maddogx 13 Posted June 5, 2009 Vehicle pathfinding seems a bit better but still has its quirks. I tried several single vehicle and convoy scenarios with the AI. Sometimes they hit the road and stay nicely on the right side, sometimes they veer off a straight road into a house for no reason. They also seem to have problems going around sharp corners, often tending to over- or understeer. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

^Th0mas^ 10 Posted June 5, 2009 I really love this game. Its great, so BIS, please listen when I say this: Fix the bugs, fix the AI pathfinding and the game will be GREAT! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
^Th0mas^ 10 Posted June 5, 2009 But I really dont care about the performance issues or multiplayer. I hope BIS takes their time to fix single player, bugs and AI. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

^Th0mas^ 10 Posted June 5, 2009 I dont remember having any huge problems with pathfindings in Ofp 1. Why do people complain so much about ArmA II? Havent they improved it in 8 years? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr.g-c 6 Posted June 5, 2009 I only see a big issue with the release in rest-europe and elsewhere when BIS releases it in 1.01 status to the press (and considering rest-europas press is as perfectionist as our german one = they "care" about AI issues), as the AI is still extremely² buggy! Keyword horrible pathfinding and non-reaction/stucking/whatever which has NOT been fixed with final 1.01.... I was shocked that Even the german Computerbase.de Arma2 Test/Article from yesterday - and computerbase.de is a very very fair magazine - give no buy recommendence for Arma2 (besides for the true fans) since its so terribly buggy and the most buggy part they criticised was again the AI and all its related issues. I really wish you all the best BIS for as much sales as possible after the screwed german-area release, but in this stage i have a bad feeling about it.... AI issues aswell as Singleplayer+MP Major issues fixed and i would say it could get a 85%++ Rating game. I would think about this.... German Major Magazines will hardly give better than 70-75% Ratings, which is sad as its resulting from Bugs alone!..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
^Th0mas^ 10 Posted June 5, 2009 (edited) I agree. The game has gotten a fair bunch of bad reviews, but could get 90% ++ if they solve the problems with crappy path finding and bugs. The game is great otherwise. Edited June 5, 2009 by ^Th0mas^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The game is great otherwise. Well you just gave it nine "bad reviews" in his very thread!?! What part of the new patch do you like best? Did you use the lang patch on your copy of the game? Have you already preordered DR ?viral troll.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raggz 10 Posted June 5, 2009 I agree. The game has gotten a fair bunch of bad reviews, but could get 90% ++ if they solve the problems with crappy path finding and bugs. The game is great otherwise. That's the reason why i wait with my review. My review will be based on the 505 release 19th june. I hope they manage to fix the worst bugs untill then.

Cionara 10 Posted June 5, 2009 The AI has to be "improved" they shoot you precise with an AK74 on 500 metres after you sniped one, that's damn unrealistic only a sniper should do this. Also the AI shoots through wooden fences where no one can look through. Everybode of our clan and on our server is complaining about "cheating AI". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Majormauser 0 Posted June 5, 2009 (edited) I got the "1.01 installed already" error to in the msg box. I'm not so sure it patches correctly even though the file dates are stamped with newer date. The patcher finished WAY to fast comparing to the usual time it takes to patch. I'm reinstalling and patching again just to be sure. I ended up doing a complete reinstall. Oh everyone don't be like me AND save your progress files. Edited June 5, 2009 by Majormauser Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mosh 0 Posted June 6, 2009 Metaboli d/l version here, with beta patch... final patch installed fast and without problems. I am not using the language patch though (doesn't hurt to learn a little German while gaming). That seems to be the problem most people are having (not putting back backed up files). I was worried I would have to reinstall, which would be bad as I only get 3 activations with my copy. Of course I will buy DVD version also in US when available, so I hope my 3 installs last until then. :rolleyes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not to get off topic here, I really just wanted to confirm you can install final over beta patch without problems... but, I am under the impression I have 3 activations (on 1 computer) before I run into problems (which I'm sure a few emails and a few days of waiting I could get more if needed). It's no big deal really, I knew that before I purchased. It is just to hold me over until I can buy the US DVD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nazul 10 Posted June 6, 2009 I'm curious why Arma2 would get bad reviews when it IS playable and with no big showstopper bugs and yet Empire Total War got 90% reviews and its a buggy peice of shit that after 3-4months is still unplayable? It seems because CA/SEGA suck more game review site c*ck they get better scores, BIS dosnt seem to s*ck and dosnt get treated the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Majormauser 0 Posted June 6, 2009 Not to get off topic here, I really just wanted to confirm you can install final over beta patch without problems... I think don't think we really know. I re-installed due to the fact the New Patch thinks its installed already. I think it only updates some files that were not there adds them and sees the existing files from the Beta patch and does not replace them for some reason.

shaza24 10 Posted June 6, 2009 Empire Total War got 90% reviews and its a buggy peice of shit that after 3-4months is still unplayable? Whats with all the ETW hate around here? I have played ETW religiously since it first released, and i can honestly say, i have NEVER run into a single bug, little or big. And the game has not once crashed on me. At least for me, it's a wonderfull game. And so is ARMA 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MehMan 0 Posted June 6, 2009 I got a ton of bugs with ETW, from calvary getting stuck to trade routes not working for some nations, to the occasional memory leak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
