I have noticed a bug with the HDR Aperature effect.

Notice how extreme the light level changes are. This is standing in the same spot, taken at the same time but facing different directions.

Something is obviously not right here. It's eitheir a bug or the aperture effect is attempting to simulate pupil contraction very poorly by agressively darkening the scene.

I've noticed a similar effect during sundown while walking to Safeway once. I could hardly see while looking toward the sun and could see perfectly looking anywhere but. Its fairly realistic, though maybe a little overdone/slow in some cases. Just don't look at the sun. :rolleyes:

It is way over-done then. I know the pupils contract in bright light but it certainley will not make the scene drastically darker. I stand outside my house, I look towards the sun that is low in the sky i then turn around and look behind me and there is hardly any change in brightness. I only see glare and shimmering when looking in the direction of the sun. No darkening of the scene.

The problem is that the HDR implementation takes into account all things on the screen, whereas it should be mostly using the center of your view to calculate. Otherwise you can have a tiny dot of sun in the very corner and get blinded all of a sudden.

4. be ready to get touch with us when we need more details :)

I had this issue on my server(s). Fixed it for now by creating a new profile (1:1 copy&paste from the old profile, just changed the name to something longer)

1. ArmA 2 (Retail DVD) + Arrowhead (Sprocket) + BAF (Sprocket) + PMC (Sprocket)

2. Windows 7 x64

3. C:\Users\BTK\Documents\ArmA 2\BTK.ArmA2OAProfile

4. Sure.

More details:

- I do not get a kicked message at all.

- I do get stuck on either "Wait for Host" or "Joining game..."

- So I go back to server browser using ESC

- It takes about a minute until my ghost disconnects after that

Server log:

I had this exact problem when trying to connect to non 94799 servers. I filtered my servers by 94799 and was able to connect to them all just fine. It would seem that something was changed that is not allowing backwards compatibility anymore.
