[93398] New: System chat like player connected/disconnected switched to CCSystem=6 channel. New configuration opportunity disableChannels[]={chan1,chan2,...}; in mission description.ext file possible.

last beta seems to miss up2date of the key part, named arma2oaserver.exe :), here is it http://www.gamefront.com/files/21781692/arma2oaserver_160_93398.7z ,

SHA-1: C8B79E027C45AD90D41DA3D5E3EEF596F4A206F0

* ^ so note You need EDIT mission file and add that to description.ext to take effect

+ server crash fixes (must for server hosters)

+ client crash fixes

e.g. adding into description.ext inside mission.pbo

disableChannels[]={0,1,2,6}; //this disable global, side, command and system chat

Group cann't be disabled, due to usage on role selection

MOTD and admin say have exception and will show in Global

also all system messages are now RED, moved to system from global

Regarding DayZ...its annoying to l finally log in onto a DayZ servers labeled 93389 after waiting for a free slot for 1 hour and after another 5 minutes waiting for charakter date you get kicked for unknows game version by BE.

In shot word...beta is still not BE supported.

Same here. I was having a good time as well. Back to 296 we go.

[Beagle 684]

O.K. it is about four hours later now...is it BE compatible now?

[Dwarden 1125]

note 93296 is not recommended, use 93348 as minimum ...

[Beagle 684]

What about BE whitelisting so far ?

[MisTyK 12]

Has the improved LOD blending been re-implemented already in the beta patch?

Yes, it has.

[Doomguy 0]

Yes, it has.

Thanks for the reply! There are not many forums where the company's CEO is responding to customer queries, in fact this is the only one that I know of. Keep up the great work!

Is the improved LOD blending also supposed to work for buildings? I'm not seeing much improvement for instance in the menu cutscene where the Czech soldiers are overlooking a town in a valley, with the A10 flying by. The buildings below are constantly switching between high and low LOD while the camera is panning. This happens with Object details set to anything below Very high.
