ARMA 2, version 1.09 - Patch Released

[birtuma 28]

No patch on steam?

[Atkins 10]

Seems like the patch has not passed Steamworks control or whatnot...

I installed it manually...

[Calibanmetal 10]

I've just downloaded the patch. But there is one thing that confuses me a little.

The old patch (1.00 -> 1.08) is 323MB and the new patch (1.00 -> 1.09) is only 276MB. It is always nice to have smaller files but shouldn't the file be bigger unless they deleted some content?

To that answer I'm curious !!!!:bounce3::bounce3::bounce3:

improved patching tech :)

anyway the STEAM release is delayed due to technical difficulties ...

Thank you BIS,

I'm seeing much improvements in game play - those were some serious tweaks :D A huge thank you from us ArmA 2 players !

Dwarden the readme being updated would be nice.

either disable it (or define rules in your account http://dev-heaven.net/my/account settings)

or just create folder for CIT with some autofilter moving it there ...

You right, the readme changelog isn't complete ...

(there are missing some of the engine changes from merge of OA fixes)

it will be updated later on the BIKI and for CIT usage

it's way more than some mission tweaks ...

See the OA threads on patching after 1.57. It's not a bug, it's a feature. I guess it's time to upgrade our hardware. It's odd (and I'm not saying it's bad), but it's odd because we usually expect a new patch to solve problems with previous versions and not much more. But BIS games have longer lifetime than other games, and developers introduce new ways to do things to the engine. That practice usually comes with new versions of other games franchises, but BIS do it with patching. The only downside to that is that from some point on, old customers could have problems exactly as if they would have bought the next version of a normal (non-BIS) game. You just have to accept that this time, because they're not going to go back.

For the above reason I think I will stand pat with my 107 version.

Seems fine. (Had my struggles with Steam, un-installed the whole setup.)

Now I play Arma 2 from a boxed version, fixed all my problems.

Playing on Vista 64, Toshiba X300 laptop.

Thanks BIS, best game ever. EVER !

---------------------------

PLEASE update the 1.09 changelog, or reply to this thread, with more detailed explanations as to which missions/scenarios the above fixes apply to. I hope that the NAMES of missions/scenarios can replace the "C1" and "I1" designations, which are very unclear, at least to me. A better changelog will enhance the value of the patch!

[birtuma 28]

Still no patch on Steam! WTF?

Purist ;).

[froggyluv 2136]

I just gotta say, an this is more a reflection of the last few betas up till this one -you guys have done an outstanding job, especially with the AI.

Im playing thru the OA for really the 1st time (owned it since day1), and the friendly AI are just behaving so much better in dense areas, and the enemy are taking cover much better. Performance is quite good as well.

Thanks!

Woops! Meant this for the 1.59 thread, oh wells, close enough :D

Awesome patch. I was skeptical about the animation speeds but they help "smoothing out" the gameplay. AI is also much improved.

Thanks for all the support BIS. BTW when's the ArmA 3 coming out? :)

For anyone wanting change log, just check out the beta page ...

ftp://downloads.bistudio.com/arma2.com/update/beta/ARMA2_OA_Build_79384.log

Wont have everything but shows allot up to most recent beta.

Also I might be wrong with highlighting this but the whole "Steam only" debate, surely even this latest patch shows "signs".

I have no idea what im doing wrong, I went to join an aussie server tonight said i need 1.09 so i used 1 of the links in the first post downloaded installed 5 times because it doesnt seem to be updating my arma. I have combined operations installed so would i need something else possibly?
