(if you still get any crashes, it's very important for us to get server's mdmp,bidmp,rpt files

Detail of 3D ocean waves is dependent on terrain detail...everything above normal might be to much with large view distance.

[stk2008 14]

I have terrain detail at lowest (i never like the grass LOL) and my VD is 2500m whice has been since I got arma many many years ago.

I never use to have this just recently after trying the last two beta`s :(

Spec

Q6700

ATI 4890

4gb ram

I dont have any thing cranked up tbh not more than I have done since I got arma like I said so why is it playing up now :(

Thanks

[102106] Fixed: Joystick state reset on start

Seems to run fine! Huge thanks for this fix!

@ stk2008;

No issue with the Sea off Cherno. I get my Vsync(85hz) 85fps. Max settings. VD2500... Is there a particular place you test this at? I looked out at the Sea by the houses in South Elektro.

Well with PP on max (I rarely run PP during the day), I loose 15fps, but I expect that. All the nice sun/glare, bloom.

opps had PP off

Still having issues with hanging at 'waiting for host'. Completely hangs my Arma2oa.exe so much so that i need to restart.

Forum Post regarding issue.
