Mobious 0 Posted December 2, 2006 I just got ARMA and so far I like it.. The Helicopters will take alot of getting use to like when you kick in the tail roter the helicopter banks...Strange! but I can live with it.. I did find 2 things that Erked me... The first thing is you cant reload your weapon while running.. When I hit the reload button in a dead run the guy stops covers down and reloads.. This is not good. I mean cant our guys pat their heads and rub their stomachs at that same time? The other thing is on one of the sp mission you had to drive a truck to pick up some troops.. When driving the truck in first person its like the guy is sitting on some phone books and not looking directly out the front window but more like a 45 degree down angle...Is it just me? Over all the game looks great.. I cant wait until I get everything setup and tweaked.. Ohh as for the fx settings...Everything is on high.. Res is set at 1152x864..View distance is around 2100m...I didnt notice any slow downs or lag..I didnt have fraps on so I didnt check the fps.. System. Amd Athlon 64 3400 2 gig ddr400 2x seagate 250gb (Raid 0) GF 7800 GT 256mb SB Audiogy X Gamer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What is the highest you can go while still running smooth? Your complaints have been mentioned before, you'll just have to wait for the patch. Also, a 1.01 patch is out so remember to use that unless you got the download version from Morphicon which already has it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mobious 0 Posted December 2, 2006 Yeah i just did the buy and download so it is patched to 1.01.. I dont know how high I can go... I will give it a try...But I did just try it with fraps and my fps was around 30 most of the time in MP.. I am having a hard time getting use to this blur in game..and the changing light conditions like when a cloud covers the sun for a second lol.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mobious 0 Posted December 2, 2006 I bumped the view distance to 5000m and really noticed some performace loss.. So I set it back to around 3500m and all is fine.. one question.. How the heck to you get the hellfire to track to a target? lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How the heck to you get the hellfire to track to a target? lol 3500m sounds good . Some overclocking should get it higher. As for the hellfire, well I don't have the game so I can't help you. I saw another post somewhere saying that it was bad at tracking targets, so I guess you're not alone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bunkers 0 Posted December 2, 2006 Maybe I only need a new gfx card then. I have AMD 64 3500+ 2gb pc3200 ram and a 6800GS 256mb and it definitely does not run smooth on high. I need to go low details and 1024 res to go with the flow.. Oh yeah.. and <2000 view distance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
