Hi guys I got ARMA2 today the 505 english version, installed it and patched it to 1.02 straight away. After what seems a ramdom amount of time up to about 20 minutes the game will lock up and i have to restart my pc as nothing will work. I have 4gb of ram installed so i tried putting the 'maxmem' line into the shortcut but it still happens. The game plays very well with settings on mostly normal but these crashes make it unplayable. I am so dissapointed as i've been waiting for this for a very long time, any ideas? AMD 64 x2 6000+ 4 gb ram Geforce 8600 Gt

I had this problem every time i tried to play arma2 with an 8600gt. My solution was to get a new 260 gtx card and it's been fine ever since. I've never had it before with other games either. An expensive solution i know but even with extra fans it didn't make much difference.

Sorted it now. Don't know exactly what it was but i've upgraded my graphics card to a 260 GTX and i haven't had a problem since.

Can the graphics card overheating cause this?

I get it every time though.

Are the shadows on the windows going to be fixed? Awesome addon but this lets it down.

Great mod, love they hueys. The rotor sound inside the cockpit is very low, is it meant to be like this?

Does anyone have the problem of not being able to target tanks, trucks, shilkas etc with hellfires until you are right on top of them. The cobra is pretty much unuseable for me atm.

This is a really great mod but i really need the aiming dots back for helicopters (ah6, uh60 ffar). I know how to get it back for rifles but i can't work out how to get the heli one back. Can anyone help please?

Don't suppose you have had a chance to check this yet Matt?

Apparently this is supposed to force troops in a heli out when it lands but as soon as the script starts the troops jump out to their death and the heli lands afterwards. Â Can anyone help fix it? Â Its not my own script just one i found on another ARMA site. ;Script created by Storm aka. 6thStorm. ;This script will force people from choppers to disembark when it's on the ground. ;put this line in the waypoint: [Group, Chopper] exec "Offload.sqs" ;ex. [Rangers, BlackHawk] exec "Offload.sqs" _group = _this select 0 _chopper = _this select 1 _group lockWP true group driver _chopper lockWP true _chopper land "LAND" _groupunits = Units _group _Everyone = Count _GroupUnits _Count = 0 #Getout _ThisUnit = _groupunits Select _Count UnassignVehicle _ThisUnit _ThisUnit action ["getout", _chopper] ? !alive _ThisUnit; goto "Check" #Check _Count = _Count + 1 ? (_Count < _Everyone) : goto "Getout" _group lockWP false group driver _chopper lockWP false

OK i've got it to work and it is very good but the gunners of blackhawks get out with the troops then the chopper has to land to pick them up again. Also with different choppers it takes longer for them to get out. I tried it using a Bush Wars Puma and they take forever to get out but in the Blackhawk they jump out as soon as it touches down.

Thanks Matt. The chopper lands really well but the troops just sit in it and don't get out. Do i need to change anything in the script or should anyone in cargo just get out?

Can anyone help with this or reccomend a good working fast insertion script?

Thanks SNKMAN the unmount script is fine but the chopper doesn't take off after the troops have jumped out. I would also like all of them to jump out at the same time like a fast insertion. I don't know where to put your code sample either so i still can't get the original script to work.

Thanks TheJay i'll give that a try. Can anyone fix the script though, it would be nice to have it working.

Any clues how to do that? I am a complete noob when it comes to scripting.

errr you lost me there. It just goes in the addon folder doesn't it? You don't have to get it to load on startup do you?

Awesome thanks mate, all working perfectly.

I can't get it to work with the fdf sound mod. Has anyone else?

With this mod are you supposed to loose your ammo count in the top left of the screen? Its a really cool mod but i really miss the ammo count.

As above, i have come out of a server because of some idiot called 'Wicky'. His idea of fun is to sit at base and kill anyone who respawns, why do these people get away with it? How can you stop them?

How would i get onto a passworded server?

Getting the law involved sounds a bit drastic, it is only a game afterall. I just wish these idiots would grow up and let others have some fun. I thought there was a global ban list or something that would ban them forever.

How many vote kick's does it take to get rid of them?
