White_Hat 0 Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) I'm very disappointed, I thought there would be beta tester customer support :rolleyes: but instead they temporarily switched the official board off!Same like White_Hat, the game is uninstalled and on the shelf. What annoys me a little is that there is no "official" word regarding this problem (as of others like switching of the motion blur which makes some ppl nauseous). A small "We are aware of the problem, working on it and it will be fixed in one of the next patches!" would be really nice. Instead the forums are shut down because the release of a patch for one country drains so much performance? Hence an international release? No, shutting down the forums after a buggy release is not a good costumer policy whatsoever! ...and by the way the official German forums, which are provided by the German publisher, are not such a big help because the official policy over there seems to be "There is nothing wrong with the game, ppl are just to dumb using their puter!!" and "bugs" you reporting are getting appeased by the mods.

ohara 0 Posted June 2, 2009 Can you try to turn off postrprocesing, set fillrate on 100 and turnoff filtering? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some ppl say the 182.50 driver worked for them fixing the problem, but it worked for no one with a 7950 GT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
White_Hat 0 Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) Can you try to turn off postrprocesing, set fillrate on 100 and turnoff filtering? Hmm i can´t turn off the postprocessing in the options, i can only set it to low. Am i supposed to be able to turn off postprocessing in the options? Fillrate is set to 100!

bushlurker 46 Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) Can you try to turn off postrprocesing, set fillrate on 100 and turnoff filtering? I wish..... Post Processing CAN'T be turned off! - if you know of a way, please tell!! Fillrate on 100% = 4fps for me Turn off filtering??? I don't think I have a "filtering" control either... Hmmmmmm you're a BI Developer Ohara?? - maybe you have a different game for the rest of us..... :D Edited June 2, 2009 by Bushlurker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sturmvogel262 0 Posted June 2, 2009 Filtering is on 100%. But i cant turn off Postprocessing...i can only set it to low but that doesn't help. And i have no option called filtering. Maybe i should change something in the config file??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SilverSteel 0 Posted June 2, 2009 I tried almost every possible setting in ArmA to get rid of it but that is not possible! If you want to have a perfect simulator for short-sightedness try the highest setting for post processing :eek: on this level it is blurred constantly but you still see the flickering.

Mark-TQM 10 Posted June 2, 2009 Got the same problem myself: Nvidia Geforce 7900, 182.5 drivers 3GB DDR2 Ram Asus P5 Motherboard Pentium Core 2 Duo 3.4ghz Have tried all different graphic settings and only way to get rid of it is to use third person view. Tried turning filtering off, high etc. Tried all settings on different levels. Like the others though theres no option to turn postprocess effects off, only low.

mr.g-c 6 Posted June 2, 2009 Another guy in the Community Bugtracker has this Problem as well... He has a GF7900GO Mobile Graphics Card - coincidence? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bushlurker 46 Posted June 2, 2009 oops... THAT filtering... Anyway.... theres plenty of Arma2-induced graphics wierdness going on, but I don't think this flickering is one of them... This looks awful like an Nvidia issue to me... I haven't seen any ATI cards mentioned so far... Generally, Nvidia are fairly good with updates - as are BIS in fact... Its VERY early days yet - lets see whats resolved with the next updates from BOTH parties... B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
White_Hat 0 Posted June 3, 2009 Can you try to turn off postrprocesing, set fillrate on 100 and turnoff filtering? ...and yeah filtering is turned off since my system isn´t exactly a sprinter!;) What about my question? Should we be able to turn off the postprocessing in the options? Since you asked about it and belong to BI..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SilverSteel 0 Posted June 3, 2009 What i wonder most is, why is it more visible on the right side of the screen? First I thought there is something wrong with the programming because the weapon is on the right side too. The weapon never stands still, it is always moving a bit due to natural behavior, and the game recognize this as moving and blurs the environment like when you turning. On third person view the game doesn't recognize this as moving and doesn't blur the world. But on the other hand it is also still there when you play a soldier without a weapon...... Since it is worse with post processing on the highest level, there could be a chance that the flickering will disappear when we could turn off post processing???

White_Hat 0 Posted June 3, 2009 I managed to get the flickering also in the TPV! Right now i onlay play around in TPV, since FPV is unplayable for me, so when i once zoomed my weapon to the ironsight-mode when i changed my mag ArmA2 zoomes out (so i can watch my avatar changing his mag) et voilá there was the flickering in TPV. So BI what diffrence is in the graphics between the TPV and the FPV because that seems to be the problem? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xmongx 0 Posted June 3, 2009 Me too as untill i upgrade i have a 7950GT. I have seen this behaviour before when trying to add motion blur to fallout 3 via the enbseries.dll, exactly the same behaviour. Pulsing that affects the full screen but oddly seems more prevelant on the right. I think this is a problem with the 7 series hardware, the chap with the 8800 is most likely not getting this exact behaviour but rather suffering the blur that kicks in at low fps. It will be unplayable in first person, the fact that it is not there in third person or when you hit escape and open gfx options means it may be fixable but its probable that the only solution would be offering the option to disable motion blur and maybe depth of field.

bushlurker 46 Posted June 3, 2009 (edited) I AM that 8800 chap! :) My flickering issue is at its most noticable on the main titles cutscene with the aircraft carrier - no "blur" - no motion... its a cutscene... Its a steady flickering the full height of the right hand- most third of the screen... I DO have low FPS - about 10 or so at that point usually, but I don't think its related.....

White_Hat 0 Posted June 5, 2009 Any news on a fix for this? Yesterday i tried a MP match and since the server was hosting in veteran mode i couldn´t change to TPV, horrible experience due to the flashing an flickering i was almost blind. ...and what about the final 1.01 patch? Shouldn´t it come out this week? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
