Bug List – ArmA: Armed Assault

⚠

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.

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 BIS Forum and find the current bug thread and post it there.

There is a 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 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 essential. 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.
2. Always sign your entries by adding ~~~ after your addition. Failure to sign your addition will result in someone removing your addition without notification.

Here are a couple of decent examples of usable information.

• Grass clumps floating in midair @ GI56, noticeable when going prone only [1.01.5094] - ~~~
• 90% of the time when getting out of a boat the player is placed under the ground. [1.01.5094].check image - ~~~

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.

Bug priorities To make it easier for BI people to see important bugs, we introduced bug priority templates. Don't use them, only BigDawgKS, Sniperwolf572, the BI staff and the wiki sysops are allowed to add priorites.

Visual Issues

• Night sets in too abruptly. MP Clean Sweep mission revealed that bug just by chance. I have set up a small test mission to show it's occurrence. Play the mission and accelerate time, few minutes afterwards everything besides the sky goes black. Time at which this happens varies from month and day, so every day has the bug occurring at different time. Reverse happens in the morning, set the time of the test mission provided to 05:30 and accelerate time. [1.02] -Sniperwolf572

• Glass for hostel are not transparent for unit [1.0.2 GER] dob

• Glass visor/optic on Stinger is see-trough. Similar to old OFP glasses bug. Screenshot demonstrating the bug. [1.02] -Sniperwolf572

• Double crosshairs on first person view on gunner position of Stryker (M2). Screenshot to demonstrate. Upper crosshair should probably be the dot crosshair. [1.02] -Sniperwolf572

• Light cones light up objects and terrain behind them, where those objects and terrain are not exposed to light in any way. Screenshot to demonstrate. [1.02] -Sniperwolf572

• Harrier Cockpit window allows to look through building walls. See Image --SniperAndy
