How to stay up to date with the latest beta:
- MadDogX made a ARMA 2 Beta Notifications website, an Arma 2 Beta RSS Feed and an Arma 2 Beta Twitter Feed.
- kicktd made an Arma 2/Arma 2 OA/CO Beta Patch Downloader. This program will check to see if a new patch is available and if the patch is not in the downloads folder (same folder as the program) it will download the patch. This will not install the patch to prevent unwanted installation.
- danczer made an Arma 2 Beta List Application to follow new beta patch releases. The current version is 1.15.
It offers some additional features which are handy when you want to follow the beta development.
You can find more info and download the application from here: Arma 2 Beta List Application.
- Yapab made an email notifier, fill in the form and make sure to allow the email to come through so it does not end up in your spam box!
All comments cleared. None of the previous comments was (directly) related to the new beta versions since the 1.60 official patch release.

[95309] Changed: MP: Dayz servers are now visible if and only if the Dayz mod is active.
Love it, though I'm concerned about the fact there is a beta patch so soon. Although they are backwards compatible, with so many official/beta patches floating around it becomes difficulty, especially for new players, to work out what should be used.
Since patch 1.60 the AI goes brain dead for me after a few minutes (stops firing, engaging enemy, armoured vehicles disapear off radar). Because of these bugs Warfare is pointless or any other big game mode. I get this with or without addons and i know of two others that get the same prob. I wish this prob would get adressed because its killed this game for me and a few others. If anyone out there wants to test what i mean set up a big tank vs tank battle or just play warfare for half an hour (radar bug and brain dead ai).
Karl:

Its best if you can post that at the community issue tracker (DevHeaven CIT). Posting a comment here will most definatelly not help at all unless others experience the same and reports it.
Chicken:
Many patches with updates and improvements is one of the great things with ARMA. I know it can be frustrating to some people, and to some its like christmas everytime. Some better system for this would be nice. That you see a new beta is out and have the option to install it when in-game (click button - download - restart game - done). It is indeed a hassle to new players. We old dogs know to check the beta page everyday and install straight away.
I have the same prob as karl......since 160 patch warfare is DEAD!!!!! And all large battles are too....AI just goes stupid, can walk straight upto enemy men or vehicles and they just sit there and do NOTHING......
Wish BIS or someone would fix this as two game modes have died on their arse.
small battles are ok and small MP missions, but for a good game you cant beat warfare, from Arma 1 through to Arma OA it have just got better, Now its Dead with the release of the 160 patch, my advice someone FIX THIS, or if you want to play warfare reinstall your game up to 1.57patch and no futher and warfare and big battles work.
@Alex72...I have to agree with you about reporting things to DevHeaven but I disagree with you about Karl giving his honest experienced opinion about the update.
Us "old dogs" will read reports like this and if the reports are overwhelming with the "bad" of the update, then that alone is enough for me to decide not to download and wait.
As you know, once you download and update, you cannot rollback if it turns out to be a rotten tomato. Re-installing just simply sucks.
His comments are directed at the update, not BIS itself as well as a desire for them to fix this particular AI problem.
Beta patches you just delete. No need for unistallation so no biggie testing them out.
Cool different patch same bugs, still suffering from retarded ai after a few mins especialy tank vs tank scenarios. Warfare still pointless as any other big game mode, yes ive tried devheaven but cant post my bug on there for some reason and its not exactly a user freindly site. Had this prob fom 1.60 - to beta 95777
Does anybody play warfare anymore? does anybody wander why this game has become so easy like shooting fish in a barrel? i'm tired of bitching but ive lost a lot of money on this game (Arma 2 - arowhead and all official dlc) and dont feel like moving onto battlefield or modern warfare until i reach a higher level of senility.
I agree with Karl. I have noticed too how the ai will stop engaging each other to the point where they are side by side in the same town ignoring each other. I hope this gets fixed soon.
Please..refresh the info so we know if it's BattleEye supported or not..
Number should be 98046.Spike out.
Anyone having periodic freezing and game slowdowns with 98220 or other betas should delete their username.ArmA2OAProfile and username.vars.ArmA2OAProfile under Documents/Arma2 Other Profiles/username. Works for me - there seems to be some problem with betas and updates and these files. Restarting the game will automatically create new files, you will have to redo your control settings unfortunately. Also update your chipset drivers - fixed some other performance problems for me:

I got problem with screen what comes when you press esc key it show none only frames and onlycontinue sign is there, so when i want to go editor or something i must control+alt+delete every time and it is so annoying. Does anybody else got same problem?
I wish they would release the full patch already...
tried the new beta 5 mins of online game play and game just shut off no error messages like it normally does any 1 seem to get this too.
