Lots of bugs Options

[dvolk]

I've been playing the campaign for two days now and I've noticed tons of bugs. Unfortunately BIS took their forum down so I'll have to whine about it here. This list definitely isn't complete because I didn't take notes while I was playing, but it does illustrate that the German release (with 1.01 patch) is beta quality at best.

It may seem that I'm being very negative about the game, but I did enjoy the parts that worked, and I'm looking forward to the inevitable patches that make the game less frustrating.

Annoying bugs
- Squad members report on enemies through buildings and hills (most evident on the assault on the city where your squad is reporting on things literally on the other side of the city)
- AI often inactive (seems to be fixed with beta patch)
- AI has very poor survival instincts (probably a bad idea to stand on the street when a BRDM is coming?)
- AI still can't drive on the road competently
- Objects sometimes glow white to the point where all texture detail is lost
- Texture streaming problems esp during animations
- Missing audio for some communications
- Animations occasionally run at 1-2fps (regardless of game fps)
- Sometimes there's audio but no text (esp. annoying when the audio is Russian or whatever)
- Some dialogue audio seems to be cut/pasted together like orders
- Civilians don't respond to dialogue
- Civilian reactions are very poorly done

Game-breaking bugs
- Communications where there's no audio simply scroll by too quick to read
- Waypoints for objectives aren't set or randomly disappear from the map
- If you give yourself a wait order, the squad won't follow "return to formation" orders any more

Things that are just annoying but probably not bugs
- Squad reports are mostly useless because there's no more "clock compass"
- Objectives are sometimes very vague ("go arrest this guy", with no clear indication where he is or any obvious means of finding out)
- Objects popping into existence as you move around are just way too obvious
- Audio for orders is still copy/pasted together (I thought this was going to be improved?)
- Can't refuel at civilian petrol stations
- Picked-up weapons sadly not carried from mission to mission

Right now my main concern is the "new" sound engine, it's extremely bad, i mean worse than arma1, same old voices and sound effects, but not only that, there are problems with sound loacalisation, there is an explosion in front of you but you hear it coming from your left, you can hear the engine of a tank in front of you but if you turn and have the tank in your back you don't hear it anymore...

perhaps i have some drivers problems and it's just me ?

A quick question for people who already have ArmA2 and are now reporting all those numerous bugs mentioned above - is it all true?
You guys are serious?

i wait to see if others experience the same problem

i still say the game is great even if there are several things to fix

I've got it too and there are lots of bugs even with the patch. Understanding the german is not a problem for me, i learnt it ^^. I played the campaign too and its very boring. At the beginning of a mission my guys wouldn't move !! they didn't obey etc.... Another one : some cutscenes never finish. for example, i can't switch to the 3rd person or look the watch and aim --> so restart the mission. sometimes the arms of the fire team leaders are completely disformed O_o it's very horrible !
also : - we can see the backpacks of the soldiers outside from the MTVR (the US truck)
- the head of the man go trought the roof of the wolkswagen golft
Hope a new patch will fix all of theses things !
I should keep my money and wait for the others releases.
