Thank you again, Dwarden. Can't wait to try this one out!

I have one sort of nitpicky request, not a criticism at all - but when a version isn't BattlEye-supported yet, could you put the emphasis on the "NOT YET supported" instead of "not yet SUPPORTED," or no capital letters at all? Sometimes the word "SUPPORTED" jumps out at me and I think, "yay!" for a split second until I read the fine print. :p

Guess that solves the mystery about what the Arma2: Operation Arrowhead Beta Steamlink is for. Great work. This will help many more to easily patch their game and get involved. :D

I recently did activate ATOC on my pc. Does anyone know if there is a ticket for the bug that makes funiture such as the shelves in supermarkets or the wardrobes in buildings transparent once ATOC (all trees+grass) is active (not related to the current beta-patches)? I did work out that the bug only occurs for when ATOC is applied to grass.

ATOC works only if You use ingame FSAA ... not PPAA ...

Thanks for the answer. I'm using FSAA on low and FXAA (+sharp) on very high. I disabled all PPAA and was able to still produce the same result. Here a short illustration:

The bug can also be reproduced with other furniture like a wardrobe in certain buildings.

Appologies for the poor quality. It seems youtube doesn't like the format I uploaded.

I did search for a ticket for it, but didn't find any. Should I create one for this?

Wow cool find _sherlock_. It does indeed happen. Only Grass_ATOC will have the transparency.

Thanks. I have been testing betas for quite some time now but all bugs were found long before I found them ;). I'm suprised that noone seems to have found this one :D (although it's unrelated to the betas)

I think this thread should be named:

ARMA 2: OA beta build 98046 (1.62 MP compatible build, post 1.62 release)

I haven't been able to duplicate that AToC issue so far.

Bug: transparent textures of shelves in supermarkets and some wardobes in buildings when ATOC "All trees + grass" is activated. The bug will not occur with ATOC only set to "All trees".

Reproduce: Simply anable FXAA and ATOC "All trees + grass" and place a character in the editor near a shop. The bug is dependend on the distance to the object and doesn't appear in 3rd person view. Have a look at the video for an illustration:

Yes, I did that, and no transparency on the same store shelves (only tested in store in Polana on Expert). See my signature for settings. All is normal no matter what AToC setting I use, and I played with other settings as well.

Strange. I could reproduce the issue with 3 other people so far and it seems kklownboy was able to get the same result. Well, here my details:

System Specifications:

- Windows 8 64bit

- AMD Phenom II X810 @3.3 GHz

- AMD Radeon HD5780

- AMD performance DDR3-Ram 16GB, 1600 MHz (6 GB used as a RamDisk for the most important pbo files, best optimisation I've ever done for Arma 2)

Settings:

Visability: 2600

Interface Resolution: 1920*1200

3D Resolution: 1920*1200

Texture details: Very High

Video Memory: Very High

Anisotropic Filtering: Very High

Antialiasing: Low

ATOC: All trees + grass

Terrain Detail: Normal

Objects Detail: High

Shadow Detail: Very High

HDR Quality: Very High

PPAA: FXAA(sharp filter) High

Postprocess effects: Disabled

Interface size: Very Small

Vsync: Disabled

ArmA2OA CFG-file

GPU_MaxFramesAhead="1";

GPU_DetectedFramesAhead="1";

Benchmark 01: 37 fps on average, never dropping bellow 28

Could be due to different drivers for AMD and Nvidia. I'll check that.

@kklownboy: Are you using an AMD or Nvidia Card? What driver do you use?

Strange indeed. My guess is AMD vs. NVIDIA vs. drivers. I fiddled with the settings for 15 minutes, and there was no shelf transparency at all.

AMD. Could be. I have seen it before. Back in the day, no ATOC, A1? the wardrobe.

In my CCC i am using Mutisample now for AA type. I will see if it will change with the other CCC options.

OT, The Beta is running with out issue, Server/Client.
