Performance in Armed Assault

[sgt gul 0]

First of all i want to say hi to everyone here, i am new to these forums. I have been following it since couple of days, i registered just yesterday. Anyways i have bought Armed Assault from a website, spootch or something? I have the English version patched up to 1.05 I am waiting for the official 1.07 patch release. I have some performance issues. I cant play it with reasonble framerates even on normal/low settings :S my specs are:

P4 2.66

1gig memory

ATI X1600 256 MB

I have disabled many things in the optionsmenu, but still no succes. Is this a common problem for most users? I dont have a super computer but with these stuff i should be playing it atleast good at normal settings?

Any help would be great. thanks

Nope, you really need a 512 meg card for the eye-candy. Try setting everything to low, and then see what settings you can increase. Blood shouldn't have much of an impact, but shadows will. There's not much difference between shadows on low and on normal, so you may as well set those as low as possible.

I have everything on low except blood, anisotropic filtering, post processing, and texture detail. I have an x850 ce 256 meg. Our cards are similar in many respects.

I see, ill set everything on low except blood then. What resolution do you use? Can i put it on 1024 then?
