ArmA: Armed Assault: Bug or Feature

Bug of Feature?

Introduction

At times it might not be quite clear whether certain features or behaviours are bugs, planned features, engine limitations, or just false expectations due to confusing documention.

For those cases, this list has been created.

If you come across features where one of the above criteria might apply, put it here first, and then, once it has been determined to be a true bug, it will then be moved to the official bug list.

AI Issues

• At night the AI can see much further than he should be. [1.04.5121] -Armaaa
• The AI can crawl through fences. [1.04.5121] -Armaaa

Control Issues

Multi Player Issues

• At the server browser there should be an option to filter out incompatibile server versions. [1.04.5121] -Armaaa
• Autostart feature at the briefing screen even with admin present. I want an official statement if it will be fixed or not, please. It is very important for serious online gaming with planning and weapons/ammunition allocation. [1.02] --Messiah(UA) 15:09, 21 February 2007 (CET)

No, it's happening at night. -Armaaa

• The character animations (for example reloading) is not interrputed when the player gets a deadly wound. [1.04.5121] -Armaaa

Weapons

• The RPG is not as deadly as it should(?) be. video [1.03.5116 demo] -Armaaa
• The silenced ammo is NOT the default ammo for silenced M4/AK74. [1.03.5116 demo] -Armaaa
• If silenced ammo is loaded in the (regular) M4 it behaves like a silenced gun for everyone else. video Is it like it's meant to be? Because you can't load the silenced ammo in AK74. [1.03.5116 demo] -Armaaa
• Reloading sound seems to be unsyncronised with the reloading animations. [1.03.5116 demo] -Armaaa
