1.09 beta patch troubleshooting thread.

[Placebo 28]

I appreciate that some troubleshooting issues might be too complex to be stuck together in the same thread as everyone else's, but if we can at least give it a try to keep all 1.09 related troubleshooting issues together to start it might help more people out than just the first one to have the problem.

Remember to download and install 1.09 before posting 1.09 related troubleshooting issues

And make sure to check list of known issues first.

Also, please try to report only troubles specific / new to 1.09 only!

Thank you.

My ArmA version is 1.08.5613, yet the 1.09 installer says I have 1.07 and should upgrade to 1.08 before proceeding. Any ideas?

PS I havn't got Queen's Gambit.

Cheers,

Dan

Did you remove any previous beta folder first before trying to install the new beta patch?

WARNING: DO NOT USE beta UNINSTALLER at any cost!

it erases files from ArmA\Addons directory

A10.pbo + sig

missions.pbo + sig

miscUS.pbo

and who knows what else

not just beta content !!!

one more reason to include uninstall.log with details what was done !!!

Be sure that your shortcut target field is correct:

"C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\beta\arma.exe" -mod=beta -window

For example.

And also that the Start In field points to the ArmA root folder:

"C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA"

Big, stupid bug here:

Default set to "Group Channel" chat and cannot change message channels!!!

EDIT: Appears to only happen in the lobby?

[Auss 208]

All fixed thanks fellas too easy

It installed properly as far as I can tell, but when I try to start 1.09 I get the following errors:

Any ideas?

[Planck 1]

If you have Queens Gambit, the hotfix_QG.pbo and its .bisign go in your DBE1\Addons folder in the ArmA root.

The addons\hotfix_dbe1.pbo and its .bisign go in your beta\addons folder in arma root.

I have no idea about the CA_hotfix you mention there.

I had this, when i tried to run using ArmA Launcher, you have to run it directly from the shortcut it creates in your ArmA root folder

How do we get battleeye to work, when we enable it on the server we get an error about missing .dlls and when we go to the website and look for a download there website download page is blank.

We added this to the server.cfg

battlEye = 1;

www.BattlEye.com doesnt have any download links to the dlls or folders or anything  

[jasono 0]

Battleye does not work. When starting the server with it enabled (battlEye = 1; ), an error pops up saying that the dll's are not a windows image (or something like that) and i've looked on Battleyes website and their downloads page is blank

Edit : Nothing in the beta folder either.

Wiki has this

And that's all I can find..

Edit - clan friend 1 minute faster than me, damn you Mattius

[mattxr 9]

Any information on this BIS?

Opened the DLL in notepad and its blank / 0kb

I can confirm this problem. BE protection will not work at the moment.

I added it to

Known issues 1.09 @ community.bistudio.com

As well as problem when installing over 1.07 beta version.

[opteryx 1562]

Game won't start

My shortcut:

D:\Spill\ArmA\beta\arma.exe -mod=beta; -mod=DBE1 -nosplash

Any ideas?

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, It'll start without the -mod=DBE1 bit.

[jasono 0]

What happens with

D:\Spill\ArmA\beta\arma.exe -mod=DBE1;beta -nosplash

Switched DBE1 and beta around as I had similar problem with 1.08 hotfix some time ago..

AFAIK - Mod folders are loaded in order, so last thing overwrites over classes etc. Therefore the patch which does that needs to be last loaded to overwrite stuff on load.

Ok I installed whole arma again and first patched straight to

1.08 and after that installed beta and I got this message when I

start the game no entry to bin/con ..... ladder smt.

What I have to do to get this fixed?

Never before have this.

Any suggestions?

[jasono 0]

Can you post your shortcut information like Opteryx did above. It's a similarish error.

[Steeler 0]

yes I can,but I think I'm solving this prob,I think I made mistake

when I patched straight to 1.04 to 1.08.

I try one more time 1.04-1.05int--1.08-1.09beta.

I think there is my problem,have to put also 1.05.

I'll report later.
