Cold War Rearmed v0.36 released

[topas 1]

one quick question; is the grass on Malden supposed to be yellow? just asking because I do not have QG or lowplants; yet it's just like grass from Porto.. is it the way it's meant to be??

edit: and yeah... it crashes to often

[FriX 0]

There is so much ppl involved in development of CWR that the lack od content is disappointing.

3 questions:

- Why now?

- Why so little conten? I know its a demo but how long is this in development?

- Was it so dificult to retexture A-10?!

Some things i notice:

- Grass on Malden = large fps drop

- Random crashes

What i dislike:

- 1:1 ports form OFP (M60, Jeep, LAW..) whit hidius low quality textures from ofp.

- still no T-80, Hind :P

- M1A1, M113, T-72 form ArmA whit no additional/new content cant feel the 80's style where is the red star?!

- Grass on Malden... HIDIUS!!!

What i like:

- Malden ftw!

- BDU soldiers

- BMP-1

- Missions

My personal opinion.

[Spoock 3]

yeah random crashes have too, Grass on Malden is so cool

They have the rest of "OFP" in the works, this is supposed to only have the units that was in the official OFP-demo.

I think this demo is a good idea as we now can play on Malden until the whole package comes out.

I do agree about the yellow grass thou, would prefer it more white-grey-brown..

But I'm happy! Perfect christmaspresent

[berghoff 11]

But the grass on malden seems so terribly ...yellow ?

Well imo this grass does'nt look so good, should be replaced by sarhani one.

We did that to match the yellowish ground texture, believe me the sahrani gras looks even worse on there.

I didn't notice any ctd in my last session yesterday, maybe something changed meanwhile.. perhaps check your rpt for messages.

This is so cool, I had to turn up the heating!

The feeling is fantastic, nothing beats the cold war!

Performance is a bit low, any idea why?

Otherwise it's GREAT!!

Thank you SO MUCH CWR Team, I wish you all a happy christmas!

Fröhliche Weihnachten!

MfG Lee

only one question...

how the heck do i start it with kegetys arma launcher together with other mods?

i tried to start it as a normal mod folder but as soon as i tried to preview a mission in the editor (no other addons then the CWR stuff used) on malden i got a instans CTD...

also... WHY do you use the old OFP sounds on the weapons?

i understand you want to make it exactly as ofp but please... cant you atleast make it an improved OFP?

so it´s like what OFP should have been when it was first released but with the things (the hardware, models and stuff you know) that we actualy had in OFP?

it´s a very nice peace of work but.. it still holds the same amount of bugs as OFP did when it was first released (or maybe even more), but i accapt that since i understand you rusched the release of the demo despite numerous new bugs that where found after the 1.09 beta patch was out...

i have no illusions that you wont fix all the problems to the full release though, this is as stated only a DEMO!

now, merry x-mas to all of you and take a good few days vacation atleast until the next year

[jasono 0]

The mod launcher needs to be setup to run 1.09 as well I think. So -mod=beta and /beta/arma.exe.

[andersson 285]

In the Malden intro, the US soldiers never attacks. They are just standing there and the M113 is just idling.

My Problem is the Performance. With the same Options as ARMA, i`m have a drop of 15-20FPS.

otherwise absolutely stunning.

Greeting Bensdale

[Wiciu 0]

Fantastic work guys!

small hint : If you want original OFP sounds in cutscenes you can extract them from original OFP mission. Audio files have the same names

[Guest Ti0n3r]

I believe that lowplants don't work 100% with 1.09, since the grass and some vegetation (?) seems to have been changed. Is this correct?

I do get some performance loss in CWR, but I got that in ArmA too after 1.09

Having a trouble with fonts in main menu, editor, preference...

Game - Arma 1.08 (Russian 1.01 Akella Published + 1.05 + 1.08) + beta 1.09 + CWC 0.36

[andersson 285]

When playing Skirmish I got this errormessage.

I'm using 1.09b

Fun to play that mission again. Your own group die quite fast, and then you have to jump between the buildings.

If this was a arma mission I would probably feel more frustrated, but as its a OFP mission I somehow accept it better

But to finally reach that LAW and blast the BMP made my day! Memories..

[Cannon Fodder 0]

Few things to report...

- I can confirm crashes - certainly not randomly. At the point at which I am asked to leave the road and head into the trees in Ambush, I have a CTD. About 5 mins into the other mission in Houdan, I have a crash usually just as I am about to get close to the buildings themselves. Everywhere else is fine and beautiful.

- I also have the problem where the M113 just sits and does nothing in the intro sequence, while the checkpoint stands guard unaffected.

Have to say, though, can you do something about the Porto grass? It's absolutely murderous, and seems to both be more dense and stretch for a far longer distance than any of the others. I wonder if there can be a lowplants version released incorporating this, because right now it can take anything up to 15-20fps off the top, compared to regular ArmA (and the other vegetation - the trees and bushes - are far less dense).

Hey CWR team

I also have the same crash as Cannon Fodder, as soon as the guy says "Get off the road ..." after you meet Bravo squad, the game chokes to a halt and crashes, heres my ArmA RPT:

Hope that will help you out.

And i have to agree on the grass, if i enable grass i go from 60 FPS to 20 FPS If its possible to make some less performance hogging grass like the 1.09 patch did, i think it may be more useful for people. Otherwise the performance is AMAZING.

Once again, great job Im going to try the other mission now

Cheers CWR team!

When playing Skirmish I got this errormessage.

Have searched all files in the demo and can find no mention of any cgw1.jpg.

Might be some other addon you added or have in your main addon folder.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! Thanks... This is wonderful, a great christmas gift!!!

Even though I also get the CTD at the start of Ambush. With LowPlants, with it it and other mods running, and also running the game "clean" (just beta and CWR)...

But we'll survive this!

Once again: Thank you very much, CWR-Team!

Merry Christmas @ all!

[Cannon Fodder 0]

It's lowplants (and consequently the addition of Queen's Gambit). All my crashes were fixed by not using lowplants. I can now play both missions OK (just did some testing). Got past the crashing bit in Ambush etc.

The problem now being how the hell do I run this smoothly without the benefit of the normal maps being removed and the horrendous Porto grass? I suppose I could disable grass but that's one of the main benefits of ArmA... I could put it on low but it's still far more dense than anything else in the whole of ArmA...

Still, the is an excellent job guys - very well done. I just wish there was some way I could make use of lowplants. I haven't 'recompiled' since the upgrading to the beta and installing the CWR demo. Could it make a difference if I 'installed' lowplants again? Is anybody else running with lowplants without crashes? I can't be the only one, surely?

[stainer 0]

Fantastic release guys, had a bit of trouble with the Ambush mission, however it's very easy just to port the original OFP version over.

The yellow grass IMO looks like heather and suits Malden perfectly, however I do think it might be impacting performance. One other minor problem is that when boarding the jeep, the first passenger enters the seat behind the driver, not next to the driver as might be expected. Not a major issue just thought I'd raise it.

Yes, I use kegetys lowplant/ durgs veg-fix and a couple of islands (I have all my islands and lowplants/durgs veg-fix in the same modfolder). I cant see anything there that would give this error (but then again, TIA).

My main addonfolder is clean.

But I opened up the mission and there is nothing about a jpg.. It must be on my end..

This Is Arma

A Q, is the voices from Elite? I will use them in my "normal" arma!!

edit: It would be nice to have a database with converted missions.

THX ALOT CWR-TEAM !

(nice XMas-Eggs on the island)

first it crashed for me because of extra mods.

Later I played it without any problem (with some mods enabled).

ArmA (without QG) 1.09 beta

with mods:

MatH_ArmaEffects

6th Sense

TrueMods (some of them)

FDF_Sound

Sprintfix

DrugsVegetationFix

LowPlants (WITHOUT the grass fix so QG isn't needed ... even if it will not have any effect on the CW-Islands)

Like others said, performance is a bit low ...

something like LowPlants for CWR would be nice.

And the drawing of the grass goes very far.

I think it is good, that it is "just" a port so all the effect and Ai mods should still work with it.

THX again for the work. I am looking forward to the next releases.

Happy christmas days.

Hi, i've downloaded now the demo and i still have to try it with more

deep; but it loads; i get a error message telling me that "you need

ArmA 1.09" which now is just a Beta patch with a Hotfix that keeps

giving lots of problems to many players.

And after pass that error message... i get this one:

And then in the editor when i try to place an M1A1 in the map:

The grass is really weird, it's colour; in Chernovil they could

have that kind of weed, but i don't know where else. The vests

of the yankees have the back as distorted, the ripp stop cells

are banked upwards in diagonal and the camo pattern don't

matches on the sides. And there're some other few things, but

man... the OFP Editor menu wasn't so pixelated; i don't miss

the 2D wheel on that damn UGGLY willys and if don't were sad;

i'll had laugh when i seen all the yankee units equiped with

russian grenades and (again) without have all the equipment

slots filled. But what most hurt me... is that no one or no where

says (until you get an error message) you need the ArmA 1.09

to run this Demo. Let's C ya
