(if you still get any crashes, it's very important for us to get server's mdmp,bidmp,rpt files

New issues/bugs? Did a quicktest in vanilla A2OA start "Benchmark 08" writes this in arma2oa.rpt:

Global namespace not passed during: true Error in expression Error position: Error Local variable in global space

next

Is someone trying to tweak/fix modules and scripts?

[thhamm 53]

Yap, i get lots of scripterrors too now.

[Dwarden 1125]

the change included in OA beta, is that all undefined variables are now reported, before it was just execVM but not spawn

[thhamm 53]

Hehe okay. Time for some code cleanup.

[Daio 10]

after installing the beta patch my menu is useless and game freezes after loading the menu

this happens only to me or some other too?

[On_Sabbatical 11]

ok ticket made for setWeaponState,i hope it will get some attention !

https://dev-heaven.net/issues/71850

[domokun 515]

It seems like this build is incompatible with the latest version of @CBA_CO (b196).

Now before you start building your pyres, I think that CBA is an exception to the "patches don't have to be compatible with mods, rather its the opposite" as it is and has been a key building block in many mods for many years.

This is the first time that I've encountered such an incompatibility.

I'm not looking to account blame but rather find solutions.

[gc8 977]

hmm the official HC module seems to have undefined variables:

Error in expression <ECT];
_logic setvariable ["GUI_STAT_WP",_GUI_STAT_WP];
_logic setvariable ["GUI_>
 Error position: <_GUI_STAT_WP];
_logic setvariable ["GUI_>
 Error Undefined variable in expression: _gui_stat_wp
File ca\modules\hc\data\scripts\HC_GUI.sqf, line 638

i also get hangup at mission start in my own mission. could be some mod causing it though (getting lots of errors from mods) .

EDIT: it turns out CBA (mod) version 0.8.3.175 causes a hangup at mission start, even with new missions.

RPT after trying to play PMC Versus mission pack with ACE and CBA_CO. At mission start, A2OA froze, requiring hard process kill. So I reverted to 103718, and everything worked perfectly.

https://dev-heaven.net/issues/71850

so, you don't need to panic, setWeaponState do not exist ;) ...

it was present as some point of time, but later was renamed to setWeaponReloadingTime http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setWeaponReloadingTime

i'm really sorry that the page was forgotten on BIKI

[NoRailgunner 0]

Any ideas why CBA doesn't work (now A2OA freezes in main menu) anymore with this betabuild? Tested with vanilla A2OA beta + @CBA_CO but need to kill the arma2oa process via taskmanager. :confused:

You gave it some attention and this is the most important !

Thanks :D

Thanks :D

well I thank you too, definitely faster fix than something actually broken :)

[Wiki 1558]

dumb question but will there be a patch 1.63?

[On_Sabbatical 11]

Guys,we really need this patch out very soon ...

patch what? there are other issues to be fixed like game freezes

[On_Sabbatical 11]

Yes,i am aware of this ... are there any "particular" freezes,we could help with ? what about CCP ? what is the status ? is it going to be included as it is now or a more developped version is being waited for ?

I know that you're busy with arma 3 these days,but the difference between 95248 and this beta is huge !

[Beagle 684]

ArmA II needs the current changes now...any later and there is no need for any patch in the future because there wil be no futher A2 MP.

Please patch VON. Since last patch, it often breaks up, making side channel useless. Betas don't seem to have addressed it either. We run a large public server (40+ players) and since last patch, this has been an ongoing problem. Before last patch, it was fine, even with large number of players.

Overreacting much? Just downgrade.

some repro ? what VON settings are used? what builds were tested (aka which was last working or so etc) ... please more details instead of just "it's broken"
