ARMA 1 : beta patch 1.18.5278 RC (road to final) + feedback

[BlackEagle1 10]

how is the road to final ???

it is Dezember 1.

[maruk 80]

Bumpy road. One small but show stopper problem found (TeamSpeak overlay and Arma 1.17 did not like each other well, resulting in app hang).

This is hopefully fixed, once verified we can progress further.

Also, too much other higher priority work slowed us down...

[Herbal Influence 10]

No serious issues found until now.

I am happy.

Immense thanx for caring personally, Maruk.

Hi, i wish that with the final v1.17 BIS decide to add more woodland soldiers to the BLUFOR side instead just the rifleman and the corpsman, all the others too, officer, S. Leader... T. Leader... autorifleman.. grenadier.. and also remap the pilots and tank crew vest textures to use the Interceptor III vest textures of those woodland soldiers; plus add some of the AA2 animations, that will be a good final patch to leave the AA finnaly. Let's C ya

i bought Arma gold last month and it was money well spent. i got nothing but respect for BIS for still supporting Arma. i'll definitely be buying Arma2 and trying this patch out. GL on the final build.

Impressive support, as always :)

[wipman 1]

Hi, i don't find it that impressive, is good but not impressive; what will be impressive will be if they add some of the AA2 things that they could add with a little more time like animations and more units or reviewed ones and weapons, if you ask me... don't have much sense to have added only two woodland units to the last (v1.14) patch, have a M4M203 that uses exactly the same model that the M4A1M203; they should add the whole set of units dressed with those woodland BDUs, they should also add some of the AA2 anims, like those ones to hold the grenade launchers right instead hold 'em by inside the weapon model, they could remap all the yankee units Eliminator vest with the textures of those woodland units too, they could also add some of the AA2 sounds too.

Is good to have a new candidate to last patch, but really man... if you ask me this isn't nothing and don't seems to add anything that makes me want to run the ArmA again. But yes, good new. Let's C ya

[SWT_Janowich 10]

why don,t just add ArmA2, so theres nothing left to buy?:rolleyes:

hey guys

downloaded the 1.18 patch, well the canidate, and extracted it and go to install it and i get this error, this is what it says exactly

Arma is not installed on your computer or installation is corrupted.

I have Arma patched to 1.14 and I dont have any problems with the game.

Any ideas, or should i just wait til the actual patch comes out?

Beta folder inside arma?

Registry got corrupted? ArmA entry missing in registry?

[maruk 80]

What version you have (Steam, other?) and what OS?

no beta folders

looked in the registry using the regiedit under run

and found the Bis studios folder and had Arma

and then another folder same thing with arma and arma 2 folders

the Arma key is there just the reg_binary

no main reg_SZ though if that matters

Main reg. key contains details about the installatio path. Why is could be missing on your system, honestly, I don't know, but that is the reason for patch installation problem.

I've had the same message when I tried to install on the server with an earlier version, because I had removed arma.exe. It's worth checking whether arma.exe was renamed (e.g. to get crossfire working).

Ok, so what should I do reinstall Arma and just repatch it?

Is arma.exe present in the folder that the game was installed in?

[Gunter Severloh 4070]

yes it is

[Herbal Influence 10]

I have no problems but the showing up of the old text "patch 1.04 is available" everytime I enter Multiplayermode ....

[HitmanFF 6]

yes it is

Then I don't see any other option besides reinstalling.

Will there be a FINAL Release for the 1.18 patch now, or is the RC now considered final and there won't be any other releases?

[wipman 1]

Hi, seems that the Release Candidate speaks by it self, is not the final patch but the release candidate; the final patch will have the fixes of the v1.18RC plus some more fixes depending on the feedback that BIS receive plus their own testing. Let's C ya

[Andi 10]

We consider this patch final but we mark it Release Candidate just in case some major problem is found.

He says they consider this RC as final, so there goes you "self-explanatory description". :rolleyes:

Warfare is still screwed up. You get a team status error message and a "options" message pops up in the middle of the screen. I have mentioned this before.

Can I put 1.14 back on top of 1.18 and go back to where I was. These issues were not in 1.14.

Edited December 19, 2009 by Pain-less

[Andi 10]

You should be able to copy the warfare.pbo from the 1.14 and overwrite the 1.18 warfare.pbo.

I don't really edit or mess with game files anyway since I'm no modder or mission maker, I drew this conclusion out of common sense :D I could be totally wrong though... :D

EDIT: Don't forget the warfare.pbo.bi.bisign, both files are in the Addons folder

[der_silenus 10]

As far as I see, this game is still the most buggy game ever.

Sorry, I ve really loved OFP, and I love ArmA, but I havent had a game with more bugs.

And the videos from the "Gamestar" Magazin, showed me that the only diference between ArmA 1.18 and Arma2 is the graphic.

The AI still doesnt deserve that "name", the physik engine is still "interesting"
