Is this mod compatible with OA?

Antonoo: I feel your pain but you should be able to run the A2 at respectable (25+ fps) framerates. So here are a few tips: 1. ensure you're running the latest beta (78927 IIRC) 2. defrag your hard drive 3. install GameBooster to help you disable unecessary services whilst you're playing A2 (its free but watch out for the optional toolbar) 4. disable AToC (edit ArmaA2OA.cfg and set AToC=0) 5. run A2 & try these video settings 1680x1050 3d res = 100% View distance 1500 Post processing = Disabled (install Oktane's NoBlur mod and you can enjoy "Low" at almost not performance hit) AA = Disabled Anisotropic = Disabled Shadows = High Texutres, Objects & Terrain = Normal Let us know if that works. ---------- Post added at 12:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 AM ---------- Indeed, A2 like most sims is heavily dependant on CPU speed. So overclocking your CPU should offer you significant gains. If you're not an experienced overclocker then take it easy: a) Increase the CPU multiplier (if you have a Black Edition) and/or the memroy's FSB (Front Side Bus) in small (5-10 Mhz) increments via the BIOS b) Avoid raising the CPU voltage unless REALLY necessary c) Keep a close eye on your CPU temps Provided you're careful overclocking your CPU relatively easy but don't expect a miracle either. Here a rough guide of what you can hope to achieve: No sweat: 3.2 GHz Standard: 3.4 Ghz Good: 3.6 Ghz Lucky: 3.8Ghz ? Incredible: 4.0 GHz?? Here's an decent blog from AMD on overlocking a Phenom II x4

I'm very interested in testing this mod but I'm concerned that TrueUser_Fov might not work well for : a) TrackIR users b) EyeFinity users (video outputs to 1x3 monitors) Can anyone confirm these suspicions?

all I can say about the video is "1.3 full need" Seriously were you also running the TrueMod pack?

Damn shame, because that'd be simply AMAZING.

Gunter: I understand your qualms about testers. So rather than a closed alpha, how about an open beta? Keep up the good work. I know a lot of people who are keen to see SLX salvaged.

I too would strongly recommend you avoid Steam. While I admire Steam's seamless integration, the use mods and/or beta patches is more complicated with Steam. Buying from Sprocket also means more money for BIS as it cuts on the middle-man (Steam). BTW: Gunter I really like your work so 'm really looking forward to seeing your COWarMod.

TeamSpeak 3 Client 3.0.0-rc1-pre11 available for testing as of today. I particularly like the sound of we released what might be the last pre-release before rc1. It fixes the high CPU issues that some users were seeing and also the crash when reloading plugins, amongst other things.

thanks uts working now. dunno why it wasnt before. great little addon

Such a difference is hardly surprising as you cannot directly compare the settings in OA vs those in A2. OA includes several advances in its 3d engine that result in it being more resource-intensive. So how about lowering some of your settings slightly? For example: 1680x1050 3d res = 100% View distance 2500 Post processing = low AA = low Shadows high Objects, terrain, textures normal And try using Oktane's NoBlur mod (enables Post-processing but significantly reduces the performance hit).

@ArmaIIholic: sounds awesome but your time acceleration of 1 sec = 1.5 mins sounds awfully fast. Have you tried dialing it down slightly? Say, 1 sec = 1 min? Congrats on the award btw. Well deserved!

Try lowering your 3D resolution to 100%. You should see a significant improvement in performance for only a minor loss of visual quality.

Is this fix required for OA?

Well done guys! Does this mean that ACRE's future is now secure with TS3?

Chill out mate :cool: Lighty didn't mean to insult IceBreaker. Indeed you only need read the smilies in their message to see that. Round here questioning someone's work isn't to insult it, rather we try and help each other :) It's called freedom of expression :D

Well done mate! Past the initial shock, it's great to see you back up and running. Getting back up after suffering a knock down, Manny Pacquiao style!

Thanks for all your hard work and particularly your appreciation of the community's feedback. Indeed in your quest for realism and authenticity, please don't fall into the trap of integrating too many addons.

Zeus AI certainly works alongside ASR's Rearming mod. Dunno the SLX. You best bet is to ask Gunter Sverloh via the A2WarMod thread. He's fast becoming the expert at integrating SLX

Dropper: your PC is a little under-powered so here are a few tips: 1. Always get the latest official patch 2. Try the latest beta patch 3. In the Settings menu: a. Set the resolution at 100% b. Don't set the draw distance more than 2000m c. Keep Terrain Detail at Normal or even Low d. Disable AA e. Lower Post-Processing to Low or even Very Low And your English is fine mate. WAY better than my croatia ;) Hope that helps Failing that you can always try these tips

Thanks for all your replies. I hadn't considered the performance aspects of this debate. I appreciate your feedback, particularly when it's so objective, informative and civil. Lightspeed: can't wait to see your updates. I'm dying to try this one. There are so few co-op campaigns. Fewer still of this quality!

I appreciate that this aspect remains delicate in certain countries. So how about if the next release (2.5?) contained no offensive symbology but also releasing an optional patch for those purists seeking historical accuracy. IIRC this is how it was done in several other WW2-themed games.

Has anyone made a replacement mod for this?

I dunno about others but I HATE spawning. A2 is a milsim. People don't spawn in real-life. So how about having some units there right from the start? Spawning seems like a cheap arse trick, reserved for the likes of CoD.

Anyone know if there's a mission that uses these cyborgs and/or the predators? I'd love to get my clan to download Lingor and then spring this on them. In fact I might even record our voice comms because I'm sure it'd be hilarious - the confusion, the fear, the panic.

10.4 work great for my 4890 Anyone else?
