Beta Patch Changelog

[ProfTournesol 956]

Our next plans:

* we plan to release patch 1 for the German version very soon

* in the same time we are also finalizing an updated version of the game that should be the version to be released later next month in other territories (including North America, the official announcements coming soon)

So the next released version (505 included) will be UPDATED compared to the German version. Not patched, IMHO.

Im a little confused about the release of the german beta patch.

Is it today now and will there be performance fixes/tweaking which are not in the patchlog?

[wursthase 10]

where can I find that patch?

[NeMeSiS 11]

Is it today now

Yes.

@Wurst, its not out yet, but you can 100% sure find it on these forums once its out, maybe it will be on the ArmA2 site as well.

Would be nice if those that apply the patch tell us all of the improvements when they get a chance.

Thanks

Check your difficulty settings, on veteran or higher they are no longer visible.

First impression of the beta patch so far (just played for about an hour) is excellent! :) The AI are much more responsive. In the few simple AI test missions I made, the AI actions are a lot smoother and more coordinated. No more "confused" looking AI.

Also my framerate in large cities like Chernogorsk is better and a lot more stable. Just tested a couple of SP and training missions and have encountered no problems so far.

Need to go to bed now, but I'll do some more tests tomorrow. This calls for some nice AI action footage! :D

EDIT: On the negative side, I (still) have some flickering textures, mainly on certain house windows where there are curtains visible behind glass.

Thanks for the report MadDogX. Sounds like we are moving in the right direction anyway.

Patch seems to make the game flow much smoother for me also. Havent notice problems so far only improvements

[Alex72 1]

Thanks MadDogX sounds good. :)

@The bad talking

Saying that ARMA2 is mediocre must mean you would hate ArmA1. Since ARMA2 is a better version than ArmA1 and if you like the latter - then ARMA2 can only be better. What i wanted to be better over ArmA1 was bit more fluent movement (check), better AI (check) and nicer atmosphere to get the experience level up (check). Also ofcourse tech such as better TIR & input devices. Things like tanks can be killed with bullets if enough is shot i have hopes for that an addon maybe can "forbid" some ammo classes to even scratch tanks. Still they are the same as ArmA1 - not worse. Some other things that wasnt much better than ArmA1 is STILL ArmA1 awesome. And when addons come like ACE2 etc i can just imagine how fun I will have at least.

This is the same but updated engine and i dont know how much more BIS could have done. With as they say themselves months of hard work to bring us less bugs and hopefully more features/enhancements it will just get better even. So what im saying is that i love ArmA1 still (play it everyday) and some areas i really wanted to be updated are. Im curious to see what the community will come up with and what new things they can make for ARMA2. I have no other options either when i want to play a game like this. There just isnt any other that give me the good feeling ARMA does so i hope BIS manage to sort whats need sorting out and that the community manages to bring us the extra spice.

Just my thaughts on the matter.

initially the game folder contained only DTA and Addons folder.

with the patch now there is mpmissions and missions folders which makes it look and function far more familiar to arma1...

i had beginning to wondering where we are suppose to be placing the mp missions...:)

now all we want is for all the official missions to show on the mpmissions folder so we can pick which ones to leave on the server...:bounce3:
