Patch 1.05
Before the end of February we plan to release a new patch 1.05 for all editions of ArmA that will ensure an internationally unified game environment. The patch will also improve various aspects of the game for the existing users, including:

* reworked and improved multiplayer game browser screen

* dedicated server platform underwent big stability and performance improvement
* ability to turn off grass in video options and grass flattened around soldiers for improved visibility.
* visually improved and smoother LOD switching
* various performance and stability optimizations
* new modern style GPS device displaying small map on top of game view in some situations for easier navigation
* support for more keyboard shortcuts to actions
* generally improved AI (including driving and combat)

* and more...

Editing Tools
We're going to start beta testing of ArmA editing tools soon. The process of releasing the entire necessary infrastructure to the community will be our ongoing effort in the upcoming months and we're working hard on it. Please be patient and understand that this is not something that will happen at one point but intstead we'll be releasing one piece of the tools after another. The BI Community Wiki will remain the main place for us to share all important information related to ArmA editing with the community and it is also the best official place already containing comprehensive information on various aspects of editing and modifying ArmA.

Now that looks like a good patch, looking forward to it.

Oooh a TT650 yam yam yamaha

mebbe, I hope

Dr_Eyeball · 12th February 2007, 04:57 PM

Yeah the patch should be good. The GPS map sounds interesting, although they kind of already have a mini-map while switching roles. I wonder if they'll ever have the German/Czech versions permanently patched to English.

With the English version out, I hope the on-line presence will become higher.

It sounds like the tools will take a while to come out. I was looking forward to some new islands/towns and statics (like buildings, etc) sooner than later. We'll have to see what order they release them.

I hope they implement the correct model of the TT650. Looking it up on the internet, it shows it's a toaster.

I'll be doing a bit of an upgrade soonish (vid) and will buy ArmA after that time... and hopefully, all will be sweet! Can't wait to sink into this game.

1.05 client patch is not quite here yet, but they've just released
ArmA: Dedicated Server 1.04.5121 Beta.

The readme file only talks about fixies to various crashes and some minor technical & AI details, but nothing significant.

Stompya · 19th February 2007, 05:24 PM
