2nd Beta 1.07.5157 feedback thread

[froggyluv 2136]

Hmmm

I'm getting major LOD loss for the first time with this patch. I've had it before periodically but now it's very noticeable with whole buildings missing textures. Since 1.04 i've always used the same settings:

Object&Texture: High

Terrain: Very Low

Shading+Shadows: Normal

AA: Very High

Blood: High

VD: 2500-3000

Specs: E6400 Oc'ed 3.3 ghz

7900 GS Oc'ed 650/1.4

Commando Mobo

2xteam xtreem 667 ddr2

700 OCZ PSU

Yeah no kidding CanadianTerror.... I feel like BIS has just ignored all the downloading community

both Sprocket and Atari Downloaders :P this is not good

That Problem is not a BIS problem its the publishers one.

I was speaking in general terms on how BIS ignores the digital download community.

I'am very disgusted that they dont even acknowledge that there is a problem in Sprocket downloader's switch to 1.07

I was expecting some kind of official statement from BIS that they are fixing the problems for Sprocket... instead they say nothing.

Which makes me go and realize we got major problems here

it's not a Sprocket problem. It's a BIS problem, everything worked PERFECT in 1.05 from Sprocket...

the problem started when BIS released the BETA 1.07 patch

they need to go and fix the errors that are with 1.07 for Sprocket

if they partner with a place liked Sprocket to distribute the game they need to confirm that any new changes to the game works for EVERYONE and not just the guys with the cd's.

You must of missed the note.

IMPORTANT: THIS IS BETA RELEASE AND IT'S POSSIBLE IT WILL NOT INSTALL WITH YOUR VERSION CORRECTLY OR THAT IT WILL NOT WORK CORRECTLY. FOR USERS OF DIGITAL ONLINE DOWNLOAD IT MAY ALSO USE ADDITIONAL ACTIVATION AND MAKE EVEN THE ORIGINAL GAME UNPLAYABLE.

No need to continue to complain, wait until there is a final release of the patch.

I have atari download version

The first 1.07 beta worked fine. The new patch, however, asks for product activation.

Quote[/b] ]wait until there is a final release of the patch.

I'm not trying to thread hog with my online dload problem but I just hope that since it's now "unplayable", it can get looked at and and sorted out.

The online dload option wasnt what I wanted to do but its not exactly readily available around here.

EDIT: As well, Im quite happy with how the patching has worked to make the game more stable and bug free...no complaints here about that.

Well in general there is indeed not much difference between the 2 versions. Some problems I encountered:

in the latest 1.07 version:

I have some shadows that are in squares now, didn't have it before the update of the 1.07 patch.

AI has trouble crossing bridges, choosing the water again, or just standing at the end of the bridge. Or they just refuse to follow me. The bridge where it happened was in Dolores, the east bridge. Normally I didn't have any problems with it till this update.

Enemy AI shooting at me with AT quiet often now. Also my AT AI shoots back with AT aswell in some cases.(I never encountered this before in 1.05)

bug in all versions:

I don't know if it's really a bug, but if you sprint, after a while you start to run slower of course, but if you press a button to run to the left or right, so a sprint sideways, you suddenly start running at full speed again. Once you run straight again, you just run slow again. (This is all while sprinting)

Some things that are definately good: I can alt+tab without a problem now, usually I had a 75% chance it crashed on it, thanks BIS, this is some nice birthday presenet .

First off all, thank you BIS; ArmA never ran so good before!

Specs: E6600 @ 3.2Ghz, 8800GTX (165.01), 2GB.

Settings: 1280x1024, all very high except AA is set to "low", VD 7700.

+ LOD issue gone, even in the middle of the big city where it was at times pretty bad and where it was lagging pretty bad. There is still some mini-lag (or pause) when I quickly turn around (180 degree) but nothing that messes up gameplay and I´ll take this mini-lag ANYTIME over LOD issue or the VRAM allocation one.

+ "Very high" shadows are back working again!

+ No CTDs, or BSODs in my test session (+1hr)

- Medium distance fog is back, and its about as it was in 1.05+

1.05 (release patch, NOT 1.05+, don´t have a picture of 1.05+)

1.07 (old beta, 5154)

1.07 (new beta, 5157)

http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/3303/107newfogsbackmi0.jpg

(VD is set to 10000, time 12.30, weather is set to perfectly clear, no fog neither in the future)

As much as I dislike this fog, I still prefer the improvements and accept the fog if it would otherwise break the improvements in 5157 again.

Thanks again BIS!!

I know it's sort of been said already, but I'd like to confirm that there seems to be no difference in Saitek X52 compatibility. I still can't map any of the buttons I couldn't map before this beta patch.

yes I read this warning from BIS... the game still works in 1.05 so the "original game" is not unplayable.

but I'am very frusrated the BIS has not gotten this fixed for ALL users.

I will stop complaining now...because i'am sure my voice and everyone who has Sprocket has gone unheard...

if BIS does not fix the problems I will not be suckered into spending another $40 for the US release of this game.

they will lose a very loyal ofp/armed assault fan

I'am not made out of money...and I can't be spending another $40 everytime BIS releases new patches for Arma

farewell.

Just found out....

Wanted to warn everyone...

DO NOT INSTALL THE BETA if you have DIGITAL DOWNLOAD from Atari.com/us or elsewhere....

IT breaks your game and asks you to reactivate. THEY BETTER FIX THIS FOR THE FINAL VERSION OF THE PATCH OR ELSE!!!!!!!

1) Read the damn NOTE

2) choose between reactivate or stop playing till final

3) stop shouting

moreover, blame starF#@k or scarerum for creating such usless copyright portection and pirates for piracy

Do you have custom addons in your addons folder?

This usually happens when you have custom addons inside your folder...

if this is true. Remove your addons and the game should play

[Dr.Rebus 0]

yes i've addons...

...dont u use addons?!

[Silverguy82 0]

yes i've addons...

...dont u use addons?!  

yes... 1.07 does not work with addons if you can believe that

[Dr.Rebus 0]

Oh damn....than I must remake a original Addons folder....damn...

I dont know what remove...damn.

Someone can tell me name list of original addons?

[-SWAF-Lunatic 0]

yes i've addons...

...dont u use addons?!  

yes... 1.07 does not work with addons   if you can believe that

It does work with addons, but the class has changed so the addons need to be reworked into the new method. (From Suma)

For me i still get the lod when i reload a mission, then it gets worse, the better, then worse......random!

However on a positive note my CTD's have gone fro now!

[Dr.Rebus 0]

I mean that I've played BIS units...and rifles are invisible and no anims for them...!!!
