so is http://dev-heaven.net/issues/12920 fixed in this build ? I know suma said it was fixed in 72744 but the ticket is still open and changelog doesnt say anything about it. Can anyone confirm ?

I noticed the same, FLIR is way too dark now. Hopefully they will fix this soon rather than leaving it broken for months like many bugs i've seen.

Dont get me wrong, im not a BIS hater, i play arma 2 almost everyday and i love it =) I might even end up buying the DLCs, im just disappointed that BIS is trying to make money and wasting resources with such small addons while there are bugs that havent been fixed since the game came out, plus the AI is still so bad that i even avoid talking about it. There are many, many things can and MUST be improved in arma2 How is wanting a game i love to be in a much better state than it is selfish ? anyone that cares about this game would choose that over halfassed addons. And im sorry if i sound rude, but like i said, im not a hater. Only someone completely clueless would say that, either you dont play arma 2 or you're just a silly fanboy.

What i'd like: BIS to stop cowmilking. Stop releasing stuff that many modders can/already did for free and spend your time fixing this broken game. New maps would also be cool, simply because i <3 all the maps made by BIS and because that would actually require some efford to do, but please, stop trying to sell a couple of models and skins, its just pathetic when you have such a great modding community, no offense intended.

Just rewrite the netcode, im sick of the warping. Oh and hire a QA team, BI obviously doesnt have one

Hi guys, im sorry if someone already bring this up but im having an issue with OA + warfx, when there is too much smoke (the white one deployed by armors as countermeasures) my game crashes with "too many virtual memory blocks requested", im not 100% sure if this is caused by warfx but i've heard it is, anyone else experiencing this ? I never had any issues in A2 and this smoke is the only thing that can make my game crash.

I had the exact same problem, however running it with win98 compatibility mode like someone suggested works :confused: Is this okay ? Thanks for the tool! edit: Seems to crash alot (freezes)... no idea if this is caused by running it in win98 compatibility mode or not.

In my case its just a graphic bug... like i see a perfectly intact tank but in fact its destroyed, no destroyed model/fire, removing warfx seems to fix it (i was using old warfx version but worked fine before), theres also smth that is confusing me, sometimes i hit a tank and get kills from the crew, but then the tank is perfectly intact when i get in ? Is that supposed to be a feature ? wasnt like that before

That happens to me all the time.. i wonder if its a conflict with warfx, worked fine before :confused:

Thank you! I've updated my userconfig but i still have the rangefinder problem... http://i41.tinypic.com/54gjra.jpg unless something changed it should say the range but it doesnt :( edit: Solved, after checking the new keys.hpp it seems that now its requires to "toggle power" by pressing R, this wasnt required last time i used it, sorry for my noobness :rolleyes:

uh, thanks, i'll check it out. Btw what happened to http://dev-heaven.net/wiki/ace-mod2/Lazy ? need the lazy method yml file =\

Hi everyone, after not touching arma for a couple of months i've started playing again but now im having a problem with the rangefinder (vector 21B nite), it just doesnt show distance, and yes, i do have the battery, the red dot and green circle appears but nothing else.. it used to work fine, any idea whats wrong ? Also, everytime i join a server it says that my userconfig files are outdated but deleting them and running updater does not create them... so i asked a friend to send me his files but i still get the same error, dunno if its a bug or actually matters. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Now the 2 questions that everyone should ask before even thinking about buying another BIS product: will OA be the bugfest that A2 was when it was released ? Will OA be better optimized than current A2 version ?

uh thermal doesnt work for me... i've tried T or shift + T but nothing happens, i use six updater @ lazy method and im sure its fully updated (im able to join servers with latest version) help ? :mad: edit: nvm, found xeno post, thanks

Are you using ACE ? Sounds like g force effects ^^

Yes i think you are right, but i thought a E8400 3.6 would be enough,i guess not :(

I just noticed that i lose 15 FPS with ace, just tried same settings in 2 servers that run the same mission, only difference is that one has ace the other doesnt, ACE = 20 fps, vanilla = 35 FPS, exactly the same settings (including viewdistance) :confused: is this normal ?

Honestly we have so many great modders/mods that i dont understand why bis wastes time and resources with missions. I rather see bug fixes and improvements.

So who had the wonderful idea of making the tusk armor even stronger ? Not trying to disrespect the creators, the mod is awesome, but cmon, didnt ace claim to bring balance ? You just made it even worse so far. I rather have ka's 1 shooting armors from 6 km away like in vanilla then hitting a tusk with 2 metis and 4 rpg7 and they are not even disabled, 4 vhkr hits to kill a tusk, really ?! t90 vs tusk battles are also pretty pathetic now and lets not even talk about giving so many new toys to blufor while giving pretty much nothing to opfor, besides a nerfed metis. Will we ever see any balance in ace or this is how its gonna be ?

I play with 1440x900 resolution and unless i set fillrate to 200% everything looks like crap but that drops my FPS to 20... With 100% everything looks horrible specially vegetation, like if there is no AA at all, even tho AA is set to high (theres no very high option for some reason) (e8400 3.8ghz / ati 5850), anyone else experiencing this ? I Just cant make the game run smooth and looking very good at the same time but i think i should be able to. edit: i disabled AA ingame and now 100% or 200% doesnt make any difference performance wise, weird >.< still not getting more than 20 fps tho

You can find beta patches here http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php The error you are talking about simply means that you are trying to join a server that requires a mod that u dont have. What do you mean with your computer crashes ? Just the game crashes, pc freezes, reboots, blue screens ? Post more details ;)

Just in case someone experiences the problem i had and ends up here, setting AF to application managed in the drivers and using the ingame option instead fixed it, thanks everyone :)

I had that alot with my 8800 but once i got a 5850 it stopped being an issue, still happens everytime i spawn in a new place that i didnt load before, but everything loads much faster so i guess how much RAM your gfx card has matters alot

Dont think that makes any difference in my pc, i've tried with and without and i didnt notice any difference at all

Oh, so wrong, lol. Everything looks MUCH better with 200% fillrate, if i set 100% everything looks like crap, really.
