Quote[/b] ]-NVG have odd shadows coming from a light source that i can't see people were telling me its the moon but thats on a different angle

It must be glitches, as only one lightsource may cast shadows. That is reserved for either the sun or the moon.

I'm having an strange problem.

I have a geforce 6800 with 128mb, C2D E6300, 1g.

When i set textures to normal, the game work just fine, without LOD or texture problems, which i had some problems with patch 1.05 and the other patches. However after some few seconds the game jus freeze.

I have to ctrl+alt+del to close it.

Why the hell are we still beta testing this game 6 months after release?, I know the BIS fan boys will make excuses but really its starting to wear a bit thin now. I loved OFP and played it for many years but Arma really is a shambles at the moment, its a big problem because not everyone is like me or some others on here and will keep trying to get it working, the less determined out there will give up and before long there will be many empty servers.

Public beta means unoffical. If you don't like the philosophy, stay the hell away from the beta patch releases and wait for 1.07 Final. At which point all versions of ArmA will be brought together to the best of BIS' ability at this time, and your fear of empty ArmA servers will be quashed.

Quote[/b] ]@Stryda: is the HUD in knots/kias and the top-left in km/h, I think maybe? If so then it needs to stay, really IMO.

Ahhh ok thanks for telling me that

Quote[/b] ]So do your eyes in real-life. Try standing in a fully lit room for a while and then turning the lights out, and then vice-versa. Your eyes take a while to adjust to the light/dark and re-focus.

Yeh but in game it takes a while, i've never worn NVG so i don't know what it looks like going from green to night :P

Ok well was on evolution so time was speeded up time wise but was trying to find moon and it was facing a different way. I'll have another look.

Since the new patch I'm getting missing weapons, I found a post saying it was 3rd party addons which were thought to be responsible - does anybody know which ones?

(Yes I've already searched).

It's allright, just found the answer...

So overall, is the 8800GTS/GTX more compatible now?

<s>Any addons that define weapons, off the top of my head the ones that have been released are Vilas' weapons packs (download the newest versions of these as they've been updated to work with v1.07), a Steyr Aug and HK G11 addon, the Swiss Mod Pack, and the SLX example weapon animations weapons. The Vilas weapons are the only ones where previous versions can cause issues are the Vilas weapons, but if you have any PBOs with VIL at the beginning, just download the newest version and you should be fine.</s>

Any suggestions as to which you found to be causing the problem?

new beta FIX patch----- my findings.

ISSUE: CONTROLLER/HOTAS issues in game

x52 HOTAS still does not work properly in game. (for beta patches.."normal" game works properly.

STILL:

- double key presses, with single button press. such as...

- "fire" button FIRES, AND opens, "action" menu

- "select" button selects, AND activates highlighted selection

- "lock/target" button does a reverse order, in menu selection. and locks targets.

basically EVERY button on the X52 does its normal function AND activates something for the "action menu"..and then there is this problem below.

STILL: ACTION MENU

- activate "higlightlighted"selection keypress works only twice...cant select more options..must then select more options by keyboard.

STILL: FLIGHT CHARACTERISTIC

- "yaw" (rudder pedal action) still does not YAW... it is the exact same as "banking" both axis are the same effect.(BANKING) this was with selecting "pedal left/right" or "turn left/right" ..all produce same results of BANKING.. not YAW. 3 ways to bank. zero ways to YAW. fun.

personal notes:

i do NOT see ANY difference between "107" to "107 fix " with joystick/HOTAS configuration OPERATIONS. some new items in game are ok. but controllers are funcionally FUBAR'ed.

[archsceptic 21]

Sorry Jackal no, I just assumed 3rd party addons in general conflict with the new beta patch.

umm....

"ArmA: Armed Assault is not installed on your computer or installation is corrupted."

Explain?

still waiting for an answer... anyone?

[Jimboob 0]

See if any entries in your registry are false, or not there at all.

[sappo 0]

how would i know what entries to even look for....

the registry is a very large world :

[ArMoGaDoN 0]

@sappo, if u aint comfortable hacking in the registry, then don't.

The standard response would be to uninstall (IF it's visible in the windows add/remove programs list) and then reinstall - in case the registry has been corrupted somehow.

Hopefully that will fix your problem.

[sappo 0]

well, i know my way around the registry thats for sure... just not sure what entries I should be looking for... all the 'arma' entries appear intact.

as it is, the game was just installed fresh for the newest offical patch... and it has been running fine since.

this is just weird.

[ArMoGaDoN 0]

Don't know if this might help, but when I install these patches I always run them from the Main ArmA folder - have you tried that instead of wherever you are/may be running it from?

[sappo 0]

yea i did... i've tried it from my desktop, from the arma folder... etc.

nothing makes it work

cant even extract it manually and just plop it all into the beta folder.

grr

[pathetic_berserker 4]

Haven't dug through my community addons folder to find wich one, but there is a community addon that seems to remove all primary weapons from soldiers except for machine gunners??

Didn't have this problem with 1.05

[Wolfrug 0]

@Pathetic_berserker

At least the BMD-1 by MechStalin & co. did that for me, but they've got a fix up on their thread in the Addons : Completed forums. Check it out.

Regards,

Wolfrug

Problems i had with 1.07.5157

- crosshairs missing on 'North Bases' CTF mission, they were activated in the menu and showed up like usual in another mission

- massive desyncs which caused connection losses. a buddy was disconnected from my server several times

- i had for the first time ever the 'memory surface error', same ingame settings and same driver (Forceware93.71)

We reverted back to 1.07.5154 and all the problems mentioned above were gone.
