Stop acting like a 10 year old. The mouse turning thing: Turn of vsync in your driver settings And ArmA is an incredibly heavy game (400km island, enormous amount of soldiers in 1 map compared to other games, huge viewdistance (games like HL2/splinter cell have a viewdistance of what? 100 or 200meters?). Let me tell you: Noone here runs this game on that resolution with >30FPS, so you should turn it down, if you dont.. Well, then indeed, you have to turn down other things, thats quite logical Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crackersficus 0 Posted January 6, 2007 Well have you seen the bug list? its huge... also.... wtf is with the sound, very poor job, they still talk like robots. and not to mention that you cant reload without at least walking or moving, still lame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bangtail 0 Posted January 6, 2007 Honestly, all the bitching is getting tiresome. If you play around with the settings (and provided you have a semi decent rig), you can get ArmA running properly and thats a fact. I know 10 different people with 10 different configs and they are all playing the game and enjoying it. There are too many people in here with old rigs and high expectations. This isn't BF2 etc. You arent going to run it @ 1920 x 1200 with details maxed etc. You couldn't do it with OFP when it was initially released and you can't do it with ArmA. I'm more than willing to help people with legitimate problems but use some common sense before posting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you play around with the settings (and provided you have a semi decent rig), you can get ArmA running properly and thats a fact. That's not a fact at all - I've been fiddling around with it for weeks and get terrible performance no matter what settings I use. The framerate is just as poor on 1280x1024 as it is on 1680x1050 - and this is with an E6600, 8800GTS, 2gig DDR2 ram. I was on the demo earlier with a few friends and I was barely hitting 20fps!

Something is wrong then, your system should run the game with no problems. I know people who are running it with no problems using rigs similar to yours.

-CS-SOBR-1st-I-R- 0 Posted January 6, 2007 Well... to make my contribution to this. I think I need to support whiskey ... I have a rather slow pc (xp2000+ (1.66 Ghz, 1 gig ram @ FSB 266, radeon 9600pro) but the game is quite playable on medium on this machine. The only explanation I have for this is the use of SATA RAID0 ! I realized oul ofp was demanding on HDs and after a change it went smooth like whatnot ^^ My average HD speed is 100 MB/s so.... if you want to run arma smooth, get yourself a RAID0 system.

He also mentioned the "Demo" which I think has a problem, I'm on a 3500+ @ 2.4Ghz 6800GT 256MB and 1GB Ram. Running CTF in the demo I always seem to be stuck around 20 - 22 FPS and thats from changing all options from Low to High and back etc. Even lower or higher resolutions barely makes any difference in framerate. Looking into the sky with nothing in view my FPS only goes up to mid 30's while in the full version it jumps up a lot higher. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeMeSiS 11 Posted January 6, 2007 also.... wtf is with the sound, very poor job, they still talk like robots.and not to mention that you cant reload without at least walking or moving, still lame. At least they talk, i dont know any other games where they talk properly (excect screaming 'grenade' or whatever) The reloading things is done on purpose. All your complaints are just stupid too be honest, are you sure you even liked OFP? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crackersficus 0 Posted January 6, 2007 i loved OFP..... it was the best game out at the time, played it for three years almost, and i was really excited about arma, until i played it, honestly, stop being fanboys and realize that this game need urgent fix, and should not have been released when it was. this is like a beta... its terrible.

crackersficus 0 Posted January 6, 2007 wow! just tried to play the demo and what happened, crash to desktop before it reached the menu..... whoops forgot to change my audigy card to game mode, why is this game so buggy why!?!?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddmatt 1 Posted January 6, 2007 i will not be buying this game, im getting c2d and various errors because my sound card isnt set to game mode.... So what? Why would you want to play it without your sound card in Game Mode? It's like 3 mouse clicks to change modes, and you can get a program that does it for you. Some people just don't make sense.

I'm using a E6700, 2GB RAM and GF7950GX2 and getting mostly 50-55fps at 1280x1024 after I made a real SLI-profile with nhancer. Earlier I got 30 fps in the same places.
