Hotfix Build 1.7.2.5 Rolling Update

[hombrecz 832]

While messing with Arma 2 I managed to fk it up so much, that it no longer recognise PMC and BAF DLC's (I've bought them) but shows only LITE version with blurry textures.

Oh well thats what you get for moving Steam folder to different disc!

Anyway before it messed up I managed to find, that glitches were a less drastical for me.

I still had them,but flushing was helping somehow and most glitches I had were I think from barbed wire that was half stuck in ground (like on stairs to market in Elektro or such).

So maybe we are slowly getting to stage when glitches will be squashed to the ground.

[fish911503 136]

wrong.

I'm not going to start it with you again, but read back exactly what i said before, its still relevant.

You think you're helping, but you cant keep your asshole side from oozing through, "help" with more Tact next time.

Took your advice and read back exactly what you said. Very Kind, helpful and tactful.

Yay another complete Rocket failure! ...Thanks for Beta testing your patch again with the (S)ame 50 or so carbon copied computers to really test the various different environments the patches run on.

rocket hasn't learned from his past mistake(s), I fear his standalone will not be any better

I don't understand why he doesn't use this vast community for the betterment of the mod, im sure hundreds would be willing to help beta test new patches for him any time of day!

...its probably time for a break given rocket cant clean up his own graphical glitch mess.

Wow I haven't seen this much snap homo fan boi defense in a long time

Fact one, Rocket broke the game when he introduced the graphical glitch, fact two Rocket was unable to fix the problem over the course of two weeks.

Rocket stated when he first released the broken patch that it was tested on no more than 50 machines, meaning Rocket is putting his patches through some Q/A before release into his Alpha Mod

This should be a good thing, but it's now proven that his methods are incredibly lacking

If you took your head out of Rockets ass for one second you would see that he is doing more harm than good, and he needs to take more people from the community in for patch Q/A testing before release

You say we are testing the patch, and that's true, but we are also testing to see if Rocket is competent enough to take this game to the next step (standalone) and he has shown a "million" Players as you say, that he can't fix his own mistakes.

Sure ammo got fixed, but the one bug that has been making areas unplayable remains, when it was his goal to fix it before the weekend.

:) Bye Bye

Just out of curiosity....is you 3d and display resolution settings in game set to match the display resolution in you video card settings.(nvidia control panel)

[xNeRo 4]

Thanks for the torrent file... I can finally start playing 1.7.2.5!

mine are, and I still get artifacts

it just gets to the point where I have to point out that you should not be getting artifacts, regardless of your settings. it needs to be 'fixed', and not just avoided by some 'work-around'

[jetao2008@hotmail.com 175]

-open the new backpack

-put everything from your current backpack in the new backpack

-then pick up the new backpack

Dude, this isn't a fix.

The problem is still there, and in my case this wouldn't solve anything since the new backpack was inside a tent.

I wouldn't be able to open it while inside the tent, as far as i know.

I know you're intention was good when you made the post, but we don't need more workarounds regarding this issue, we need a real fix!

But thanks, anyway.

Problem is with 1.7.2.5, still I get texture glitch 60% of the time I "flush".

And some servers I can't join, says bad version or so.. With patch and I got leatest one.

But being aware of what settings people are using COULD help to isolate where problem is.

And to boot....It's difficult to make a game run smoothly on 1,000,000 different hardware configs.

Sometimes for me in the past slight optimizations on my end were necessary to run certain games.

Things like disabling a processor core or one of my video cards.

There's nothing wrong with collecting as much information as possible about peoples set ups and settings. In fact it helps.

Just because it doesn't help you doesn't mean it shouldn't be posted.

Fixing it for you might break it for someone else...this is why information is needed. The goal is to have it as optimized as possible.

And in the end...some people might have to employ work-arounds or tweaks to enjoy the game.

it's a problem when you drop anything

with the tent you have to put everything from your current backpack in the tent, or on the ground first

I understand and agree these issues need to be fixed, but there are ways to avoid them if you do things a certain way

[ACOGshot 38]

Rocket seems quiet. Hope in this case that no news is good news and that he's formulating something to fix this problem we are having. I like the new features but would much rather see the more exciting areas of the map become playable for everyone again. I am still getting major tearing at military outposts, literally the only places I am going lately is Elektro & the NE airfield.

it's just that we pretty much beat that horse to death when the artifacts first popped up with .4

[puppetmaster11 229]

Rocket are you alive ?

[fish911503 136]

Maybe so....but your saying if someone found a workaround that worked for you...and got rid of the glitches so you could play freely, you wouldn't want to know about it? I think you would.

Plus four posts up you say

So what what up?

In my last session, I encountered EXTREME graphical glitches in Berezino.

They were rather severe at the southern hospital and at the military tents, but visible throughout the whole town.

Brownish and white rectangles filling the scene depending on the direction I'm looking.

Managed to get through, but it wasn't pretty.

(I did update ALL the mod files and didn't have these issues a month ago.)

Besides that, keep up the good work!

[white 44]

havent had any more glitches, i always use the latest update on latest servers (as rare as they are).

default memory, everything else maxed out, frames ahead on 0 and custom fov.

i turned on afterburner osd to know how much of the videocard ram the game uses, and noticed that the game starts by using around 650mb and keeps rising (takes some time) till it reaches around 1800mb, and then the fps starts to drop (my card has 2gb)

yes, but it's been clearly established that these 'fixes' don't work for everyone. it's just frustrating dealing with this for weeks and then someone says, "oh, you just have to switch your vid memory to default". like I said, we've beaten this horse to death

not saying any of this is you personally, but there's been a lot of condescending crap coming from people that are lucky enough to be able to work around the issue. there's also been some wacky 'fixes' suggested that I'm sure has caused people to waste time doing things like reformatting their HDD and re-installing their OS (sounds crazy, but I'm sure someone has done it)

Plus four posts up you say

So what what up?

I had the feeling someone would try to use that against me. that's why I first said "I... agree these issues need to be fixed". also in that case the 'work around' actually works. and it has to do with the mechanics of the game, not with settings

[nethstar 4]

Rocket's too busy at Gamescom, asking people to give him beans.

[fish911503 136]

Ok fair enough. Now all that aside...have you tried setting your video memory to default :P

does that statement have anything to do with the 1.7.2.5 update?

[sivart 85]

Fuck you its much easier to use the launcher, not as many bugs........

no, fuck your face. there are no bugs doing it manual. there is much more potential for bugs by letting some crappy program do the same thing you would do yourself.

the point is, its how you roll back. rocket doesnt have to pull anything, you just reinsert the previous files into a folder and hope there is still a server.

This Hotfix was a mistake. Too many morons think it's the actual patch and won't stop whining about the issues. Not to mention none of the issues mentioned as "Fixed" were actually fixed...
