Beta Patch 92612 fix direct chat !!

[Wüstenfuchs (DayZ) 105]

Beta Patch 92612 does not fix direct comms fully, so even if you use it you can't rely on thinking that strangers will hear you over direct channel.

If you only use it with your friends, there is a method we found that works for about 90% of the time. When you are all close to each other, go to lobby and respawn. After spawning near each other, the direct comms should work. There are still some people who can't hear direct (or be heard over direct) at all no matter what you do.

Is there a way to continue launching the game through Steam's Combined Ops launch method? I.e. use the launch options menu to set parameters to make it launch in beta similar to how Steam users use DayZ; -mod=@dayz'?

The batch files are also used by steam to launch combined operations. Try this:

• In steam' date=' clear your launch options entirely for both arma 2 and operation arrowhead, these will get added on to the batch files and will fuck things up due to peculiarities with arma and the beta patches.
  [*']Go to your operation arrowhead folder and back up your _runA2CO.cmd (note: not _beta.cmd) file, then open it in notepad.
  
• Near the bottom is a line that says :runs. Modify the line below it to the following:

"%_STEAMPATH%\steam.exe" -applaunch 33930 "-nosplash" "-skipintro" "-window" "-beta=%_ARMA2PATH%;EXPANSION;ca;Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion;@DayZ"

• Launch combined operations in steam, and report back. This is the method I use and it works fine.

Note: Do not add -mod= after the -beta=, and do not add it to your launch options. The client will have issues if you do. You may remove -window if you prefer full screen.
