    Why can't I +1 or "thumbs up" this post? :cool: ---------- Post added at 00:25 ---------- Previous post was at 00:08 ---------- I didn't say it isn't rendered twice from 2 viewpoints (just like a reflective surface does), I said "it's not twice the frames because it's still 60 fps". More polys may be rendered per frame (assuming NO allowances are made which is generally not the case) and 2 logical scenes are rendered, but just like a reflective surface such as a mirror requires, it's just a matter of viewports and the way a rendering pipeline works (vectors passed through matrices), it doesn't matter if you have 12 perspectives logically. All that matters is how many vectors (normals, and all the other goodies) are translated, scaled and rotated a given number of times. You're likely picturing a far over-simplified manner of 3D graphics that hasn't existed for 15+ years; methods that made MASSIVE words like those in Arma 3 possible. Consider this. Do you think every vector (that's an x,y,z coordinate pair if you didn't know) in processed in the entire virtual world for every frame? How do you know which to render? Do you check every one to see what's going to be visible (occlusion)? No, the process is FAR more complex and efficient now that I could begin to explain here largely because I don't know the intricacies anymore. I lost track around D3D5 (if not a bit before that). Now if you want to learn, I'll google for you, but if you want to consider taking my word for it, here's why you might be convinced to. In 1993 I was working on a gifted Zenith Data Systems 80x86 (33 MHz with math co-processor and 256K ram if I recall correctly) running DOS 3.0 (I didn't have access to 6.0 yet) and was coding in GWBasic (NO IDE). Eventually I graduated to DOS 6 with QBasic where I begin writing my own graphics routines to overcome those missing or horrificly slow in QB 4.5. To do that, I was calling out to assembly language routines that used peek/poke to work with ram directly (the portion in DOS allocated specifically for graphics), in EGA which was the best that machine could do. I built my own pipeline that could load a vector-based model from a clear text file then rotate/translate/scale that model (technically speaking, the view is modified and the model processed through the modified view) then translated a final time for screen coordinates and perspective. THAT was in 1993. Eventually I started dabbling in OGL and D3D but they were WORLDS apart and by the time I got my version of a "hello world" app done in each, I realized that I was no longer going to be able to "program games" for a living because it was going to be done by massive teams. I'd say that was around 1999. 14 years later (longer that a good chunk of the users on this forum have been alive), CGI has evolved so far that even a SINGLE aspect of it usually requires multiple people for a decent sized project. So I know enough to know that your notions are off but not enough to give a terrific explanation. Even if I did, I've already spent too much time saying this much so I'll have to leave it at this and you can think what ever you like but the fact remains that the stereoscopy approach used by the Rift doesn't require 2X processing like most others. It's not a 1x load either because if nothing else, the Rift offers a 110degree FOV where most games won't even let you go over 90degrees and few people do so anyway when their monitor represents a portal of about 45 degrees (depending on how close you stick your face to it and how large it is). Hope that provided some clarification. If not, well; I tried. ---------- Post added at 00:27 ---------- Previous post was at 00:25 ---------- Good point and it makes sense since those are major titles that 1) have done significant work to support stereoscopy already and 2) are quality titles to begin with. More reason to have hope because Arma is most definitely a quality title and I suspect that BI has already done stereo work in other projects they've been involved in ;) UPDATE: The video there of Half-Life must be understood carefully: "Head and gun tracking mod for the Rift". That likely means that the Rift tracking can feed the view in the game, but if you look at the monitor they show while he's playing, and the fraps feed, that isn't Rift-Ready in the sense that it won't render in stereo for the Rift which is the biggest challenge because the rendering pipeline has to be modified. I think if we're lucky, nVidia and ATI will see success or potential in the Rift and build support into the drivers. nVidia has had a framework for better than 10 years that allows for all sorts of stereo rendering methods so it wouldn't be a huge challenge for them to take care of the hardest part but games will still have to be modified to look good (like wide FOV, scaled HUD, etc..). Watching the Crysis video, I see no reason to think any different from the Half Life one. The rendering aspect isn't dealt with. They're just demonstrating that head/gun separation exists which is still great. I'm just clarifying.
  2. Oculus Rift support OR graphics pipeline flexibility allowing for a community mod to implement the support (head tracking should already be possible). I would donate towards this and I'm sure plenty of others would as well.
  3. Just wanted to add my 2 cents but I've said the bulk in THIS post. In summary, Arma has the most important and basic support requirements (well-done HUD and independent head-tracking) needed to place nice with the Rift and I would gladly pay a premium (like I did with KickStarter to get my Rift) to see Rift support added to Arma III.

    1) It's not twice the frames because it's still 60 fps and rendering for both eyes on each frame does not mean rendering twice. That theory would mean that adding a reflective surface would require 2x rendering for each surface. That's just not how it works. 2) "The rest is semantics" suggests that semantics are not significant but we ARE talking about computer technology where semantics are everything. 3) Your experience with stereo graphics has almost guaranteed been alternating frames and either 2x30 WAY back with LCD shutter or 2x60 (which is VERY demanding). The rift uses neither AND only renders at 720p currently, then likely 1080p next year, for public release. As a developer who is getting the Dev kit in days, works on the Leap Motion and will work with the Myo as soon as it arives (and consequently is attending Google I/O for the 3rd time this year), I assure you that I know what I'm talking about. There are significant hurdles to implementing the Rift SDK for an app that wasn't designed with their requirements in mind but that doesn't mean that all those hurtles will be so tall either. Good design patterns lend themselves to easier implementation (like a properly scaling HUD which Arma has had for some time) and independent head tracking (which Arma has also had for some time). In other words, Arma is a great candidate for the Rift AND they're still in Alpha so there's hope still.
  5. Really? Nobody here has a clue about this?
  6. Is there a way to get ArmA to recognize more than 16 buttons on a joystick? In particular, I've got a Saitek X45 and it appears that ArmA control config won't recognize buttons numbered larger than 16. This severely limits the potential of this joystick in vehicle and aircraft.

    SOLVED! My suspicion was correct. After I moved "My Documents" to a local drive (instead of a UNC path on another server), settings saved and loaded just fine.

    Here's what I came up with. I setup SysInternals Process Monitor, launched the app, then filtered out all the irrelevant garbage and below is a CSV export of the results. I don't see anything there indicating a bad attempt to open/read any sort of configuration file. Anyone else see such a thing? If you didn't know, copy the "CODE", paste into notepad, save as SOMFILENAME.csv, then open that with Excel. It will be readable then. <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> "Time of Day","Process

    Nice reply. I'll get to that reading right away and post my findings. I have a suspicion that it may have to do with Folder Redirection to a UNC path. In the meantime, get a load of this crap from Atari. I can't believe they even bothered to respond with this. IMO, it only demonstrates ignorance of their product, or laziness on their part.
  10. I'd suggest that you check your Graphics Settings and try another monitor aspect ratio. If you're set for 4:3 on a 16:9 monitor, your FOV will not be as you expect. I run a 30" @ 2560x1600 which is a 16:10 ratio, but I run 16:9 so I get a slightly wider FOV (effectively increasing my peripheral vision.

    I am an admin. In fact, I'm domain and Enterprise admin I've seen instances before where the "Run As Administrator" option isn't available (greyed out), but I don't yet know the cause or pattern. I just tested the "Right-click, run as admin" method and settings still didn't change. Where are the settings stored?

    Settings won't save

    Running Vista x64 with 8GB of ram. Fresh install of Arma patched up to 1.14 and the game launches and runs great without any tweaks/hacks to the shortcut, but none of my audio, video, or control settings will persist so I have to reset them all each time I launch the game. In case it's relevant, I'm running the latest nVideo drivers (182 I think), and TrackIR 3. Anyone know what is going on? I've tried enabling XP comatibility. Running as admin isn't available in the shortcut and I just realized I haven't tried to launch as admin.
