Uninstall firewall and anti-virus programs before updating Vista to SP1. Helped for me. Now it should go all the steps normaly. After succesfully update you can put your antivirus and firewall back.

Voting system definetly sucks. Human player should be forced to command. Some guys already posted about this. Typical scenario... 32 player map. Then there is 1-5 players who care about the vote. Other players just ingonere it or they are just noobish. Even flaming and instulting them doesn't help. Another problem. People change sides at the start. So they know where both base are. Easier to play with few friends like 3vs3 on 16 player version. Keeps the blood pressure low. "all your base are belong to us"

Best ArmA patch so far. No CTD's. No major lod problems. Good frames. Good games. 8800GT, Vista64, E6600, 4Gb ah the joy when you can use 3km+ viewdistance and scout for enemy base from the mountains in warfare.

They do. But not always. Anyone knows what affects this? Need more barracks or something? And the reloading of the artillery is difficult.

Good job! Nice little campaign. "Broken arrow!!! Broken arrow!!!" Good atmosphere all around the campaing. The bloody bdrm from Hell. At first i had no sounds with the RH_ak's. But once i replaced the rh_ak's with the OTK_ak's i got the sounds back.

There's already topic for BattlEye problems: ArmA - Multiplayer - BattlEye Problems but join the club... now you can't even use Fraps without getting Direct3D_Hook message.

Testing new version: People get kicked for folowing reasons: "Update failed" "Client not responding" and new one which also happend to me when i tryed to take a screenshot "DirectX_3DHook" I know the idea is nice. But it is causing more problems then it does good at the moment. BattlEye --->

"Client not responding" something like that. So the BattlEye doesn't like the situation when ArmA is on black screen "receiving..." -state? Which happens every time when you go alt+tab and back.

Got booted by battleye two times last night when i was alt+tabbed at desktop. Then when i stayed ingame it didn´t happen again. Maybe just coincidence as there were many disconnecting because of the BattlEye last night on SES-server.

So Alt+Tab is a big no no with BattlEye?

1280x1024. 8800GT. Could use it. But wont use it. I keep it low. Never liked any "blur" effects on games. And in ArmA the iron sight gets so blurred that you cant shoot anything. Useless effect if you ask me.

nade = hand granade

And you are using the new "launch arma beta patch" -shortcut? Which is in the ArmA folder.

Had this on arma.rpt like zillion times and then ArmA crashed. What has happend since 1.11beta? It was almost perfect. No problems. Now all kind of problems with 1.12beta. People complaining on server about videomemory problems again. And why on earth FOV was changed. There was already addons for that. Vista64 SP1, 8800GT 512, 4Gb, E6600

It Might be the addons with 1.12b i know. But no problems with the same addons in 1.11beta. Just curious if someone else has had same addons and same problems... vista64, 4gb, E6600@3,2 and gfx you can see from the above.

I've had two CTD's with 1.12beta. No problems with 1.11beta. Vista x64 SP1, 4Gb, E6600, 8800GT (174.74 nvidia drivers) . Both times in multiplayer at dedi server. Also think that performance has gone worse since 1.11beta. Weird stuttering going on more. And everything was fine two days ago. Everything else is the same in this machine except 1.11b to 1.12b

Just giving this modification my With 1.11beta and ECS. ArmA is starting to feel The game again.

FPS drops from 75 to 25 and game becomes very laggy when flying first over the land and then going above the water. (something with water textures and memory?) Then when I Alt-Tab, FPS goes back to 75 over the water also. Tested this in Editor several times. 8800 GT 512MB (drivers. 169.44.), Vista x64, 4GB RAM. E6600at3.2Ghz. All settings high, except AA and AF normal. Viewdistance 3500. Resolution 1280x1024.

One happy Vista x64 + 4GB user here. Thank you BIS.

This is great. Now if only the major public servers would take their head out of their arse and try something new.

Not about time, but a nice move by BIS as Vista is still no official supported OS to run ArmA. We should be happy as little girls, that BIS is working on that end at all, and not say something like "It`s about time". If you have a problem with that use an supported OS, what would be: Windows 2000 and WinXP. Are you serious? You really think developers should not fix games to work with latest major OS? It reads in my Fallout II box that "Windows 95 supported OS" and i can still play it with Vista. And you say we should be happy that it's finaly fixed!?? Vista was already released when ArmA got out, so yea it's about time.

More then happy to see that ArmA + Vista64bit problems will be fixed. It's about time.

Yea i can't understand either why can't you release the current beta version for public. That way it will get more beta testers for sure and your work will live on. Even if you are not interested anymore. Like armaholic.com or armedassault.eu etc. popular ArmA sites could host your mission. Soon the mission would be all over the place... maybe. Most current players probably don't even read these forums and so they have no clue about berzerk2.

No. Don't cancel berzerk. I mainly play coop but berzerk is the only enjoyable player vs. player mode in ArmA. And with good teams you have that coop in there too. Few weeks ago i played the new beta version on some german server after evening spent at the bar (was pretty drunk) and it seemed good. Didn't see any major problems? Not seen the map since... At the moment Evolution and Domination is so overplayed and nobody plays good old normal coop maps anymore. This community definetly needs something refreshing. I would enjoy killing other players again in berzerk instead of stupid AI. And with 1.09b ArmA runs so much better that i don't understand why most are still using the 1.08 and most of the servers are still 1.08.

Have you asked in the IC-ArmA forums if they've changed something at their server or if they know something about your problem? Maybe they can help you. You have played before on that server? Anyway weird problem. If you are not banned or too big custom file etc... but that would probably shown in that log and is a common problem. sry can't help you more
