the build contain quite some of crash fixes I mentioned last two weeks

suggested to be used for server hosting as it shall be noticeably stabler

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

(compressed e.g. to my email (which is my BIForum nickname @ bistudio.com)with subject CRASH)

BattlEye compatibility: ... SUPPORTED, enjoy ! ...

note: also deployed on STEAM! (inside "test" branch, default beta is 103419)

Testing this betabuild in vanilla A2OA with E08 benchmark mission (Takistan) - errors/bugs in arma2oa.rpt

File ca\Data\ParticleEffects\SCRIPTS\destruction\AirDestructionStage2.sqf, line 59 Error in expression < select 2]}; _tv=abs(_xv)+abs(_yv)+abs(_zv); if (_tv>2) then {_dr=1/_tv} else {> Error position: 2) then {_dr=1/_tv} else {> Error Undefined variable in expression: _zv

and

File ca\Data\ParticleEffects\SCRIPTS\destruction\AirDestructionStage2.sqf, line 59 Error in expression Error position: Error Undefined variable in expression: _shards

and

File ca\Data\ParticleEffects\SCRIPTS\destruction\AirDestructionStage2.sqf, line 71

and

Error in expression 0; if (BIS_fnc_init && !_recompile) exitwith {t> Error position: Error Undefined variable in expression: bis_fnc_init File ca\Modules\Functions\init.sqf, line 28

guess the old sound issues will remain in A2OA forever eg

Cannot load sound 'ca\dubbingradio_e\radio\male02tk\default\weapons\machinegun.ogg'

and

Cannot load sound 'ca\dubbingradio_e\radio\male01tk\default\weapons\cannonlow.ogg'

Fun thing, seems they changed the error_reporting level (that seems raise in 105785) back to before-state _BUT_ only for there internal scripts? -and also that only partly as it became less spamy, but not all ca\ stuff is gone yet-

Speaking of

these script issues are on schedule, but the team is atm busy with E3 and Arma 3 beta ...

As i guess _loads_ of addons/mods/maps/missions-contributors will have the same problem, is there the chance to get that controllable?

Problem to solve is that a Missiondesigner might need the -showScriptErrors - but shouldn't really be bothered with 'Faults he cant fix' that overspam the faults hes looking for.

Maybe switches to set the level in specific scopes (core, addon, mission?) or similar could help, don´t know...

Any others experiencing radar ghosting in mp cti with the 3 latest betas?

Any others experiencing radar ghosting in mp cti with the 3 latest betas?

Yes I've noticed this on 106400 and 105785, not sure if it was there before or not. In particular its on warfare be .73.2 as I play almost exclusively on a single server. However as far as I'm aware the host has not changed that mission file in months so I can't see that being a factor.

basically the radar picks up phantom resistance AI on the radar and my AI will spot it and even target it. However there's nothing actually there when I drive over

[Vipera 10]

I see radar ghosting with the last two-three betas. My AI start to attack empty space. I also notice some duplicated markers on the map. For example, I saw three friendly MHQ markers in the different parts of map at the same time.

With this beta i get about 30 mb of this same error when game starts "Warfare BE 073.3

Worked fine with 103718

Error in expression <_this select 7} else {550};

waitUntil {townModeSet && WFBE_Parameters_Ready};

>

Error position: <townModeSet && WFBE_Parameters_Ready};

>

Error Undefined variable in expression: townmodeset

Also it made headless client crash last night

[Dwarden 1125]

you need define variables after "spawn" now ! ... so the missions and scripts needs to be updated accordingly (hence why I said our own A2 and OA scripts, modules, functions must be updated also)

[Bouben 3]

Anyone has a problem with AI moving through buildings in towns generated by the module? It happens to me very often lately.

[johnsm 1]

any idea what this errors can cause by?

I tried 3 older betas and server / clients run no addons or mods running latest Benny warfare and other maps

I get about 10-20 of this errors in RPT every second/

cannot use magazine XXXXX in muzzle XXXXXX
