Since the latest version, body armors as well as helmets do keep their damage even after reloading. In short, it was a bug and was fixed by our russian friends. Kudos to them.

@ R@S

*rant*
Repairing body armor? With what? A needle and thread?
*end rant*
Its a nice realism -lol- touch and ,as you said, the game gives you more than enough body armors to scavenge and replace the damaged ones.

Next thing you'll be telling me that our Russian friends managed to fix the memory leak..

This game is getting more polished by the week, it seems.

I think our Russian friends are getting closer to fix this, and if my "Realism freakish" friends doesn't disagree, I might add the body armor group to the repair tool script. With a high enough mechanic skill one might be able to repair it, but as I said, it will depend on the Russians.

I actually like this new setting, it forces me to scavenge after a fight, and when I know I need some new body armor, I start using headshots a lot more

I've always enjoyed the idea of 'struggling to survive', rather than being able to buy every possible thing right from the local gun dealer. It always struck me as a bit odd that some random guy in a shithole of a south-american country has this massive armade of weaponry, from a 6G30, to a MG-3s, to a SR-25. Randomly damaged weapons and irreparable body armor is a great step forward. I'm looking forward to 1.7!

Sheesh I struggle to survive enough the way it is now.

Is there any way to fix the crazy annoying "target lost" when the enemy runs behind a toothpick?

[Decker16]

Seems to me a merc will re-acquire a target if it runs out of cover while he's still in aiming phase but to be certain i have the pause on sighting known enemy event turned on and manually select the target again as it runs out from behind said toothpick.

@ Iceshade

The memory leak is considered an integral part of the 7.62 experience. It is a mechanism that brings you back in the real world - so the gamers cannot play tens of hours straight and probably die of thirst and starvation. Thus it will not be removed.

[Tozmeister]

The memory leak was added by Aperion at the request (and vast expense) of Microsoft so they could keep selling X-Box's to re***ds. Otherwise PC's would take over the world on the backs of games like this.

[LtChambers]

Obviously the expense wasn't too vast or Apeiron would still be in business.

The funny thing is that I occassionally got CTDs playing JA2 1.13 also. And it's actually faster to get back into the game with 7.62. Clearly something in JA2's engine isn't scaling well!

@ R@S: I'm experiencing errors when I try to enter the Blue Sun Base. The game fails to load the minimap as well as the map itself. To me it looks like there is the whole map missing.

[R@S]

The minimaps are inside the BlueSun.azp while the mesh files are in the map packs. I think your log should say which files are missing, if any.

Do you mind having a look?

This explains it all, make sure you copy ALL the files from the 3 media packs to your Media.pack folder.
