Latest Beta Patch: 72018

Yea , what do you expect 500 fixes in one beta patch ? :p

Actually, no. BIS often fixes other issues and tweaks things that are not listed in the changelog.

If you are trying to run missions using A2 content on the latest server, you may have some issues. I've found that missions can take several attempts to get started properly.

I find that using Mk17 CCO SD seems to be more exposed than MK16 CCO SD.

Unless I'm mistaken, a 7.62 caliber rifle can't be suppressed nearly as well as 5.56.

It coem to my ind reading the lates post all over the Board that more and more of the new ArmA layer dont like the way the games tries to the more and more things the right way. Where do they all come from?

ArmA is the realism unit in MilSim games, what else do you exspect.

I take it what you actually mean is the people not liking it when the game is improved to be more realistic?

There is a fine line between fun-and-less-realistic and uber-realistic-but-no-fun. Arma 2 is a commercial game, therefore it needs to have slight archaic elements to keep it fun. If you want total realism then you should be buying VBS2 instead. That's not to say realism improvements aren't welcome (I love all the new stuff in OA to bits), they just have to tread lightly and try to keep it realistic and fun at the same time.

In my personal opinion that's why I don't really like ACE2, for example. I appreciate the amazing amount of features it has, but the uber-realism makes it no fun for me. But there are still many others who find uber-realism still fun, and ACE2 grants them that, which is all I could ask for. :)

The slight improvement in realism emulaton in the current betas is in no way comparable what ACE does...I don't like the ACE kind of complication either.

But is is very nice to see soem of the ACE features introduce in a soft manner now in unmodded OA.

am I the only person getting out of memory crashes with this new beta?

Anyone else getting a bunch or errors with this beta patch?

I got them with the last beta patch and this one. I went back to 71900 and everything seems fine.

The errors are a bunch of

....no entry 'bin\configbin/.....

I didn't record all the different errors but their were at least a half dozen that popped up.
