  1. road runner, you should understand that we will come back in this thread everyday until the night lightning is fixed.

    Many issues were acknowledged, like no ponds, AI driving nuts, middle range texture, AI pathfinding...Etc Some have been fixed, some are WIP (eg AI driving), some have not been touch at all (based on public communication from BI) after 3 years.

    Many of those issues have woarkarounds (either by mod, script or just by clever mission making understanding the issue being faced).

    Broken night is just a no go. It's breaking too many missions/scenario/gameplay style. I was not an issue last month, it was easy to detect, it should not have been sent to prod in its current implementation. No amount of "be patient" will make the "it needs to be fixed now" go. In fact, you're producing the exact opposite effect: each time you try to explain us we should accept the situation as it is, a different poster is coming to tell this is not acceptable, fueling this endless discussion that will only end when BI fixes the night.

  2. People, we had this discussion before already. Some people like the new nights and some don't. I don't think anyone can convince the other of thinking differrent, so don't bother. It's getting old and all we can do is give our own opinion directed towards BIS and wait what they make of it.

    At least, that's my point of view...

     

    It's not a question of liking, Dwarden acknowledged the night is broken.

  3. and that is why they have Dev build, to put forward all these suggestions and issues, don't see many of the ones complaining about how much the new visuals suck, were posting their issues throughout dev build either ;)

     

    You mean QA was unable to detect that night lightning was broken, camo are shining..etc and gave their ok for 1.60 to go live ? Impressive.


  4. Thx defunkt & roshnak.

     

    edit: You could do what defunkt suggested above, but it would only look right for a given range of light levels. Setting the aperture to 140 will make day look okay, but night will be literally completely black.

     

    ok, thx, so this is not the magic wand to get the best of both world (old and new visual).


  5. However, if BI officially release Chernarus as a DLC map pack, then yes, they would have an obligation to ensure ongoing quality.

     

    But if they did, we would have a bunch of people on here complaining about the nerve of BI charging to port forward their old maps. 

     

    I would have gladly paid a DLC at A3 launch to get all the A1 and A2 assets ported to A3 !! :)

  6. And whose fault is it when 3rd party maps are not adjusted?

     

    BIS of course !! 95 % of the assets used in those maps are coming from vanilla Arma 1 and 2 contents, contents that should have been updated by BIS while doing A3.

    Arma lives because of its community. Destroying the mods is not the right way to ensure its survival. Who better than them (ie BIS) can easily update all the previous contents ?

    Through an incredible work of multiple people, we had A3MP, AiA and now CUP that gives us the ability to play on nearly all the previous maps. Right now, every assets has to be updated (again?). Sorry but the non shadow on A1/A2 trees are just making everything unreal.


  7. i.e. the mods they are now stored in your steam cache not in the folder you told it before (there is another threath somewhere where BIS_Wizard explains that)

     

    AFAIK, this is only true for mods coming from the workshop. Some people can't activate mods downloaded and installed the old way.


  8. My Vietnam unit made a torrent mirror download for this Bravo release. https://www.mediafire.com/?o7jthnciqngfpzq

    You can virus check it all you want but trust me plenty of people are downloading it and the more people the faster it goes.
