Download it but hold off installing it for a bit until they release a new version of the dedicted server. Every single server online is still 1.02

"Fixed: Prevent killed AI units reporting who killed them."

Seems to be the best fix with this patch.
May help turn down the god like abilities of AI now

BattlingCheese

yup you are talking about a mod called A.C.E and it was the business.

good news is they are in process of making A.C.E 2 for Arma2

A lot of servers have switched to the new version.

I have the steam version, so I had no choice but to update. Seems pretty good, especially the AI tweaks. they are less omniscient now.

Any idea when the gameserver one will be updated?

I've pm'ed Paul the link to the files and I'll let you know when he's doing it as soon as I know, hopefully this evening. I don't have access to it

cool - thanks. Have just been playing on a random server with Domination Carrier running with some asshole called Pierre TK-ing everyone for 20 minintes and then whining for another 20 about how he can't find any action.

At least I managed a long stint in a cobra with an AI gunner. Man, that beats the A10 even by a long way. It's a total death machine.

Server is running 1.03, cya later folks
