Boggy 1 Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) Myke;2173797']There you go: http://forums.bistudio.com/search.php?search_type=1 No. Sorry to burst your bubble but there is no post that solves my problem. First off, DayZ was working fine for me until today. Then I kept getting stuck on the black "loading..." screen and realized I needed to install the new 1.7.1 version. So I ran DayZ Mod Updater (from Worrom) v1.5 and it failed at the sfx file. Then I used v1.6 of the Updater and it still failed. So then I figured I need to install the beta patch first. And then while extracting that I come across the wrong cd key error. I've launched the Sic Updater tool too and it did no help either.

I've just been frustrated by this process so many times in the past 3.5 hours that I am getting quite irritable. I guess I'll have to reinstall everything from scratch tomorrow. I don't have the patience for it now. So great that this happened right when I found a bicycle ingame... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kremator 1065 Posted June 17, 2012 It's very easy to rage on the internet Boggy. There are a great many community members that would help you out however keeping calm and explaining your problems is probably the way to go. Regarding your problem I can't understand why you would have completely degraded your 1.71 installation back to 1.5 ! The beta patches are quite a step forward in terms of technology and IMHO need to be used as if they were official patches! However that is perhaps just me. Should you come up against other problems please keep calm and post here and we will help you out. Cheers (and welcome to the forums) Kremator Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't downgrade DayZ to 1.5 (my DayZ version is 1.7.0), I just used Worrom's 'DayZ Mod Updater v1.5'. But the newest version of that is v1.6 and it still didn't work.

orcinus 121 Posted June 17, 2012 Kremator, no you didn't understand my post mate. I didn't downgrade DayZ to 1.5 (my DayZ version is 1.7.0), I just used Worrom's 'DayZ Mod Updater v1.5'. But the newest version of that is v1.6 and it still didn't work. Hmm - you really should review the rules you agreed to when signing up. One of them regards searching before posting. If you had done, that you would have found the main thread here on DayZ. If you had then browsed to the most recent posts, you would have found it to be closed, with DayZ-specific questions being referred to the DayZ forum. You do not appear to have done any of that. Instead you post here whinging & whining - in more than somewhat abusive terms - to people who have tried to help you despite your fecklessness. To be as polite as possible, until you have re-read the rules and decided to be polite yourself, I suggest you go forth and multiply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boggy 1 Posted June 17, 2012 you post here whinging & whining - in more than somewhat abusive terms I don't consider "what the fuck" to be 'more than somewhat abusive' of a term but to each their own. This is not a DayZ specific problem because it relates to the Arma2 beta patch. Yes, I need it in order to run DayZ but its not an exclusive issue... I'm still hoping for a helpful reply instead of one lecturing me on my approach :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[frl]myke 14 Posted June 17, 2012 @Boggy please control your language, most users in this forum aren't familiar with teenage slang. ;) Take it as friendly reminder. BTT, regarding what Dwarden wrote above, did you already tried to re-download the beta patch? Run it as Administrator? You know, the common stuff i found when searching for "wrong CD key". As a sidenote, i used Worrom's updater just today ind it worked fine and i still use the 1.45 version of it. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Millenium7 0 Posted June 18, 2012 I'm hoping someone can help. I've left ArmA2 alone for about 2 weeks, yesterday I applied the latest beta patch and tried to start it up the usual way through arma2 launcher. I get to the first screen with the tanks in the foreground and hangers/jeeps in the background and the game will crash to desktop with... Problem signature: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: arma2oa.exe Application Version: 1.60.93.825 Application Timestamp: 4fdb3f79 Fault Module Name: arma2oa.exe Fault Module Version: 1.60.93.825 Fault Module Timestamp: 4fdb3f79 Exception Code: c0000005 Exception Offset: 0011d188 OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.1 Locale ID: 3081 Additional Information 1: 0a9e Additional Information 2: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789 Additional Information 3: 0a9e Additional Information 4: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789 this was NOT happening previously, and if I run 'without' the beta patch it works fine. Strangely even if I revert to a beta patch I had working previously, it too will cause a crash. log files here http://www.sendspace.com/file/az96bv I'm not aware of changing anything and my system is fine for everything else.

NoRailgunner 0 Posted June 18, 2012 Millenium7 what happen if you start A2OA via link ("Launch Arma2 OA Beta Patch") that is in your main A2OA folder? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Millenium7 0 Posted June 18, 2012 same problem. Doesn't matter if it's run by launcher or shortcut, still crashes at startup before getting to main menu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoRailgunner 0 Posted June 18, 2012 Starting A2OA will show you the Desert intro, starting only with A2 shows Utes intro. Just make a clean reinstall eg delete ArmA2OA.cfg and Beta folder/stuff before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Millenium7 0 Posted June 18, 2012 I could understand maybe a config file gone wrong, I think a clean install is unnecessary. latest official patch works fine, but now 'any' beta patch does not. It's specifically to do with running the beta. normal patch lets me load and play fine. I'd rather avoid downloading enormous data again if possible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoRailgunner 0 Posted June 18, 2012 Betabuilds are a bit smaller ~8MB compared to full "final"/"stable" A2OA updates/patches to download. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fruity_rudy 16 Posted June 18, 2012 I got this patch on our server, when i enable sig check on server, it kicks me out of server lobby without anything but "connection to server aborted". I had to add 2 keys on the server, i connected and it gave me the message, that there#s no bisign for latest jarhead. I added the key, joined server, instant kick out of lobby without any other message. When i disable sig check verifySignatures=0; i can join and stay. Any clue? server rpt doesn't say anything strange, my rpt is full with this -->Warning: no type entry inside class RscDisplayChannel/controls/Channel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jastreb 69 Posted June 18, 2012 I got this patch on our server, when i enable sig check on server, it kicks me... I suggest you seek advice in Servers section rather than here. Obviously something is wrong with your server configuration nothing to do with beta patch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
afp 1 Posted June 18, 2012 The LOD is weird again, now it has a delay, it's not really what it should be. Also this one can be considered an issue, at least for ArmA 3: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?136107-Realistic-optics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maturin 12 Posted June 19, 2012 Ever since the Beta Patches that did this: [93812] Fixed: Restrict gamma value set by profile [93809] Fixed: Restrict brightness value set by profile ...my brightness and/or gamma settings have been drastically lowered on Chernarus. Both settings in Video Options remain untouched at the 1.0 defaults, yet my game is much darker. Raising Brightness and Gamma cannot restore the original look to the unpatched game. The darker, richer colors look great in the daytime, but during the evening, shadows become impenetrably dark, inhibiting my ability to see. Worse yet, for almost the entire night, my game becomes pitch-black. Where before, moonlight would illuminate open areas and allow operations without NVGs, now the entire island is shadowed in complete darkness. I can't play against AI or humans in these conditions, because they can see MUCH more than I can. I don't entirely understand why the above changes should have this effect, but it is a major problem.

OMAC 254 Posted June 20, 2012 With this beta, playing in Chernarus, instead of CTDs, the game freezes momentarily and then reloads (black "Receiving..." screen), and then the mission resumes. I guess this is a good thing. No flush needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoRailgunner 0 Posted June 20, 2012 Some easier things to fix: those single turret headlights on BMP's, BRDM's etc are still on - even if these vehicles are destroyed. Btw would be in general better if all damaged/destroyed vehicles don't start to burn or explode. Please fix that the T-90 deploys a smoke screen (APS/Shtora) and not the Takistani T-72. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
