Holy crap - You can play Arma2 ...AND... OA at the same time

Amazing I can alt-tab between them seamlessly or side-by-side via windowed mode. If anyone wants to do some comparison videos/screenshots this is the way to do it. Load up the same mission and see/hear the differences.

I have noticed major performance hit when I run something in background while playing. For example Opera browser gives me lags and eats up several fps.

I can imagine running 2 copies of the game wont' be good for performance too.

The reason I posted was because how playable it actually was. Of course I wouldn't recommend it for lower system specs but it's quite amazing stability-wise.

OK, but why would you even do that when you can essentially run both games in one single application? :confused:

Holy crap, I can Alt + Tab between ArmA, ArmA2, OA and YouPorn at the same time.. thank you BIS :)

Doesnt surprise me, I could alt-tab between arma2 and arma2 (2 instances running at the same time) before :)

[Gibbo355 10]

not exactly ground breaking news, and kinda pointless, all the same though enjoy your 2xarma, it begs the question, do you have two heads?

[Panzer Jager 10]

do you have two heads?

Every man has two heads.

[RozekPoland 591]

I've got 3 heads. Surprised? :D

You look at 4 kinds of porn at the same time?

I think we seriously need to consider convening an Emergency Special Session of the United Nations' General Assembly.

My post, a little over the top - but I wanted to make it known for those that want to make comparison videos/screenshots this is a great way to do it. If you do it one at a time you can't sync them like you can running both together.

[andersson 285]

True, it is a good way to compare.

I remember once playing OFP for 9 hours straight, closing it, and finding out i was in the middle of another OFP game in the background! lol.
