Zipper5 74 Posted October 8, 2010 I'm liking these fixes, BIS! Great patch! :D I think HostMission will launch Arma 2 and automatically create a server and host the mission you tell it to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TRexian 0 Posted October 8, 2010 [73658] Changed: Preprocessor error no longer terminates the game. w00000tage! :) Some of my models have been getting hit with this recently, so I'm WAY happy it won't CTD now! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maddogx 13 Posted October 8, 2010 Z-Fighting fix is awesome, but seems to not work when prone. :confused: While standing or kneeling it works great, but when lying on the ground, major flickering returns. Still testing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeyCat 131 Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) Thank you BIS! [73646] Fixed: Reduced z-fight in scopes. Had to try this one out ASAP! Z-fighting is greatly reduced while standing or crouching but as soon as I go prone and look at the same objects in scope/binocs the Z-fighting/flickering is back with a vengance... Tried on both Chernarus and Takistan A2OA, no mods. A bit hard to show in screen shots (but easy to reproduce in game)... Chernarus Same positon but prone Takistan Same positon but prone Also tested to use the optics in tanks/APC/etc. and if the vechile standing still the Z-fighting/flickering is now barely notable - good work! On top of that I noticed that you solved the alpha bug when foggy :) /KC Edited October 8, 2010 by KeyCat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeyCat 131 Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) Is it me, or is the dreaded alpha-shine bug also squashed? I mean - WOOOOOOOOOT :) Just had a quick test before but the alpha bug was history for me and fog seems to work OK (maybe not as dense as I remember but no artifacts at least)! Now we can have thoose spooky nightmissions back :D If BIS just nail the Z-fighting in prone position (and I'm sure they do) this is a winner IMO! /KC Edited October 8, 2010 by KeyCat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maturin 12 Posted October 8, 2010 Do supersonic cracks from bullets still play out of order in OA? Or put more accurately, do muzzle blasts still travel at the speed of light 6 times out of 10? There is no longer a ticket regarding this on devheaven, so does that mean that it is fixed? OA has been out for a long time now, so someone must have noticed. And if it isn't fixed and BI sorts it out in a beta patch, I will freaking buy OA just for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
