luemmel 20 Posted September 29, 2006 However, i think a great new Intel Core 2 Duo is the best CPU for a great ArmA feeling I hope so, but unfortunately the question is still open: will arma support core 2? otherwise we have to switch off one core - arrggh.

maxqubit 1 Posted September 29, 2006 Anybody know if I'll be able to play comfortably on lower settings with this computer?Pentium 4 2.4 GHz 1GB RAM ATI Radeon X1300 Roadrunner internet It will run but ... comfortably? I fear not, but who knows BIS does tweak it to extremes the last minutes and are you (and me;) in luck. From a preview: Quote[/b] ]Here I would note that the test PC isn’t a fresh one, but nor it is a weak one: P4 2.4 Ghz, 1 GB RAM, GeForce 6600 GT. And on this PC, the graphics could never - not even with lower settings – be drawn normally. This means that the game was either jerky or the object weren’t drawn on normal quality. You can see on the pictures, that the models are rough and the textures are slubbered. If I waited a little there – my HD was working non-stop – then more detailed models and textures were drawn.I think they will fix this. And in fact, this is the worst I can tell about ArmA. Because incidentally, the game is pretty nice. Edit: To relate this to my Elite experience. In Elite there is a cheat to cranck up the viewdistance. But it will (eventually) give you lots of degradation as mentioned above. So, my guess is that it is viewdistance related (how clever:) ... To come back on minimum specd pc's ... perhaps you CAN play comfortably if you very much reduce the viewdistance. But the viewdistance is part of the fun in ArmA, so that would be a pity.

dm 9 Posted September 29, 2006 Tooday is friday ! And i think we could expect some SURPRISE tooday... I hope we will all play arma demo this night ! Is this the same expectation you were posting about "something special" a few months ago? Seriously, don't get so excited and then you wont get so angry/upset/dissapointed when nothing happens...

Frans 0 Posted September 29, 2006 Its just that we have a lot of clues: -lack of official info since <snip> From the average forum users' point of view, there has been a lack of official info since the beginning of time itself. BIS may see that slightly different, though. I wouldn't say that not hearing what you want to hear when you want it is "a clue". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dm 9 Posted September 29, 2006 Its just that we have a lot of clues: -lack of official info since GCS -Placebo announcement -Result of the competition... Remember: Calm is before the tempest. And how long was there no info for before the GC? Then how long did we go without info before that? Placebo makes regular announcements, so what does that have to do with anything? And as far as I can see, ArmA was not a prize in the competition, so why should that have any relevance on anything? Oh, and rather ironically, we're having a pretty good thunderstorm here right now. Gotta love mother nature eh We'll get what we're given, when its given to us. No use bitching/whineing/pineing here about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dm 9 Posted September 29, 2006 You know, a lot of games dont release a demo until AFTER the game its self is released... The only people who really know if/when there will be a demo is BIS, so making statements like "its Friday and there will be a demo" or "there will be a demo in a month" really is just starting more groundless specualtion and hype, leading to more dissapointment...
