Hiya.. I have a pretty OK spec..AthlonXP 2.8, 1g ram, ...should run ok. I've read somewhere that it maybe the graphics card, geforce fx 5500 256 ram. I'm planning on getting a 'new' graphics card soon but funds are limited so can only afford a slightly better one than I already have..but for now, Im waiting for the uk patch. btw: I did encounter some of the initial problems that others had, unable to load graphics..blah blah...with a bit of faffing around, updating this, downloading that etc..I did managed to get it going. Very slow and unplayable, but atleast its working. If u have any ideas on what to do before I buy g.card, I'd appreciate the help. Thanks.

Hiya Nathe I've just bought Arma a couple of days ago, it works but runs too slow to be playable even on the lowest settings. Normally I would have taken it back straight away but Im sticking with it because I'm confident that all problems will eventually be solved. I remember when OFP first came out, it had many problems, took ages to load, was very slow, very buggy and very frustrating to the point I wanted to return it..but I stuck with it and eventually, problems were sorted patch after patch after patch up to v1.97? ...runs perfectly now and has done ever since..a few bugs here n there, certainly not 100% perfect, but nothing that spoils my enjoyment of the game. Im confident that the same will apply to Arma. I know its frustrating but just give them a chance to sort it out and Im sure it will have been worth the wait.
