Physikz 10 Posted July 22, 2009 Disable Post Process Effects in video options to get rid of blurriness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doakwolf 10 Posted July 22, 2009 Yeah your GPU is pretty strong, but remember there are plenty of people with 4870X2s and GTX295s who aren't getting huge FPS with ArmA2. See my sig for my hardware/ ArmA performance. With the above comment, I might actually turn down the post process FX (I didn't know what that was previously) as the blur sometimes gets to me. I've also been playing in Vista 64 but after reading multiple comments about how the game seems to run better in XP, I'm planning a re-install tonight on XP (I have XP32 and Vista64 dual boot). Jero.

maka12 10 Posted July 22, 2009 got the blur off but game still runs bad, wonder what sort of system the team who made game were using , cause mine struggles. it seemed to play ok for the first 2 missions, it was the 3rd what killed it, the one where you got to kill sniper on roof, got to run game on normal to get decent frame rate and it looks terrible, looks like operation flashpoint 1. spent over a thousand pound on my system and cannot run a game smooth gonna try and get refund for this game, and wait on op2 .

-s!Gm4- 10 Posted July 22, 2009 amd phenom 2 x4 955 black edition => Known to cause troubles crosshair 3 mother board 8gm ram => Definitely causing troubles radeon ati 4870 x2 2gb => known to cause troubles windows vista 64 ultimate => known to cause troubles anyone give me any info thanks alot AFAIK your processor (Phenom II) is causing troubles ... at least some other ppl in this forum reported so. I'm not further informed about this issue cause I got an Intel.. so you might want to use the search function Your RAM definitely causes troule. Arma2 atm has the problem that the gfx-card (along with the RAM) is maldetected when you got 8 Gigs (localVRAM and nonlocalVRAm totally screw up). There are several solutions to this problem. The issue will be wholly solved (hopefully) with the next patch, though. So either its "Use workaround" or "wait for patch". There are also some ppl who complained about having problems with those 2 GPU cards, expecially those high ATI cards. I'm not into this one as well due to having a nvidia chip. So again, you might want to use the search function. Vista is also causing immense troubles. There are several reports around this forum that Win7 and WinXP are both better by miles for this game than Vista is. Some even reported a framerate increase by 15 or more fps by simply switching from Vista to Win7. So you might consider migrating to win7 as a first step.

ViperNL 10 Posted July 22, 2009 I have a Phenom II, highend ATI cards in crossfire AND im running vista, yet my game is running fine. So it might be the 8GB bug, but otherwise your game should be running like a dream (60fps+) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
