ARMA 2: 1.07 Patch Released!!!

[CarlGustaffa 4]

Could very well be, considering in Arma2 we don't have the needed commands (addCamShake and setCamShakeDefParams), , ref. But I don't think kickback was supposed to be an exclusive feature for OA, at least I didn't "read it" like that.

Hey, UncleKeith!

You have beast pc... Want to ask you something. How do you force v-sync off? Or you don't, because you have very powerfull pc?

Which -exThread to use for my rig, specs below? (2 cores, 4 threads)

I'll test later on my desktop rig and report back.

i'm not sure if you need to with the new patch... i could very easily be wrong though...

@Wolfstriked: OA went gold a while ago, beta updates has been hectic the last few days. I'm betting that BIS wants to have a nice patch for OA in a reasonable time, not only to serve us, but to address the techniques used in whatever not-so-legal versions that will appear eventually. Some of these new memory fixes will most likely not be included in the first OA release. And, are you sure the weapon shake we've seen from OA is actually the new kickback? If so, why is it included in the OA that went gold a while back but haven't been tested and adjusted during beta phase? To me, that looks more like a general "shake effect" (also seen when AT rounds explode nearby, but on a larger scale) rather than "kickback". I'm not sure though. I think I saw some OA version stating 1.05xxxx rather than 1.07xxxx, indicating that OA will need to be brought up to speed with Arma2, instead of vice versa.

Yes I guess I should stop complaining since BIS really are working their asses off.Also I never said that that :) video of the recoil fix had kickback.I thought otherwise and seen it had just the screen shake.I really hope BIS enable screen shake and the kickback effect to be moddable so that modders can tweak the individual weapons.

Uhoh...is that a global feature and not able to tweak each weapon?If BIS did this I do not know I can forgive them.Would be sweet to have machine guns with alot and pistols with little etc...

@uncle,you can force vsync off in ATI settings.I just reinstalled my OS on to my HDD and saved my SSD just for Arma2 and OA.I thought I would give this a try and see that is what u have done also.Nice to know your getting good results.

Ok finally download complete of 1.07 and it says "wrong CD key"???This is Steam version.

NEVERMIND....I had to run the game once first then apply patch.

Wolf, what ever you do, do not click or open ArmA2 through steam once it's been patched beyond 1.04. Steam will try to revert the version back to 1.04 since that's the last patched version it has in it's database. You probably already know this, but I figured I should warn yah anyways.

[Wolfstriked 11]

Thanks,actually I didn't know that.

[Steakslim 1]

Thanks,actually I didn't know that.

Yeah i'd suggest turning off the auto-update for ArmA2 as well.

[Roush 10]

Hey all, we have a server through Defcon Servers, they have installed the patch twice now, and we cannot get anything to load. Stuck at waiting for host. The patch works fine on our local machines but not the server. Is anybody having the same issue?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Roush

[Wolfstriked 11]

Thanks again Steakslim,will do.Now when will Steam add OA?

I have multiple installs of ARMA2..dvd and steam... This patch applies itself to steam version.. How do I tell to patch the path to the other install... thanks

[Wolfstriked 11]

Maybe try changing the Steam path so it finds the other installs?

when i installing AO in my Arma 2 game directory i have an error : ArmA II patch 1.07 error (CRC) what is that ?

[warrick 10]

Sprocket version of arma2 1.05 doesn't create an installation path registry key, so i manually have to create one to be able to patch the game. Is this a known issue, or should i mention it elsewhere?

[m1n1d0u 29]

negatif , arma 2 AO

[Dwarden 1125]

In other news, i updated the mirror list it's now enough huge to meet anyone demands...

[Dwarden 1125]

i have arma 2 1.07

what version of OA ? anyway official OA is not out yet so ... you need wait :)

[m1n1d0u 29]

sprocket version and it's at the installation not the launching

[Placebo 29]

sprocket version and it's at the installation not the launching

I had the same, just cancel and start setup.exe manually (find it in C:\Users\"yourname"\Documents\Sprocket

But talk about Sprocket OA is off topic here so move it to the Sprocket thread if needed please :)

First of all sorry for my poor English.

When viewing the list of changes 1.07 update improves the following:

[71143] Improved: -cpuCount=4 is now default on computers with more than four logical CPUs to prevent hyperthreading causing performance problems. If you want to use more CPUs, use -cpuCount=N to override this.

[71117] Optimized: Geometry loading in now optimized for multiple cores. Extra threading now enabled by default on computers with more that 2 CPUs. New possible -exThreads values: 5 (thread geometry loading only) and 7 (thread all)

I wondered if now the game will benefit from HT technology incorporating some Intel processors. I put my case as an example, with an Intel Xeon W3520:

With the 1.07 update installed, how ArmA II will have better performance?

- With HT disabled (4 physical cores) - 4.4 GHz each core.

- With HT enabled (4 physical cores + 4 logical cores) - 4.4 GHz each core.

I ask this because some applications have worse performance when HT enabled. Thank you very much. Greetings.

I couldn't find this answered so please don't skewer me.

I'm doing a fresh install of ArmA2 before installing OA. So should a person doing this do the following?

1. Install ArmA 2

2. Install ArmA2 OA

3. Install Patch 1.07

--OR--

1. Install ArmA 2

2. Patch ArmA 2 to 1.07

3. Install OA.

4. Re-apply patch 1.07
