{{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'''


==Introduction==
The ArmA bug tracker is unavailable at this time.}}
 
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 [[Help:ArmA: 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|

}}
 
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.  [[User:BigDawgKS|BigDawgKS]], [[User:Plaintiff1|Plaintiff1]], the BI staff, and the [[Bohemia_Interactive_Community:Administrators|wiki sysops]] will set priorities to values higher than 0.}}

{{Bug priority|5|
The waiting screen at mission start seems inconsistent with the actual loading process. If you start the mission at the west end of the main airfield, you get into the game almost instantly but changing your position a little bit elsewhere and trying again you have to wait some 15 seconds (always the same amount despite of surrounding objects) for the loading bar to fill and only then you will get into the game. Loading time for objects is close to none when teleporting from a small island to the biggest cities. The same object loading takes place when starting in a city even after the loading screen. This same loading screen is also troublesome in multiplayer because everyone starts at a different time, loading any data beforehand and disabling the waiting screen after starting the mission would be the best solution.

I agree this happens on the simplest of missions. I tried it - took all of 2 minutes to test. Why the debate about this? Sysops this is not OPF 2001 - then again perhaps it is just a facelifted dx9 version. Too many similar bugs for it to be coincidence. [[User:Major Latency|Major Latency]]

Sometimes it's quite impossible to order the AI soldiers to pick up a certain weapon or magazine. I.e.

When nearing this ammo depot it appears in the left top corner loading. Player can pick up any weapon or magazine, no problem. But it's impossible to tell the AI to pick up anything.

{{Bug priority|4|
Once AI becomes aware of you, all AI-units "track" you, even when obscured. Can be tested easily with editor-setup. Just fire at some AI-unit and walk around some houses/walls. Many times when you enter the LOS (Line of sight), AI already is pointing at you or your general direction. Sometimes you can actually see some AI-units turn towards you, despite the fact that you were in their back - read: not visible!
The same is true for going prone - AI goes down, the moment you look at them - but they actually do not see you! [[User:Weasel75|Weasel75]] 07:14, 28 December 2006 (CET)

AI pilots and drivers do not have appropriate action lists.  Example: in the mission editor create a player unit and a flying MH-6.  The MH-6 pilot can be ordered to EJECT but not to turn the engine off or to turn the lights on/off.

AI pilots in helicopters that are flying to a waypoint are moving the nose of the helicopter up and down continuously to hold speed and roll from side to side arround the target. They should have a range of speed and a range of degrees to fly at, so that this continuously correction of course and speed isnt needed. Other solution would be an approximation-method. To try out, place an AI helicopter in the editor, get in as a player and order the AI to fly somewhere far away. ''[1.02]'' - [[User:Snowball|Snowball]]

Formation is stuck to only wedge during DoMove and MoveTo commands given to ai group leaders with all other ai units in group using doFollow group leader, regardless of previous or new formation settings. This is severely problematic for scripting in sending ai groups to various places within towns, as currently using wedge formation will likely gaurantee at least one or more group unit will get stuck somewhere, unlike the usage of "COLUMN" formation which allows much more reliable passage within areas that can be difficult for ai groups to navigate. Using column formation (and stag column) have been tested to be considerably more reliable for ai pathing thru even the worst areas in large cities in comparison to wedge.Have no way to send a test mission, but a simple test would be to merely path a group thru editor from outside bagango into the city center with the waypoint placed on a relatively open spot, do this with colum, then do this with wedge, results are pretty conclusive. The issue with DoMove and moveTo only allowing wedge formation are also simple to test, they will always hold formation wedge while these commands are given to group leaders along with all other units in the group set to doFollow group leader.This may be a 'default' formation for these commands usages, but considering the many problems with ai navigating thru Armas very complex towns and cities, allowing formations to be set during DoMove and MoveTo would make a huge difference.[v1.02] -[[User:Special Ed|Special Ed]]}}

:: yes that is a possibility however, this is the first game out of many that caused this problem, this is the first sound card ive had that has never had a problem with old or new games untill ArmA. the differance with the entertainment mode is that it changes the acoustic quality to more suit music and movies, im not sure but it might disables one advanced feature. Being able to play 128 or more sounds at one time, this should not cause the game to crash for there are many sound cards that cant reproduce 128 or more sounds.

A low sun (sunset or sunrise) will make the sky flash when flying. [http://www.unionen.se/xphaze/arma_bugs/sunflashing.avi Video] for better explanation. [1.02] -[[User:Xpz|Xpz]] 01:12, 14 January 2007 (CET)
: This is not a bug. This is happening because the rotor blade is coming between you and the sun. --[[User:Plaintiff1|Plaintiff1]] 09:02, 17 January 2007 (CET)
:: With all due respect - this is a clearly a bug. I have been in many choppers and the sky does not flash when sun light passes through the main rotor even when I've had too much to drink. The rotor is travelling at such a high rotational velocity that the light simply becomes diffused and slightly reduced. What stobe effect there is barely noticeable. This is a frame rate / rendering issue and probably relates to the many other 'sun flashing/lighting' issues mentioned by other users.. Sysop's you should be able to pick this up and not use the standard knee jerk reaction - 'it's not a bug'. - [[User:Major Latency|Major Latency]]
::: It's not a knee jerk reaction.  I realise that this doesn't happen in real life ;)  But, some things are just artifacts of the engine.  Comparing ArmA to real life and then naming the differences as bugs is not what this list is about. --[[User:Plaintiff1|Plaintiff1]] 23:22, 18 January 2007 (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]]
: Thx for the video. However, I see recoil on the video, the rifle visibly jumps "up". And ingame, recoil is (at least for the G36) quite small. Even in zoomed/scoped view, the recoil does not feel exaggerated. [[User:Weasel75|Weasel75]] 22:57, 25 December 2006 (CET)
 
: Here, I threw together another video comparing the OFP G36 with the ArmA G36, http://flashpoint.dyndns.org/videos/comparison.rar.  The OFP G36 was much more realistic and had much more appropriate behavior.  While the gun may recoil slightly, it does not deviate as far from the target due to recoil.  The new settings in ArmA make the G36 feel really sluggish and inaccurate which you can obviosly see comaring the two videos.  When you zoom in with the scope on a target, the ArmA G36 jumps all over the place.  This is an inaccurate depiction of the real G36.  The real G36 will stay focused on a targat and not jump around as much, the OFP G36 more accurately depicts this.  The ArmA does not.

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]]
