Iroquois Pliskin 0 Posted June 27, 2010 I couldn't find this answered so please don't skewer me.I'm doing a fresh install of ArmA2 before installing OA. So should a person doing this do the following? 1. Install ArmA 2 2. Install ArmA2 OA 3. Install Patch 1.07 --OR-- 1. Install ArmA 2 2. Patch ArmA 2 to 1.07 3. Install OA. 4. Re-apply patch 1.07 Uh, Install Arma 2 Apply 1.00 to 1.07 Install Arma 2 OpArrowhead. Greetings from your neighbors, Titan, Saturn moon system. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jpinard 10 Posted June 27, 2010 Uh, Install Arma 2 Apply 1.00 to 1.07 Install Arma 2 OpArrowhead. Greetings from your neighbors, Titan, Saturn moon system. :D Why hello! I have a burning question maybe you can answer... do you have methane-based life-forms on your moon eating your Acetyline? ;) Also... I didn't think OA was v1.07, but the patch updated both games?

Noraf 0 Posted June 27, 2010 ummm, no, oa is version 1.5x, wile a2 is 1.07, so it just updates a2, not OA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They said they talked to other providers who are having the same problems. I tried the exThread=1 in my shortcut target, that did nothing. It has been brought up in the Troubleshooting forum, but as far as I can tell, there is no fix right now. If i'm wrong, please someone correct me!!

Logrey 10 Posted June 27, 2010 Note that it needs to be -exThreads=1 (with an "s" in "threads"). ya. typo on my part. i've been told that that command is aimed at client side, not server side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
randir14 10 Posted June 28, 2010 (edited) I cant join any servers with 1.07. I can get to the role/class selection screen, but when I continue the loading screen gets to 75% and hangs until it kicks me back to the server browser. No error message pops up. I'm joining vanilla servers with no mods so I know that isn't the problem. Adding -exthreads=1 doesn't help. -edit- nevermind I reinstalled, this time instead of going 1.00-1.07 I went 1.00-1.05, then 1.05-1.07. I can join servers now.

gonk 0 Posted June 28, 2010 Maybe try changing the Steam path so it finds the other installs? -ve... say ARMA2 is corrupt or missing.. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markushaze 10 Posted June 28, 2010 Honestly, i don't know why your guys are having problems. Installing the patch went fine, 1.05-1.07 and everything works as advertised on my end. exthreads=7 and cpucount=4 should be default, i have them in the command line anyways. Game is running smooth. getting the expansion later today (or so i hope) then i will report back. lets go to war gentlemen:-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trracer 10 Posted June 28, 2010 Yeah, same results here. Applied patch, working flawlessly so far. Noticed a very nice increase in FPS and general smoothness on my system (i5 750@3Ghz, 8GB ram, GTX275, intel SSD, win7 x64). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfbite 8 Posted June 28, 2010 Patch seems pretty good so far.. but my terrain textures are loading up very slowly.... Its probably because my computer is ancient though... I need to sort that out... Still using P4 2gigs of ram radeon saphire 512mb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elric de Melnibone 10 Posted June 28, 2010 (edited) Yeah... good patch. Really noticed the improved performance. Still doesn't run perfect, and big towns still bring my computer down, but for how 'dated' my computer is, it runs pretty decent now. Much better than the last patch, performance wise.

dazzo1987 10 Posted June 28, 2010 Still runs pretty crappy for me, like 15-29 FPS using FRAPS, especially in built up areas. I have a 4870 ATI card 512MB, 4GB RAM and a Quad core Processor running at 1680x1050 on mostly 'normal' graphic settings. Don't know why such bad performance when the game doesn't even look to crackin to be honest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UKWFMental 10 Posted June 28, 2010 noticed huge difference in performance,much faster fps and seems smoother running about, thanks guys, good job:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
niverin 10 Posted June 28, 2010 Editor or singleplayer missions are very smooth with this patch ...but have extremely low FPS in campaign :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andromedagalaxe 10 Posted June 28, 2010 I noticed the improvements: annoying radio chatter where the guy says "going" 25 times appears to be corrected. Also noticed the LOD switching problem appears to have been corrected so buildings don't "flicker" any more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
