Mack. 58 Posted March 20, 2014 Hoping to see a final patch released soon and get everyone on the same page. I'm still playing the outstanding Cold War Rearmed 2. Thinking about it, was there ever a final Arma 1 patch released? And will the Linux server be added to CWA? Would be nice to see these games finalised once and for all.

SavageCDN 231 Posted March 20, 2014 I asked the same thing about a 5 minutes change in the code to stop spamming the screen with script errors, got the answer I gave you. They could have probably leave ONE guy still assigned to A2, but oh well... Yeah it's too bad.. .well let's hope once A3 updates calm down a bit they put some focus back on A2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
domokun 515 Posted March 20, 2014 Here, here. Moreover I believe that several major mod teams that are waiting for 1.63 before shipping their final version (Unsung 2.6, I44 2.7, CWR2), to avoid having to release post-1.63 patches. This is especially significant because I think that, after taking a well-earned rest, many of them with then jump over to A3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would be nice to see these games finalised once and for all. Yes there was a final ArmA 1.18 but at that point ArmA II was already at 1.05 and ArmA multiplayer servers ceased to exist. But that won't happen with A2 since it is simply the better game even compared to A3 (The original A2 not OA that was a step backwards in realism based gameplay) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seba1976 98 Posted March 21, 2014 since [A2] is simply the better game even compared to A3 (The original A2 not OA that was a step backwards in realism based gameplay) You can't be serious :). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beagle 684 Posted March 21, 2014 You can't be serious :).I'am, if you look away from all the shiny and bad implemented stuff like TI and Countermeasure that came with OA it's still Plain old arma II that Ãst best to run chernarus and at lest there the A.I. chat system still fullyworks...it is broken since 1.57. And haven't you noticed the amout of small features that ArmA II has and that were removed in OA? O the same System l<yarge scale mission still work better in ArmA II, depite the claims of BIS that OA would run everthing better...it does not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwarden 1124 Posted March 21, 2014 Beagle that's nice nonsense you wrote there ... OA runs A2 content faster ... for several reasons ... also the TI in OA was best done at that time in any end user game... and still surpas most Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonci87 163 Posted March 21, 2014 We contected BattlEye. They reverted to version 1.208 until they can solve the problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beagle 684 Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) Beagle that's nice nonsense you wrote there ... OA runs A2 content faster ... for several reasons ...also the TI in OA was best done at that time in any end user game... and still surpas most Dwarden I have used Thermal imaging in the late 90's on Spähpanzer Luchs and just recently worked for KMW and wittnessed TI tests in the brandnew PUMA and you know that BIS simply used a layer of textures, But real Devices do not deliver sich crisp pictures under all circumstances, especialyl not when moisture and dust beginn to scatter the waves, neither does the temperature of environment and air play a great role in OA, TI in OA works much to perfect and should not give you the option of easy target distinction. It shoudkl be really hard to tell a vehicle types from each other beyond 2000m. Also I had repoeted it numerous times that features of the original A2 units do not work anymore in OA. Examples the tinitus sound, breaking glass on HMMWVs and the whole chat and report system for ALICE and own AI. An I can definately run mission with larger VD and more A.I, with much higher frames compared to OA. Obviously the threshhold for client fps drop is much lower in 1.62 compared to 1.11 CTI became impossiblöe to ply with High AI counts after 1.57 in A2 it still works...the AI is rubberbanding but at least you can play the whole mission with decent fps. Another thing that killed tactical gameplay in OA was the possibilty to command a tank as driver with full tab and shoot capability and radar for everone. Somw of that is party solved in 1.62 betas...but those are also only party used. Edited March 21, 2014 by Beagle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nettrucker 142 Posted March 23, 2014 Yeah I would also like to know why BIS is holding back the 1.63 patch which most probably will be the last one we are going to see for ArmA CO. At least we could fix our stuff and move on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

$able 2 Posted March 27, 2014 after server upgrade to v1.190 again all throws from the server Any details? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tiit 10 Posted March 27, 2014 The same issue as markusua posted. I think this is new (1.214) battleye client related. Yesterday my linux server was running on: Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead betapatch v1.63.112555 from __https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_Dedicated_Server#Linux_2 Battleye Server v1.185 from battleye.com My Battleye client version was 1.208. Arma2 OA client version 112555. My OS is Windows x64. I was in game and after battley client updated from 1.208 to 1.214 my game crashed to desktop. I login through rcon and see that all players on server began to have problems with connectivity: Player xxx kicked off by BattlEye: Client not responding Player xxx disconnected. Player yyy kicked off by BattlEye: Client not responding Player yyy disconnected. Player zzz kicked off by BattlEye: Client not responding Player zzz disconnected. I login through ssh to server, check network and everything was normal with internet connection: I open logs and discover only new phrase in logs: Player xxx is losing connection Player xxx kicked off by BattlEye: Client not responding Player xxx disconnected. I tried three more times to go in game and everytime after 1-2 minutes in game the arma oa.exe crashed to desktop. This was on v1.185 battley server. I restarted arma oa server and discover that now it running with 1.190 battleye server. I tried to dive in game, but arma oa still have issue with crash to desktop. Rcon says me that all players on server have problem with clients: "Client not responding" I redownload BEClient.dll v1.214 from battleye.com and put it in Expansion/Battleye folder on my game client, but it not helps. The same issue: Client not responding Then I turned off battleye server in server.cfg and gaming 2 hours without any problems. I think that BEClient.dll v1.214 have problems with connectivity to linux version of dedicated server Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead v1.63.112555. Sorry for my english.

tiit 10 Posted March 27, 2014 No. After yesterday update game crashes, if battleye on linux server turned on. May be wrong BEClient.dll was published? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
$able 2 Posted March 27, 2014 No. After yesterday update game crashes, if battleye on linux server turned on. May be wrong BEClient.dll was published? Did you test it again after my post?

IcyDennis 10 Posted March 27, 2014 Yeah I would also like to know why BIS is holding back the 1.63 patch which most probably will be the last one we are going to see for ArmA CO. At least we could fix our stuff and move on. Because if they leave ArmA2 in this half-broken state, they hope everyone moves on to ArmA3. Never before they made us waiting that long for a patch. Also don't forget that the current BI is no more the same they were years ago. They obviously have no more interest in military simulations but focus on stuff like DayZ and probably next something 'Life' related. The customers there are easier to please than the hardcore milsim crowd. I highly doubt we will ever see another official patch for ArmA2, as sad as this is. It might be better to use 1.62 as basis for our own fixes as long as ArmA2 lives. As far as it concerns me, Carrier Command was my last BI game. That's another half-finished game released by them and abandoned after they got enough cash out of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goliath86 11 Posted March 27, 2014 I think that ArmA 2 is much better than ArmA 3. Beyond the graphics (ArmA 3 is far superior than ArmA 2) the gameplay of ArmA 3 is worse, in my opinion. It seems that nowadays software houses primarily dot the visual aspect and not the substance of the game itself. I personally would have gladly paid for one or more patches of ArmA 2 rather than buying ArmA 3 :j: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tom3kb 15 Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) Maybe bis want to release 1.63 the same way as they do with patch 1.99 for Operation Flashpoint -> 10th year anniversary patch. If yes we must wait only 6 more years. ;) And in 2020 we will have new 1.63 patch. :D Edited March 28, 2014 by tom3kb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seba1976 98 Posted March 28, 2014 This argument that A2 is superior to A3 is absurd. I suggest anyone still feeling that way to give A3 a real chance and start playing it and porting their content to the new platform. I did, and it changed my perspective 180 degrees. A3 is, in every aspect, a step forward in the series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dunedain 48 Posted March 28, 2014 When they finally release the final patch for OA, I seriously hope they clean that mess they made on Steam. It's currently five shortcuts for A2 alone, plus ArmaX as a sixth for no good reason... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's currently five shortcuts for A2 alone, plus ArmaX as a sixth for no good reason... describe mess ? Arma X shortcut is for bonus content, A2F, A2, OA, BAF, PMC were separate ... no idea what you mean with 5 shortcuts .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
