antoineflemming 14 Posted August 6, 2011 GAME REQUIREMENTS - (Note that this may change ) - OS - Windows 7 / VistaI hope that does change. No XP no sale. Looks like you don't have many gaming options then. That's like someone 4 or 5 years ago saying they don't want to let go of Win98. Sometimes you gotta be willing to accept change.... Maybe you could get a new PC and load WinXP on that PC and use Win7 for ArmA and WinXP for all your other stuff.... Either way, I expect that the only changes will be support for other operating systems like Linux or Mac (maybe). There are somethings that old operating systems aren't programmed to support. ArmA3, with it's graphics, might not be able to run on WinXP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frostwyrm333 1 Posted August 6, 2011 xp is a historical, really its ancient, vista had some mistakes but 7 is just ok to use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kylania 567 Posted August 6, 2011 No XP no sale. Wow really? You insist on using an ancient and nearly unsupported OS? Windows 7 so incredibly better than XP ever was. Then again, if you're using a 15 year old PC I guess I could see thinking XP is the be-all-end-all. :butbut: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CarlGustaffa 4 Posted August 6, 2011 Enough with the exaggerations already. My PC is about 2-3 years old (Core2Duo 6600 @2.4GHz, 2GB ram), and couldn't run Win7 if my life dependent on it. I tried it for about a week and was furious about both performance and how bad I thought everything was. Although I have to upgrade hardware to run Arma3 on s newer DX, I would hope there were better alternatives than to upgrade also the OS. Looking at the next gen OS, I'm getting more and more convinced to just drop out of gaming and go Linux instead. Yes, call me old fashioned, and I'm still running XP in Win98 look, but I'm getting tired of constantly having to fight the OS I'm using, rather than let the OS make tasks easier and particularly more efficient. MS has gone the complete opposite way. And yes, this is my personal experience with it. If others think otherwise, it doesn't affect me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tried it for about a week and was furious about both performance and how bad I thought everything was. That's weird. I run Windows 7 on my HTPC, which has an Intel E5200 dual core, 2GB RAM and an NVidia GT240. Everything runs very smoothly, including 1080p video. This is with desktop effects like Aero enabled, btw.

ginger mcale 11 Posted August 8, 2011 or get smartAd block plus on Firefox No thanks. I rather watch/hear the ads instead of to steal it from them :rolleyes: Ad block kills the free internet. Pay for the interview (by accepting the ads). My 5 cents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CarlGustaffa 4 Posted August 8, 2011 what ad? The ustream.tv link. Nevermind, I ended up blocking them instead. I got like 2 seconds before switching to an ad with forced volume, which interfered with the let's play I'm currently watching. I'll have none of that - and yes, I know I'm probably overreacting, but commercials (especially forced) make me go ballistic :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
