Thanks its fixed now.. I had to reinstall, i think something was wrong with my original install so it wouldnt patch it

HI, i just recently bought a new pc and am in the process of updating AA again! I just spent over an hour downloading and trying 2 supposed 1.05 patches for AA. Both of them said they are for any version 1.0-1.04.. but when i try to install it they said "verifying 1.04" and ofcouse im on 1.0.. so it didnt work I cant find how to get to 1.05 from 1.0 and im going mad, ive wasted so much time now.. Please help.. I bought this game as a dvd in the UK. I cant understand why patches claiming they would update any version to 1.05 wont work.. And no i havent been using the smaller 1.04-1.05 incremental update. These are the big 500mb patches.

ive got a logitech wingman forcefeedback and its still going strong annoying thing is though it doesnt have a twist axis on the joystick. You could set the z-axis as the throttle but its not the same for helis

As its happening to many of us id say its a gamespy problem. Ive been playing on 1.08 alot and not had this problem before.

same thing has just happened to me

2.2ghz is low-medium mate... Current Athlons run up to 2.8ghz and overclocked even faster. Ur CPU is an Athlon XP which performs under current Athlon 64. Myself im running a 3.3ghz Core2 CPU which is comparable to ~3.6ghz Athlon64 and ~4.3ghz P4. At this speed the CPU is rarely the bottleneck in ArmA as i'm usually under the full use of 1 CPU. What videocard and drivers do you run, what gameversion do you run? in 1.05 the map improved a bit, and in 1.07beta/1.08 it's even better. Sorry i mean my CPU is the fastest AMD 32-bit, thats correct isnt it? Even though its 2.2ghz it performs comparable to a much higher clocked p4. In this case 3ghz+. I know its nothing compared to a 64-bit though, was just saying. Im running latest omega drivers i think. And my game is 1.05. Map has always been a trouble. Really struggled with navigation in the SP campaign. lol. Perhaps i should try the beta patch? But the official one should be soon?

Hmm CPU should be fine. Its @ 2.2ghz but to my knowledge its the fastest 32-bit chip available and performs the same as a 3.2ghz p4 ( for games anyway ). This bug is so annoying Thanks for the replies. Im gonna have to go with a reinstall i think. Got a feeling i deleted all my patches though

Hey, thanks for the reply. I have an old system and have everything set to minimum but dont have a problem with fps ingame. It not so much the loading thats the trouble, its the fact that when the maps actually open its impossible to move it around or zoom at any speed. Its like the map is running at 1 frame every 5 seconds or something. But like i said, occasionally ( when im playing the usual maps ) it runs perfectly. AMD 3200+ XP 1gb PC3200 DDR Radeon 9800 Pro Will a reinstall be likely to fix things?

9 times out of 10 when i try access the map in a mission ( both SP and MP ) It can take up to a minute to load and then often there will be no text on my notepad and all the markers will be blurred. It makes the map useless because its mega laggy, would take 5 minutes for me to scroll the map to the other side of the island. Very occasionally the map is fine and functions properly but most of the time its blurred and laggy and almost impossible to use. Its the most annoying bug ever as the map is the most important thing. I have to make do with the gps which is not good enough. Im having to learn the map in my head for MP maps like evolution so i can remember where each city is, its sooo annoying. It takes me even longer to exit the map. Opening, looking and closing the map is a 5 minute job for me instead of 5 seconds like it should be. Apart from this the game runs fine. Ive tried disabling the extra map detail but that doesnt help. Anyone got any ideas as it is really messing the game up for me.. All i want is a working map
