{{Important|Bug additions are to be clear and concise. Information on how to reproduce and locate bugs or visually displayed with a movie or image is essential in helping [[BI]] fix any bugs as quickly as possible. Your additions are to be signed and version number properly identified or your addition will be removed without notification.}}
{{Feature|important| '''BUG TRACKER'''


__NOTOC__
The ArmA bug tracker is unavailable at this time.}}
 
==Introduction==
 
Help [[BI]] keep track of important bugs by contributing to this list! Before you begin editing, read over the '''How To Report''' section. Its very important to provide accurate detail by posting reproducing steps, images, movies, and locations of bugged models/graphics.
 
If you have a more detailed bug report that requires more room then makes sense for the '''Biki'''  then go to the [http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard311/ikonboard.cgi BIS Forum] and find the current bug thread and post it there.
 
There is a [[Armed Assault: Wish List|wishlist]] for making suggestions to improve Armed Assault, please use this list for those suggestions
 
You should only post bugs about the '''current version'''
 
'''Current ArmA version is:''' ''[1.02]''
 
'''Current Dedicated server version is:''' ''[1.02]''
 
You can find information about the '''1.02''' patch [http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard311/ikonboard.cgi?;act=ST;f=72;t=55917 here]
 
The old bug list can be found here [[Armed_Assault:_Bugs_List-version-1.01.5094]].
 
==How to Report==
 
Submitting bugs in a usable format is <u>essential</u>. Your wasting everybody's time if you post something meaningless and there is a good chance your addition will be '''removed''' or '''ignored'''.
 
1. Post in the appropriate section.<br/>
2. Always sign your entries by adding <nowiki>~~~</nowiki> after your addition. '''Failure''' to sign your addition will result in someone removing your addition without notification.<br/>
3. Add your bug using the [[Template:Bug priority|template Bug priority]] with '''priority 0''' add the end of the appropriate section. Authorized people will alter the priority of your bug.
 
The source code of a new bug with the [[Template:Bug priority|template Bug priority]] should look like that:
 
<pre>{{Bug priority|0|
YOUR TEXT HERE -~~~
}}</pre>
 
Here are a couple of decent '''examples''' of usable information.
 
{{Bug priority|0|
Grass clumps floating in midair @ GI56, noticeable when going prone only ''[1.01.5094]'' - <nowiki>~~~</nowiki>

}}
 
Reproduction missions can be very helpful for complex problems, when possible provide a link to the mission containing only the necessary items to illustrate the bug report.
 
{{Important| '''Bug priorities'''
 
To make it easier for BI people to see important bugs, we introduced bug priority templates. Add new bugs with priority 0. Only [[User:BigDawgKS|BigDawgKS]], [[User:Sniperwolf572|Sniperwolf572]], the BI staff and the [[Bohemia_Interactive_Community:Administrators|wiki sysops]] are allowed to set priorities to values higher than 0.}}

AI automatically knows where you are if one of their group hits one of your mines. German, 1.02<br>
To reproduce, play convoy (one of the first campaign missions) and mine the road just to the west of the rock at gg64 using the mines in the truck.  Move to hide behind the rock in the SW portion of gh 64 but so you can see the road still, and wait for the lead BMP to hit the mines.<br>
9 times out of 10 The second BMP will know your location, fire on you, and kill you before you do anything else.<br>

When i put MG or cannon in editor, give it "search and destroy" waypoint, it ignore enemy soldiers  standing in front of it. When i put enemy vehicle, it open fire at this vehicle only  [v1.02 Polish]--[[User:Gutekfiutek|Gutekfiutek]]
:: Giving a static weapon a waypoint is not going to give you good results anway, especially search and destroy, which only works when the AI reaches the waypoint (and thus must move), and further requires them to move around to search. IMO cannon's shouldn't engage infantry either, but MGs should. Most likely either a problem with AI engaging infantry class, or they have too much difficulty "spotting" them. --[[User:BigDawgKS|Big Dawg KS]]

:::: There's a discussion about this on the BI Forum. I remember seeing a screenshot of someone's control configuration in English where Left Pedal/Right Pedal were different controls than Left Turn/Right Turn.

:Just tested this to confirm it. Actually, AI have more problem with this, since the player can aim a bit higher to achieve better results, since the missile wobbles up and down. Humvee TOW is a different story, it does some kind of circular pattern, making it difficult even for the player to hit anything, which may be realistic, but I think it's over exaggerated, and it reduces weapons overall efficiency compared to the real life. --[[User:Sniperwolf572|Sniperwolf572]] 16:41, 19 December 2006 (CET)

All G36 variants shoot as if they are firing HD rounds.  The rounds disperse way to randomly.  I have shot many 'real' assault rifles and none of them disperse like this.  Further more, the G36 is an extremely accurate assault rifle; it should be alot more consistant. The M4 Aimpoint does it as well along with several others. However, the G36 and M4 Aimpoint are the only two that I focused on.  The recoil should also be adjusted on these two weapons; both have excesive amounts of recoil, in game, that are not naturally known to the weapon [http://www.wildwestguns.com/Bushwacker/Machine_Gun_Fun/MOV00005.MPG Video of G36C being fired at law enforcement demonstration]. -[[User:Pennywise|Pennywise]]

The Aimpoint has a circular icon when zoomed in that is not transparent enough to use effectively.  The [http://ofp.dyndns.org/Images/m4AimPoint.jpg current icon] obstructs your aim more than assists. The tracers are also hidden by the icon.  It would also be more user friendly in game if the lense zoomed in just a tad more.  Right now, the casing around the lense takes up alot of space and also objstructs your view.  On most Aimpoints the lense cover flips up and not out to the side.  Just removing the lense cover fliped out to the side would be a big improvement. -[[User:Pennywise|Pennywise]]
