[buliwyf 4]

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

[86647] MP: Fixed: When a player was JIP-ing, traffic for all other players was significantly reduced.

[86643] Fixed: Massive network traffic optimization during Join in Progress

[86620] Fixed: Searchlight turning itself off for non-server clients (http://dev-heaven.net/issues/4449)

:rolleyes:

I don't think there are many other developers than BIS hearing their users scream...

- Hold your horses, I can barely keep up :)

Downloading and hope to give it a spin later tonight, thanks BIS!

Yeah! Finally a working MP searchlight :)

I'd also really like that to get fixed: http://dev-heaven.net/issues/17852

Shouldn't take more than 5 seconds, really - it's just a wrong pathname to a wrong texture.

Cheers,

D.

Thanks BIS.

I really hope that these two bugs can make it into the final 1.60 version:

http://dev-heaven.net/issues/12170

http://dev-heaven.net/issues/3839

Should take only few minutes to fix those. :)

+ this http://dev-heaven.net/issues/24501 - which is probably harder to fix..I am not sure...

WTF just thought I would play OA again and I went to start a new LAN mp session to play a few of me missions and I click NEW press start and bam straight to desktop all I get is

Config: some input after EndOfFile.

I thought ok I will delete the last beta and try this one and it does the same thing.

Funny thing is the last beta worked ok last night?.

Please help

Sorry Dwarden I forgot mate.

I have fixed it now any way it was one of the many MP missions I downloaded last night and stuck in me MPmissions folder I deleted them all and now its fine.

Thanks

[Dwarden 1125]

ok, thanks, one problem less :)

[columdrum 11]

OMg, no more yellow chains when someones JIPs on a mission with a lot of players? :O , that is just awesome . The Searchlight thing its also great( could be better if the lightning from them were tweaked to, http://dev-heaven.net/issues/5786)

What is the ticket number?

[maddogx 13]

Seriously loving all these MP fixes, and I have to admit, I didn't expect the JIP problem to be fixed for Arma2, so it's a very pleasent surprise. (Btw. am I the only one thinking that "OA/CO Free" might be around the corner, with all these MP fixes coming in? Just a hopelessly optimistic thought. :D)

Anyway, 1.60 is definitely going to be a huge step up from 1.59, and not just in the MP department. Kudos to BIS! :)

[sickboy 13]

No I don't think you should expect an OA-free, certainly not before A3 :) But who knows :)

CO can be made freely from OA with A2 Free though, with some lower texture quality etc.

This configuration is fully supported by SU as well, and I am planning on adding A2 Free to the SU network as mod too, to make it even easier.

For best quality textures, and SP content (missions/campaigns) etc, it's recommended to get the full original A2 game though :P

Highly Interessting!

There is still the bug where your teammates (AI) detect enemies through hills and mountains, similar the light passes through them in the video linked in this ticket...

Don't forget to load -mod=expansion\beta;expansion\beta\expansion Edited November 30, 2011 by Sickboy

I am, its running at 1.6, and I can press through this error and start the server then join it with a 1.6 client

Then you need to fix your Start-In folder, as it's probably set to ARMA 2\expansion\beta instead of ARMA 2.

It has to be either of the two things I mentioned, or both :)

[UGLY58 10]

You got it, not quite like your suggestion as I run it through Fire Daemon but sent me in the right direction - Thanks

AGAIN :)
