Punisher5555 0 Posted July 16, 2010 If anyone else has this please reply so we may enter a ticket. I played the Cipher Takistan mission. I picked the 4x4 with the grenade/commander machine gun. The tires and the gun textures would not load. They are just blocks. The rest of the vehicle is fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msy 22 Posted July 16, 2010 Is anyone talking about PSO scope in SVD or AK? It seems that there is a tritium bulb in the PSO scope for illumination at night. I don't know how it works in real life, but I know in OA I can hardly see in dark night. and about CLOCK 17, it has fluorescence point on the aperture and front sight, but the fluorescence point doesn't work at night either.

Vixente 10 Posted July 16, 2010 I am experiencing random freezes with this beta. It happened a few times, in Domination and Warfare. It happens after an hour or so playing. I see no log or anything to post here. Game just freezes and then i have to press CTRL + ALT + DEL. Process keeps using 50% cpu (i have quad core, it uses 2 cores at 100%) but the game does not respond or recover. Anyone with this same issue ? I have no problem with normal version. Temps are ok, i have Ati 5850 and Phenom II 955BE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cjph 0 Posted July 17, 2010 I used this beta last night and put a single soldier in Zargabad (as I do for betas, gradually adding in stuff) and noticed in several of the new buildings the outside staircases are invisible - they are still there and you can walk up them, just not see them. The shadows are also still there. And, there is a new building with 3 shops included, and the fronts to these shops appear to be blurred textures which you can walk through into the internals of the building. Anyone else seen this ?

tophe 69 Posted July 17, 2010 The onPreloadFinished command is still bugged. Everything put into onLoadFinished will execute every time a loadscreen shows. When a player change settings, alt-tab and sometimes when going back from map. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bensdale 0 Posted July 18, 2010 Sethos said: Could it be because every building can be entered in OA, unlike the other games where many were basic 3D models, now you have 50x the polygons and geometry complexion for every building you see. Yes that`s true, but in many situations the FPS are fine and the game stutters though. At buildings it is the worst but also on open field without many objects the game stutters or the FPS goes for short time down. I think a little bit optimation would not bad ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smiley_ie 7 Posted July 18, 2010 I only got OA the other night. installed with latest beta and get lots of slow downs in citys on donimation 2 20 - 30fps. Compared to Arma 2 donimation 2 with ACE 35 - 60 in citys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InFireBaptize 0 Posted July 18, 2010 (edited) Hi, This is the third time happening. Game all of a sudden locks up *freeze* no crash no black screen, i still see the game and it comes back after 30-40 seconds. No mods, only latest beta, happened both when CPU is O.C and not O.C. I thought it was 10.6 ATI driver but went down to 10.4 but still same problem. This happened offline simply giving the disembark command. Here is the report file. http://www.filefront.com/17110631/arma2oa.RPT Let me know if you need any other files. Update: I played the vanila version with no lock ups so far. I don't see it as CPU temp. issue because i have always played arma2 with O.C CPU. one thing i did is reinstalled the game because i updated the RAID firmware from intel after i have installed the game, so i will play more and report back.

Vixente 10 Posted July 19, 2010 InFireBaptize that happens to me too. The only difference is that i do not wait for the game to come back, but i'll try to wait next time it freezes to see what happens. I wrote my problem in page 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex72 1 Posted July 19, 2010 Anyone else gets crashes that gives a black screen only? Sound continues and i have to ctrl+alt+del to get out of it. Happened a lot since first OA version. There is no crash log either when this happens. Used everything from 1gb-6gb pagefile. Going to try and up it some more and see if that helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricM 0 Posted July 19, 2010 Did the netcode change ? I played Takistan Benny's Warfare in OA multiple times on different servers with good pings (at first) and I seemed to notice more warping of AI at a distance and I lost connection after an hour or two of gameplay each time. Never really happened before in Arma 2. It could be on my side, though, or mission related, or simple coincidence, but I wondered if other people experienced it.

Alex, I haven't had a crash yet. The closest was when I was turning in tight circles in Zargabad with a lot of AI, the rotational blur went a little crazy and the game hung for about 2 minutes. I've tried to replicate this since (to force a crash) but it hasn't happened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ast65 10 Posted July 19, 2010 Nope, luckily no crashes or performance issues so far. I7 920 HD 5850 6 gig RAM Win 7 64 everything at stock, running both ArmA2 and OA maxed out @1920*1080 with 6.6 k VD @around 30-40 fps. I´m kind of a graphics junkie, just need all the bells ´n whistles (what else is a high end system good for :p) as long the overall feeling is smooth without slowdowns or hangups or microstutter whatsoever :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jpinard 10 Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) Dwarden & Suma - I've got those Anistropic Filtering screenshots for you. This is in all versions of OA (maybe base game too haven't checked). I took a set of 3 shots. #1 - AF off. #2 - In game AF at max. #3 - In-Game AF OFF, but Nvidia control panel settings at max override. You can see half-way back a siginificant difference. Each screeshot is unaltered and I cut out shots #4 and #5 so it's easier to see. The override settings are: Ansitropic Filtering: 16x Negative LOD Bias: Clamp I had to create a zipfile because the 5 pics are big (9 Meg total): http://www.jeffpinard.com/ArmA2OA_Anistropic_Filtering.zip I'm probably one of those people who blurry/muddy textures bothers, but many people might not notice.

Lately i never crashed, the game would just locks up then comes back that's why a new rpt was never created. The pagefile size i have right now is system managed on a separate hard drive *installed specifically for pagefile*. Thanks Suma. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
