Community driven Bug&Issue Tracker (CIT) for ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead and ARMA 2

[oktane 0]

Hi, i've observed may "issues" that i would call bugs, in the ArmA2, they're there too after patch the game to the 1.07; mainly things like missing parts on LODs (i.e: the M1911 front sight = not pressent.) or shadows bugs on the units (i.e: USMC officer's cap don't haves shadow), this model don't have chest pockets on his jacket and neither on his sleeves. And are some more like this, i've also issues with the keys not responding in game and i've a "small issue" with the OA single (training) missions as i don't have an specific key to crouch, so i can't pass the 1St stage = closed access to OA's armoury. This kind of things that don't make CTDs or entire break the game... are issues that report in the CTI? or we should do it here, in the forums instead?. Let's C ya

Yes, while minor those would all be actual bugs imo, aside from the ones about pockets and crouching. Especially if they can be reproduced on another players machine, then for sure they are universal bugs. (like i have verified that the shadow is missing for the hat)

The pockets inclusion was the artists choice when BIS made the model, I don't see how this is a bug at all. If it was posted, it would pretty quickly be assigned into a feature request I bet. The last one about crouching, um, set a key to crouching? That sounds like a user configuration issue, the game expects you to have a key bound to it. If you don't want to do it, then while in the mission, hold down left shift and type: numpad -, e, n ,d, m, i, s, s, i, o, n (without the commas, all while holding left shift) What that will do is pass the mission successfully. Dunno if it works for what you are talking about. I find it simpler to use the mission editor to test things rather than the armory.

I too had some LOD issues with the betas that became 1.07 and 1.07 itself. Especially certain weapons held by other units appearing to be square and malformed up close. (very low LOD) This has also started happening in recent OA betas. The front sights being missing may be a part of this overall LOD issue, or something else..(I can't understand why the game would show low LOD models for the players 1st person gun, it shouldn't do that afaik) If you run very low graphics settings, be sure to mention that if you report it or find the existing ticket. I looked at the 1911 and it appears normal in my 1.07 A2, it has a front sight even though it is a bit low. (the camera alignment is a little bit off, it's hard to see)

Cheers

Hi, with all or most the settings on high, this is how i see the M1911 A1 front sight in the ArmA2 and OA:

I'll call that a bug... the problem to reproduce some of the other issues that i've, is that some are not easy to reproduce AFAIK... like the keybinds issue... i'd configured the game (ArmA2 and OA) as the ArmA, same kybinds for same functions; but for example the switch fire modes key don't works most (like %80) of the times as soldier on foot... and never work as gunner on tanks and APCs/IFVs, like on the LAV III or the AAV7A1 so i don't know how to reproduce this issue that i've with the keys other than copy and paste my entire game's config, where everything looks normal to me.

Sort of off-topic, but what is that little radar thing with the names at the bottom of your screenshot? Is that some mod?

Hi, yeah man, it's a great mod/addon made by zx64 called: ShackTac Fireteam HUD. And can be found here: - ShackTac Fireteam HUD v100715.

It looks great and do a great job, i've only try it in SP on the 1St missions of the campaign (of the ArmA2) and is really usefull, but if you load a save game... it don't shows up again; i hope that they fix that little issue, improves very much the game play. Let's C ya

Quick Bug report Arma2 OA combo.

Don't know if any one mentioned a small graphics issue with some of the Mi8 helicopters?

Empty ones when started up ,the hub starts to spin about 4 seconds before the blades giving a weird tangle effect.

Sorry but I am not going through all the issue tracker stuff so I will report it here. Take it or leave it :)

I notice that the FN AL rifle does not have a consistent sound. When I fire a few clips some rounds sounds sound more like a M16. So its a mix of brighter sounds and heavyer sounds now.

[1in1class 0]

Ya try to log into the CIT tracker sit but cant. Hope that somebody has took up on note of the A-10 and F-35 AA warning system thats not working properly.

[Dwarden 1124]

Trampoline Rocks ( I will make a CIT on this)

Noticing my squad member or other members lying prone on rocks in OA and dying from it.

They are unable to walk, roll or run off the rocks.

Sometimes as a sniper, I want to lay prone on a rock, but end up dying after bouncing up and down about a 100 times.

Sorry, I searched this and found nothing.

Yeah, I died multiple times my self from that, sometimes I can get out of the bounce loop by moving backwards in prone. Also pretty hard to kill a bouncing AI sniper from 500 meters.

Everytime I'm in the chopper and order my team to get in the chopper with me, one of them runs towards the rear of the chopper and gets killled by the blades...

Hi, i've noticed a weird bug on the ArmA2 related to the player's head model, no matters if you use a custom face or one of the predefined faces on the player's profile; is this:

The Thing:

Happens or it's noticeable when you're in contact with smoke, from a smoke nade as seen on the screenshot or from an explosion. I don't remember if it happens too with the OA or CO as i've uninstalled the OA due to extremely low performance and display issues with the OA. This are my system specs:

And by the way, i don't gonna use the CTI report form not because i don't want to help BIS to find out bugs and fix things, i don't gonna use it because it's messy as hell, takes too long and it's unnecessary complex. I've updated my Nvidia Drivers to the latest 258.96 and haven't seen any change on any of the games or programs that i've on the computer.

Other thing... i don't know if that bug have something to do with the huge difference (to worst) beteween the ArmA custom faces shape and the ArmA2 custom faces, while in the ArmA they looked good, had the true colours that you seen on the .jpg in the ArmA2 you don't see the same on the player's profile than in game, could related to the head model... to some property of the head model... or to the specular maps; i don't know, but now on the ArmA2 the custom faces suck once in game; and that annoys me. Let's C ya

wipman CIT form messy as hell and takes too long ?

hell most of the fields are not needed ...

1. create account

2. fill form (only what's you think it's needed so just description and some checkbox)

3. attach files if it's crash or screenshot or video

over ...

in fact forum post is more mess than the CIT reprot

when You look on it from easy to use point of view ...

Unable to get in to dev heaven due to bad gateway error so sorry if this question causes annoyance. Is there any word about the fixing of the enemy vehicle detection range of the mi-24's, currently it's still approx 800m was hoping for fix in latest patch but no cigar. This as been a issue since ARMA2, I believe and really puts OPFOR at a disadvantage. On a up note BIS you are to be congratulated for the latest version and the brilliant implementation of the DLC Brit lite system.

Basic tripod bags are not in the backpack menu in the editor. Static placed weapons can be broken down into mortar + tripod sets, but a bagged mortar (for example) given to a player, or left for them to collect is useless, as we can no longer give/place the tripod required to assemble it for use. OP tested better than I did though, I just came across it by accident while toying with mortar packs and static weapons just now. :)
