Quote[/b] ]Maybe an odd Q..but can u climb over small walls in the AA..??

and can u soldier jump at all..??

No climbing over obstacles and no jumping, except jumping from a plane or helo

I've just got a hold of the Czech version of the game so if anyone wants me to test anything or try anything out and report back, I'd be happy to do so.

Its a double edges sword,you can have jumping and risk people pulling bunny hops and derail realism,or you can have no jumps,derail bunny hops,improve realism BUT get stuck on roof's. Personally,I'd take the latter,since it seems that parachutes are mostly what causes this,just don't give helicopter pilots parachutes and make parachutes steerable. Once that is done,if you get stuck on the roof its your own fault.

BIS will not let us alone without patches.

That is not what BIS is known for.

Have you noticed, how active the dev`s are in this forum?

Does anyone know if the files need for the dedicated servers will be out just after the German release, or has nothing been said yet.

hi, im currently running armed assault with:

Intel Pentium D 820 2.80 GHZ

1gb Ram

Nvidia Geforce 7300 GS

Win XP: SP 2

And Direct X 9.0c

And i've been playing on low setting with good fps, but prone to crashes and graphical bugs, just wondering if i bought a Radeon X800 would my game improve?

Thanks In Advance

Can anyone comment on the death animations?

If they're new or not.

I was just curious, i'd kind of like to see them impliment a type of havok physics thing for death animations.

Looks better than the old OFP "die in this way" animations.

Especially the ones when you'd kill a guy proned out, and it would look like he'd get hit and then decide to lay down his gun and nap.

New death anims, but anims.

[*actionhank* 1]

Well, that's better than nothing!

Thanks for the info!

Maybe someday they can use the physics engine to take over in place of the animations.

X800 is not a big improvement over 7300, in fact it could be even worse.

There were reports of some pretty shoddy video cards running ArmA pretty well.

However this is only true for the Czech version. The german version has severe preformance issues, maybe because of securom maybe not, but you cannot get FPS better then 20 with the bugged german version, so wait until they fix that issue (if you plan to buy deutsch).

I have a question that doesn't really warrant a new thread.

Will there be a demo out for the English speaking regions?

Hmmm already been posted mate... There will be a demo apparently what placebo said.

[Myst9999 0]

Ah, I found what you referenced to.

Well, the games out in 2 regions already, I would think the demo should be out by December.

PERFORMANCE

Athlon XP3400+ (socketA)

non-dual 1GB RAM

ATI X800XT 256MB AGP

terain,model,drawing = very high

texture detail = low

posprocess = low

AF,AA,Shadows = off

Blood = max

visible distance=1200m

resolution = 1280x1024

Game works fine.

IMPORTANT!

In control panel for graphicscards its necessary to made following:

1) turn everything to performance (not quality)

2) unselect/disable options like "let application choice" settings everything must be set on PERNAMENT PERFORMANCE

3) disable all AA or AF or other features like that

4) select choice double buffering (not tripple)

5) DENY V-sync !!! (turn V-sync PERNAMENT OFF!!!

6) close all not-necessary programs running on your computer behind

For ATI users this works very nice but sometimes game crash, but for this is not "cure" at this time.

OT, but why are you quoting me? I didn't even say that.

Do you have to install Gamespy to play this online. Or does it have its own ingame browser

I'd be interested in seeing a screen grab of this setup.

and would you mind answering why switch off shadows as they play an importnat part in immersion like shadows in forests and under bushes, or are the shadows just attached to 'characters' and not landscape?

Does any have any guess on how well Armed Assault will run on my computer?

AMD64 3000+

6600GT 256MB

1 Gig of ram

Preferably 1024X768.

[oiler 0]

6600 is slow problem for arma.

Get another Graphics card and update 1 gig memory to 2 gig and you should be ok then.
