I can't get the 1.54 patch to install in windows 7 the xdelta error keeps comming up. WTF

All you need to do is set post effects to "low" then every thing is fine.

To get AI to attack you have to tell them to "target" then tell them to "fire" you have to do this for each target. But this works anyways.

I found a cure for the performace problem and this is to turn the post effects to "low". I get 30 FPS with out this enabled and it does not seems to affect visuals.

I found that performance can be increased by lowering detail levels. In the new patch detail level can actually increase. LOD is increased so the actual functionality of the detail controls gives more diversity. So the "normal" detail level is not like it used to be. I found that lowering some options while keep texture details higher gives my original performance back while still keeping ok graphics. They have tweaked the normal setting to be harder on a system. Although I do think there are some performace bugs that are pretty high on the list to be fixed.

But what about those of us who used to play the game or normal or high settings just fine with above 20 fps then after the patch get barely 15 after 5 minutes of play? This is what's happening with me as well. I don't have a high end system. I have a 3500+ 2GB + 7800GT. Before the patch I was getting smooth game play now after the patch it seems like there is a memory leak or some shadow problem. I have faith that they will fix this but it is in fact about 30-40% decrease in performance. I am sure this varies for most people yet some people say they actually have better performance. Strange.....

The only problem with version 1.05 is that performace is degraded about 40% with most systems. I hope they fix this soon they should release a patch just for the performance problems. 1.02 was much better for performance.

I already saw that list before you posted and I still think ArmA is fine. Minor problems that most very high end or low end users have.

I think ArmA is great there is nothing wrong with it but minor bugs that people blow up to be a major deal. They are fixing it I don't mind the bugs because I understand that they have issues to work out. The game has various problem with diffrent systems because of the engine. Just wait a few more patches to work every thing out.
