I was able to solve my issue discussed earlier by defragging both the ARMA 2 and ARMA 2 OA directories in Steam (not running) with Contig, a file defragmenter from SysInternals.

I must admit that I was very skeptical that this would work but wanted to thank nettrucker and 1in1class for their help. Performance has been restored to pre-patch levels.

Good to hear that the performance is restored now, sorry for not having advised you on a defragger tool, but it's sometimes hard for me to check every thread and reply. Important is that you solved your problem.

kind regards

since latest patch the javlin doesnt lock on to target?

you get the tone and the lock on icon but once fired it goes anywhere it wants????

[guttersnipe 1]

At first i couldn´t quite understand what you were saying, but i needed to have a look at my arma immediately. Shows BIS made the XM-8 that are included in ArmA 2 (which i already bought long ago) into crap quality with the PMC DLC! Now that really isn´t one of the benefits of "solid plan" i´d ever seen coming. As if it wasn´t enough that were getting crappyfied content we already got in full quality (SUV, Roads) we must now also fear that BI harvests in older titles to reintroduce "new" items in DLC?

I hope this is just an oversight in development and will be fixed.

I can't believe this - have they really destoried part of the existing content that I already owned? Another reason not to update to 1.56 (aside from my flickering textures....

I doubt it's an oversight though ... seems like pretty blatant pickpocketing...shame really, because I thought the BAF DLC was well handled.

Are you using the javelin top down attack mod, if so delete it

[fingolfin 1972]

Does anyone else see glowing bushes when using night vision on Proving Grounds? It's seems to be an issue with the LODs, when you come near the bushes they stop glowing.

Maybe it's a problem with my graphic card, I use a Nvidia 9800 GTX.

[ast65 10]

Yeah, there are still some issues with LOD´s in 1.56.

Antialliasing artefacts have come back heavy on some textures (flickering white dots on bushes and trees under certain angle of light and LOD level).

Ah well, until this issue is fixed again I´ll disable AA ingame and use MLAA postfilter while cranking up picture sharpness at my monitor to even out the slight loss of crispness :rolleyes:

So here's my problem!

I recently un-installed ARMA off my PC because of problems I had picked up using mods.

Upon re-installing all of my games and add-ons etc (i.e. ARMA, Arrowhead, BAF and PFC) without mods I had no sound!!!!!!!!!

Fancy that!!!!!!!!

Well I decided that it may have been a problem with Direct X so I upgraded that but still no sound.

And after numerous sessions of searching forums on the possible problem I opted to re-install and see what happens.

I got sound back and after checking ARMA and was happy so I proceeded to re-install everything again.

Then NO SOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!

By now I'm starting to get annoyed!

So I un-installed again!

And re-installed checking after each step of the re-install (i.e. after each patch or add-on; BAF and PFC)

I have found that I lose sound after installing my BAF add-on and can only assume it will do the same for PFC.

So now I am completely hacked off to say the least because I have paid for these add-ons and they don't work.

I'm going to try re-install one more time and download a fresh copy of the files from GamersGate where I bought the add-ons and see what happens.

Can someone please assist and tell me if this would work? Or what else should I do?

All this installing is really starting to get a bit much!

EDIT: so now I have redone the re-installation for the ummteenth time and have determined that it is in fact the 1.56 patch that is corrupting the sound capability.

What is the solution?

FINAL EDIT: The problem has been solved! I have determined that for some reason I could not just apply the 1.56 patch to an older version than 1.55.

So I had to install each previous patch individually. Fortunately I still had them from previous downloads.

I cannot tell you the reason but it worked.

I now have sound!

Regards

Saint

My computer just locks up when ever I start a Mission in Combined Operations, and I end up having to restart my computer serveral times after that just to get it back into working condition. I guess I will try reinstalling everything.......:(

Windows 7 64-bit

GTX 465

4gb memory

Intel Core 2 Duo 3.0 ghz

*Edit*

Nevermind, my problem is my system, not the game.

[jgaz-uk 132]

Still the SOM Artillery radio problems ie only half the sounds.

Also now nothing turns up with the SOM transport request.:(

[Arthur Hucksake 10]

In Combined Operations, playing campaign in Co-Op. At the end of missions, they don't end correctly. It jumps to the mission select screen rather than give you the check list of objectives so you can carry onto the next.

Didn't do this when playing regular Arma 2.

[StellaStrella 45]

I recently tryed to install the patch and i keep getting the following errors during the installation

Also because of these errors bellow i get an error on start up saying that the PMC lite addon requires 1.56 (just to note i continued the installation by using the ignore button so by the looks i have some parts and not others. Another thing is that i have tryed several different downloads off the patch to make sure it wasent just a corrupt download)

Please be patient. This update may appear to take a long time to complete. It is updating and installing very large data.

I had exactly the same error messages. It all seems to work ok except it takes ages to start the game now and sometimes it takes about 5 minutes to load a mission.

[fingolfin 1972]

It's not really a bug, but kind of annoying. Many PMC models still use the old NV-Goggles which do not fit at all. Maybe this could be changed with one of the next patches.

New:

Old:

The classes that would need to be changed are:

Bodyguard (AA-12)

Bodyguard (M4A1) - has the new NVs but it doesn't fit on the head

Defensive Marksman

Field Specialist (M8-Auto)

Field Specialist (PKM)

Field Specialist (RPG-18)

Security Contractor (M16A2-GL)

Security Contractor (M4A3)

Security Contractor (M8-GL)

Security Contractor (M8)

Tactical Specialist (KSVK)

Tactical Specialist (Stinger)

Seems my problem is fixed well kind of i intalled yet another version of the patch and got some errors but i dont get any errors on start up & the PMC lite works fine now

[vasmkd 12]

Just discovered that pilot cannot switch to HE rounds in the Ka-52. Menu comes up but nothing happens when u select HE.

Gunner can switch to HE but pilot cannot not when in manual fire mode with a AI gunner. This is a 1.56 problem and a 1.56 latest beta problem. I am running no mods too.

Hey guys, late comer to OA but have an issue with the campaign I believe may have been caused by a recent patch as I can't find much reference on it. Maybe because not too many people play the campaign anymore? :p

When loading up the mission "From Hell" where you must recover the pilot from the previous mission. The message "mission failed pilot not found" pops up in red before the world completes fading in. This leads to the retry window poping up immediatly and no way to continue the campaign. This happens even when loading a "fresh" mission as it happens immediatly.

Anyone care to test, or have some help? Maybe it's an old issue that I failed in googleing?

Press left shift and - on the numpad, hold left shift and type ENDMISSION, that skips the mission, so you can continue with the campaign for now.

Hey all,

I finally beat my CRC error and updated to 1.56 and got PMC installed.

As I've been sidetracked with all that I'm not completely up to date with the current bugs so don't flame me if this has been discussed.

I flicked through this thread and searched around but nothing stuck out.

I'm getting this during the opening cut-scene of PMC. So have others got this error or has my install stuffed up again?

thanks, this luckily we already noticed and fixed :) (so wait for 1.57) :bounce3:

[nodunit 397]

Are you furbily kidding me :eek:

As if it wasn´t enough that were getting crappyfied content...

I hope this is just an oversight in development and will be fixed.

If it bothers you so much then don't use it..nobody is forcing your hand really. .I'm just happy that they give us the DLC regardless of quality and let us use it, how many companies do you know of that would do that?

As per the quality..I'm not seeing any deteriorating from road quality and I checked all SUV's for quality, all except the PMC were original quality, the only thing effected was the XM8.

How about a few more content fixes? The Takistani soldiers dont have blood textures.. thats a major bug.. maybe you could look into the FOV on the BTR-60's driver position? It puts a perfectly good vehicle to waste..
