Amazing news, though i keep hitting the buy it now button..:)

lol at the guy falling out the window

I get a virus/trojan warning when i click on author link... im using avast antivirus in vistax86. Rapid share download also does not work. Why is this?

Dont worry i had the same problem in Vista but i now have a second hard drive with XP and now Arma shuts down without the problem now. Arma and Vista is like heaven and hell as someone as mentioned before, run it in xp you will find a hell of a difference. My temps can get to 70c under load, make sure you have your fan set to 90-100% as at default the cards run at 60% which is not enough. Install rivatuner and see what your temps and fan speed is set too, if it is at default 60% increase as mentioned above.

You need to post your machine spec, operating system etc to give us an idea to what your problem could be. I have installed the beta updates for vista and have found more stability with the game (no crashes etc) also i seem to have slightly better stable frame rates.

Went back to XP done a fresh install of Arma and performance is twice as good as Vista for me, only gripe i have is with the dam 'FOG/HAZE' issue, can this not be fixed??

Put ur viewdistance to 4000 or 8000 and it should stop looking pants in v1.08. Thanks that seemed to work better with a lose of frame rates though, cheers for that

Hi I still am having this haze/ fog effect with my 8800GTS with latest drivers (163.11 Vista), has anyone got this running with an 8800 without the haze/fog? Does anyone know what is the definate fault here as i can no longer play this with the haze/fog effect as it looks pants.

You can plug a keyboard/mouse into a ps3 which works fine and im sure you could a xbox360, so why couldnt it happen?

Well im going to eat my words, i complained about texture problem etc earlier and decided to completly remove arma and reinstall. Removed all trace of Arma, reinstalled then patched to v1.05, updated new nvidia driver v160.04, patched arma to v1.08, set maxmem=512 and the game now runs like a charm. Persistence paid off, very happy now!

Hi Has anyone got Armed assault working in Vista yet, i have installed the new patch ok with no hitch. The game starts up ok with no problem then after playing for 10mins, looking at building trees etc. the textures look flat and lifeless?? I just wanted to know if anyone else is playing this game ok with similar system under vista as i dont know if its the game developer fault, vista not compatible or bad nvidia drivers? Done maxmem, updated drivers etc etc. Dissapointed user...

Yea i have similar spec as you guys and after patching started to play expecting to sort out the texture bug but no, still no joy Still get the problem that building textures or trees after time become bland and lifeless, i only have vista as it is a new prebuilt machine and still having these problems. Ive tried all the recomended posts (drivers/maxmem etc, ect) on how to fix but still doesnt run properly, vista and armed assault= not compatible at moment. Other games i have (which is many) run fine so this will have to go back on the shelf. Very dissapointed...

Are you sure its a 1.07 server? If the server doesnt accept 1.07 patch then it wont work. Yep it was v1.07, i found the way to get it to work was to totally disable my Avast anti virus software. I sure didnt have to do that with v1.05, i will try again this evening just to confirm.

Im having the same problem and i cant connect, it only happens with the latest beta 1.07 version in vista. Version 1.05 works fine, any ideas?

I have to agree it would be wrong to add children to this game, at the end of the day the parents bring them into this world and train teach them the ways they have been living. That may involve guns and war but they are inocent, you must remember they were programmed from birth

My deep apologies, i did read it wrong i should be banned . Had a rough night sorry again...

Is there anyway of having a favourite server list? Sometimes i float around servers trying to find a good teamplaying one (not teamkilling noobs), when i have found one and im playing on it i tend to forget the name of the server. Is there any easy way of noting the server im on? so i can play it again. I think there should be a favourites list for easy rejoin

Well ive gone back to XP again and the game runs amazing, Vista does not run this game properly. To many crashes etc in Vista and loss of framerates, so XP it is..

Getting these strange grey and black squares on buildings when looking through a vehicle window, please check images. Frame rate is much improved . http://aycu25.webshots.com/image/16624/2003574384364380772_rs.jpg http://aycu11.webshots.com/image/16730/2005576803933283964_rs.jpg In menu settings same as v1.05; 1400x900  60Hz High                  Very High High                  Very High High                  Very High Normal                Low Low 1. From which version did you patch ? v1.05 2. Do you have a box release. If so which one ? German 3. Do you have a downloaded version. If so which one ? No 4. What Gfx drivers are you running the patched version with ? 160.03 Vista 5. Do you run with Gfx driver default settings or have you altered them for performance reasons ? vsync force off, Multisampling, Anis Mip filter off, Anis sample optimisation off, negative LOD Bias clamp . 6. Are your Arma settings configured right ? Kept the same as v1.05.

I changed my machine over about 1 month ago (as mentioned in signature) and it came with Vista and the game was pretty much unplayable, to which i thought it would be fixed by drivers/patches. So i went back to XP and the game ran fine with no LOD bug. This week i decided to change back to Vista and update everything and nvidia driver to latest version (BETA v160.03), now the game runs really well now (performance wise) but the LOD bug is back even quicker (5mins). I was playing Sahrani Virus and by the time it ended the only thing i could make out was the players, the rain and Blackhawk at the end. I tried previous driver version (v158.18) and had the same problem, in XP i have none why is this? Does this mean i can only enjoy this game using XP?

Not just 8800 users have the problem, i went back to try Vista again and i get the LOD bug with a 7950GT. XP fine, Vista not.

I ready tried raising this topic a while ago with no response http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin....t=61213

tey the -maxmem=512 in the command line, if it works, bump it up to 1024, try it again. Yep got set at 512mb, if i go any higher i get the bug??? Maybe driver releases in future will fix

HI i have the same problem after recently updating my system (pretty much the same as yours), my previous system as mentioned in my signature didnt have the LOD bug. Dont know what to do even if i reduce the texturers down it still happens over time

Im with you on that , went from xp to vista and omg what a bag of shite. Arma goes slow mo now, keeping my patience with vista updates
