Couple bugs I've come across in the 1.59.80955 and 1.59.81201 betas thus far. Edited May 21, 2011 by Zipper5

2 times tested resulted in 2 CTD's.

-First crash sent me instantly to the desktop without any error report.

-Second crash started with heavy lag for a few seconds and then a CTD with the message "ARMA2 has encountered a problem and need to close".

This last time where i had a clean dump/RPT i also used tons of addons (wasnt testing the beta but wanted to play around a bit), but maybe it will help.

Download: Dump+RPT

My ARMAII crashed when I choosed "new" server/game option in multiplayer. But only once. Also I noted that the reloading anim working fine only when lying.

Another bug: dead/killed AT soldiers (AI) are standing around and don't fall down - kinda like "frozzen in death-animation". Maybe its just something wrong/messed up with this death-animation if AI is using/switching AT or any other launcher/secondary weapon?

[Dwarden 1125]

and again, what to do (how-to report/where/to who) if you have crash:

Tracers are still broken.

When firing a large caliber weapon (like, say, SAW) - sometimes tracers are like 5m long lasers passing through soldier's shoulder into the gun - and then going out of a gun and disappearing right away after that instead of flying further and hitting the ground.

May I presume incorrect IR lasers, tracers and flashlights are there because of some content changes of 1.60 for which the beta is made and we just have the older version of content?

No crashes. Excellent performance.

I get an turret error message (the message occurs only on the main menu, when starting up, or returning from editor or scenarios/campaign). Tried with beta patch 81201, and only vanilla OA - no mods

Thanks Suma. :)

No new issues found so far.

I can confirm this bug. Also AI seems to stay still often in danger mode like they are frozen.

Yeah, at least one who gets that strange error,too.

I get that 'turret error message' (for different tanks) with this and the beta before.

Same goes for 'out of memory' ctd´s :(

I just noticed that my fps went down from 33fps with 1.59 patch to 23fps with this build in OA benchmark mission... not good.

Just... remove the command line and folder.

Right?

Something wrong with "grenade throw" animation:

take a smoke grenade and throw it - smoke grenade is hitting short on the ground and bouncing away. Should have the same "flight path" like a hand grenade.

Tracers from MG's and cannons are flying through objects eg tank turrets.

You just go back to vanilla short cut or remove all "beta" references, the beta doesn't add to your main game files its just a short cut to run it just like an addon does.
