I was enjoying beta testing! :)

I guess it was inevitable with the immanent release of AO

There is a readme at the above link but I cant view it yet.

Ps : looking forward to it, thanks BIS! :cheers:

I would like to thank everyone for their support over the past few months with testing and improving this update

And in return, we would also like to thank you, and your team, for this amazing/never ending game! :ok:

Would someone be so kind as to post readme/changelog if (when) it's available?

[seelix 10]

nice !

was waiting so long.

but a quick question:

do i need patch 1.05 after a fresh install of arma2,or is it good enough to install the game and use the 1.07 straight after ?

[70651] Improved: Increased limits to prevent "Too many virtual memory blocks requested" error.

I hope this patch includes the "fix" the old kickback recoil back to game

Suma said it was implemented in 71752. Changelog for the patch only goes up to 71721 and therefore doesn't include it, but we'll see what happens when the patch is released.

Great timing right at the onset of the weekend for this patch. Here's looking forward to it. :)

[mr.g-c 6]

I hope they will fix the beta-patch introduced performance issue with trees before packing and releasing this patch. See http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=100871

Would be bad otherwise to introduce a performance breakdown in a retail patch.

:( that will be very very bad if not :(

I was hoping there would maybe be some extra changes that where not in the Beta, but it doesn't look like it. Or maybe even a new vehicle to play with (yeah I know, we are greedy buggers :P) Only things I hadn't seen before are these:

Improved: armor on MLRS, Ikarus and armored HMMWV.

Fixed: speed indicator on M1030 motocycle.

Fixed: geometry on "Objects - Illuminant Tower".

Fixed: get-in points in GRAD.

Fixed: graphics artifact on T72 wreck and pickup wreck.

Fixed: shadows on ammo-boxes.

Improved: penetrability on wrecks of vehicles.

Fixed: zeroing of silenced G36.

Damn beta testing, akin to opening your presents before Christmas :D

[Big Dawg KS 6]

Any news as to whether or not this patch will go live through Steam? It's quite a significant update if you consider Steam is still technically at 1.04.

It has been raised today.... they won't fix it in a patch that is obviously already compiled
