I dont even could complete any single mission without these coding mistakes not a singel mission even the shortest one made nothing just troubles there are so many i just list the hardes ones, but therefore i give them for free :D - i can drive a vehicle but therefor the AI maybe shoot or not on enemy - or i choose to shoot by myself but then its not possible to drive in combat cause... AI - cant step out of vehicles without every member of the team is automaticly hurt (slightly) - countless times non responding teammembers, in some missions even ALL did just stand still -on this point i´ve got a sidenote, cause i have to finish the long manhatten mission with my medic always wanted to run to support (who or whatever) so i have to keep him in a vehicle otherwise he always run away :banghead: but keeping him useful in a vehicle ?? look back to the first 2 points so the only thing i can approve now on the 13th day is, that its definitely unplayable even with a newer patch, wheres the joke playing it again ? restarted numerous times so joy was the smallest feeling i had

I (as always) tried to play the NAPA line but after i met them first time my team doesnt respond anymore, not a big suprise, just the bugfest continues :mad:

Well good to hear that it will be usable, actually when i heard mortar i was thinking about this thing http://www.inetres.com/gp/military/infantry/mortar/M224.html because its man portable, the tricky thing will be the aiming interface

If you can get back to the base then you got luck, cause there you can refuel at the barrels on the inside right side of the entrance. And yes to the suggestions why theres no fuel, same happend in formely yugoslavia, IF there is any fuel or an open station then you also only get the fuel with a special coupon that alows you to buy a specific amount... well that was the official way :P

Yepp same here, it says patch is already installed. And the 28Mb difference should at least take a short time just to install something. But after checking it shows immediatly that its installed. Re-installation ? ouch that would be my second one and then theres just 1 left before this game gets dropped :(

Windows 7 is a perfectly usuable OS And all those microfsoft dunno´s didnt realized it and still working on it :D What i meant was that there are many discussions like that since the first availible download, and it makes no sense to create workarounds, hacks and other waste of hours and days just in its simple fact that its an unfinished OS. The example with arma2 i just wrote cause it fits to this forum. But i tell you the truth, i didnt wanted to post here cause imho it dont belongs to this thread but i was forced to do so by .... hmm lets wait with this :j: There are a bunch of other forums where the ppl coding their asses off just to find a solution which is obselete with the next release or update, thats the point. btw never had or will have vista :p

If i get bored or need a little amusement i like to read all those Windows 7 ppl actually in my case now the discussions in a superior combination of this szenario Windows 7 (unfinished OS) + Arma2 (sadly buggy) + a BETA patch is there ANY reason why such questions should bring a usable result ? please dont misunderstand my point, dont stop it cause its really fun to read but are all those ppl expect a long term solution?

:icon14:Tomcat13 i totally agree and understand what u mean, well in fact i´ve tried to ask the same question just with less words, then i was moved to the mod and scripting section, now i know why :D the mortar is just a "toy" in the editor like the small artillery cannons, which i dunno thought can also be used manually the mortar is a difficult weapon and should stay difficult ingame also, but as you said - it opens a great variation of tactics

This is about the interface selection after you died or want to retry the Mission. I´m not sure if its the right thread for the translators of the game to read but in the now released german version you have to select Erneut and Erneut spielen wich sounds even confusing if translated in english, its similar to again and play again not sure if its a big issue but it would be better to change it with more noticeable words, cause 1 starts the whole mission again and the other starts from your last auto ? save i think, the only problem will be the short space for the words, so it must be something like Speicherpunkt and Mission Neu imho

@ The Masta: the 1.01 beta patch u mean besides - the combination of patch + beta is always good for a laugh And like Stauffenberg wrote, if a game is not playable then its better to give it back. Is a big difference between patching a game or simply release an unfinished one. So if the first post is really serious with the first sentence that sounds like an excuse to me - hey folks its just a first try, we relase the real game later in some other countries. And my first impressions where also not really ejoyable: First installation was playable only till MOUT Mission in the Tutorial then crashed with instant restart and after trying to start the game again it said "Bad Serial Number given in Setup" :confused: Nothing helped so i reinstalled it (try and error like) After that it runs better or longer, however you want to call it, but it looks like it´s just bringing me to other "crash points" in the game. Till now i had 4 Bluescreens 1 CTD , 3 strange printing error messages :butbut: and 2 instant reset´s It looks like an implemented bug script if you overlooking it :D oh and i quit counting the freezes where i have to use the taskmanager to quit Well summarized its the beginning of an.... anyway lets see how fast the guys react on the messages of the beta buyers, hope they have comfortable places to rest in the studios cause theres no time to leave the building :D

Does anyone figured out how to use the mortar or artillery targeting on the command map ? I played around with the "Podnos" but ...uuhhm...somehow it...... lets say.... wasnt a thrilling expierience. And the manual, oh dear, think we can start a whole "Petergames Manual" Section, but something tells me it wont be patched anyway :D

And now? Is it coming or didnt i figured it out till now ?
