you can only do a view distance of 1600m and res of 1280 X 1024, no post processing, texture detail normal etc then why have you got your GPU memory set to "high"?

Anyway, please post the specs of your system and this might all make more sense. Defrag will probably help anyway, use defraggler or similar though as Windows built in defrag is next to useless.

Just can confirm that the new patch is a mess.

I cant play more than 15 minutes (and thats very long) until my game freezes.

Also any voices are extremly low.Cant hear shit when Get an order while comrades shooting around me,or vehicles driving by.

And it were running like a charm til yesterday before i patched the whole thing.

I have got the same problem: before the patch the game ran correctly, and after: textures need time to appears, game freezes. And i haven't changed my settings.

[seelix 10]

My game runs now smoother since i disabled vsync ingame and HDR to normal. But it can be just temporarly.

Will see within the next days.

Hi everyone

I just wanted to say that after patching Arma2: OA to patch 1.55 I lost few fps and got similar problems to some of you.

After about 10-15min minutes of gameplay the game become dramaticly loosing fps, models are becoming verry low datailed and everything freezed, (only after I use ALT+TAB ) and go back to the game everythink is back to normal ..for some time,

I didn't have any problems like that with 1.54 patch

[sick1 13]

Command dofire is officially broken;(

[Przemek_kondor 13]

I don't have freezes but very low fps (before I had ~40, now I have ~15). Game has become unplayable.

I used beta 72558 before and it was ok (didn't try newer betas because of incompatibility with the stable 1.54).

Ever since I updated I can't play the game for more than 10 minutes without it crashing. It is like the second last beta.

Check the general section about the patches (not the stickies) its also been noted their but no official feedback from BIS. Check "Jman" post.

[suhsjake 1]

Its great and all that you are posting up the issues, but we need MORE information like your computer specs.

[Ulanthorn 10]

My game also lost performance in a noticable way OA Benchmark went down from 32 to 24 fps, warfare BE is unplayable for me with lots of units around me since 1.55, close proximity LOD switching on buildings is very prominent again, almost looks like draw distance was reduced back to ArmA 1.01 level. The light green leafy trees on chernarus now often need 2-3 second to be visible when turning around, resulting in whole forrest appearing out of nothing at 500

meters.

I have everything on high exept AA and PP off. viewdistance 3000

meters.

the game ran very fine in version 1.54 and beta 75630...the trouble started with 75858 and obviously made it into patch but without the stability issues that 75858 had.

[CarlGustaffa 4]

I think 1.55 was a bit rushed to get everyone up to 1.55, avoiding the split we had with latest betas taking you to 1.55 instead of 1.54 which was the servers. My rpt is being filled up with mysterious junk (to the point where it becomes unusable to use it for debugging) and rather heavy memory related problems, and I hope this is resolved with an upcoming beta (or better yet, full version/hotfix) rather quickly. But at least we are all on the same version now.

[ericfr 0]

Yes Carl

We have pointed out the graphics problems in the beta topic,

now full of players have graphics problems for me now the game is virtually unplayable.

Why they ask our opinion ? to make a bad patch.

A very disappointed "Beta-tester"

Before feature and features, we want a stable game without bugs and very old bugs never fixed.

once again BI has released a patch that knackers my game play up. i have recently got my game working on Combined operations using the -mod=co thing that i has to find from somwhere els but from not from the makers of the game. anyway thats another story but after i did do it i have managed to have a few weeks of uninterupted gameplay. Now all the servers are moving over to the new patch 1.55 and so forcing me to do the same if i want to carry playing online.

So i DL the patch and installed it.

Know when i try and play on a online server i just keep getting kicked before i even get to the setup screen.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game starting each section so the regestry can log the game ( More crap they dont tell you about the disjointed game) and that has not worked either (that another 2 houres i wont get back.)

does anyone at BI know what going on why am i getting kicked from all the servers. does BI test any of these patches before they release them on the disgruntled CUSTOMERS. remember BI we are your CUSTOMERS and we want to use the product that we have paid for. I work hard during the week and want to relax with some war when i have a weekend off LOL but this weekend has been full of me installing and reading the forums and trying to find people that actually know what the hell you have done this time.

What am i supposed to do to get this to work? do i have to put more obscure commands in my target line to allow me to play or maybe i need to burn a jostick and pray to the gods of the digital church what is the problem.

Does BI test any of their game patches and if so why is this game so disjointed. if i was a laymen i would have never been online at all. and i know what your would say "well we dont support online but the one player game is so lame it aint worth using. this game is only so good because players make mods.

Maybe its about time BI made a reseptical that mods could be uploaded and if a player dosent have a patch or a mod to synchronize it with the server you are trying to play the game would automatically contact the receptical and download the bits and put them in the correct place. No Fuss.

why has this not been done it cant be that hard instead players are just resigned to the fact that even though the game is good they will have to put up with it fucking up every so on and have to work it out between themselves how to fix it.

WHY IS IT KICKING ME FROM THE GAME BEFORE I GET TO THE TROOP SETUP PAGE WHEN I WANT TO PLAY ONLINE.

---------- Post added at 08:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 PM ----------

i just wanted to add if i asked for a refund as i can not use the game for the purposes i purchased it for i expect that i would not receive a reply.

COME ON BI:mad:

maybe battleye is just crap and we should use something else.

[Walter Sobchak 10]

I get the same thing most others are getting with my copy of the game. Battleye is the issue, since I can play the game fine on non BE.

shall take care of the buffer issue

[chiefredcloud 10]

Ok guys & girls and, of course BIS. I have a friend, which like most of us here is an Armaholic. But with this last patch 1.55 he like some of you has problems.

He has the DVD of ArmA 2 & the Steam version of OA. Now his game has been working just fine till he tried to install patch 1.55. We all tried to help him but most of us do not have Steam versions.

He has uninstalled and reinstalled the game twice now that I know of and he/we can't get it set up right. Any thoughts or, heaven help, solutions?

p.s. He does NOT have the full BAF only the light that comes with OA.

I have the Steam version of the game. My game works fine when I play on servers that don't use BE. I recommend to play on non BE servers until they fix the issue with BE. You can find these servers by clicking on the filter tab below server list and click BE to no. I hope a solution happens soon because this is one of the best mp games of all time.
