America's Army 2.8.3 NOW AVAILABLE

Quote [Dev]MindRiot
"Just a heads up to let you guys know that we will be releasing America's Army v2.8.3 tomorrow (THU) at noon on the West Coast (PST).

Some hosting sites, against orders, posted the files early. The problem with this is that we don't have servers running yet to accommodate players, and thus why releases take us a couple of days working behind the scenes to get things ready.

We have started pre-seeding for BitTorrent already and at noon on Thursday we will enable the full files. The new release will have both a full and patch version.

We focused this version on improving performance! Our goal was to reduce the installer size, address many of the open issues that people have requested, etc… Some specifics on the release; Demorec is a work in progress, but is better. Framerates are improved, too.

We decided to not introduce any major new features for this release, because we felt the feedback was that you wanted us to focus on some of the existing issues, and we wanted to reward and focus our longstanding and loyal AA Players.

We look forward to hearing from you, and reading your feedback which plays a vital role in the development and growth of the AA community. Thank you for your continued support of our game, and on behalf of the entire Army Game Project, we hope you enjoy this release."

I make a copy of all my AA installs and rename the folders. I can go all the way back to 1.5

Im guessing 3.0 is a few years away, and by the time they finish it it will obsolete.

I heard AA3 comes out November this year

Up and running Enjoy! People playing in the GA Match... BACKUP your old AAO folder!

I cant get it to run in GLOBAL mode you will need to connect via IP

"I really like the faster reloads (even on saw) and fixjams (tested on all guns with strawberry). The way flashes are ineffective outside is a very nice touch and will speed up the pace of the game while still being realistic.

VERY VERY good work on the demorecs so far.

Although, I am confused as to the purpose of the 5 second spawn timer.

The performance is definitely better along with better bullet registration.

My vote for best patch in a very long time. GJ hopefully this helps revive this game."

Bottom line is - do we download now or wait a while??????????

download it now.
then after the GA match install it.

in a day or so there will be servers to play on.

but as sniper says BACKUP YOUR 2.8.2 FILES first.

that way if ya need 2.8.2 it is there.

Improvements (as listed in AA forums)

- Demo Mode: Surpress UI elements from being displayed during playback

cAN THIS BE RECTIFIED SHORT TERM ?????????

Downloading now.

Have been playing 2.8.3 seems allright however there seems to be a lot of script bugs.

Dizz
The flash timing has been changed in 2.8.3.

2.8.2 flash length was 20
2.8.3 flash length is 12

so if you are being kicked for that then the server you are on needs to update their cvar list.
