here it is ***** OPERATION FLASHPOINT: RESISTANCE README ***** This package will install Flashpoint: Resistance to your Operation Flashpoint directory. REQUIRED: ========= ORIGINAL VERSION OF OPERATION FLASHPOINT. HOW TO INSTALL: =============== When you insert the Resistance disc you should be presented with the option to install. If Resistance does not start automatically when you insert the disc, browse to the CD and double-click on "Setup.exe". You will then be prompted to enter the Installation Access Code found on the inside back cover of the Resistance manual. HOW TO RUN: =========== >From the Start menu select 'Flashpoint Resistance', making sure your Resistance CD is in the CD-ROM drive. You can select which application you want to run from the Flashpoint Preferences program or you can click directly to the program shortcut in the Start menu. WHAT'S NEW ========== New Resistance campaign ----------------------- Open the 'Campaign Game' book and click on the black arrow at the top right of the page until 'Flashpoint: Resistance' is at the top. Click 'Start' to play the new campaign. The new campaign included in Operation Flashpoint: Resistance forms a prequel to the original game's plot and is set several years before Operation Flashpoint's Cold War hit crisis point. Operation Flashpoint: Resistance casts the player as Victor Troska, ex-Special Forces soldier, living a peaceful civilian life on the island of Nogova, a short distance from the original game's three islands. However, his situation changes when a Soviet force invades the island group and destroys Troska's idyllic dreams. Teammates: As you go through the campaign, you will always be a leader of your group. As your teammates survive battles, they become more and more experienced. So try not to let them die and they will fight better. Weapons: You are very short of special weapons in OFP: Resistance. Collect good weapons and try not to lose them. If your sniper dies, send someone for his rifle - you will need it. Any weapon you take in one mission will be available later. Vehicles: The same for your vehicles, if you are not able to steal enemy tanks in a mission where that is the goal, your attack on a heavily guarded enemy position will be much more difficult later. It's important to use Group and Gear sections in the Briefing before every mission. New single player missions --------------------------- There are 5 new single player missions included. Select Single Missions and double-click 'Resistance...' to access new single player missions New multiplayer missions ------------------------ There are 9 new multiplayer missions included. Select Multiplayer and choose any of missions at the new island Nogova. New graphics ------------ There is an entirely new island, Nogova, with new buildings and flora and high resolution textures and models. There are two new Video options to enhance your experience: visibility and terrain detail settings. Please note that by setting the values beyond the performance range of your PC you may get very low frame rates in the game. New vehicles and weapons ------------------------ Vehicles: --------- - Helicopter V-80 - Civilian Bus - Police Jeep - Motorbike Guns ---- - FM-FAL - HG G3A4 - UZI Hand Guns --------- - Tokarev T33 - CZ75 - Skorpion Sa61 - Glock 17 - Beretta 92F CHANGES TO MANUAL ================= The Multiplayer Setup screen has been improved with added functionality since the manual was printed. You can now add filters to the list of Internet games displayed and arrange the server list by Server name, Mission name, Server status, Number of players and Ping by clicking on the column titles. The Internet server list only displays servers that are compatible with your current version of the game. Also, a server will only be displayed if it is a dedicated server which has been created using GameSpy Arcade. To join a game which has not been created as above, you must enter the server IP address manually as described in the manual. Finally, the island is called Nogova and not Nogovo as mentioned in the Manual. TROUBLESHOOTING =============== If you encounter any problems during installation of the game: - Make sure you have your original Operation Flashpoint CD and manual to hand. - Uninstall Flashpoint completely by going to the Start menu and selecting 'UnInstall Operation Flashpoint' - Make sure to delete any left-over files in your 'Operation Flashpoint' directory - Now reinstall Operation Flashpoint. - Once it has installed, reinstall Resistance. If at any point during the Campaign you find the game is becoming too difficult, it is recommended that you REVERT to an earlier point in the Campaign and concentrate on both collecting more weapons and ammunition and keeping more of your troops alive. If at any point during a mission you become stuck, or the mission does not progress it is recommended that you restart the mission from the beginning. If you encounter any sound or graphical issues while running the game, please make sure you have installed the latest versions of your hardware drivers before contacting customer support.

as you increase the view distance the highest possible terrain setting decrease's so it something like High quality for 0-1500m , above 1500m then High is the highest setting possible ,beyond 3000m then normal is the highest quality terrain setting. The figures are accurate and its 2 late to check the real values. Another option worth checking is out is to Disable EAX in the sound options, esp if you have a SB Live and running in XP or 2000. Connected is to run Dxdiag.exe and reduce sound card acceleration. This can also be accessed via the sound windows control panel applet. I also noticed that in preferences my score is about 3200-3700 it fluctuates would imagine when it is 3200 and I keep it at that I would get better performance as it would turn the detail settings down compared to when I get 3700. So it might be worth it you use the automatic feature to run some CPU intensive apps at the same time to reduce the score thus decreasing the quality options. Another thing in preferences. the 1st option total memory for me was set at 128mb , I have 768mb physical ram so I up this to about 512mb. this doesn’t seem to change with auto detect. Also with some missions where the weather is bad , uppping the max view distance doesnt affect visiblity or to a very minor degree, i.e the 2nd mission convey, i found though it does seem to affect FPS anyway , as there is no point to a high view distance on missions like this due to the fog i turn it down just for those types of missions. Other ones might be the type of terrain i.e in valleys where you cant see that far anyway due to mountains blocking the view so you might as well get a higher FPS and down the view distance.
