1.09 beta patch troubleshooting thread.

[Symbiot 0]

Yes i have installed 169.21, but even with previous version i got the same problem.

[spetznaz14 0]

Guess I'm destined not to play this game, first it was the fog + other bugs now it just hard locks..

Maybe I'll try again when 1.09 (official) is out. This game just seems not to like newer PC's for some reason.

Game still has "magic" AI that spot you anywhere, anyhow.

That with Ai sniping with ak must be fix soon.

I lost all ingame sound a couple of days after I installed the beta patch. That was with my onboard sound on an Asus P5N-E-SLI. I have since installed a soundcard, but I am getting game freezes, especially when I use Track IR.

The VOIP doesn't work well for me at all. Also when I ftre the gun in the AH6 the helo sound gets very quiet for abouta minute after the gun has been fired.

Please delete this post if you do not agree with my actions

I have a more general patch problem, it started going wrong with 1.09 giving errors about my arma.exe and armaserver.exe

I never had any problems with arma before since german release!

now after 6 arma re-installations and my first complete format and xp re-install I STILL keep getting patching errors like this:

from patch 1.01 untill the latest 1.09b I have used severall downloaded patches as well as the complete patch included with Queens Gambit

There are no scratches on my disc as it has been in my DVD Drive since the beginning!

I have no idea what to do, if I say ignore to let the patch get installed I can play but with problems and well the german 1.00 version of ArmA was never really that fun to play

System:

Windows XP Home edition

Intel Core2Duo E6850 @ 3.00GHz

ATi Radeon HD 2900 XT

ASUS P5N-E SLI motherboard

2Gb DDR2 800MHz RAM GEiL 4-4-4-12

(more info needed?)

Sorry if im steeling something here Placebo...

You are mentioning "monitor" temp and ram...

Its really hard to get valid readings when alt+tab

as i have noticed when playing on dual screens.

Game on one and a monitorprogram on the other.

The temp goes down fast when alt+tab...

Could be usefull to have like a FPS monitor but

showing temp and ram usage instead...Inside

the game that is...Or like fraps, thats showing FPS

in realtime in the game...

Like i said im sorry if i overstept here...

Nothing to be sorry for

I use Rivatuner which shows a number of things I choose to monitor (FPS, temp, Vram usage, system ram usage) at the top left of the screen when playing

Gnarble!!  

Ran Arma 1.09 Beta smooth for some days, until today.

Flew around wasting and reaking havoc on the enemy. But when i went for 3 mins break to feed my dog, i came back to a locked game. Couldnt ctrl-alt-del, nothing. Then after a while i got control back to windows, with 640x420 resolution and 8 bits colours,  i got a horrible error that i thought was gone.

Error : The display driver nv4_disp has stopped responding..  

Any solution to that?

[spetznaz14 0]

Sounds like you've joined the 8800 crashing club. This game really isn't for dx10 cards..

[Rumsfield 1]

I believe I found a bug and I want to make sure BIS know about it. It is not a major game breaking bug, but it should still be looked into. It may possibly be an easy fix, hopefully. The bug tracker site is down as I'm sure you know, so I don't know what else to do. From my testing the bug seems to happen slightly more often in 1.09 beta than in 1.08. I have made a demonstration mission to display the bug, you can find a download link below as well as a short description of the bug.

THE BUG: Let's say you create a mission where you have a custom sound file playing at some point during the mission(Let's say a song is playing). You start up the mission and you see an enemy, so you fire at him, kill him. But then you notice that the song has restarted for some strange reason. Is it a scripting error? Not likely. Another ArmA bug? Possibly.

MISSION LINK: http://www.filecrunch.com/file/~86rdwo

Any one is welcome to download this and try for themselves. If it turns out to be a real bug, which I believe it is, maybe BIS will atleast fix it for ArmA 2?

Hi All, I reinstalled Arma, installed the 108, then the 109 updates. When I start up, I get:

DBE1_hotfix requires addon DBE1

not sure how I lost this addon, anyone know what it is?

The target line in your shortcut should look like this to fire up Queens Gambit with 1.09 assuming you have the game installed in the Bohemia Interactive folder in program files

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">"C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\beta\arma.exe" -mod=beta;DBE1

To run mods with it, it's just like before excempt you load the beta first, QG second, and then the mods after. This is my shortcut after some 'duh' moments, it works. <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">"C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\beta\arma.exe" -mod=beta;DBE1;SIX_Pack1v3;SWAT;IMW;CSM;FLASHLIGHT;cars;EntryTools;truerangeai;@NWD_Ballistics -nosplash

After 5-30 min of playing on Normal settings game freezes my PC , after i hear a sound from system tower and i need to restart my pc.

On High settings it takes 5-15 min for the same bug.

I have this bug only with 1.09.

System spec -

Win Xp sp 2

Intel Duo 6600

GF 8800gts 320mb

1gb Ram

I was getting that too but I was able to alt tab hitting it twice and it would come back. If I would just sit there eventually 5mins or so it would unfreeze. I have a 8800GT to fix my problem I just had to update the Video Card bios. I also have to other systems with 8800gt's and had to do the same because they all started getting that with the same system and same fix when I installed 1.09 beta

[Yuka 0]

I'm the server admin for a military simulation community. Very private community and very tight knit.

A couple observations that I have seen thus far:

1. Players joining in as the group leader on the first listed group cannot finish receiving data. The process seems to stop completely. Joining in as any other role seems to work fine. This may be a problem with the mission that we have run and I will look into it today or tomorrow.

2. Some of my pilots have complained about an increased energy bleed on the A-10. This may be a control issue as other pilots on the server seem to do fine.

3. VOIP needs to have the ability to select input and output sound cards in game. Many of my players use a sound card for VOIP and another for the game itself. I would absolutely love to implement VON, but until we have the ability to select a soundcard for input/output of VON in the game, we will continue to use teamspeak.

4. Many of our players have noticed a huge performance boost with v1.09

5. Yaw on fixed wing aircraft needs to be fixed.

6. Throttle on fixed wing aircraft needs to be fixed.

No, I just DLed the updates, where do I find this "queens gambit" thingy??

I added the DBE1 in the target field also.

never mind, I found it, looks like something I have to buy. hopefully not having this file, won't mess up anything.

[NeMeSiS 11]

If you dont have it you shouldnt install the patch for it.

[KDog35 0]

No, the "it" I have is the game. I DLed patch 109, not a patch for queens gamit.

[kroky 1]

I'm getting regularly CTD's.

Maybe someone can tell what the problem is when I post here my .rpt file:

Kroky, you should update your NVIDIA graphics driver to the latest WHQL version (currently 169.21 as of this post). Maybe that will help.

You can get NVIDIA drivers here.

With 1.09b, I get visual artifacts like huge dark triangles/polygons in the middle of the screen on Sahrani. Didn't happen in 1.08.

Running 1.09b with WinXP SP2, GeForce 7900GT with 169.21 drivers, 2Go DDRAM.

Hi All, I reinstalled Arma, installed the 108, then the 109 updates. When I start up, I get:

DBE1_hotfix requires addon DBE1

not sure how I lost this addon, anyone know what it is?

I have the same problem, expect i dont have Queens Gambit. I can still play the game for some time, then i get this player model clipping in the ground, then it says its missing some mercenary models (queens gambit probably) , and then it just crashes, and asks you if you want to send a report about it.

[rowdied 44]

Don't use the 169.21 drivers, they're not good. They have caused me alot problems and had to roll back to 169.06 that came with the card.

MP5 error on start up...When I run Arma with the patch I get an error message saying  :

"bin\configbin/Cfgweapons/Mp5a5/Burst is not a value"

When I get in game the Mp5 will not fire and will toggle only between single and auto but will not fire. Anyone else having this?

Lamar

[spetznaz14 0]

No matter what I try (-vm108, -maxmem 1024/512, new drivers) it still crashes after 30m+ of game play, I'm sure its vram related as arma crashes then the screen is blank and I have to reboot..

localVRAM=793138688;

nonlocalVRAM=258998271;

Would changing either of those help?.
