does this patch adds more than last beta patch?

[jimsolo 12]

Should I touch this or wait for Steam to get it? Steam shows nothing to indicate a new patch... :mad:

I definitely love how clicking on enemies isn't an automatic ENGAGE. Spotting for an AI sniper is so much easier now that I can just point and click at the enemy I want him to shoot at. Ordering units into cover is excellent as well. Very well done patch.

The patch is steam compatible, d/l it and install. Even says so on the announcement.

very nice but the AI is still shooting through trees and high grass

i cant even see them if i activate full gras

but they can see and shoot me

Its been like that since Arma came out man, just turn the grass off like me and be happy :)

Did someone else also get wierd tree textures in front of you? Very pixily.

And painted at distance?

Have:

I7

6gb ram

gtx 285 top latest drivers.

No addons

Not at home so cannot provide screenshot jet.

For me, I love this update, but one needs to dial down the ingame AA setting because, I think, the new updates uses AToC which can make trees and grass look fuzzy or snowy on Nvidia card unless you incrementally dial down the AA setting.

Well done on the release BIS.

A lot of hard work went into this patch, and although there where some hopes for additional content.....the crux of it now is everyone can patch up and utilize the important work that was evident in the betas : ) VON fixes etc

The Performance is "feeling" better in 1.59

-(http://dev-heaven.net/issues/16133) Fix it for 1.60 Please !!!

First of all thanks to BIS for the update and new patch.

Well I have the same FPS in benchmark 08 now as before (49 FPS) .

Sometimes the game feels more smooth and sometimes I get low FPS during explosions.

I have to do more testing and ofcourse I will report any good or bad experiences .:)

that's probably ATOC

http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/arma2.cfg#Example

read and experiement with settings

For the tree and grass thing:

I'm sorry to say, but i've tried every setting from ATOC 0 to 7 and changes all setting in the videooptions menu. But it doesn't disappear. Didn't had it in 1.57.

Does only me and that other guy have these problems? Any other suggestions?

The rest looks great, only need a ssd at the moment :P

I get it to and i'm also using a gtx285, the trees and grass dont look very nice, very cartoon looking and the colours :eek: trees look lime green with a strange blur just on the trees and grass :( also the game feels very laggy, unplayable at my normal settings,

Did you change the games start code or something? :(

My batch files no longer work.

START "ArmA" "D:\Program files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2oa.exe"

And it just stops responding.

Have you switched off ATOC settings in config, sounds like your describing what that does (smooths leaves / grass via AA options and can add to FPS drop). Or just turn off AA and see.

Maybe im wrong but BIS should maybe highlight ATOC the most out of the entire patch as that's going to have a direct noticeable effect on PC's with it being on by default if you know nothing about it.

[-=seany=- 5]

Why would they have ATOC enabled by default? Maybe they like big long threads of the same question. Doesn't make much sense to me either. The effect looks terrible anyway.

Looks like the community is refusing to upgrade...still only two servers with 1.59 online in my ping limit with a total player count of 12.
