Well I've just started, and restarted and restarted STS3 and I get so far in the campaign, I thought it was saved, and then when I restart ARMA2 I have to start from the very beginning again. Frustrated!!!! Also another curious bug... In the gear screen at startup I have a whole shitload of weapons to choose from but with no description in the lower left box. At the ammo dump before the training camp I have limited weapons (cool) but when I click on one I get a description of what kind of class/caliber that weapon is. I have all the required addons, obviously. Could it be that I am running CBA with them as well??? Anyways not being able to resume my saved games really sucks. I'll remove the CBA modfolder and see what happens. Thanks in advance

Hi all wow been awhile. I searched for whiteout and whitescreen couldn't find anything. I'm not sure if the problem is with 1.05 or not. After about 10 minutes or so in game when I move I get a completely white screen but it still shows the green arrows for where my sqadmates are. I have to stop moving to get it to go away. Is this normal??? The only thing I could think of if it's normal is that I'm out of breath or something. Anyways lemme know! I've got a Dell XPS quad core (DON"T EVER BUY DELL) 2ghz, Crossfire 2x ati 3870 and Ageis physics card. 4gb Ram but I'm not sure it all gets used.... And yes I was stupid and drunk when I bought into dell hell. Thanks,

OK, I turned off antialiasing, had it set on low before. Haven't seen the problem since but I don't understand why that would make a difference and why I should have to do it.

flush command??? Drivers! good idea! But I'm pretty sure they're up to date. thx so far. @Rooks: You said you had the problem. Did drivers fix it?

Hi All, I was a huge fan of OPF and I special ordered Arma2... I have a 1680X1050 screen with ATI crossfire 38-somethings... The game works. But why is my mouse so sensitive??? I've tried lowering the axis on both X and Y to no avail. I just patched to the latest 1.02.xxxxx..... I was a sniper in OPF but now I don't have good control over my mouse. Is it supposed to be this way??? Thanks in advance, Pitufo. P.s. I have a wireless microsoft mouse and I unplugged my saitek controllers.

Hi all, been away for awhile, but I was just seeing all the amazing breakthroughs and advancements that the community has made for OFP... My question, because I haven't been following the ArmA news, is are we going to be dissapointed with ArmA? Sorry in advance, I know I am asking out of ignorance. Just curious as to what everyone's looking forward to in ArmA. Just seems like we get more of our bases covered in OFP every day! (Reflective water?, Replays? Am I going to be able to run it on my computer, etc., etc....) OK, fire away! I hope I don't die in flames..... P.S. wasn't sure where to post this sorry.

Please clarify this for me... I just got Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and they tell people who want to create mods that they may not use copyrighted material (textures, etc...) from other games.... Yet the bird calls are DEFINETELY the same as OFP's bird sounds...... I just want to know if this was allowed or not.

ya ok I already got my ass kicked on the oblivion forum.... I get it now. Please delete this thread thanks.

Hello, I did a few searches for this but couldn't find anything. I'm trying to play the mission "Hawk In Nets" it was voted very good in the mission editing competition I think. I've got all the addons, running 1.96 but the mission won't run. I made an addon folder specifically for the mission addons, yes I did put the "Cybelle.anim" in my OFP/addon folder. One file I don't understand is the config.cpp that comes with the ADS_Guerillas. What to do with that? Can someone point me to a thread about this? Thanks.

Hi all it's been awhile since I played OPF... I just downloaded and installed the latest ECP mod. But I need some enlightenment as to the other mods, i.e. what they all do and the differences between: FFUR, EECP and ECP. I've been out of the loop about the FFUR, EECP, ECP mods just need a refresher course please. Do they work together? Or not? Thank you in advance.

Thanks I think I understand now.

Hmm... never heard of this Kx driver before. Â But, like I do in all posts like these, I am going to suggest: Open up your CPU case and spray it with canned air. Â Overheating, or dust buildup was my problem. Â But no-one listens to me..... Â O yeah, -NOMAP as well

*nostalgic sigh*

Sadly, I never got to the lead model stage... Â I made all these improvements and mods and RPG elements but i couldn't find anyone to play.... Â Â I remember now the biggest problems with the game: Â The cardboard pieces kept moving around. 2: If you wanted to have a large-scale scenario you needed to keep track of a million little cardboard pieces on a small little piece of paper. Â Not to mention that you would have to roll dice for each one if they did a maneuver/fired/crouched/jerked-off lol. My solution for 1: was: Â To keep the cardboard pieces from moving around I found a large enough piece of metal (unwrapped it from an old door and flattened it) and then cut and pasted (with real life glue) the playing pieces onto cut-out magnet strips. Â (I would secure the map onto the big metal piece.) Â I had other improvements in the works as well such as a dynamic time system (for campaigns), fortress building rules and regulations, as well as a random event generator (done with the 2 10 sided dice... Or was that the 100 sided? Â can't remember now...). I wish I could turn my ideas into a video game it would be awesome. Â Except for the magnets. Â That'd fuck up your HD.

Anyone ever play the original Car Wars board game? Too bad it was so slow or convoluted or complicated or whatever the problem was. I remember trying to make my own modifications and expansions for it as well as a computer program to keep track of all the different units moves/timing position. There's some game coming out soon but it's multiplayer only that looks alot like carwars... I wish someone would make a single/multiplayer game of CW the way it was originally designed.

Really? How is the interface different? And as for the question, I had X2 and yes I got bored because I couldn't (or didn't have the patience to) learn the trading system.. (I suppose I shouldn't be trying to learn Falcon Allied Force then lol) And cheating in that game is a LOT of fun.... As others have said the ambience is amazing, and the fact that you can get out in your space-suit or pilot huge dreadnoughts is cool too. Yes there is a cockpit view. I think what killed X2 for me was the trading system was more complicated than I was expecting (so much micro-management), and I had a hard time figuring out what to do sometimes. (Probably because of the ass-awful cutscenes). But as the other guy said, try X2 first.

I'm not a Star Wars fan, and I might not be playing this mod, but I feel compelled to say to you "AWESOME WORK!" Â OFP never ceases to amaze me what can be done with it. P.S. Was that Rick Moranis or Darth Vader? Â He looks kind of skinny... P.P.S. Â I really loved the shot of the.... (trying to recall the name of them...) Â TIE fighters were flying over Malden, or whichever island it was... (been awhile since I played OFP) Â And it reminded me of a wish I had a long time ago for an alien invasion mod.... Â You can look up the thread, it's probably the only one with anal probes mentioned. Â P.P.P.S. and and *edit* I just looked up anal probes, and I couldn't find the post. It was awhile ago. Perhaps anal probes are now against the forum rules. But my Idea involved spaceships, Area 51, strange craft in the sky, Cows, and yes, Anal Probes came up in the post I don't think there's an addon for those yet though... Come to think of it there's no Grey alien addon yet either.... I'm not trying to derail this thread here, sorry just rambling.... But come on you OFP Guru's, give us a Humans VS. Aliens mod.... with good storyline and everything! Where's the BEER smilie??? Uh-Oh, I should've started a new thread....

Download the campaignfix...and then the english version edit: did you patch your ofp with the offical V1.96 ? If so use the FLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.EXE not the FLASHPOINTBETA.exe I tried making sure I'm running official 1.96 not Beta anymore and it still stops working after the missing addons: objects message. Â I thought that Beta and Official 1.96 were exactly the same file? That mission objects thingy is a strange error...download the fixed campaign and you should be fine Ok I guess I just didn't install the campaign fix correctly and now it works... QUESTION for all: Where can I find a FREE UNRAR utility? Mine keeps screwing all my installs up because it doesn't save my preferences and I forget. Anyways, about the MOD/Campaign... HOLY CRAP it's AWESOME. It's like a movie. The atmosphere is amazing. Very well done. However, so-far... I have not needed to use any tactics at all... I'm at Sektor 7 now. I think it's great what you've done with OFP and don't take this the wrong way but have you considered directing movies? Really guys, this is great stuff and I'm lovin' it. "I'm lovin it *TM* McDonalds Canada." Please don't take that as grease and cheese... As I said this MOD is an amazing piece of digital artwork. And as I also said I'm only at Sektor 7. But what I am trying to say is that without a tactical engagement scenario, OFP isn't what it's supposed to be.... But that's not right either. OFP can be many different things as pioneers like yourselves are proving. OFP is the road to the future. Thank you for Conspiracies. I am enjoying it. In a nutshell.

Yup I get the "missing MAAM addon" message first, then when I go to start the campaign I get a missing "Objects" addon. What do you mean Sled when you say we should have a clear addon folder? I disabled all other addons that were running. A comprehensive post about this would be enlightening. Also, anyone have Win-RAR tell you that "there has been new files created or modified since you tried to UNRAR this file" or something like that when you open the English Version Patch .RAR file? What's goin on there? (I'm suspicious of a virus these days....)

I just downloaded the MOD, but the missions download doesn't work! Where can I find the missions??? Thanks.

I heard somewhere EB games pulled Boiling Point off it's shelves. I was stupid enough to get it when it came out and IT SUCKS. It could be a fun game but they have a lot of bugs to fix.

Can we drive tractor-trailer rigs in this one??? If not I'm not buying it. lol.

Anyone heard any word on what the machine specs will actually be on OFP2 yet??

As enthusiasts for open ended non-linear games I thought this would be the appropriate place to present this dillema... As we all know, GTA : San Andreas is comin out for PC next month. Â WOOT! Â Who doesn't like GTA?? Â I should've added a poll to this post.... How can I add a poll to this post??? Anyways, I found out about a new game, Boiling Point: Road to Hell by Atari comin out before GTA.... I checked out the vids and the info and it's lookin' good.. real good. Â I suppose, to answer my own question, I should just be Zen and wait... but I know I won't. Â So I'd love your feedback on this... I searched google for Boiling Point's homepage but all I found that worked, curiously, was Atari Australia's page. http://www.atari.com.au/games/overview.do?id=275 P.S. Â sorry if this been posted before did a search for "boiling point"
