ARMA 2 Patch 1.02 Updated and Released Again

An updated version of the v1.02 patch for ARMA II is now available on FileShack, packing numerous enhancements and fixes over the previously released v1.02 patch.

Improved game stability and "newly implemented full support" for anti-aliasing are among the major tweaks developer Bohemia has brought to the PC military simulator. The patch can only be installed over version 1.00 or 1.01 of the recently released game, but retains multiplayer compatibility with all past versions (1.00, 1.01 and 1.02).

"We believe [anti-aliasing] increases visual quality significantly without any major performance impact," said Bohemia.

The studio added that "it is not recommended to use any savegames created in versions 1.00 or 1.01," though saves created under the previous 1.02 patch should work just fine.

While the idea of a 2009 game not supportin, anti aliasing is little odd to say the least, it's hardly surprising for the Armed Assault series. AA has always been a little out of touch with modern standards.

I remember one time I went to their forums and suggested a server favorites list and the immediate reaction was "write down the server IPs on a piece of paper." LOL

Why is this patch 1.02 again and not patch 1.03? How is releasing a different patch with the same patch number a good idea?

The AI in this game is awful, I hope they improve on that. It's frustrating to get hit and call out to the medic standing right next to you, only to watch him run back and forth across the street for no apparent reason for 5 minutes instead of walking 4 feet over and patching you up.

Well, I don't know how is it in this game but in Crysis it does have a major performance impact.

I'm starting to get the feeling this game is going to follow in the foot steps of Operation Flashpoint: It will finally play to it's full potential about 1-2 years after release when more PCs are able to handle it well in addition to numerous patches to fix lame flaws.
