then have senior members of staff post on the forums?

Is that your way of saying I'm old? ;)

Such discussions are not relevant to a 1.02 impressions thread, there are existing "language" threads such as: Change the Language in Arma 2?

Would I lose my posting rights if I said yes? :p

[st!gar 3]

Using Internet explorer takes me to the patch download site properly.

Thanks. It worked. :)

Regardless of the state of the game, in my short time being on these forums, I am very impressed with the response from ALL the BI folks. I saw posts from the CEO trying to help individuals when A2 was released. I have never seen that from ANY company, large or small. They get a Stephen T. Colbert "TIP OF MY HAT"!

Just had to post to echo what has already been said, really appreciate you guys working so late to deliver this patch to us and also, it is a breath of fresh air when developers fix what the community points to, by the looks of the change log you have addressed almost all of these in this patch.

Again, thank you very much for your dedication and your community communication. :bounce3:

Post about "language" deleted, infraction warning issued, I think I wrote it pretty clear: http://forums.bistudio.com/showpost.php?p=1317848&postcount=152

First, thanks for being like Creative Assembly and making great games that you basically have a monopoly of this kind of open world realistic FPS. 1 thing to note, EVERYONE check your chagelog. It states it is inadvisable to use an old save game state with the new patch. Can someone provide any stories as to what type of problems might occur? I hate to start a new campaign.

Sorry placebo I don't see what posting links to mirrors has to do with the language questions. I did find maruk's response about it though...

Using the 1.02 patch.

So far - no issues (YAY). I wasn't having much trouble before but the lack of AA was annoying because the fillrate was too heavy a toll on my PC. Now with it and the removal of the HDR, I feel like I have it looking and running the way I want. My benchmark mission for testing is mission 3, since its a pretty good measure of performance. Can I max everything out? no, but that's fine. In a year or 2 I'll get something that can (which is right about the time the really good mods will be out).

BIS thanks for the dedication today / tonight. Keep it up please, we still have more to go.

I think you dont have to start new campaign... you only have to restart the mission... savegame here usually means the savegame during mission. not the campaign. thats how it was in ofp and arma anyway... dont know about arma2. still waiting from cdwow...

I believe it only means that it's inadvisable to load the saved games from the missions already in progress. Just restarting the mission you're on at the moment should suffice I think.

[luckypsd 10]

Ok patch installed and a quick testing reveals my game has went all pretty!

Putting in AA has made so much difference for me its amazing.

[maruk 80]

You don't need to start a new campaing, however, it's advised to start the last mission from the begining (use revert in the campaign screen or in the pause / revert menu in the mission) and not using loading games there.

Most likely by loading the old save game you can miss the fixes and improvements made to that particular mission but even more serious anomalies may arose.

[Motivator 10]

I'm getting this when I try to install the patch and If I ignore it you get another error just like it. I tried to download the patch again from a different site and same thing.

:mad:

You are absolutely right. I forgot that ARMA 2 campaign is different than other types. Sorry to bother you with a non existant problem. I stand behind the praise though.

Problem solved, has nothing to do with AA

I deleted documents/ArmA2Profile file and now my sky is back.

How come I cannot change the AA options? It's like a white box that wont drop down.

you have to change it in your .cfg but I wouldn't bother..when AA is enabled shadows are disabled :mad:

[trini scourge 1]

When I set FSAA to 2 in the cfg, I no longer have shadows

[old_snake 10]

FSAA is not fully supported yet (that's why you can have some shadows problems ...), you cant tweak it in the options menu. You can get it worked by changing value in your ArmA2.cfg file. :)

FSAA=0; Disabled

FSAA=1; Low

FSAA=2; Medium

FSAA=3; High

FSAA will be completely supported in one of the futures patchs :)
