Squadron_2 10 Posted July 16, 2014 At the moment there are allot of problems regarding the latest beta patches towards server hosters and modders. BIS need to make it possible for users to choose/downgrade beta versions in steam or something, cause this won't work. There is no point in having users stuck with one version (latest) they can't control. Updates through steam sure great easy way of distributing the patches and so, but not being able to choose patch version doesn't work. If only we could get the option to install any patch we want (like we used to be able to with the retail version), everything would be fine. We could stick to one version and support that one instead of being stuck with the newest version, which none of us can use. You can't even chose to opt out of updates, as Steam forces you to update if you want to start the game. Any when I says choose between patches I/we don't mean between 1.62 and 1.63, the option should be to choose between different 1.63 versions. How hard can it be just add the patch versions to the beta drop-down list.. Look through the posts in the recent beta patch threads and you will see that this is wanted/required by allot of the users.

Dwarden 1125 Posted July 19, 2014 the previous version of 1.63 were even more buggy than the actual one ... hence not gunna happen ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squadron_2 10 Posted July 19, 2014 But at least some of those worked to host servers with, and it's exactly that we need. To be able to go back to a version that at least worked and wait for a stable one. As it is no we are stuck with the latest one and if that one doesn't work we are screwed since we can't downgrade to a earlier version. Only 1.62 and that doesn't help much.

kichilron 10 Posted July 19, 2014 the previous version of 1.63 were even more buggy than the actual one ... hence not gunna happen ... Doesn't that prove the point? Some versions of 1.63 were buggy, meaning we would need the option to be able to chose, incase a new update comes along that's even more broken? Or is this it? Is it safe to assume the patches are over for ARMA 2 OA? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwarden 1125 Posted July 19, 2014 no there were no stable 1.63 prior the final, too bug in buggy in way there is not possible to release those , now you have 1.63 and 1.63 beta on steam ... there might be some hotfixes to address query +1, +password, +connect and some other issues ...

Squadron_2 10 Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) Might be... So at the moment we are stuck with the old 1.62 patches and hope that Gamespy doesn't go down right now until the patches are fixed. The reports I have been given was that the beta patch 1.63.124802 was working fine hosting on, so why not let us choose that patch until there's officially a stable version.
