UK Release Version

Recommended Posts

if any of you "new guys" could toy with some of the single missions (especially that "Armored Fist" one) and see if they run/end properly, i'm sure a lot of people would appreciate it, including me. 4 out of 5 times that mission fails to end and it's never the player's fault. i hope they fixed that.

pc game reviewed the uk arma release too... complained that it wasnt finished and had broken code but highlighted its potential and said that in a few months time once BIS had actually finished it, it would be very very good...

currently its at 70%

Hand positions! That's probably the biggest visual thing about the game that annoys me greatly. Everything looks great and then you have these hands sticking through gun models. I seriously hope they come up with a way to fix the individual hand anims. It's 2007! sad_o.gif

so far i've only noticed it on the weapons with an M203, and of course that russian sniper rifle.

on all the other weapons it seems to be ok.

They mostly are. They have one generic hand position to fit them all which mostly works until you get a weapon that's held in a different way. It would be great if modders could have the capability to change the animations for individual weapons. It seems obvious when comparing to other games but I guess this engine, being based on such an old engine, that it's really hard to implement.

that is true. just wait until there is a gun with a vertical grip.

i remember other games having the same problem. was it Ghost Recon (1)? Joint Operations?

you can make the most beautiful screenshots, and a few fingers sticking through an M203 grenade launcher totally ruin it. sad_o.gif

In most other games they don't only model the weapons they model the arms and hands too, but in that type of game you aren't able to look down and see your own feet.

but they could make it possible to set the hand and arm position in the weapon config, but it would give some problems with the animations ingame

That SU-34 is gorgeous, even though I still don't understand why BIS decided to include it, over, say an SU-25 or...Hind whistle.gif

Both of which would be more realistoc to have as aircraft for a small nation like Sahrani

I suspect some (much?) of the content in ArmA was originally created for game2, and for whatever reason is now in ArmA.

Can anyone confirm what copy protection the UK version uses?

Starforce, SecuROM, or something else?

In case it hasn't been announced, here's how you can check if it's on your system:

SecuROM

"To see if the service is on your system: Start -> Run, then type 'services.msc'. When the services manager opens, look for UAService. Do not do anything with this as it will render any games installed that use SecuROM unplayable. This is just one way of finding out if it's installed."

Starforce

http://www.glop.org/starforce/detect.php

Now obviously this will only be able to check if it's on your computer, not the game, but if I can get a fair amount of people to check then we may assume which one, if any, Armed Assault uses. This is because, in my opinion, both Starforce and SecuROM are worth avoiding.

Agree. Neither Ka-50 nor Su-34 are exported to anywhere. That just doesn't go with the original plot of the game. Along with the old T-72s and BMP-2s there could be some Su-25s and Hinds...

nobody ever said we would be getting v1.04. they said they will release v1.05 about 2 weeks after the 505 release in order to get all versions of Arma in sync.

if you ask me, this is probably a marketing decision from 505...

"Desync" of that kind could happen in theory... but i hope to see 1.04 this weekend smile_o.gif
