That's a pity, a 5vs5 game where you cannot play with your friends in the same team easily, like for instance in DOTA, is kind of disappointing. Apart from that, congrats for a very fun game. It's perfect for fast sessions when I have not much time to play.

This is my new favorite best mission ever.

Nice, I'll try this when I find time. Bohemia should apply your solution to the core and publish a quick fix. This error has been there in official missions too many months by now!

I cannot host multiplayer games either. I have ports 2302 to 2305 (TCP and UDP) open and my friend cannot see my game (and viceversa). Trying to connect directly through the Steam invitation system results in "server not responding" message. My ISP (Movistar, Spain) assures that they are not blocking the ports. Any idea??? Note: We can join to other servers on the public list, with good pings. The problem is at the moment of hosting a game. Both firewall and antivirus are disabled for testing, to no avail.

This happened to me with 1.05, but good luck!

Lal, I had the same problem. If you wait some minutes (I think until the truck arrives to the russian base) the game resumes and the objective is completed. It seems the scripts at this mission have a lot of lag even in the cutscenes, the same lag that applies to commanding troops,buying units and building the base.

My factory was built but I didn't received the message until some time later (due to the lag, I guess). In fact I received two messages. This mission is very bugged, it's a shame, the campaign was very good until this point.

I finally got the chopper. If you can't buy it try to give some units to another group, I think that if you have no place to the crew you cannot buy the vehicle (even if you buy an empty one). I'm trying to finish the mission but the lagged scripts are terrible (even if I get killed, my death comes about 20 seconds after), and I'm experiencing my first CTDs... Maybe the lag comes if you play with two factions allied? Too many units for the AI engine?

And you play as commander? My mission is as allied with Napa and CDF, maybe it depends on that? I don't think it's about hardware because now I have a good rig, with good framerate: i7 860 2.80Ghz 8 Gb DDR3-1600 ATI 5870 1Gb Windows Vista 64

I'm trying to buy a chopper but with no luck. This mission has a BIG lag at menus and command. Everyone has this problem or is just me? I'm playing with 1.05, and every time I open a construction or buying menu I have to wait about a minute for it to open. Every time I give a waypoint to a unit as commander I have to wait about the same time until the waypoint is marked on map. It happened to me before the patch and with an old rig, but now with 1.05 installed and a new i7 it's the same. Every other missions go as silk, but this Dogs of War is a pain!

You can click the Edit button at each difficulty level and see/modify various options, like hud info, map info, extra armor, IA level... I play at recruit but with most options like veteran (except infinite savegames and enemy IA at about 70%). I have head bob around 30% more or less, that way is visible but you can still see the landscape without getting sick.

I had Vista 64 (SP2) and updated to Win7. I did not notice any improvement. But other people did. From what i've read, the best OS for Arma2 is XP.

I have a dual core Athlon and a GeForce 8600, and I'd like to be able to run the game at 30 fps at low settings. It only reach 30 fps in the armory. I am enjoying the game at 10-25 fps, but I'm waiting some performance patch or the time I upgrade my pc. My only complaint is that 505 games put in the game box this: Recommended hardware: -Quad Core CPU, or fast dual core CPU, Intel core 2.8 Ghz or AMD Athlon 64 x2 4400+ very fast -Ram: 2Gb -Gpu: Fast Nvidia Geforce 8800GT or ATI Radeon 4850 or very fast with shader model 3 and 512Mb vram -Windows XP or Vista Note that they say recommended, not minimum :confused: I tried the demo before and saw that it was not true, but I am a fan of the saga and know that I will play after some years (with better rig!)

Same here, and my specs are also near the recommended: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4200+ 2.21Ghz 2Gb RAM Nvidia Geforce 8600GT 1Gb VRAM Windows 7 RC The cpu recommended is 4400+ and gpu is 8800GT, but that would mean my PC can handle the game at normal detail. It's not true, I play at 1024x768 with all options at LOW (except the ones that doesn't make a big difference: AF normal, shadows normal, textures normal, terrain low). I can activate the postprocessing with the noblur mod, without a big loss of performance, but with such a low resolution it's a bit blurry. At the moment the recommended rig is far from what they say in the box. I'll wait for the next patch, we'll see if they can improve performance. Edit: I had Vista 64 before and now I have Windows 7. I haven't notice any improvement. Edit2: Ah, my fps are 8-20 in campaign and 25-35 in armory (if I watch the sky I can have a 50 fps boost sometimes)

Thanks, kju, that was fast! I have just put the savegame ticket in the issue tracker.
