ARMA 2: OA beta build 86218

[suma 8]

http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php

[86217] Improved thermal imaging for models with no TI data (http://dev-heaven.net/issues/16673)

Also fixed http://dev-heaven.net/issues/26256 properly.

With a little luck this could be the last beta before the Release Candidate of the 1.60 patch. Please, check and verify all reported regressions, esp. in recent fixes, to see if there is anything which would block RC.

Great! Big thanks to you and everyone who have reported, provided feedback, testing etc!

It's been a long road, but it has been very much worth it!

Just....

And TI adjustments for models that don't have TI Maps has been arranged too; http://dev-heaven.net/issues/16673#note-5

(bow) Suma (bow).

... what's next, Tank Smoke Launchers that don't automatically throw smoke anymore in MP if Player is commander, and thus not causing multiplication * amount of connected players, crashes, ruined games, angry faces etc? :D

Or the good old: I loose my gear when tired near/in the water, and the gear is multiplied * amount of connected players, causing large network traffic, desync and other issues? http://dev-heaven.net/issues/26162

The cause of these two might just be related..

And probably also related to the very old bug (I think mostly fixed now) when trying to put too many items into ammo boxes - the boxes would spill, and this would also multiply * amount of connected players ;P

Armstrong made enough votes there!

Suma can you look into this before 1.60 comes out?

http://dev-heaven.net/issues/23559

There were a lot of improvements for AI but it should use crouch stance when it doesn't go prone instead of standing when possible.

[carlostex 38]

I confirm that fix on #25348 is broken. Every repro does confirm it actually.

[OMAC 254]

Confirmed broken:

http://dev-heaven.net/issues/25348

AI behavior travelling across Takistan oil pipes is still ok.

I might have seen it wrong or maybe i didn't test that one, but chernarus repro and utes are definately showing broken

Sorry, not for 1.60. There is multitude of improvements still possible, and some of them are likely to be implement in future patches, but no more are considered for 1.60.

[gossamersolid 155]

This should be fixed for sure:

http://dev-heaven.net/issues/17458

[On_Sabbatical 11]

Is it possible to fix these bugs in 1.60:

-Planes shoot flares automatically when locked by another plane (http://dev-heaven.net/issues/17821)

-ATTAKA missile is terribly inaccurate.(http://dev-heaven.net/issues/23311)

[suma 8]

This should be fixed for sure:

http://dev-heaven.net/issues/17458

Even this is unlikely to be fixed for 1.60. The waiting for stable patch has been already way too long and we really want to get it out of the door.

Great hope to see it soon im becoming Impatient do you thin it will be out before December?

[Tonci87 163]

And there will be a Patch after 1.6?

[gibaba123 10]

man, need correct the ati 11. driver bug, the texture option is locked in normal and low

[metalcraze 290]

OK, Suma. Just fix 25348 (again) and it's time for RC

[RSF TheCapulet 59]

I'd rather 1.60 get released now. It seems like it's made a ton of ground, so there's no point delaying it any longer.

I would like to see 1.61 focus more on content fixes rather than programming bug fixes. Just sayin'. :)

[das attorney 857]

Any chance of looking at this one before 1.60 rolls out:

http://dev-heaven.net/issues/25927

It was introduced in the beta's somewhere. I could work round it, but would be nice if fixed :)

[nkenny 1051]

Yay! Great job BIS. Given the frequency of beta releases its often hard to see the distance travelled. Compare the current beta to 1.59 however, and the list of fixes are considerable. Can't wait to see what sort of config/model/mission level fixes are implemented.

:)

[Craig_VG 20]

Glad to hear it. I am in favor of you getting it out the door.

The fixlist is, indeed, quite considerable. Thanks BIS!

Well as long as we see a 1.61, that's a very reasonable outlook on it. If there isn't going to be a 1.61, then I think it's pretty imperative that a bug that causes crashes should be addressed.

[RSF TheCapulet 59]

There's still recent releases of patches for older BIS games than A2/OA. So I think it's reasonable to expect patches to continue for the foreseeable future.

[burdy 11]

It seems that alot of GTX 400 series users (including me) are getting low GPU usage (and bad FPS because of it).. Any chance that this will be fixed by 1.60 release?
