[froggyluv 2136]

So far only ran ArmaMark and I'm finally getting some 50's in those scores which I never got before. Patch 102 had knocked my old mark from 3800 down to 3400. Now, I'm getiing 4150.

Pretty nice, but the proof is in the AI for me :D

Is there flares in arma 2???

[Shinobi575 10]

not the kind of flare your thinking of.

[PuFu 4600]

same performance as with 1.02. No difference whatsoever. I will try the 190.56 drivers, see if that does any magic tricks

[Relemar 10]

not the kind of flare your thinking of.

oh shame, i waiting for ace mod

[PuFu 4600]

Is there flares in arma 2???

In fact the scripts are already in ArmA2

[Big Dawg KS 6]

Is there flares in arma 2???

Have been since OFP... for illumination.

[Relemar 10]

I can't seem to get extended eventholders to work though, it says wrong verison.. ;[

[convoker 0]

Still 10-15 fps without any reason on low-med settings, hangs, lags, CTD's...

my system specs on sysProfile

[fideco 1]

Same performance 1.02

Old problems with ATI card remain

AI improvement:hard to say..

Very disappointed

Cheers

Since updating, my graphics card has overheated 3 times - never did that with 1.2 However my fps is roughly the same.

GTX260

Latest driver

Maybe it's just unlucky today.

Scared now, have GTX260 with latest drivers, patch downloading now

[randir14 10]

Maybe I'm imagining things but it seems like Chernogorsk runs a lot smoother. Certain foliage like the red trees and bushes still cause low FPS when AA is enabled.

[Shinobi575 10]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v359/Demon575/island.jpg added more onto Utes, ididnt read that in the notes,

It's a bug that's been along since the game came. If you first load chernarus and then utes the island up north will appear.

[Shinobi575 10]

Oh, i had big plans for a capture the island on utes, oh well.

[pauliesss 2]

I have to agree, there is absolutely no difference in FPS for me comparing to version 1.02......what a disappointment for me...:mad:

[manzilla 1]

I got about 2-3 FPS improvement but to be honest I've been running the game with everything on the high settings with the exception of 7500VD and the game ran great in v1.02(performance wise). I wasn't expecting much of a boost for me but I surprised others haven't reported any boost. Usually there's a little bit of one when they release a new patch.

[enforcer1975 0]

This game needs at least 5 more patches to be working smoothly like it did in A1.

[eJay 1]

Nothing big in performance change. Maybe I've got 3-4 fps extra in the air, but on the ground it works good and bad, as in 1.02.
