We would also like to thank
Lightninguk,
Jack Goodburn,
placebo,
camelfight,
ghost and
Armatec for getting in touch with us about the patch news!
Don't forget that AI Vehicle Behaviour is still dependant upon the combat mode of the AI/waypoint. Only CARELESS, SAFE and possibly AWARE follow roads, anything higher and they'll take the most direct route.
One of the highlights was "* Improved AI driving skills", yet when I made my mission earlier, I set up an ambush, and waited 10 minutes to find the convoy driving straight through a field half a kilometer to the north of the road...
Thanks BIS, this was great stuff indeed. Finally I can let my GPU work as intended with FSAA enabled :yes Supersmooth edges and increased FPS. No more fillrate hassle. Much appreciated!
And also thanks for improving the car handling ;-)
arma 2 rocks yea but why are the cars so slow off road this is some thing that buged me alot in arma 1 come on bis i will even give you the lines of code that is needed to make cars fasr off road
maxSpeed=300;
acceleration = 150;
terrainCoef = .0
come on bis i can run faster than the cars that are off road????????
pls fix this allmost make driving pointless in this game and because you find your selff driving alot in this game i think you shuld be able to go faster off road.
dont let bugs from arma 1 in to arma 2.
the problem im having is when i click mp, and the server list comes up , as soon as i click a server all the buttons at the bottom of the screen get disabled... thus i cant join any multiplayer games... posted a thread in the bi forums and only one other person so far is having the same issue... anyone else getting this here at armaholic????
Anyone else getting this problem when enabling it?

ok cheers sparks
Dont forget this patch enables FSAA! But to use it you have to edit the ARMA2.cfg
FSAA=0 (off)
FSAA=1 (low)
FSAA=2 (med)
FSAA=3 (high)
etc
I would test med - high and see how the game runs. My friend uses "high" now and the game looks awesome with no jaggies and not much FPS drop. This is highly different on system to system though.

Yes you do Sashfield.
So will we need this patch for the recently released English version of the game?
