Hiya Hitman, Yeah I have it installed but the command seems to be fromdos not dos2unix.. anyway i'm gonna nuke this sucka and start fresh.. thx though..

Hmmm.. I'm gonna just reinstall everything and start fresh.. I've messed with so many things at this point that I'm farther from the objective than when I started..Plus It'll give me a change to update my @ACE, @CBA, etc..

lol..ok. I created the file in linux but edited it with ubuntu's notepad maybe thats how it go screwed up.. thx ---------- Post added at 02:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 AM ---------- roby@Jagger:~/arma2$ dos2unix arma2server.sh dos2unix: command not found possiby is the command "fromdos arma2server.sh"? ..eh..no luck with that either.. fromdos: Unable to access file arma2server.sh

Hi Folks, I've installed arma2server-1.05.62021 on my fresh Ubuntu 10.4 box. The install seemed to go without problems and the server starts without errors. I get to the map screen but it kicks me out to the lobby after I hit the continue button. This happens when I tried with no mods (pure BIS.. no ACE, CBA, etc..) or If I try with mods. I've trolled the forum search but I seem to be missing something. The file server.cfg.. Does it get created as part of the install or am I supposed to make it myself? I read a zillion posts on editing this file but none on having to create it. Also, the "server.log" file.. I cant seem to find this log for the arma2 server. I'm not completely new to linux but where arma2server puts this bad-boy I don't know. Here's the text from the terminal window from server start through player log on.. roby@Jagger:~/arma2$ ./server 10:36:48 Dedicated host created. 10:36:49 BattlEye Server: Initialized (v1.069) 10:36:49 Host identity created.

Solved my performace problems so far..

Hi folks, I'm using a 2009 mac pro 8-core,2.26Ghz dual xenon 6gb ram, gtx285 mac edition, bootcamp vistax64. This game ran great all sliders maxed @2048x1152 until the mission where you had to "kill the sniper in the factory complex" then all the textures would go white and crazy and the game would stutter and CTD. Since build 58926 game is once again playable..will test futher

Hiya, I'm running arma2 on a mac (2009) macpro w/gtx285 and didn't have any problems running @2048x1152 all sliders full bast until the mission in the campain where a squad is pinned down by a sniper in a factory complex.. no matter what settings i use textures go white, ultra choppy then CTD. Oh, i couldn't even start the game until v1.03 too..OH, bootcamp/vistax64 btw

Um.. That is unitl I got to the mission where a squad is pinned down by sniper fire from a factory complex.. That mission is unplayably choppy and the textures all go white... Then CTD..:mad:

In case any other Mac users are looking at this game here's my experience so far. I have a duel xenon (2.27Ghz) 6gigRAM (3 per cpu) and a evga gtx285 and I run Arma2 with rez @ 2048x1152 and settings maxed and without shutting off vsync or anything. However I am getting the occasional CTD. Nvidia driver 8.15.11.9038.. Seems to crash in MP more than the campain. The game wouldn't run at all until patch 1.03..
