The Omega Man 10 Posted June 25, 2009 Q6600 @ 3.2ghz4GB DDR800 8800GTS 512mb overlocked Vista x64 Nvidia 186.18 WHQL Benchmark results at 1440x900 3d resolution 1440x900 Default "Very High" setting = 35fps average I have pretty much the same specs but my monitor is 1860 x 1050 I wonder how it will run, i've been downloading the demo since it came out and it's still a good 4 more hours to go...

Windexglow 10 Posted June 25, 2009 GTX260 - 1440x900 All settings on very high except for: Terrain Texture : Medium Antritropyicing - low AA - none 26fps in bench Overall, I'm very impressed with the demo. Feels very well polished, but seems to have some bugs. I tried the "warfare" module (simply placed it down) and the game got stuck during loading. I waited several minutes, but the game had not started. However, beyond that no other problems. The ai is radically better - even a simple small town fight is impressive now. Air (you only get helicopters, no jets in the demo!) is really improved. Infantry combat is also *gee, guess the next word* improved. Weapons seem to have better recoil, so the enemy isn't laying down sniper fire from an ak47 anymore. Performance wise, I'm very impressed. Loading times are short, and I get better performance in this game than I did in arma. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GunnDawg09 10 Posted June 25, 2009 AMD Phenom 9600 - 2.30GHz Quad-Core 4GB DDR2 Corsair XMS RAM Nvidia 9800GTX+ Cant seem to find balance between FPS and Graphics. It seems to run "decent" FPS but doesnt look all that impressive. Its basically got a FPS/Visual switch between Normal/High settings on my rigs. So not much balance when tweaking things so far. Unfortunately if I cant find a happy medium to enjoy the demo, then I may not go ahead and purchase...sadly :( ..Surely my rig should be able to run this beauty of a game, right?

Netherscourge 10 Posted June 25, 2009 hi guys, i'm totally new to arma, never played any version before. ive been really looking forward to trying it though.so i finally installed the demo and the textures look really weird, like something is horribly wrong. i tried with default settings and also lowering and raising the quality. could someone explain how to fix this? http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q295/macmeister92/ArmA2Demo2009-06-2509-55-48-58.jpg http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q295/macmeister92/ArmA2Demo2009-06-2509-56-05-41.jpg http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q295/macmeister92/ArmA2Demo2009-06-2509-56-15-65.jpg I thought i had a pretty good system so that shouldnt be the problem. Intel Xeon Quad Core @ 2.80ghz 8gb RAM @ 800mhz nvidia 8800GT 320Gb HDD @ 7200rpm Windows 7 RC (all latest drivers and patches for windows and for nvidia) thanks! That looks like a driver issue. Maybe you need to roll back to an older one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't speak for the demo nor your specific rig but for me a lot of tweaking with settings on my video card, trying different drivers,trying different fillrates(under your resolution box) defragging the HD, using the -maxmem command, and using Armaholic's optimization tweak signifigantly improved things. 8500 oced' 3.8 4870 oc'ed 790/1100 4 gigs 800 ram vista 64 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maniac86 0 Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) I downloaded the demo off of steam and when i go in game there's no sound PS. does anyone know how you find the way point cause in boot camp i cant see the way point anywhere I have the same exact problem, no sound whatsoever (and yes my speakers are on and plugged in, I can even run a music file or a movie, no problems except for demo!) BTW I got it through steam as well, downloading normal ZIP file from fileplanet, will update tonight to see if there is a diff. I also noticed that while the game looks great, in the player creation screen, all the textures are missing for the glasses (ie: sunglasses and such are white or bright yellow solid color) Please address this issue, I will refuse to play the greatness that is Arma II unless I also get the excellent sound that they seem to have put in this game (cant wait to hear that doppler effect with fast moving vehicles!)

MQ-9 Reaper 10 Posted June 25, 2009 The demo is great, it was worth the wait ! Thanks BIS :party: It is a bit ugly but it runs better than I expected on my outdated PC. And more importantly, I have a lot of fun with it. There is everything I was expecting to see in the demo (by order of importance: mission editor, SP, MP) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
