build 59857 error

Recommended Posts

I get an error when I try to run the latest beta (Build 59857) I get the following error.

ARMA_Beta_59857_error.jpg

Runs fine when I use the vanila 1.04. Seems to be associated with the patch.

I am running Win 7 Ultimate with 4Gb mem and a GT8800(512)

Make sure your shortcut points to the arma2.exe in the beta folder, as well as loading the beta folder as a mod. That's why you're getting that error. One or the other isn't done properly.

I have the same issue and cannot use beta build 1.04.59857

Specs :

WinXP SP3

AMD 4800X2

2Go DDR2

GF8600GT 256Mo DDR3

nVidia drivers 191.07

Any idea ? Maybe I'll try some new drivers.

EDIT : and shortcut does point to beta directory...

are you guys pointing your shortcut to the beta .exe aswell?

Correct beta usage:

"C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\beta\arma2.exe" -mod=beta

What is the @ doing there? The beta folder is called 'beta' not '@beta'. ;)

Jeez that was quick. :)

AHHH. I just noticed that myself.

I was messing around lastnight and must have mixed up my folders DOH!!

Changed it and it works now.

Only folders that have @ in front should have it in the command line. The beta folder never has it nor does addons HAVE to have it. But you make them so all addon folders lump up together. Easier to spot them. ;)

OK thanks, it works now

An even easier way to separate official stuff from addons: Put all modfolders to a subfolder. For example move all your modfolders for Arma2\x\, and voila, you no more have umpteen folders cluttering the main Arma2-folder :thumbsup:

Loading them from there works just as before, only you have to give the new path. Ie. -mod=@MyÃœberMods would now be -mod=x\@MyÃœberMods.
