compass is big, but numbers are still small :(

 

also, new inventory system (putting melee or weapons in your backpack and bringing it out is a little strange)...

At the top it says:

 

USE THIS ARMA 2 OA BETA: 103718

 

Then later it says:

 

* [Prerequisites] - beta-patch (http://www.arma2.com...uild_103419.zip)

 

So which beta patch is it?

Also, I'm already using a more recent beta version than those two. I'm guessing that's ok or should I downgrade to avoid conflicts?

 

ive had most servers ask for *19 but *18 worked fine for me too

 

good question tho

This patch looks amazing!!! Unfortunately the server i play on wont be updating soon.

Really looks like one of the greatest patches that combats hacking and duping which ruins the game :/

So far enjoying it, love the new look of the interface and inventory. Love the spawn selection as well!

Just did a run through of Cherno, noticed a lot of new items I hadn't seen before like antibacterial wipes and a bunch of a new types of food and drink. Noticed much less weapon and ammo spawns though too. Yet to be infected. So far so good!
