Arma feedback thread - based on 1.14

Recommended Posts

Feedback 1.14

#1 vehicle sound bug

- is the sound of a running motorcycle or a roofless land rover supposed to be muffled as it is now in the game when you use 1st person view ?

- or is it just too demanding to make the sound be less muffled on a vehicle that has no roof ?

- same remark for when you turn out in tanks : the sound is still muffled when you turn out but if you wanted to be more realistic it shouldn't

#2 motorcycle ejecting driver bug

- this occurred to me once or twice while I was playing on an internet server (Sahrani Life on XR server to be exact) I get ejected while I am driving in a straight line over horizontal terrain (no apparent reason)

- I tested the motorcycle with the editor and it only ejects me when I try to go up stairs in city or I try to climb a steep hill (so it happens when the motorcycle direction points up too much)

- I'm throwing in my idea since it is still not fixed : when playing on internet the motorcycle direction variable could receive erroneous values that makes it "think" the direction is pointing too much up or down without a visible effect on the motorcycle but with the effect that you randomly get ejected / or the ejecting system is bugged ...

#3 passengers die when driving down fast in a car on a steep hill

- I tried this with HMMWV and with 5TTruck and I died just because I was driving down fast

- the location where I reproduced this bug is at HI41 on Sahrani Island near the 222 peak (I didn't try elsewhere)

- to reproduce : go in editor, place a HMMWV a bit north of the peak then drive as fast as you can in SW direction, you should die if your car is going fast enough

- also the car doesn't explode only the passangers die

#4 annoying way to lower weapon without using the "toggle raise weapon" key

- to reproduce : press strafe left/right key and forward key then press turbo key, run for a while and then release keys, your rifle is now lowered like when you use the "toggle raise weapon" key

#5 team formations

- when leading a big squad I split it in color teams

- the problem is that when I order the team to move to a position they use the same positions as when they move in the whole formation

- for example if I order soldiers 8 and 9 to move to a position they keep the same distance between them as when they are in my formation

#6 trivial bug

- when looking at a HMMWV's roof from outside it is closed but if you look at it from the inside by looking through the door windows it is open you can see the sky

Is it possible to know which bugs/features will never be fixed/added in arma ?

At least for frequent requests of features/bug fixes.

Quote[/b] ]zoom out toggle (2x Num -) works in single player but not multiplayer

Ok - it's actually a problem with some weapons. It seems that those with optics (eg, G36) allow zoom-out whilst the '-' is held but don't allow toggle.

Really good work on patch.

There is one bug I noticed. GBUs(or any bombs from other addons) miss targets by 50m or so.

Hmm - the sound is very strange as well. Using Soundblaster XFi and headphones with SVM (compression) enabled, the effect is like the old OFP EAX cheat where you can hear people moving a hundred meters away. :-(

I Hate the new FOV

I agree. I can't use it like this. <s>Time to mess about with the

fovTop/fovLeft values in <MyName>.ArmaProfile (bugger! )</s>

Well, that doesn't seem to work as <MyName>.ArmAProfile

gets rewritten each time. mad_o.gif

Absolutely agree. I don't remember the field of view ever cropping up as a problem prior to 1.12. Why did BIS change it? Who said the new one looked better?

Consider that in ArmA a man-sized target 100 meters distant appears about 300 - 600 meters distant and perhaps things won't seem so bad?

Could it be that the targets you think are so far away are in reality only 100 meters distant, which is practically point-blank range with an M16A2?

Just because the FOV has been nerfed, compared to OFP, we don't need the sound engine nerfed, too.

Why should we have to use a community fix for something that used to work?

I personally have a performance gain rarther than a drop. Can set my view distance to max with very high graphics now. I also get no lag in multiplayer, and think warfare makes good use of armas features. Showing warfare to my friends has sold another 3 copies of Arma.

because it simplier. and fit better to your awaits.

i don't care Bi tweak the game config.i can do it, and i would do anyway. i prefer they solve pathfinding bug (the weakest of the engine, probably the hardest thing to solve) , add features, eventually tweak network stuff.

but all the small cosmethic settings, i prefer care of them myself

I dont want to use addons cause i take part to ESL ladder thats why.Proofs?Wtf?Give me proofs that you have no lag or no FPS drop.

Edit: And another minor problem that i forgot to mention is the delayed loading textures.Another benefit of this super patch.

Well by rasing my graphics settings and still getting a better framerate than I had before kinda proves it. Before I could not play comfortably at the settings I am currently using. As for lag the servers ive played warfare on usually have a ping of 30-40ms which is very good. The only time I notice any lag is when some person with a high ping joins and walks past me. Aside from that my online warfare experiance has been as smooth as my lan vs ai games.

reducing viewdistance is the only way to reduce texture loading latency. give it a try .

Think my viewdistance has improved too, definately havn't really noticed any slow down.

i prefer they solve pathfinding bug (the weakest of the engine, probably the hardest thing to solve) , add features, eventually tweak network stuff.

I agree. So why are they changing the FOV if no one complained about it?

This is true, since I have put my view distance to max the texture switching has become much more obvious. I guess its a trade off over view distance or pop up textures.

i think at least the FOV could be costumable... I mean tha constant zoom feels awful and wtf if i press - TAN! TAN! i get the normal... why?

Is there no where you can manually set the delay for loading the different textures? Like an ini file or something?

understand something guys when you play on ladders like ESL or ECL (i dont think there are others YET). You cant change the settings you have to use the official 1.14.

So dont talk about addons cause you are not serious

I could not care less about ladders I play for fun, I think the idea of gaming as a sport to be a bit silly personally. I was wondering about the editing the texture delay because I wouldnt mind playing with it if its possible.
