ArmA2 Demo Release Today - 2PM GMT - 3PM CET - 6:00 AM PST

[Arasaka 10]

Well ironically I received my actual copy today.

That said, some of my friends were not so lucky. I know that at present the retail and demo versions of the game are different, but if they hotfix it will that mean that demo players will be able to play with retail game owners, or will I need to have the retail and demo installed in order to play with my friends until they receive their own retail copies?

[Placebo 29]

Demo and retail are not compatible.

[battles_atlas 10]

Hi just installed the demo and have no sound at all. Have realtek high def audio, and have updated to latest version, but still no sound.

Running vista 64 sp.3, E8400 core 2 duo, and downloaded through steam

[pogoman979 10]

Kinsman over at gsa had a stab at making up a config for a gsa demo dedicated server, but everyone who joins the server crashes within 3 minutes. anyone got a working config?

[[aps]gnat 28]

AWESOME

It was what I was expecting and more.

The "Unable to find setup01.bin" error turned out to be downloading the demo with IE. Had to use a downloader program.

In the Benchmark Mission I got: 22

WinXP Pro 32bit

DirectX 9.0c

Duo 2.13Ghz

2GB Ram

GeForce 8800GTS 640MB card

driver 6.14.11.7516

Running 1680x1050

Most setting on Normal, with Shadow and PostPro on High.

Even at these lower FPS, seems MUCH more fluid than ArmA1

The slight blur (or is it low res LODs ? ) will take some getting used to. Until I get a new system I guess.

Well done BIS

[Killerwatt 0]

From My previous post but is more relevant here.

Ive just been running the benchmark mission a few times and thought I would present my findings. First off here are my rig settings.

Antec Nine Hundred Two Case,

Sapphire Radeon HD 4870 Vapor-X 2GB,

Akasa PowerMax 850W Power supply,

Asus P6T Motherboard LGA1 366 Intel X58 ATX RAID SA,

Intel Core i7-920 D0 Step Processor (8M Cache),

Corsair XMS3 3GB (3x1024M B) DDR3 Memory 1600MHz,

Noctua NH-U12P CPU Cooler SE1366,

LG GH22NP20 22x DVDRW/ RAM,

Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1.5TB Hard Disk Drive 72 (Two),

SB Audigy SE OEM Creative Sound Blaster,

Windows XP Home Edition. updated to SP3

No overclocking done and everything running at stock speeds but I disabled the soundcard and used the onboard sound.

With each different setting I ran the benchmark three times just to be sure as there are minor variations in the action each time.

First I set everything to max and distance at 10000m.

Results were 16FPs

18FPs

19FPs

Next was a more realistic distance of 3500m.

Results were 25FPS

25FPS

25FPS

Next was a smaller distance of1600m.

Results were 26FPS

26FPS

27FPS

Next I turned down texture detail to high, AA to normal, Shadows to high. and finally disabled post processing.

Results at 10000m were 27FPS

28FPS

27FPS

Results at 3500m. were 41FPS

41FPS

41FPS

Results at 1600m were 50FPS

51FPS

52FPS

Im not going to pass any comments or opinions on the demo. I am only presenting you with a rough guide as to what you can expect with different setups. I hope it helps someone get an idea of how their rig should be performing.

[RUDOLF 9]

As to FPS,not only just settings of quality, but also how many troops you put in the game and on what map.

For my game in ARMA, when I played in FDF map for troops of In44Mod. I put around one company of infantry and one company of tanks and several supporting units on US side. And one company of German and one platoon of tanks with several supproting units on German side. The FPS could be below 20 and sometimes would be below 10, such as 8,9. But only if it could keep above 15FPS, the speed still seems fast.

So is your team's AI on veteran supposed to be completely incompetent? I've played the Trial by Fire scenario probably 10 times in a row now and every time my team runs into the first village they get shot to hell and then they all bitch at me to come heal them. Which of course leads to me getting shot.

I've tried everything I could think of but time and time again they all get pwnt like bloody noobs. :rolleyes:

While I was playing it, I got the feeling it was designed that way to practice dragging, carrying, and healing.

Have anybody tried to add addons to their demo's addon folder?

[Jeremy_D 10]

Guys I have all day to waste (after some golfing) If I set up the keys the way I want them in the demo would I be able to move that to the game tonight when I finally get it? thanks.

[Mc Speedfreak 10]

"should" be easy... i havent seen the demo but "technically" the config file should be the same... just copy and paste the text into the new one once the game is installed...

[Jeremy_D 10]

where exactly is the config file stored? Thanks

Well that might explain the title "trial by fire" I suppose. I kept restarting cause I thought I did something wrong.

[TCEd 0]

Wow im impressed, i expected it to run like crap but im able to play everything at high-very high no problems.

Im just having issues of getting dizzy and the affects are making me sick? how do i fix that?

To turn off motion blur & bloom, turn post processing to "disable"

@ Placebo...

Sorry,like many I was up all night waitng to get a start on it and was VERY upset when the tracker went down.

I also had 2 HTTP downloads running yet with everything added up was less than 1/4 of my d/l speed.

@ Some kind of guy...

I know how torrents work.

The address I posted came dirrectly from the torrent file.

The thing is when I rebooted the computer the tracker said the file was "not registered with tracker"...it was not ever going to reconnect without the tracker knowing it was a vaild file.

The fact that those -already connected- are still transfering information is because they were connected befor the tracker dropped the file.

Here is the whole .torrent file for you to inspect:

Still have a HTTP connection to AU and after running that all day yesterday,and all night,it says another 4 hours to go.

I have to drive over the boarder into Oregon today (4 hours/200+ miles) so I am really hopeing to see a full and uncorrupted file when I get back.

I have been trying this for almost 24 hours now guys so pleace forgive me if I was sounding a bit short yesterday...because I was!
