binkster 0 Posted June 4, 2009 (edited) This is an old mission from Toadlife from back in the OFP days. All scripting and idea's are his. Mr. Burns Converted this over to ArmA and now I converted to ArmA2 with a few small changes. For those who did not use this in ArmA, this little mission will give us a good idea on which systems run ArmA2 the best. Here is the original thread from 2003 back in the ofp days. I suggest a standard on settings Everything on Normal and Fillrate should be 100%. View distance doesnt matter since the mission will automatically set this. First You should Post specs You can just copy and paste what I have and place your own specs. I only think CPU, Ram, GPU, and the operating system is important we can leave the rest out. If you want to try it on High as well go ahead and post the settings and scores. I suggest posting a screenshot of your score to prove your scores.

Guest Posted June 4, 2009 Excellent news, I cant wait to see the scores with system specs as I am currently gathering all kind of data to upgrade my system to handle Arma 2 good enough (can't afford a whole system change this time since I just bought a new Harley :D ) Release frontpaged at the Armaholic homepage.

NoxNoctum 10 Posted June 4, 2009 Was Toadlife the guy who was releasing epic missions for the original OFP DEMO? (which came with editing tools) I vaguely remember that... he was blowing everyone's mind with missions based off the fucking demo prior to the release .

dvolk 10 Posted June 4, 2009 Q6600 at 2.6ghz 4GB DRR2 Gigabyte 4850 1GB Windows XP 1650x1080 All settings normal, low postprocessing score 2524 But I think the score is deceptive, because the problem isn't FPS (20-40 almost always), but the fact that it's often halts (drops to 0fps) for half a second or so, usually when I'm moving but often when I'm only looking around. It works fine on the small island, is playable in campaign, but for some reason it's simply awful in MP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is because the terrain/objects data cannot be read from the hard drive fast enough which means you need to defrag or get a faster drive. Its best to install ArmA in its own partition or even better on its own drive. Edited June 4, 2009 by EDcase Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
