funkee

Forget it, its never gonna change since they think it's cool and realistic... lol

C'mon man, its only 2 years after release! They have been patching ArmA1 for 4 years (11.30.2006 - 04.24.2009). Let's give'em some time. No hurry:rofl:

I also hope that Virtual Reality will be finally replaced. Even free AA3 engine "Unreal" would be better than this crap.

"ArmA2 / OA (low) performance issues" thread approaches to 100 pages... that says much. The truth is that the Virtual Reality engine is obsolete, uneffective (even on modern machines) and cant handle such amount of data. Whats the point of puting advanced (still dumb tho) AI and thousands km of terrain, if the framerate is unacceptable and whole fun from the game goes away? IMO if BI still thinks about ArmA series, they should buy or lease a new engine, because this one is dead. Othervise they gonna close another studios or make arcade platformers for children.

20/7 hours per day on arma? Wasting of time.

Dell usb.

CPU only (for fps), and RAM if you are experiencing stuttering. But if you are running 3,9 GHz then i give up :D

Fully agree with OP. Movement (apart from performance) is the thing that i dont like the most in ArmA series. It feels kinda delayed and unsmooth. Another disadvantage is that you cant see your weapon when moving without aiming (the weapon just disappears in a strange way). Of coz you can see it pressing alt key and looking into the bottom, but thats not the same feeling. You are wrong. I think that's just because of strange movement and poor performance. Some animations (especially bullet hit and falling down) also come off from many other games (like BF:BC2 or CoD:MW2).

MW2 not polished? LoL :eek: I've been playing this game for a year and couldnt find 1 single bug! Re Bad Company 2 - they just released client patch R8 and R12 server which is amazing. I wish ArmA2 to have so little "issues" as BC2 have, dont even mention the performance. LOL :D You are obviously a BI troll. Do they pay you for writing such a bullshit?

Thanks. So i need to reinstall the game?

I've just installed 321 mb patch 1.07 over the 1.05 version. Is this correct?

19? Wow, thats amazing score :)

C'mon man, I was just kidding!

No, we cant: MadDogX Mindless F@nb0! :D

Sure, they have :) You know well that ArmA is not only ifantry "simulator" with it's tens of vehs and aircraft. I hope so. Now i end discuss with you guys since it's pointless and criticism is obviously not welcome here (I got punished reciving infraction for posting my honest opinion). A propos DCS terrain and engine "as much horrible as ArmA2": http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/1015/screenshot015l.jpg http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/104/kh25ml040.jpg Compare with this: http://www.gamestar.de/index.cfm?pid=1589&pk=13838 Cheers!

No problem bro, I can understand you're king of the fanboys and your duty is to cut all negative comments. Keep up the good job! Ok so lets pinpoint and reproduce a poor Virtual Reality performance and 40 fps on GTX 480 / Radeon 5870: http://alienbabeltech.com/main/?p=16997&page=16. Isn't that what these forums are for? But this one will be easy, just run the game on any modern PC. :) Sorry I don't and never didnt :) The game where you lock on target pressing 1 button, and then killing it with 1 cllick I cant call realistic. Want realism? Check out DCS: Blackshark, Falcon4 or similar, you will find a difference between FPS and SIM.

Try Bad Company 2. I know it's maybe not so "simulative", but I doubt if we can talk about simulation or realism at all in any of these 2 games. Exactly, and it's main problems are: bad performance, dumb AI, and poor sounds imho, esp. sounds of weapons (again, try to compare them to BC2, it's uncomparable). So how do you imagine that "constructive ways"? Can you even distinguish whining from criticism? What would be a better way to help devs, than mention game problems? Do you expect us to instruct BI how to fix things? LOL! Btw: most of you guys are just a kiddy arma fanboys that can only butter devs up, 0 constructive thoughts that'd make the next BI games better. I wish you have fun playing OA with all the same issues.

The only troll I can see here is you sir. The topic is "Why is this game not more popular?", so stop spamming and posting OT.

LOL. And because its not scripted, unlike in other FPS games :D

No performance - no gameplay. Sorry. It's not unoptimised (i think it is), it just sux all the way :) And dumb, robotic AI is another issue. Apart from the poor performance, I think the game also loses much due to bad netcode and lack of the weapon view while running (you can see it only pressing alt key and moving yor mouse down). Something is definitely wrong with this game, and plz dont teach me what may be a bottleneck in my machine as I'm computer engineer. I've been testing new GPU on a few games (incl. BC2, MW2, GTAIV, DCS:Blackshark), and ArmA2 was the ONLY game with no FPS gain (tested on win7, vista and XP). I wonder how Operation Arrowhead will perform on that "new generation engine", but I dont expect a lot.

You're right, but if I change my graphics card from 8800 GTS to GTX 260, and I get 0 - max 1 fps gain (I got 4GHz CPU so it's not a bottleneck), I can say only one thing about this engine: horrible. ArmA will never be a great game witch such poor performance even on modern hardware. http://alienbabeltech.com/main/?p=16997&page=16 40 fps on GTX 480 and Radeon 5870 OC'd? LOL! Now tell me that's due to large areas and because this is a sim (with one-click locking on target). :)

So communicative? LOL. Go to EA or ED forums and see how communication between devs and community should be. On these forums there must be a global event to read something from developers. Backing OT - where do I find some vids of Operation Arrowhead?

So what are you doing in this thread and why do you post OT? The question is "why is this game not more popular"' date=' not "how well the game runs on your machine". PS. Modern engine from 2001? ;) (updated, but still the same) Thats it. They were very ambitious, but that was to excessive challenge to small BI team.

Thank you. Is that last beta online compatibile with official 1.05 build?

Hm... Because of poor, outdated engine and horrible performance? Or maybe developers ignoring their community?
