ARMA II Beta Builds Released: Latest version/build: 1.04.6xxxx

[no use for a name 0]

Getting a lot of bugs and CTD:s in the campaign. Could this be because im playing it with mods?

Could be your mods, but also you have to revert to the beginning of that mission (not the whole campaign.) A lot of the changes won't take effect and/or conflict if you don't.

more smooth and without stutter, just a fps drop when the missions begins.

great work BIS, keep it up, you are on right way.

[C-zom 10]

Awesome beta patch. When is it going to be finalized? Can we hope to have it before December begins?

[cross 1]

BIS always release a patch for christmas :D

- some autumn tress and bushes still look bad from distance until you zoom in.

- there are small wooden trees which change their shape completely if you come closer or zoom in.

- sky is still flickering

- Surrender module and capturing AI doesnt seem to work well.

- AI in aircrafts slow down too much their speed + altitude if they engage targets and often they crash into trees/buildings.

- Ch-29 missile (Su-25) is ingame too slow IRL the speed is approx 2xfaster than the counterpart - AGM65 Maverick (A-10).

- distant soundeffects arent noticeable eg. from all aircrafts or battles - its like after a certain distance the sound is cut

The AAVP7A1 has interior views except for the gunners seat with working periscope sights what about other vehicles? Why the BMP3 perisopes arent fixed/cleaned yet?

damn, snake and JW beat me to it..

nevermind...

what does 'Execute action with LMB can be unmapped.' mean?

and I'm glad they fixed some driving issues.

You can execute actions with left mouse button which often can be a pain so now you can unmap it so it doesn't execute actions :)

If you open the action menu for exemple to enter a car, you can choose the get in option with the Left Mouse Button, now you can disable it..=D

Great patch BI, thanks!

Thats great, accidentally starting actions always was a pet annoyance in Arma 2 for me :)

[otrebla_snake_ita 2]

I love you BIS XD

mmmh:

New: Execute action with LMB can be unmapped

What they mean with "Execute action"? ò.ò A selected action for a teammate? (for example "Move" ?)

Fixed: Player is no more target when commanding in external view.

What does this mean? :confused:

While your on to the command type fixes, can we please have the Map Mouse wheel/ Num- Num+ zoom working while you open the Map Tactical View?

Another problem with the Map and Tactical View is you cant Shift and click the map to create a waypoint while in Tactical View, or it activates one of the menu options.

eg. I'm in tactical view, I open the map, I try to set a waypoint, it activates a menu option. I have to close the map, go back to first or third person view, then open the map, then set the waypoint, then close the map, then go back to tactical view = Very Clunky.

Great changes in these betas, thanks and keep 'em coming!

@ -=seany=-

Most likely about AI commanding. In 3rd person you got wrong list of available commands.

[SaOk 112]

@ -=seany=-

Before this patch, you couldnt give move-orders to squad members from (the closer) 3rd person view without it suggesting player position all the time.

Same problem on xp sp3 for me

[neokika 62]

I've been testing this latest beta and it seems to me the AI got some driving lessons.

Could this be true? Ate least in cars, motorcycles and APC's.

Or am I seeing things??

[Zipper5 74]

Nope, you're not seeing things.

[60090] Fixed: Improved vehicles and motorcycles driving.

Probably helps the AI a lot.

[cole 0]

Damn, they fixed so many things with these 1.04 betas that it's enough content for 2 full patches.

Brilliant work BIS. By this you really show you care about your game (unlike many other companies) and that you care about the people playing it as well.

BIS is the greatest..=D

Looks like with the 1.05 they want a big change...

Also finally got this pet peeve of mine.

But my performance stability is the big one. :)

[cm. 10]

[Kristian 47]
