Dwarden 1125 Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) let me quote myself, the dlls of allocators are missing from RC i discovered that \dll\ folder is not present in the RC at all so it's using "Windows" allocator all the time ... oops it got missing while packaging the RC ;) p.s. check if you dont have beta listed in Extensions (UI) so please in Your game UI goto Extension > select ARMA 2 OA beta and choose Disable and restart game :) ---------- Post added at 04:29 ---------- Previous post was at 04:27 ---------- When the patch has become final i suppose steam will automatically start downloading it for me? this is RC = release candidate, so that's not yet on STEAM when the final version is ready it will be published on STEAM Edited December 3, 2011 by Dwarden Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bazza_1964 10 Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) Seems to work fine with a Steam install. Although if you use something like six updater, make sure you run it once through Steam first to re-build the registry.EDIT ----> It did not touch my Arma2 install though - I am still at 1.10.80665 - is that correct? The release notes say 1.11. I'm in the same boat: Combined Ops on Steam, OA at 1.60, but A2 at 1.10....I could use Armarize to launch it I suppose, as I have Beta 1.11 installed...hmm... edit: I forgot to "unblock" the original .rar file! It's updating now....bravo by the way! edit: Still isn't updating A2....hmmmm...running in WinXP sp2 comp mode... baz Edited December 3, 2011 by bazza_1964 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ffur2007slx2_5 11 Posted December 3, 2011 Awesome job BIS! But I think it'll be better if the BAF campaign can be removed from CO's campaign list for those who haven't bought Reinforcement or DLCs because the game will shut off if you miss click the title.

wiggum2 31 Posted December 3, 2011 Hi ! What if the final will be differed in some way, will i be able to update the RC to the final or do i have to reinstall the whole game to get the final patch working ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dimitri_harkov 10 Posted December 3, 2011 Two recent beta-patch changes are missing from the 1.60 RC changelog: [86851] Fixed: Vehicles attached on ships attached to objects sometimes destroyed (http://dev-heaven.net/issues/26668) [86839] Fixed: Cannot manipulate doors after game was aborted with doors in transit. (http://dev-heaven.net/issues/26702) Just an oversight in the changelog or have the fixes not been included in the RC for any reason? In any case: big thanks to BIS for the continued support :) Cheers, D. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sgt_savage 586 Posted December 3, 2011 Something wrong here, my performance has dipped when turning round or flying in Heli I'm stuttering severely the PC is trying to catch up, didn't happen with patch 1.59, Anyone else having this issue? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xmongx 0 Posted December 3, 2011 Did you try defrag after applying patch?, thats the usual suspect for me. Look into using contig to defrag only the arma2 folder, works wonders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fireball 16 Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) Hmm, I got an error while installing the RC: Please be patient. This update may appear to take a long time to complete. It is updating and installing very large data. ARMA 2 OA ARMA 2 OA: Updating version 1.59 to version 1.60... Error found in file expansion\addons\languagemissions_e.pbo (c0a54b30!=2dad4060) ArmA 2: Updating version 1.10 to version 1.11... ArmA 2 patch 1.11 has been applied successfully.

ArmA 2 PMC patch 1.02 has been applied successfully. It offered me Abort/Retry/Ignore and I chose Ignore and it continued patching at least. Any idea what happened to this file now, since it seems to have the same date as of today (patch day), like any other file after patching: File: languagemissions_e.pboCRC-32: f91078e6 MD4: c6f6b0ff642a7ee99e370d58b9d44be8 MD5: 0b1f0cd0a918fe1d92d36ac4f892aafc SHA-1: 069186aae3906c4a3d6705daa8869de96a796267 Checksums before patching (also with the same date as most other files in Expansion\Addons): File: languagemissions_e.pbo CRC-32: 11c0f39d MD4: 4e5e894283ca6162aa36b0b42c3b0012 MD5: 545e293c32055abe5ab585fcf0b7de8a SHA-1: 909560470f24a0275c6c50adba05875d06fee7de EDIT: My OA is IDEA/Peter Games retail and previously never showed problems patching, including 1.59.

Neopas 10 Posted December 3, 2011 Hello and thanks for the great support. Patching process was successful but I get worse performance and more texture popping now when I run the OA benchmark.Fragmentation should not be an issue since the game is installed on an Intel drive.I am downloading latest beta now ,to get the dll folder and test the different allocators, to see if it helps. RPT file is giving me dozens of lines of: Cannot load sound 'ca\dubbingradio_e\radio\male04tk\default\weapons\cannonlow.ogg' Cannot load sound 'ca\dubbingradio_e\radio\male04tk\default\weapons\machinegun.ogg' (Looks like I am missing the voice of the Takistan Army T-72 commander telling the gunner to switch weapons .) This means I have to reinstall the game and patch again? Win XP32sp3,285.58 WHQL driver. A2 Retail,A2OA+DLC Sprocket. Any help appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guess Who 10 Posted December 3, 2011 First: Thanx BIS for the providing the continued hard work and the best support ever. Second: Not to forget the countless community members contributing to it by testing all those betas as well as providing the tools like CIT/DevHeaven. They should not go unnoticed. Thanx guys. Third: The solution to copy the DLL-directory from the beta-folder to the ArmA root folder works. Fouth: The RC broke Norrin's Aerial Taxi script. It does work in principle, but the helo only moves at very slow speed, like 20 or 30 km/h. Seems like a regression from the last beta. I'll report this issue over at norrin's thread in the scripting forum as well. Might have to do with the doMove command not working as expected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
