though i "only" use a 9700 pro, i had much trouble with catalyst 3.4 and over (no sky, or green sky, poor texturing, no objects in the landscape, etc...), resolving by getting down to the 3.2 catalysts (official ones)

Had the same problem, had to deactivate hardware acceleration, changed for Nforce2 native APU.

Do i understand the meaning of the topic? Are Omega drivers better than catalyst on purpose of playing OFP ? I downloaded catalyst 3.4 but they led to a corrupted display with OFP resistance (green screen or desert landscape without any object, unplayable game, crashdown, etc...) so i dropped back to 3.2 Should i download the omega 3.4 instead ?

Gameplay is made for 1000-1500 view distance, though it looks greater (especially in flying vehicles) with distance above 2000, some enemies might target you too easily with super AI enabled.

Ask my wife and child about it, they will surely answer "far too much" Ask my belly and it will answer "get up your fat ass and go for some more jogging" Ask me and I'll say "I felt myself WASTING my time when I played sneaking mission for about an hour and get shot 3 meters before the end of it AAARGH just have to get back to the beginning.... again !" Anyway, as it was said before, more than 300 hours of thrill playing game worth the price.

Just turn off the hardware acceleretion in the audio option applet in OFP, make sure the EAX is still enabled and it will work fine with all the distance and blocking effects (and surround as well) I did change my Sound blaster audigy for the inboard APU of the asus A7N8X deluxe and never regretted it

oh by the way i searched the topic about this problem but the strafing issue do not work this time, and as long as i won't reach the top of the tower i won't continue the campaign, so if somebody know a cheat to bypass this mission and keep on with the campaign, it's all right with me

playing the CWC campaign wit res 1.91 (and 1985 campaign update compatibility) My character cannot climb stairs, he walk upon the first steps then slid down to the bottom, i managed to climb some by runnning till midstair then crouching, this helped getting on the first floor of some buildings but.... I'm now playing the mission when Armstrong try to contact OC with the resistance radio in a castle, i've made my way to the castle and was told to meet the captain at the top of the tower castle. Arrgh i succeeded in climbing one slope and to stairs (after a hard time) but i'm stuck at the bottom of the last stair ! Is it a known bug that you can't climb stairs normally ? it didn't happen when i was playing CWC withh OFP 1.46. please help

I didn't know the view distance was interfering with your enemy abilities, i thought it was just a graphic display option, Now i understand why i get shot by a russian officer i can hardly see in may aim ! it's quite a pity that you must choose between good-looking landscape and blind Enemy

Well, thank you all for your participation look like i'm the only one to use the microsoft strategic commander, though i found it was the optimal tool for the kind of game you have to move, aim and act a lot (radio command or quick action) Maybe the lot of you don't even know the stuff as it was rarely tested or displayed in hardware news ? First of all : I have NO part with Microsoft products or business, I usually think Microsoft really SUCKS and they do NOT send me money to talk about their products. Strategic commander is a left hand controller to use with mouse in the right hand. the turtle back perfectly fit in an adult-size hand, getting 8 keys under your fingertips, and 3 more under your thumb. the whole stuff act as a 3 axes joystick (X-Y and rotation) on its static basement. An easy GUI allow you to remmap all the keys as keyboard shortcut or even keyboard script (sequences of keyboard action with delay between each key) allowing to organize a whole patrol squad with one keytouch (Ex: all disembark + all engage at will + all take cover... with one touch) Furthermore, the 3 thumb keys act as shift1 shift2 shift3 upon the 6 first buttons on the top, allowing 18 key sequence under you fingers. and if this was not enough, one switch at the base of the controller allow you to choose from 3 preprogrammed combination during the game, thus giving you access to ((6*3)+2)*3=60 mapped keys, all with one hand ! I used to play keyboard and mouse (especially on the whole half-life and its sequels) before i bought this controller, it takes about a week to get use to its many keys and switches but once this is done, you can't even think to play without it...

Guess you accidentally activated the W-buffer which usually turn the whole screen in a beautiful Martian landscape

Ring the bell, ATI catalyst 3.4 are coming today, they work fine and are stable so don't miss them

I found the way to solve the problem was to deactivate the DXT texture option in the compatibility aplet of the Direct3D option panel in catalyst 3.2 Hope this may help other people

I never buy a 50 euros game before i can read several reviews from my favourite gamesites. First I had too many bad experiences before, even with sequels of good games second I'm not a Beta tester and i hate bugs, so i can chill myself at least to the first patch release..
