Video on PC Games demonstrating bugs.

Summary:

- player can´t get into vehicle although ordered to

- Nightview scene: AI is running through walls right in front of player

- AI drivers going nuts with hmmv and truck AI vehicle control is bugged

- AI in building is not reacting AT ALL. The enemy player can dance around them without anything happening.

Video recorded in release version.

Scroll down here to see the vid.

The style of that Video is really RTL2-ish. But it's sad to see old problems re-introduced anyway.

alot of old problems and bugs still not fixed, are they even fixable?

Guys i think deep down we all new this game would be buggy but who cares i love it and no other game comes close and if they can fix most of the bugs which they probably will then for me that will be just a bonus.

I'm wonder if that was Cadet mode?

I've seen ArmA react in that manner just by setting enemy ai's to stupid level.

Yes still years of development and so much promises about Micro-KI and new simulation fo the vehicle-KI and so on... but again the lowest level. And yes the vid is more than brainwashing of the people but it tells its own tale.

I can't understand what came over BIS to releae such product.

Yes, i saw ridiculous preview testing by testers who don't know how to play this kind of game and so had set the AI level to its minimum. But PC games ones are supposed to be OFP/ArmA1 players, aren't they ?

- player can´t get into vehicle although ordered to

Is it a bug or a feature (ie not doing things when not ordered to by the squad leader) ?

sure... :j: if it's something negative, it's the reviewer's fault.

lol come on, even on minimum ai level, the ai should react if you stand right in front of them, dont you think?

You base this on what?

Indeed.

the PC Games review video that was just online for a couple of minutes. the Morphicon interview on pcgames.de that silently acknowledges PC Games' assertion that the german release is bug-ridden. the fact that user reports are starting to get more negative. :(

This isn't to the level of the 505 games release. A patch just given (before official release for that matter), fixes many/most of the current show stoppers. This is admittedly an incomplete build. I'll await 505 before my cynical "we're doomed side" kicks in.

[^Th0mas^ 10]

Dance in front of the AI without they reacting? If thats so, the AI most be worse then 8 years old Operation Flashpoint 1, made by the same developers, and that cant be... Logic?

yes sure, but at the same time, i'm a little bit frightened by such a stupid AI. tons of patches are able to update the AI?

The question is: Do the AI enter buildings by themselves? If not, just don't place them inside.

Spot on that video made me clutch my chest. Im hoping that was set in Dragon Rising mode to suit others:p

One magazine review and I've heard one moot player review.

Dunno though, I blame morphicon. I expect the 505 release is probably going to be better.

I just wondered if the pre-set game logic is being used, because if i get TG review on the 505 version right, those game logic act like a sort of AI mod and scripts that have to link up to the unit so that the unit could prefrom movement X, Y and Z

Hhuuh ? :confused:

:popcornsmilie:

AI works fine, though good thing that the germans are searching for every single bug and then show it in videos.

There is no troubleshooting for arma 2... http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/5334/unbenanntxpb.png typing flush helps

heat problem?

i tried with manually turning the fan of my 4850 up to 40% it seems to fix it.

this is a major bug, AI is the most important part of a game. If the cows are more intelligent than the soldiers, well :eek:
