Banzai! 0 Posted March 25, 2007 OK so I was playing online yesterday, riding shotgun on an MH-6, when my pilot suddenly teleported out of the freaking heli. By the time I realised this the chopper had gone into an unrecoverable spin and I racked up another death. I was laying down the abuse to him while waiting to respawn but he said it wasn't his fault- he'd been turned into a seagull midflight! He even flew down next to me upon me respawning. Seriously WTF? Is this a joke by the (custom) mission designer or some MH6-related bug that needs to be fixed in 1.06 It's not that much of a biggie. I told him to respawn and we played the rest of the mission fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bootleg soldier 2 Posted March 25, 2007 Lool - i like the MP bug where a burnt out chopper pops into thin air next to you and 5 seconds later it turns into your extraction chopper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-CS-SOBR-1st-I-R- 0 Posted March 25, 2007 Well ... such funny things also happened in OFP and these little funny tricks gave us issues to talk about and laugh about too. Dont take it too serious, its rather funny than a bug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boecko 0 Posted March 25, 2007 Do you know, why he was the pilot? I know, because he wouldn't hit anything with a gun. Seagull and the weird bullet ballistics are result of "fade". Search fore the whole answer. bye Boecko Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Infam0us 10 Posted March 25, 2007 I thought being turned into Seagulls as the new fade was a myth? At least that's what I seen in the other posts concerning this topic? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Journeyman 0 Posted March 25, 2007 Seagull and the weird bullet ballistics are result of "fade". 'Fade' is not used by ArmA. It is the copy protection used by Codemasters. Please do your research before making statements. Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W0lle 1047 Posted March 25, 2007 Suddenly turning into a seagull out of the blue and not hitting anything even 2m in front of you are both indicators that a not legit copy or an inofficial patch is used. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dirtylarrygb 0 Posted March 26, 2007 Suddenly turning into a seagull out of the blue and not hitting anything even 2m in front of you are both indicators that a not legit copy or an inofficial patch is used. Maybe 'corrupted' but definitely not fade! Running round rambo style, being out of breath and then trying to lay prone in one go can lead to me not hitting anything 2m's in front of me and I have a legit copy. It's more that ARMA has some realism built in and some people are just sh*t shots. I know ARMA's protection does funky stuff, but IHMO anyone to cheap to buy the game should be forced to play CS for enternity. I use a SAW as I have 70 extra chances while you reload to plant 1 bullet in your face. And they seem to scare two shades of shite out of anyone with EAX surround running. You can tell who they are ,fire 30 bullets near them and watch them sprint for the ocean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deady 0 Posted March 26, 2007 'Fade' is not used by ArmA. It is the copy protection used by Codemasters. I don't think Fade is licensed to codemasters. Even if the word "FADE" is, they certainly won't own the patent to the concept of fade. And Fade (or a system based on it) has been activated many times in ArmA.

max power 21 Posted March 26, 2007 What Deady says fits with what I've read. "FADE" is licensed to codemasters but ArmA is protected from illegitimate copy by some game wrecking algorythm. Your pilot was using a hacked copy of the game in all likelihood. edit: I love these copy protection schemes that mask themselves as a technical problem. It makes for some hillarious troubleshooting posts. "Hello, I pirated your game. Please support me." Suma's responses are the best. He says that if you really think that you have a legitimate copy that you should get into contact with him directly. If I was him I'd be asking for confirmed personally identifiable information in order to register the copy before I troubleshot anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was rather shocked. Then later I was flying and I turned into Pamela Anderson, to much amusement from my chopper crew. But now every time I shoot someone I miss by 5km and a message comes up saying "Buy the game you pikey!". I tried re-installing from the Silver DVD I bought down the market but to no avail. I can't make out the support info in my photocopied manual. I demand BIH fix my game now or i refuse to buy a pirated version of your games ever again!!!! My name is Nelson mandela can I get some support? Note: if only copied films did this, would proabably improve some hollywood blockbusters... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dallas 9 Posted March 26, 2007 I was just piloting on a server when I and all the 5 people in the cargo turned into seaguls too. Thanks the the guy who rammed us with a repair truck full speed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
