Patch 1.14 Troubleshooting

[Nicolas Eymerich 0]

Yeah it was solved by itself somwhow. but there is another thing that bugs me, that "bird" thing.

Im playing, and than suddenly I become a fricking pigeon!

"good birds dont fly away in this game, i have only myself to blame" my ass! I didnt even died! I just walked around with the team and all the sudden im a bird. why does it happen?

1st, it not a fricking pigeon, it is a seagull

2nd, you really have only yourself to blame for using hacked or pirated version of the game.

If you think I am wrong and you are sure your version is a legitimate one, just send me a PM and I will be happy to check what could be wrong.

Suma... any news for a future patch or the 1.14 is the last one?

Lol,

Suma pops up to give a big smack down......

In ArmA2, how about a Howitzer that shoots them "pigeons" out of the sky?

I've got only one problem with 1.14.

In Chopper when you begin to shoot with Mg the engine sound fade to a very low level (in mh6 for example).

Problem appear with hardware sound on or off, eax on or off.

choumi, I think this is feature. After loud sounds becomes deaf.

choumi, I think this is feature. After loud sounds becomes deaf.  

I don't think so because only the engine sound fade when shooting, the chopper mg sound doesn't fade.

Im having this problem for a while now where I cant always see everyones chat messages that appear on screen. The reason I know this is because a friend is sitting beside me playing on the same server, hes sees all the messages fine on his PC.  It doesnt seem to be server specific but it does appear to be player specific.  Its also nothing to do with the different channels that you can type in, it can happen with any of them.

One other problem im also having is with radio comms messages, I just dont hear most of them. Its seems to worsen in busy areas, lots of AI, inf, tanks etc.

I'm also having trouble with ArmA thinking it's still on 1.12.

I have installed the 1.14 patch but don't know how to make ArmA recognise it.

[sgt_stoner 0]

I had exactly the same problem.

I found a solution - delete old beta folder. Now it installs fine.

I'm also having trouble with ArmA thinking it's still on 1.12.

I have installed the 1.14 patch but don't know how to make ArmA recognise it.

First it is the 1.12 betapatch, 1.14 patch, 1.15 beta patch.

Before installing any beta patch, make sure you rename any existing "beta" folder in your Arma folder to something else.

Install the beta patch.

If you want to run the game in betamod make sure the shortcut you are using is referring to the arma.exe in the beta folder...."C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\beta\arma.exe"

But the "Start In" part should refer to regular arma folder..... "C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA"

If you want to run Arma in non-beta mode (currently 1.14), change the link by deleting the "\beta" in your shortcut and run the Arma.exe in the Arma folder.

I hope someone can help me with this, I am running an ati x600 and played fine until patch 1.14, patch 1.15 beta gives same bug.

What I get is a weird no texture graphic glitch with mega lag, just like the screenshot here.

I hope someone knows what to do so I can return to the battle asap.

hmm, the new beta creates a new shortcut, have you copied over your -maxmem=  etc type commandlines to the new shortcut?

I tried it now and I get same results, maxmem 512 on 1gb of ram. The textures simply just wont load and graphics are set to low. I just can't see why the last 2 patches ruined it when I could run it perfectly fine.

The graphics are stuck on low, you cant change them any higher? If that's the case try creating a new user profile. If you are using the game on Vista try launching the game as Administrator.

Well- i have problem installing 1.14 patch, i have sprocket (idea or 505) version updated to 1.08, and i always get ca.pbo error. Can anybody get me a link to download 1.14 patched version of ca.pbo file?

Hey guys i get this error when i click the ArmA.exe without ANY addons on except DBE1 and i've tried without DBE1

http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x28/layne_suhr/ErrorwithArmA114.jpg

Then it goes to black screen then goes back and gives this error...

http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x28/layne_suhr/nexterrorarma114.jpg

   Please help (First time happened with my ArmA copy)

I have tried to re-install...

I think your patching process has failed. So either some files are not correctly patched, or you are running the wrong exe.

I got this error when trying to run the 1.12 beta exe without the beta addons loaded.

Reinstalling arma does the job I think

Ive tried just what this says and I am still getting the errors. Ive uninstalled everything and deleted all files from the ArmA folder. Im really getting annoyed. Can someone please help?

EDIT: Working now after changing administrator thingy.

Make sure you don't have old beta folder in ArmA main folder.

thanks... worked like a charm

Hi, @Sagan, something like that happens to me from time to time,

sometimes it gets fixed just by hitting ALT+TAB and then going

back to ArmA; but it get an ArmA.exe error when i close the game

after play for some time with poor performance (thanks to that way

of "fix that") but at least i can keep playing in the V1.14 .

Anyways... someone knows if should happen that the static Strela

Launcher, engages ground targets?, they engaged me when i was

in a convoy, shooting first to the 5T Truck + M2HB behind my HMMWV

and then it open at my HMMWV destroying booth, at a distance of

+/- 2.300m; i think that the AA weapons should engage only aircraft,

not wheeled vehicles or armoured ones too. Let's C ya

Hi, the other day i fired +9 UAZ mounted AGS30 rounds to a static

AGS30 at like 150m to 180m, and seems that this don't had any

effect on the static AGS30 gunner; this was in MP. The static AGS30

keept shooting to a team mate that was hiden behind some blown

off tanks, and after shot him right in the back with +5 of those those

between 9 to 11 AGS30 rounds, once the smoke faded out... i stepped

down the stolen UAZ-AGS30 & killed the gunner with a single head

shot of my M4A1-M68. I think that this may need a revision. Let's C ya

Hi, the radio at the right of the BRDM-2 driver's seat show some

weird shadow problems, as if it had flicker or noise or something.

There's also a small hole in the MI8-MTV (aka MI-17) co-pilot

door, from where if you look over the your right shoulder, you can

see the sky. If they gonna use the same vehicle models in the ArmA2...

i hope that they fix this because i doubt that they do it with the

ArmA. Let's C ya

Hi, i've problems with the new NVidia drivers v182.04, they pixelate

the ground and add a weird flicker to the ground at long distances

(above 350m) doing the game running slow and loosing alot of FPS

with a NVidia 8800GTS, those new drivers work bad with my video

card on other games too, screwing up the textures and making the

textures look as low resolution, on games like the Mass Effect or

the über sucky COD5; the only solution that i did found... has been

to switch back to the NVidia Drivers v178.14 and then, everything

works and looks again as good as it was supposed to, not only on

the Armed Assault, also on the other games. Let's C ya

[roberthammer 582]

Wipman have you tryed 182.08 WHQL ? They work perfectly on my 8800GTX
