Given this entire topic exists for the sole purpose of bug reports I'd say we have utterly failed to meet the minimum expectations.  You aren't going to take our sheep away are you?

Oh heavens no.  I do not want the responsibility for all that wool.

None of the mission will populate players.  Nor will they allow any flight while the mission is running.  This includes the AvA as well as the Missions Arena.

2 unexpected messages appear in one or the other method to attempt in testing those arenas:

"Only CM can assign" or "Can not fly while mission is in progress"

Found this issue,was simply a configuration issue, but I also found out missions will cause you to CTD at the moment.

Do not know if there is a 1 to 1 correlation in the following observation about an AMD service.

I recently updated my AMD drivers and forgot to disable the AMD External Events service. I upped offline at V2 to test clouds. With post lighting enabled there was an obvious white screen flash about every 2-3 minutes. When I tried to exit the game it hung. I used task manager and discovered the AMD service was enabled visa it's executable. I disabled that service and tried to duplicate the issue with no success after several instances of exiting the game and testing post lighting on\off.

Clouds can now be watched moving across your wind screen while sitting on the runway at V2. About 1Mil a second. Until you get about 1 mile from them, there is an obvious wiggle and wobble every few seconds due to the redraw for location travel changes. Post lighting on inside the clouds is 22-27 FPS. Post lighting off, 27-40. Not sure how much more tweeking will take place with clouds and their impact on FPS with Mid range to Low range video cards.

First time entering the CV bridge seems for me to always have the faces of the compass, instruments, and portholes for the secondary bridge a neon blue illuminated effect. After I launch an aircraft or sit in a gun, the faces are normal and port holes black when I return to the bridge.  Looking straight up on the bridge my head still pokes through the roof and there are still hit sprites coming up over the bow.

It could be my imagination, in offline testing the Ju87 G2 BK 3.7 carbide core round from sub 100, one shot destroys a T34\76 into the area under the track fender. This is consistent with action reports for the 30mm and 37mm German carbide core rounds against Russian tanks. I made 10 passes on a T34 to test it. I'll wait to confirm this until later in the beta since nothing is set in stone at this time.

I've been getting that same flash also bustr.  I'll try doing what you did to fix it.  Good find.

Online Arena menu clipboard:

When exiting an online arena the clipboard pops up small enough that I can't read the text no matter what size the clipboard was before entering the arena. Clipboard is difficult to re-size when this small.

The "terrset00.zip" link in the Alpha Patch 77 download thread does not work for me. It sends me to a page that says "An error has occurred! You are not allowed to access this section".

As noted above all staged missions cause a CTD.  Will wait for the next patch.
