THATS WHAT MAKES NO SENCE TO ME

[obsidian agate]

AND DO YOU HAVE TO SHOUT TO MAKE IT MAKE SENSE

[tough stratus]

all im asking is for some one to explain it to me in a call so i understand

[ember bay]

What is it that you don't understand from the guide? It goes step by step

Anybody in a call would tell you exactly what it says so if you require someone speaking then paste the text into some text to speech app

Maybe this helps (despite the title it is not Epoch specific): https://youtu.be/xyzfCKzt6rw

[warm ermine]

@molten heron BIS plan to port EUTW to Reforger or A4?

[raw fractal]

EUTW for those who don’t know?

[warm ermine]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj6lR2HkpFA

btw best PvP mod/map on A3

[mighty yew]

You mean Altis lol? EUTW map... Anyway, answer is almost certainly no, but anyone else can when the ARMA 3 Samples release I assume

[warm ermine]

I dont see u on any EUTW servers 🤔

They have 4

[mighty yew]

Video showed them on Altis...

[tough stratus]

with step 6 do i move the whole 7-zip folder the my common folder?

got arrow head to work how do i get the dayz mod to work

[scenic laurel]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3573673194

it is better to play Dayz standalone tho https://store.steampowered.com/app/221100/DayZ/

[tough stratus]

yeh ofc

but its where it all started

[modern basalt]

Founded in 2013, EUTW is an international gaming community with a specific focus on Arma 3.
Porting of community-developed game mode/mission/whatever can/should be done by said community, most likely 🤷‍♂️

[mighty yew]

It isn't lol

[scenic laurel]

Isn't Dayz standalone more advanced and supported by the community?

[mighty yew]

It's newer and prettier, and has some features ARMA 2 lacks, but I would argue that ARMA 2 DayZ/Epoch has more features, more playability and it is still supported and updated by the community... And ofc, has all the assets and systems provided by ARMA 2 which DZSA doesn't (meaning modders have to add them in the latter, which is always suboptimal)

[dire zinc]

wow what a pain to try and get a2 a2ao and a2 dayzmod all to load 😐

[mighty yew]

Apart from just getting A2OA set up right, most use DZLauncher to handle mods tbh

[dire zinc]

will it do the vanilla dayz mod through the launcher ok ? it didnt work though steam after doing the fix

but epoch genesis worked ok

[mighty yew]

It will do the vanilla mod yeah

[ocean pollen]

How many people are still playing A2 dayz?

[mighty yew]

Not many, but most active servers are vanilla DayZ, Epoch or Origins

[dull kayak]

Anyone know how to fix this missing downloadable content on arma 2, I can get the game running just can’t join any server

[molten heron]

Arma 2 has no DLC, you mean Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead ? , you trying to get DayZ mod running ?

[woven solstice]

Anyone knows if the GOG release of Arma 2 combined operations is up to date and has all the available content?

Ohhh wait, my mistake... it is not on GOG

[dreamy vigil]

Well....

[woven solstice]

It was on GOG but was later removed, nothing to see here.
I hope that if A3 is ever released on GOG, A2 also makes a glorious comeback

[dreamy vigil]

Well................

[dull kayak]

Yeah I was trying to get the mod working, I got it figured out, I was missing one of the launchers to download the mods, completely forgot about that, thank you for reaching out to help

[ocean pollen]

Insane that it’s still going though. Like many, my first Arma experience was vanilla dayz

[wind patio]

https://i.imgur.com/viRblvt.png

anyone else still getting this after applying the fix?

[muted hawk]

stop using Windows 11, it's complete trash made by the micro softs / micro slops.

[fickle summit]

Given how firmly A3 is integrated with the Steam Workshop, the chances of seeing it on GOG are pretty slim imho...
Arma 2 on the other hand, I see no reason (outside of Bohemia´s stubborn unwillingness) for it to not make a comeback. (go vote for it on the GOG Dreamlist if you haven´t yet!)

[woven solstice]

Voted!
Arma 3 will also fit but as complete edition that includes all content. That way mods become less relevant since with the CDLCs included you already get most of what content mods give you already

[ornate dagger]

someone play dayz mod?

how can i find serv dayz mod?

[wheat star]

Dzlauncher

[sonic raft]

did that. didnt work

Thank you!

[wraith drift]

Is there one of these for Arma 2?
I'm trying to play Arma 2 DayZ Epoch

Wait my bad, the server is OA, thanks!

[mighty yew]

DayZ and all dependent mods require A2OA...

[spare pendant]

Hi all! I made Osmia, modern hiveext replacement for arma 2 oa. game logic and sql queries in lua scripts, odbc support (postgresql, mysql, mariadb and others). would be happy if you test it and especially to hear your feedback

GitHub: https://github.com/Dahus/Osmia

[misty ore]

Ah man… Epoch was a blast but it’s been years since I played

[sudden tartan]

are there still some arma 2 dayz/epoch servers up?

[mighty yew]

Yes. Epoch especially has some of the most populated servers. Second would be Origins

Also work has now begun on DayZ/Epoch 1.8.x

Feel free to join our discord ofc: https://discord.gg/0k4ynDDCsnMzkxk7

[mighty yew]

Yep, and this year I should be releasing a derived Epoch mod integrating the DayZ Mod LDP and ACE3 (among other things)

[dreamy vigil]

neat

[foggy canyon]

hey man can you elaborate a bit more on who is this for and what it does exactly? I'm having a hard time understanding it except that it might be useful for server admins

[wicked sinew]

i just bought arma 2, some advices??

[weary stirrup]

Arma 2 only or also Operation Arrowhead?

[wicked sinew]

Operation Arrowhead

[weary stirrup]

So you have both games?

[wicked sinew]

well i bought a key

on steam

so i think yes

[weary stirrup]

I mean that did you buy both Arma 2 and Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead? They're separate games, but their content can be linked together (and that's called Arma 2: Combined Operations)

[wicked sinew]

Oh okey

lemme see

[wicked sinew]

just arrowhead

[weary stirrup]

Ok. I guess you can play on some servers, but I believe that the vast majority of the servers require both Arma 2 and Operation Arrowhead. You can wait for a sale if you want, they happen quite often

[river scaffold]

I get no servers listed in browser A2CO + DLC happened before with last beta and now. In fact if I switch to no beta at all I get pretty much the same.

[heady hollow]

@short hearth @strange nexus Someone said it was an aspect-ratio option for CWC/CWA

[strange nexus]

👍🏻

[visual coral]

Anybody else encountered a glitch with black screen blinking every 1-3 seconds after game is loaded?

[strange nexus]

CWA?

[visual coral]

not sure what CWA stands for, but yeah, cold war crisis

oh, cold war assault. yeah - steam version

after the game loads, it behaves as if loading screen was still in memory, and it blink once few seconds. all the time - no alt-tabbing, no resizing and reloading helps

[strange nexus]

Did you happen to use autodetect the first time you ran it?

I had a similar problem, but in the end CWA(OFP) locked up. I found the below trick worked for me and I've had no problems since. Is there a better solution, Probably, but its worked for me so far.

Run the ColdWarAssaultPreferences.exe again:

Under Advanced set your 3D Geometry to 2900, it'll probably be something like >= 10,850.
Set Total Memory to 2000 MB, and texture and file heaps to 16 MB each.

Under the Details Tab:
Set Max. objects: 256.
Set Objects LOD and Shadows LOD to 0.010 each.

Do not click AutoDetect again after performing the above.

Then
Go into: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\ARMA Cold War Assault\Users<<your user name here>>"

And delete "UserInfo.cfg"...

[velvet sigil]

does anyone have archive of old arma2 linux server binaries? (bis wiki page is not complete). specifically I'm looking for beta patch v1.62.103718

[dusky birch]

The tarball doesn't seem to be hosted officially.

[upper cipher]

indeed

so its not the version right before the steam version came out right?

its older?

[velvet sigil]

no, there was few others before v1.63 came about.

[upper cipher]

Yes but is 103718 the latest version before it was moved to steam?

[velvet sigil]

hmm or was there, hmm wait a sec...

[upper cipher]

I appears to be newer than all versions on the wiki for 1.62

[velvet sigil]

my archive has only the a2oa-server-1.62.102451.tar.bz2 which is the same as in bis wiki download. so dunno if v1.63 steam was the next version (after 103718).

okay so here is ONE v1.63 patch listed:

@molten heron thankyou.

Arma, one of the shitties games

Arma 2, decent

Arma 3, hellaalallaa good

Is that how it is @molten heron?

[kind wolf]

How is ArmA 2 just "decent"? Even at its current state it's still better than most other (& newer) military games.

[visual coral]

and tbf Armed Assault > Arma 3 at release

(bah, flashpoint was less annaying than A3 at release 😄 )

[kind wolf]

But honestly what about DayZ Standalone? Feels like a forgotten project never comming out of Alpha 😦

[strange nexus]

I am quite fond of Arma (1)

[short hearth]

@kind wolf DayZ was released so early in early access, so that's why it takes time. The engine is still far from ready. Most early access or alpha games already have the engine in close to ready state. Arma 3 was more like a beta when it was released to early access and DayZ was pre-alpha.

[visual coral]

unfortunately, by the time DayZ is released, DayZ-clones that already stole it's market will already have their own clones that will outsell them*

• I don't really know much about this kind of games, but I do hear about dayZ-like games, and never about dayZ

[short hearth]

nobody cares about outselling. cod and bf outsells everything and there are still much better games that people play

[molten heron]

most of the clones died 😉 those which survive became good games on it's own and not clones anymore 😉

[long warren]

Hmm

I play 7 days to die, kinda similar I believe?

[visual coral]

AGS? Are you thinking of porting OFP maps to A2?

[velvet sigil]

hum kind of difficult question, I have ported several OFP terrains.

but if you mean official bis terrains then no, they are included in superb quality in Cold War Rearmed2 (CWR2) mod already.

[visual coral]

I mean OFP terrains using Agent Smith's stuff

[velvet sigil]

-FM-: damn sorry I missed your question completely. umm dunno, I've still been on the arma2 mood but obviously arma3 is "the thing" nowadays.

you could say that I have still few loose ends to tie before I can move to arma3. although I have been playing arma3 more than arma2 lately so heh dunno.

its not all up to me, arma3 steam tools wont work having arma2 v2.5.1 tools installed, at least this was the case back in the arma3 alpha era.

[strange nexus]

It would be nice to see you and your stuff make the leap. The new generation could learn a thing or two from the "old guard".

[velvet sigil]

some might argue that there is no point of porting low res stuff to arma3 and while I was strongly against this attitude in arma1 and somewhat bothered me in arma2... I tend to agree on arma3 😃

VTE ArmA 3 Preview that I did was, well dunno, okay I guess. but that was the arma3 editing early days.

[strange nexus]

I still believe it's more about proper storylines and objects that help believability than pretty graphics.

[river scaffold]

first there is OA dedicated server package in Steam tools library
second, make sure the server runs without mods first, then add mods one by one and see where problem might be

third, dont add visual effect and sound mods to a dedicated server

they shold not run on a server there is not need for them there at all

network config might need adjusting

why are you playing with sockets? my bad arma duh

why do you have HC defined there do you use headless clients?

remove mission rotation from server.cfg

I would also stay away from beta

oh and if running mods always load CBA first

I see that you use CBA_CO, do you have combined operations at all? Arma2+OA+DLC?

[molten heron]

@river scaffold ... 1400 is default 😉 please look at BIKI

@river scaffold Thanks for the link. I tried it and it throws me out just like with newest version (almost instant "Session lost" message when joining the server).

[velvet sigil]

played some arma2 today, 4k resolution and nvidia drivers (gtx titan x, the 2015 model), when FPS goes above 200 ... something happens, vsync is off so it looks like huge flickering or vsync tearing problem. I guess something just goes nuts on the GPU drivers with such framerates or something. it happens when you look at the ground or sky, however the transition area is so large that I can often times get that crazy flicker on normal "view angles" so it effects gameplay. gotta try to tweak some stuff to get rid of it.

last year I played a lot and never saw that, it must be some new nvidia driver thing.

[swift hare]

if i remember correctly that SLI flickering was always a issue in arma 2 and 3

[velvet sigil]

you mean I get SLI flickering with single card?

[swift hare]

well not sure but i remember hearing issues about it

[forest onyx]

I didn't have any issues with a pair of 970's in Arma 3. I had flickering in Shadowplay sometimes but never in game.

[strange nexus]

I had a pair of 240's ,no issues

[velvet sigil]

I was talking about arma2 hence this channel.

[strange nexus]

Even when I switched to A3, I still had no issues.

That was the nice thing about the previous Arma titles, as long as you had anything above a "low spec" PC, the game played fine.

[velvet sigil]

real first world problem; 4k res fps above 200 😉

[strange nexus]

lol

I'll probably wait a year or so before i make that move.

[velvet sigil]

obviously that wont happen even with VTE very often and on normal heavy mission usage. but yeah there are parts where you dont have to even look very far up/down when it does.

also issue is fixed if I turn on vsync so... just thought to throw that here if by any chance anyone else has seen in.

any tips to get mouse working in Arma:CWA / OFP? for me it's jittery, doesn't response on small movements and so on. browsing menu is just a pure luck to get the cursor on right place and aiming is almost the same

oh hmm my dpi is 2000. I remembered that it was at the minimum but the minimum is 200. need to test that

[short hearth]

ok the main problem seemed to be mouse refresh rate that was too high for the game and I also lowered the dpi

[velvet sigil]

if you find a solution, please tell us. I'm having a same problem.

[short hearth]

worked ok after those

need to have some sensitivity in the settings

[velvet sigil]

I got the aspect ratio addon which fixes how weird it looks, but mouse is still remaining issue for me to never actually play OFP.

okay thanks will test that.

dpi 2000 -> 200 and mouse refresh rate 1000 -> 125 helped me

[velvet sigil]

and VTE v1.6 RC 1 is out.

maybe few more tweaks and sort of enjoying the last days of arma2 editing before the final v1.6 release is upon us (and our last arma2 release, snif).

[velvet sigil]

found a reason why I got 4k fps above 200... my 3d resolution was 1080p 😮

no idea how and more importantly when it switched to that... I'd hate to think I've been playing using that config since I upgraded to 4k.

I reinstalled arma2 back in, well some time ago already but havent been playing much since, so dunno maybe it went on that install, just dont know.

although I watched some "4k" video of mine from summer of 2015 and at least in youtube it looks as crappy 1080p, but dunno if its because of the video youtube encode or whatnot.

funny though that last few days when I did VTE testing I was thinking that "damn VTE looks dated..." well DOH it looks dated because youre looking at 1080 res haha. I almost fell out of my chair when I switched 3d res to real 4k now 😉

[pastel compass]

omg dude

im so autistic

sorry

ive just noticed theres a shortcut for starting the beta itself

after ive installed it.

Now it doesnt give me the error anymore

ive still gotta install ACE though

Will Ace work with scenarios which are in arma 2 btw?

[opaque thistle]

Oh, so CBA works now without error?

[pastel compass]

Like the freedom fighters one?

Yes

so you helped me i guess xd

[opaque thistle]

I have no idea. I only play multiplayer, and did so even back in A2

[pastel compass]

how do i install ACE 2 AO?

it doesnt have that @ thing which CBA Does

[opaque thistle]

open the folder

It's probably inside

[pastel compass]

theres just store.

addons

[opaque thistle]

The links to the old guides are dead.

[pastel compass]

clippi

ace.io.

ico*

[opaque thistle]

Then the folder is correct. It has to be a folder containing the addons folder

[pastel compass]

in the addons folder theres only a bunch of PBO and BSIGN files.

[opaque thistle]

Yes, that is correct too

[pastel compass]

Do i put these somewhere?

Or can i just create a folder named @austere atlas And put in the arma Directory

[opaque thistle]

You leave them in the addons folder

You move the folder that contains the addons folder into the main folder of A2

[pastel compass]

https://gyazo.com/a41c96b19ec34fb1d80770c476e02b0d

Excract this with winrar and move it to main folder?

[opaque thistle]

No, you move the folder that contains all this into the A2 folder

[pastel compass]

oh

[opaque thistle]

I hope you did the same for CBA, or it will be a hassle to redo the damage 😛

[pastel compass]

oh dear god

include file usercongig error

dw ive got that one

Were do i move these mission files?

of ACE.

[opaque thistle]

what mission files?

[pastel compass]

probly tutorials which i will need.

theres a missions.tar

In the stores folder.

[opaque thistle]

Idk

[pastel compass]

btw

ive had a very weird glitch

while playing scenarios

while i wasnt using any mods

AI Basiclly didnt do anything.

BTR's did not shoot me.

But they were aiming at me

Have you ever had anything like that happen to you?

[opaque thistle]

No

[pastel compass]

strange then

Ive searched up on google but didnt found anything

Is arma 3 Worth it?

[opaque thistle]

Sure

Arma is pointless in single player and I think most people moved over.

[pastel compass]

idk

i like messing around in single player.

is there any better mods then this 😛 http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=25551

So ive enabled both ACE And CBA

No errors

So far.

Gonna test it later on

So thx alot lad xD

[opaque thistle]

there is ACE 3 for A3 and I'd say that is better than the A2 counterpart.

[pastel compass]

what happened to Dev heaven?

[fervent verge]

I still play A2OA occasionally, and I can definitely appreciate that update for sure. lol. I rarely find servers that aren't dayz anymore though 😦

There was a domination server I played on a few years ago, and it seems like it shut down

A2OA may be the most stable arma game tbh

[velvet sigil]

this is so odd to see huge amount of patch releases now when I have moved to arma3 already and I thought I was the last stubborn sad soul editing it just for the principle heh. I wish we had these releases back then.

is this kind of like an hobby for some bis coder, or is this actually planned all along to finish the "EOL" thing with proper release?

[molten heron]

it's the curse of Dwarden's skeleton haunting random programmer ghosts

[trim steeple]

I actually only just moved to a3 I was doing all my stuff in oa

Most stable + most content

For editors at least

[molten heron]

if nothing broken, 1.64.144198 and onward is 'the most stable' 😀

[eternal wadi]

The most STAPLE pew pew pew...

Man... Bad joke... Sorry.

[velvet sigil]

what is this stable talk, do you get like CTD's with arma3 often? I havent gotten crashes on any bis game so far (on normal usage, obviously).

[eternal wadi]

Normal usage is relative :D
3fps bug to name one bigger issue.

Maybe stable aka not getting many changes 😄

[velvet sigil]

heh yeah maybe that

although I do remember the arma2oabeta times, using who was that guys beta news tool and downloading those patches, ahh those were the days, no steam crap etc. Mmm...

[molten heron]

@eternal wadi ofc the most stable A2OA to date

[velvet sigil]

A3 crash 🐛 are subject of ongoing slaughter

[visual coral]

[visual coral]

oh, coma isn't a stable condition - you can either wake up or die, which would change your condition considerably 😄

now being dead...

[trim steeple]

I meant stable in terms of having core systems uprooted and breaking everything

Which a3 still does although not so much anymore

[molten heron]

well now need feedback on that A2OA build

[rotund dragon]

its when someone thinks Arma 2 is better than Arma 3 but dont realise Takistan in A3 > than A1 +A2 and that doesnt make A3 but A2.5

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmCrwn4WDp4&t

best just advance than traverse 😉

there maybe a little sarcasm in this post

[molten heron]

well, while i do hope 1.64 will be really enjoyable closure type of patch

if someone want those new scripting commands, new alternate syntaxes, even better security and visuals then Arma 3 is logical way to go

next to hardware issues i can't figure out how A3+CUP+other mods can't match A2OA+mods offering ...

[rotund dragon]

A2 will never die it has too much community addons , i dont A3 will ever match it

[molten heron]

right but that is just argument of , the A2/A2O mod-content not being forward ported or remade from scratch for A3

[rotund dragon]

i currently have A20A SA and for me its probably best value for money of all series beyond oFP

[molten heron]

engine wise, A3 offers what A2OA lacks with near 1:1 compatibility for the A2OA content (if refurbished in way la CUP)

[rotund dragon]

i think a very good Battke royale on A2OA would make this what you are doing here a very big sucess too

CUP is a monster in size i think a Takistan SA for A3 is much better way to go

[molten heron]

i use CUP in terms of near whole A2OA content under A3 , as example

cause otherwise it will be like bu A2OA has what A3 hasn't, but nope, it does, with A3 CUP 🤣

[rotund dragon]

well CUP is a great initiative but for me as individual Stand alone Takistan is more managable

@warm ermine make sure you got updated both A2 and A2OA and make sure you ran A2 once before running A2OA binary

[warm ermine]

rgr ...I'm reinstalling game atm

[native yew]

is 1.64 in beta? do i need to update server to 1.64? many players have trouble to join my server

[molten heron]

@native yew yes atm. the 1.64 is only in beta branch, when all goes fine then sometime soon it will end in stable branch too

i would suggest to move on the 1.64 because it's much better than near obsolete 1.63

[native yew]

how do i update server to 1.64? i tried press steamupdate on sever controlpanel but server is still 1.63

have u any sugestion why some people have trouble to join my server? we used have 40 players online, now we have 15players. many complain that they cant join

[molten heron]

make sure they got properly updated Arma 2 data (stable or beta, are same) and also Arma 2 OA data (beta branch atm.)

w/o testing it in public beta we can't move onward to finish this 1.64 EOL patch

@native yew make sure you got selected the beta branch on the A2OA dedicated server depot in tools section

[native yew]

so 1.63 is the problem why players who have played on my server cant join now?

[molten heron]

any errors in client / server RPT ?

also, in terms of can't join, does it mean they can't see the server or actually it toss them timeout when they see the server or other error ?

need more details

[rotund dragon]

how do we get steam to update OA if we bought OA through BIS store ?

[molten heron]

just register it on steam and update via steam, that was declared long time ago when the gamespy went down

if you don't want use STEAM or can't then it's like any other legacy unsupported end of life version

[rotund dragon]

i have added the exe to my library but is there another option ?

NVM i see it cheers

[molten heron]

@rotund dragon i mean register it's key into STEAM library of games and downloads / install are handled by steam client

not just run-thru

[rotund dragon]

yeah i got it

its done now two entry one normal one beta (obsolete)

[molten heron]

and same applies to A2 for the new data (tho A2 isn't MP supported)

[rotund dragon]

is best to have test option in beta updates or latest Number ?

[molten heron]

ye atm. it's bit of confusing but to e.g. figure out those 'server' visibility problems it's only in A2OA beta

[rotund dragon]

to get last iteation choose test

[molten heron]

beta is last, ignore test

[rotund dragon]

Im SP only never played MP since OFP 😃

[molten heron]

nah just trying to avoid random complaint about A2 mp not working thru STEAM or so

@native yew can you give me IP of server running 1.64 not showing up for 1.64 client ?

[rotund dragon]

i dont have A2 install no more only A"OA and A3 and OFP and DayZ and of course Ylands because it has a horse 😃

[warm ermine]

@molten heron No script error after reinstall.

[native yew]

My server isnt running 1.64 its 1.63

109.70.149.152:2500

[molten heron]

well 1.63 server of course isn't visible to 1.64 clients (major branches are incompatible)

[native yew]

it is visible, i see players trying to join

but they disconnnect after 1-2 seconds

[molten heron]

those aren't 1.64 clients, must be 1.63 only

[native yew]

but this is players who have played on my server for weeks

[molten heron]

1.63 server accepts only 1.63 clients and same 1.64 server accepts only 1.64 clients

[native yew]

my steam updated arma yesterday and i can join server

same with my friends

[molten heron]

then you don't have 1.64.beta

[native yew]

isnt that auto update from steam or not?

[molten heron]

there was no autoupdate to non-beta A2OA

[native yew]

hmm, seems wierd that 50% of my players cant connect

how can i update my server to 1.64?

[molten heron]

stay on 1.63, still some problems to resolve (most worrysome are reports of admins claiming theirs 1.64 servers aren't visible)

will see in morning

callExtension support on Linux 😮 Doing gods work you guys

[agile orbit]

OMG 👏 my respect to @molten heron add devs! Where A2OA 1.64.144373 linux dedicated server can be downloaded from?

[molten heron]

@agile orbit see the first post on the forum thread, it has download urls

[agile orbit]

Thanks, my fault - found it 🙂

[lost rover]

there are no install info so I assume I just overwrite everything with those folders/files? Would that mean I have to reinstall the game to revert back?

(or just verify game files again?)

[vapid turret]

I hope you accept my feedback on forums.bohemia.net about linux server (stuck at loading mission). I'm waiting for a fix to continue...

[molten heron]

@vapid turret what mission, any default (from A2/A2OA by us) ?

[molten heron]

@vapid turret i got suggestion, try place new /battleye/beserver.so into /expansion/battleye/beserver.so (but afaik the old path isn't used anymore)

[vapid turret]

This is DayZ mod: mpmissions/dayz_1.chernarus.pbo

I put beserver.so at all places: battleye and expansion/battleye/ - no result.

I have no problems with launching 1.63.126652 linux server. I just replaced binaries and libraries.

And I expected that everything will be launched with the new version.

[molten heron]

@vapid turret ok can you try it just with the vanilla A2OA or A2CO(OA+A2 data) (no dayz mod) for the server and join with vanilla client ?

@vapid turret another test, try it with dayz mod but disable battleye server side

[vapid turret]

I disable battleye server side - no result

[vapid turret]

I try with the vanilla A2OA - no result

I noticed that the server does not go to BattlEye GUID verification phase. Maybe there's something wrong with "beserver.so" or "libsteam_api.so" ?

[molten heron]

@vapid turret ok we will look into it, i guess linux server is thus broken, so back to windows

• i need some feedback on that A2OA 1.64.144373 build (not new features requests), anyone tried run Epoch, DayZ mod, Wasteland or similar on it ?

[arctic oxide]

@molten heron dayzmod on my list for this evening. downloading now.

[arctic oxide]

#screenshots_arma looking good!

Arma 2 OA, update 1.64 build 144373, release candidate for EOL (End of Life) + dayzmod vanilla 1.9.0

[molten heron]

hmm, so it's just the servers what is headache

[arctic oxide]

@molten heron deleted my original error posts. Must have been an old log file

I am seeing this at the top of the RPT

other than that, spawned, ran around. drove a veh, crashed a heli, shot some Z, looks ok.

[molten heron]

you have old A2 data @arctic oxide , the corepatch_a2.pbo should be 239 bytes

[vapid turret]

How long to wait for new linux files?

[arctic oxide]

That sounds correct. The server was installed via steamcmd months ago. I'll copy over the files from my client A2 and retest.

[warm ermine]

@molten heron Any progress with "-mod=" parameter bug? https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/213193-arma-2-oa-update-164-build-144373-release-candidate-for-eol-end-of-life/?do=findComment&comment=3273745

[molten heron]

i do not think it's bug, just wrong use of the mod switch

[warm ermine]

Problem is on our side or with beta patch?

Every time when I use -mod para I get CA instead of Arma 2 in Expansion list.

[molten heron]

imho it was the same with 1.63.x and all builds before

the game should use the registry driven mods detection , so question is if the path to A2 data is correct

otherwise you can just mklink /J the /Arma 2/Addons/ into /Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead/Addons/

but that's workaround not proper fix 😁

[vapid turret]

Any progress with linux version?

[molten heron]

you mean the linxu server? nope ... 😦

[vapid turret]

yes, thanks

[molten heron]

will try get some asnwers this week

[vapid turret]

Do you know what environment/host is used for assembly linux binary? Ubuntu or Debian? Versions?

[warm ermine]

"-beta=xxx" do the trick 🙃

[lusty solar]

This is the Arma 2 chat yes?

[eternal wadi]

Yes. As the channel description says

[lusty solar]

What kind of optimizations have there been? Also, will this fix the non stop hackers? Currently, the Anti-Hack is so bad that server owners are hacking other servers to make their own more popular. Also, there are groups of hackers that literally take down entire communities just because they can. Server owners are making deals with groups of hackers, some are just posting it on YouTube because they know nothing will be done.

[molten heron]

see the changelog in the forum thread, it's fixed as much as so old engine as A2OA could be

[lusty solar]

Thank you 😃

[woeful ibex]

hello could anyone help me ?

[obsidian agate]

depends, what's your problem? if it's about #end_of_life_arma yes, else go to #arma3_questions ;-)
shoot!

[woeful ibex]

well the problem is with BattlEye , talking about Arma 2 DayZ Mod , the first time i installed the game i didn't notice anything about the error i'm currently getting
played normally for about 15 hours after i put some mods game started to Fu*k with me i uninstalled everything and re installed the game , i made sure i'd run games ; Arma 2 , then Arma 2 OA , then other expansions and last one DayZ Mode , after i'm joining about 90% of servers i get the error in the chat box >>BattlEye Client: Server Requiring cleint version 1.239, Up-to-date is it possible to fix or its just server runing an outdated Version ? i do can join one server only others kicks me because of same reason and i wnn play other servers too not only one , and other mods too , i uninstalled WithSix and dayz launcher because i tough they are causing the problem but the problem for 1.239 is still there

RUNING A STEAM VERSION OF THE GAME

[strange nexus]

Google has the answers

[woeful ibex]

i tried those no worried 😃 nothing helped me

• manual updater no longer support older versions 😃

[woeful ibex]

@strange nexus could you upload somewhere your battlEye and send a link ? so probably it would fix it 😃

[molten heron]

Wine fix for BattlEye crashes https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Wine-Staging-3.4-Released

[molten heron]

do no panic, A2OA just got data update
\common\modules.pbo
\expansion\addons\corepatch.pbo
so the only difference between 1.63 and 1.64 are ACR lite data and new binaries/libraries

[ornate roost]

Hey, The New Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead Update Messed with my Battle eye and Now it won't launch? Any Suggestions?

[vague orbit]

Same here, the error reads: Failed to read initialization file.

[upbeat flame]

ah ok ye I have the same problem. Was getting curious since its working for some people to get in

I guess they have some server issues then or something

[ornate roost]

Its battle eye just not working so we can't join any servers. You can launch without Battle eye but you cannot do much then. Has anyone found a fix?

[upbeat flame]

cant even launch the game actually.

unless without battleye.
I noticed discord overlay now works in OA

[eternal wadi]

discord overlay probably works because battleye doesn't ^^

[upbeat flame]

would not suprise me if battleye blocks it. Its not the most hard working company in the galaxy :p

[eternal wadi]

@molten heron notifying in case no one did yet ^^

[spark marlin]

thanks ^^

[molten heron]

manual fix : copy content of
\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\Expansion\BattlEye
into
\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\BattlEye\

[charred laurel]

tHX Dwarden

[lusty solar]

1 update in 3 years and it breaks the game

Best meme ever

[molten heron]

blame upcoming W10 update 🤣

[lusty solar]

I blame the government

[charred laurel]

Update for servers ? when ?

[lusty solar]

Thank god I had the game already open and was playing before the update

So I don't have to deal with this

I just get to comment on it

[eternal wadi]

if not today then tomorrow.

[molten heron]

@low vector do as it's above, in root of A2OA directory just copy \expansion\battleye\ into \battleye\

[low vector]

doing that now

worked like a charm thank you, any idea on when fix will be released so folks dont have to copy paste battleye ?

[molten heron]

not tonight, logistical issues, so thru next workday

[peak sail]

DMR with zerioring is in the new update

[molten heron]

ye that's the latest modules.pbo and corepatch.pbo content

that was actually the only stuff supposed to go live today but then someone had the idea add new battleye 😁

what can break right ...

[eternal wadi]

afaik a BE update never broke arma... till today

Achivement get

[molten heron]

it's not fault by BE itself, only new files in old paths (see 1.64 placement to understand)

[low vector]

thanks for info Dwarden

[molten heron]

do not worry, there is more headache on horizon when the 1.64 goes live

i will be very surprised if nothing breaks

[eternal wadi]

Same here with Tanks DLC release ^^

[visual coral]

only thing worse that when code doesn't work and you have no idea why, is when code works and you have no idea why

[molten heron]

there is hotfix cure for all the stable releases

[forest onyx]

I have no idea what you mean, in the second circumstance that is called a good commit. Someone will figure out why it works at some point.

[sturdy python]

That fix isnt working for me, same error.

[ornate roost]

It worked for a while and now my game is constantly crashing?

[sturdy python]

Ive copied the files from D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\Expansion\BattlEye into my battleye folder

same result

would've thought this would have been tested before pushed

but i guess it is arma 2. Bohemia dont care

[lusty solar]

How is it that everytime any bohemia game gets updated, it is always broken the first few times around?

Like you'd think they would have 1 jackass run the damn thing before release

[sturdy python]

Its anytime Arma 2 gets an update. And its because it doesnt make them money

[upbeat flame]

@sturdy python i hope you copied the folder and not only the files :p

[lusty solar]

DayZ SA makes them money

Same shit with that game

[ornate roost]

Any fix to the crashing??

[sturdy python]

Not anymore is doesnt

[lusty solar]

lol yeah they squandered that opportunity

[sturdy python]

@upbeat flame u mean copy the entire expansion folder into the battleye one?

[upbeat flame]

no. copy the battleye folder in to Operation arrowhead folder

[sturdy python]

Are u talking server side or for players?

[upbeat flame]

players

[sturdy python]

im having issues with my server

Is that fix for clients only?

[upbeat flame]

oh i did not know there where servers out there having issues as well due to battleye

the ones I keep track on have been working fine

[sturdy python]

Wow, they expect every player to do that shit?

[upbeat flame]

no.. its a quickfix for now

[sturdy python]

they have to be out of their minds

[lusty solar]

No, they expect every player to get frustrated and buy Arma 3

[sturdy python]

^

I dont understand, do they really not test shit like this

[lusty solar]

^

[sturdy python]

like isnt that an industry standard? to test updates before pushing them?

[lusty solar]

It is broken for everyone

Its not like they could've tested it and not got the problem

It is not only some of the time

It is broken for literally everyone

[sturdy python]

I mean even it was broken

and he fixed it

TODAY it would be fine

[lusty solar]

There is no way that this should've gotten through without at least 1 person seeing if it works or not

[weary nacelle]

like bloody amateurs

[sturdy python]

idk that just doesn't seem like something an established game company would do. Is there no oversight? Just push updates whenever u want bro no need to test fuck em dood

[ornate roost]

I'm now having the issues of crashing when in game, Anyone else?

[lusty solar]

I really feel bad for the people who are in the position that Dwarden is in. Like, probably none of this is his fault, yet he deals with the backlash

[ornate roost]

Yeah I feel bad aswell

[lusty solar]

But there must be backlash or else nothing changes

[ornate roost]

Yep

I'm now getting BattlEye initialization Failed

[sturdy python]

Yea 100% dwarden is actually still supporting a2.

But i would rather have

no updates

than game breaking ones

[lusty solar]

^

I'm just so baffled that not a single person ran this update before release

Like how is this even possible

Not a single person who coded it, released it, uploaded it to steam, or notified people of it. Not a single one ran it to see "hey...does this work?"

[lament inlet]

Do we know that they didn't? no...

[lusty solar]

yes

@lament inlet

[lament inlet]

Please explain to me

[lusty solar]

The game is broken for every single player

[sturdy python]

They 100% didnt test it

[lusty solar]

Meaning if ANYONE ran the game with this update before release

They would have known it did not work

It is not a problem where only some are affected

100% of the people who run the game are affected

Therefore if only 1 person ran the game before release of this update, they would've known

[low vector]

the fix posted a little while back did work, but suddenly got kicked form server now whenever i connect it says restarting for update or something

[lament inlet]

Internal builds may have been just fine, same with production versions. it happens, sorry to hear dayz got temporarily taken away

At least we have a fix

[lusty solar]

DayZ was taken away when standalone came out

[lament inlet]

And it doesn't take long to do

[lusty solar]

Mudnut, the fact that it is broken in the first place

Just think about that

They haven't updated this game in years

They had all that time to make sure whatever they did works

Its not like we're holding them to a high standard, no one expected an update

Anyway thats the end of my rant/speel

[sturdy python]

Its completly unacceptable this happened. There is no excuse for this

[ornate roost]

Hmmm, BattlEye says Closing Game to Update. But It does not update.

Anyone have a patch for it?

[molten heron]

no patch, just wait until tomorrow

[low vector]

so no fix till tomorrow Dwarden ?

[molten heron]

the only 'fix' is exactly what you done manually, the very same BE files will be placed inot root \Battleye\

[lusty solar]

Can we not just revert to the one we've been using for the 2 years?

[ornate roost]

What about a Roll back? just untill the fix is in is that possible?

[molten heron]

no @lusty solar if you not noticed there is 1.64 update in queue too

and if i wasn't waiting for working linux dedicated it would be live already all

[low vector]

Dwarden servers are saying battleye outdated and then game restarts for update, cant ge tin to any servers

[gilded willow]

so im assuming that when the patch was applied it was tested?

[sturdy python]

i know this isnt your fault dwarden but can you explain why this wasnt tested before release? I mean no disrespect.

[weary nacelle]

Is there any quick fix also for the client constantly restarting when trying to join a server?

[low vector]

thats what i am after samdark

[weary nacelle]

😉

[gilded willow]

from what im hearing it fixed itself guess arma is smarter than the devs who made it >.>

[lusty solar]

oof ^

Attack - 100

[gilded willow]

but i could be wrong

[lusty solar]

Sneak - 100

[forest onyx]

Use manual fix, works fine, stop bitching.

Thanks @molten heron for the fine work amigo

[weary nacelle]

Yeah, obviously it fixed itself for my Server and HC now by restarting the HC often enough. (After applying the manual fix)

[sturdy python]

LOL

[molten heron]

and it should be fixed now

[sturdy python]

"stop bitching"

ur joking right?

[molten heron]

the new problem, not the original, so manual workaround until next workday

[lusty solar]

I've lost track of the problems

[sturdy python]

If your completely fine with this type of shit happening youve lost your mind

[low vector]

the new problem, is that servers not allowing us in ?

[molten heron]

@low vector ye, that should be resolved now

[low vector]

great thx, testing now

[forest onyx]

It’s arma 2 lol thank ur stars we ain’t using playwithsix

☠️

[sturdy python]

saying '"its arma 2" isnt a valid excuse for this man

[molten heron]

@sturdy python mistakes happen, especially when the new BattlEye is 'future' oriented and it was applied on old 1.63 version (put it simply miscommunication)

[sturdy python]

Yea i understand things like that can happen

[molten heron]

it will be sorted tomorrow and completely irrelevant when 1.64 rolls out

[sturdy python]

But no testing before it being pushed at all?

[coral smelt]

what's new in the update?

[sturdy python]

updated battleye libs

in this one or 1.64?

[molten heron]

well that is just wht broken it (last minute addition what caused all the headache)

corepatch was the aimed update for today , https://github.com/Goliath86/CorePatch

cause contrary to 1.64 libraries this could be rolled into stable right now

[lusty solar]

BattlEye is about as future oriented as a pakistani goat

[forest onyx]

@sturdy python quit bitching lol the man will tell u when it’s done

[molten heron]

don't understimate tactical goats

[forest onyx]

😂😂

[lusty solar]

Can't argue with that

[sturdy python]

Holy shit your blind dude

nice msg btw

[tropic mason]

wow i am finally in arma thanks @molten heron for fixing the game at 10pm czech time lol

[molten heron]

for the rest, this will be in 1.64 when (one day in future) it comes live
https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/213193-arma-2-oa-update-164-build-144373-release-candidate-for-eol-end-of-life/

@tropic mason unfortunately i can't fix it otherwise i would do it and rollback would cause sideffects so not option either

hence must wait approx 10-12h from now

[sturdy python]

Will 1.64 be tested

before pushed

[molten heron]

@sturdy python the 1.64 is being tested for last 2 years

[tropic mason]

@molten heron sure i understand, anyways thanks for your work

[molten heron]

you have it even available as public beta ...

[sturdy python]

That doesnt allow me to join server that arent updated? How could i possibly beta test it?

[lusty solar]

^ He has a point

[molten heron]

host your own beta server?

how you think i test myself ?

[lusty solar]

Jeez no wonder

[forest onyx]

I can test it

[sturdy python]

I mean no disrespect and i really appreciate what you do for arma 2

but why wasnt this tested?

[molten heron]

it was tested, nobody expected path change in BE files, period

blame me or bastian or w/e you like

until next workday, nothing can be done about it except the manual workaround

[sturdy python]

How do you guys test things if you dont mind me asking

[spark marlin]

Things work now, can start and join servers again 😃

[lusty solar]

As soon as I saw this discord channel blow up I knew not to shut down my Arma

I'm like the only one playing smoothly

Do I get an award?

[molten heron]

nah, it's just overblown simple issue

files x are in path y instead of z

[sturdy python]

So every player will need to do that fix in order to join any server with battleye until monday? So what 3 days?

[molten heron]

no until tomorrow, i said it like 7 times since you here

[forest onyx]

No tomorrow ... goats are part timers

[sturdy python]

my bad i misread next workday

as monday

[forest onyx]

Lol

[molten heron]

it's 22:36 hence why i said 10-12h from now

[sturdy python]

It is

[molten heron]

that's what you get in the 1.64 man

[sturdy python]

So 1.64 is final update for both the game and battleye?

[molten heron]

it's not Arma 3 level of safety but it's like A2OA and half 🤣

well BE keeps updating on it's own pace ofc, as long as it can

[sturdy python]

Will you guys ever discontinue battleye for a2

or is that a choice for battleye and not bohemia

[molten heron]

for A2 it's technically discontinued, it's obsolete version

only A2OA, Arma 3, Argo and DayZ are actively supported

[sturdy python]

yea sorry mean a2oa lol

[molten heron]

well this new version combined with 1.64 can last some time even under W10

so i would not worry about that for now

but only reality check will tell when 1.64 hits stable ... i'm sure someone will complain again

looks in direction of @sturdy python

[sturdy python]

[molten heron]

i will fight for hotfix don't worry if something goes terribly wrong

[sturdy python]

Is there oversight when pushing updates?

[molten heron]

ye, stuff is QA tested and as you can see we had months of public testing

community (e.g. around epoch and many other mods like koth/wasteland) helped to find those 'irks'

1.64 had way too many fixes and improvements so it was needed

[sturdy python]

I'm talking about this update today.

Like is there like a checklist when you guys push a update? Game still works ✔ Not setting my computer on fire ✔

[hollow mural]

My friend can't start Arma 2: OA in Fullscreen and with BattlEye enabled. He gets a blackscreen. The game worked fine the last time we played, which is a few weeks back. I can't tell when it broke, but I suspect some update caused it. Is there anything you guys would know about this?

[molten heron]

wait until next evening

or use the manual workaround @hollow mural https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/213193-arma-2-oa-update-164-build-144373-release-candidate-for-eol-end-of-life/?do=findComment&comment=3281403

[hollow mural]

It wasn't working on stable or yesterday either. Made him install the current beta version from your post and now it seems to work again. At least the game started one time after waiting for a few minutes.

[still dove]

Poor @sturdy python

[sturdy python]

oh god its him

was wondering what that blocked message was

[sturdy python]

this is the #end_of_life_arma channel. Not a3 channel

[strange nexus]

@tame egret Please do not cross channel post, that's called spam. Spamming leads to Ban.

[sturdy python]

[eternal wadi]

@tame egret Posting in the wrong channel is btw also against #rules . And a Arma 2 and older channel is definetly the wrong place if your question contains "arma 3".

[sturdy python]

i think he gets it

[eternal wadi]

His spam isn't deleted yet. So he didn't get it yet 😉

[sturdy python]

[molten heron]

fixed BE both in stable and beta

[arctic oxide]

appreciated

[forest onyx]

@weary nacelle bist du der von de1000? lol

[eternal wadi]

@forest onyx English only please. #rules Thanks

[tawdry ravine]

2 errors now when players join. Rpk and gsu weapons. Also. Su39 crashes game when joining vehicles now since this bogus update that broke arma again.

I still don’t understand how an update is pushed. Untested it feels like with all these issues.

Unless the goal is. To end the life of arma 2

[molten heron]

@tawdry ravine those updates were tested, you seems to missed that corepatch/modules pbo were in beta for nearly year

now i need more useful repotr about those errors

is it with DayZ mod ? or other mod e.g. Epoch ?

[tawdry ravine]

epoch

when you join a server

moment, ill pull up client rpt

as well, im not the only server seeing these errors

also mentioned on the epoch discord in server admins section

pretty sure the su39 crash is due to the gsh error

that's possible but technically this was exactly the reason it was pushed to the stable

more likely it's just because Epoch overrides same config entries the corepatch fixes

@wild plank continue here

the whole corepatch is availabe there https://github.com/Goliath86/CorePatch

and no idea which DMR related change you talk about as 'fuck up' cause you forgot to explain

[molten heron]

[frosty oak]

what is the ArmA2OA_BE.exe ?

[eternal wadi]

If you start that it automatically launches arma2oa.exe with battleye enabled

[frosty oak]

HI thank you ! can you tell me which memory allocator is the best to use on arma

[eternal wadi]

I'd say default.

[frosty oak]

yes, i think tbb4 is the best because many people use nedmalloc_bi.dll they said its much more better than tbb in the forums

[molten heron]

obsolete information @frosty oak , ignore it

[frosty oak]

yes i will ignore it for sure ^^ @molten heron, can you help me in something, when i applyed the patch 1.64 a massage popup (Addon 'CorePatch' requires addon 'CA_CommunityConfigurationProject_E') is that means that i need to download the patch 1.63 first or something ? because i got confused i thought it was CBA but i disabled all my mods

[molten heron]

@frosty oak there is something missing in your install then , cause CCP is very old part of core game

more likely corrupt or missing c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\ARMA 2 Operation Arrowhead\Expansion\Addons\CommunityConfigurationProject_E.pbo

[frosty oak]

ok thank you very much @molten heron, so i need to reinstall the game right ?

@molten heron i think i mistakenly put the patch files in the wrong place, can you tell me were do i need to put the Arma 2 and Arma 2 OA files from the patch folder because i have combined operations

[molten heron]

put ?

it's all on steam via branches, no manual download needed

[frosty oak]

i have DVD version not steam once

[eternal wadi]

You should be able to just activate your serial key on steam

[frosty oak]

ok thanks i will try

[frosty oak]

im still having error CommunityConfigurationProject_E.pbo at the startup, i reinstalled the game 😦 can anybody send me this file ?

in the main menu i get error script ca\communityconfigurationproject_e.\ai_madetankgunnersuseatandheammo\muzzle\init.sqf not found

[frosty oak]

NVM i fixed it !! 😋

[molten heron]

what was the problem? @frosty oak

[frosty oak]

@molten heron the missing file CommunityConfigurationProject_E PBO & Bisign, i just copied them from beta folder and puted them in the expension/addons folder ^ ^

[frosty oak]

BTW @molten heron something is crazy in arma 2, were you can actually shoot ground vehicles with AA missiles in helicopters and airplanes like the Aim9c sidewinders and Aim 120.....etc can you fix that, i always mistakenly shoot T-72s with the Aim9c in the A-10 i will appreciate it ^ ^

[lament inlet]

@frosty oak That has to do more with the awareness of your weapons than anything that needs to be "fixed"

[frosty oak]

@lament inlet yes but it's illogical for AA weapons to be used on ground vehicles , and my mind use the Logic i played many simulator games and they doesent have this thing and its unrealistic

besides that its fixed in arma 3

[lament inlet]

don't use aa weapons on vehicles then?

It's not unrealistic as you can still fire aa missile at whatever the hell you want even without a lock.

[frosty oak]

maybe in the game but not in reallife

in the real life the missiles are connected to the Radar inside the plane if your radar is off and no target is in lock you can't shoot

[lament inlet]

Sure. I mean, are you confused as to what weapon you're using?

[frosty oak]

it's waste of time and i dont have time to cycle to all these weapons to select the AGMs or bombs and at the same time focusing on the target and engage is rediculious as hell

[lament inlet]

If you wanted to correct this, you can correct this in script.

[frosty oak]

how ?

[lament inlet]

Check the type of the target, and i believe actionhas the ability to force switch a weapon on the vehicle

[frosty oak]

im not good in scripting ? how exactly ??

[lament inlet]

Check syntax of action and typeOf isKindOf. I can't explain all as of right now, ask in #arma3_scripting .

[frosty oak]

ok i will try

[lament inlet]

It's not a very unreasonable request. I just think it's not a huge problem i guess

[frosty oak]

Ah ok well its at least for me especially in multiplayer where you can get hit by Aim9x sidewinder when driving a car or something and its waste of time cycling to all the weapons while keeping your target in your nose
