So far all patches have worked as they should. I have Czech version converted to English.
I can't imagine that future patches will work on 1 version of the game but not on others, it would make MP incompatable and a mess.
-
I gave it a try but no difference. Thanks for the suggestion tho.
-
I noticed it got really slow after the first patch, so maybe they can fix it. May not be high on their priorities tho.
-
Shame the AI are still stupid on dedicated servers, next patch maybe?
or wait for ECP. 
-
Sorry BIS but you struck out again. No improvement of AI on dedicated server. Still stupid as ever.
-
I found it very difficult to get AI AA guys to fire at a chopper. I had to get the chopper stationary above them for about 30 seconds before they would engage.
They constanty stood and watched a chopper fly past at about 200 meters.
I gave up on the AI and used a shilka to do the job.
-
Does it come with an uninstaller or is just a matter of removing files to get back to pri installation?
-
There are lots of problems in MP waypoints and triggers especially vehicles. I have given up making missions until everything has been sorted.
MP is a joke compared to hosted.
-
I would't say worthless, but not the experience that it should be.
The official dedicated files have not made any difference. I hope there will be a patch correcting this.
-
I doubt it

I agree, bandwidth and a stable connection are most important. If you can get about 100BW you will have no problem. Go to a server that has a lot of BW, SES is 100MB server, I never lose connection. I often have the ability to ready up before players who are much nearer the server that me.
Yes I have 100MB connection, it is usual here. Don't think anyone has less than 12MB. You are getting screwed LOL.
-
That is basically crap. I have been playin online OFP, VBS1 and now ArmA for 4 years.
I live in Japan but play mainly in the UK. If you have a good connection a ping upto 300 is fine. You will notice no lag.
My friend has been hosting in London, my ping is 270 and every thing is good, no lag no warping.
I play at SES they have a 100MB connection, no lag, no warping.
I have a 100MB connection but I think with a 2 or 3 MB connection you will have no problem.
I play only coop, if you play PvP you may have a slight disadvantage with a ping over 100.

I did a test of a squad reaction to 1 of it's members being shot the squad
is a standard squad with abilities untouched and no waypoints.
The first move is on a dedicated server. Sorry, not very exciting.

The second movie is Hosted, basically what you would see if you put it on
the editor.

Big difference right! The AI come looking for you on their own accord.
I have several missions where if I play them on the dedicated server the AI
are just basically static targets to be shot, but if I host with friends
the AI come to life and use strategy to attack us, it's like playing a
totally different mission.
So why are AI so dumb on dedicated servers? Will official software from BIS
to run dedicated servers fix this?
If you only play on dedicated servers you are not playing to the full
potential of ArmA.
Sorry Youtube not so great quality

Thanks for the help Sickboy. That looks good for the tanks, but There is still an overall drop in AI ability on dedicated.
Maybe we have to wait for the official dedicated software
-
Cheers.

Would be happy to where and when?
I am on TS at SES With Wildgoose
-
No, I think he left everything as default.
I wonder if it is something I haven't put into my missions? I have only tested missions that I have made.
-
Thanks Sickboy. I have made over 30 MP missions for ofp and VBS but I have never seen such a difference in AI behaviour from hosting and dedicated, I don't want to play on dedicated servers now I would much rather host with a few friends. You should try it and see if you notice the difference in AI it really feels like you are playing a dumbed down version on dedicated.
I really noticed the difference when the patch came out.
-
Got it
Smoke="Smokeshell" createvehicle [(getPos Name select 0),(getPos Name select 1),0]
-
I have noticed the AI act very differently depending if you are playing on a dedicated server or someone hosting, especially since the official patch.
When hosting, the AI are more intelligent and aggressive. I tried the same map on dedicated and then host, the difference is unbelievable.
Are there some setting that I haven't set up in the dedicated side ie level of difficulty or something.
Anyone els noticed this or can test it?
-
Sentralia, if you want a sim play VBS1 if you want a game play ArmA
I stopped playing VBS coz I prefer a game to a sim.
-
Well, I tried
"SmokeShellRed" createVehiceLocal (getPos trig1)
trig1 being a game logic, but it didn't like it. "missing ;"
-
Yes, I have noticed that.
Please let us lock our vehicles!!!

Find a server where the admin knows the password and is not voted in, is usually good. He knows how to run a public server
