  1. Yeah, and I finally found a way to play A2 with extremely good performance.
  2. Because its shitty, old gfx card and it wont manage even highly optimised game with smooth graphic engine like ArmA2 - even on low settings and low resolution. Better sell this sh*t and buy GTX370. There is a chance you probably be able to play A2 on medium settings then.

    Poor performance...

    Damn, I have pretty good rig - C2D 3GHz, GTX260, 4GB RAM, I can run most games in 1680x1050 with high settings and full AF, sometimes with 2x or 4x AA. With A2, everything on low or disabled I'm getting 10-20fps in Chernogorsk. Don't tell me there is something wrong with my computer...
  4. I'm trying to do the same thing but no success. Tried to get caa1 and oac thorugh YAS and the newest files throug GIT, tried different island packs (CWR, ofpip, aceip), tried replacement packs - CWR, P85 and I'm unable to start PMC Fury...

    PMC Chernarus campaign

    Notes for the first mission tell me that I should arm my team for long deployment. But I can't find a way to change my gear. Is there some place on the carrier where I can pick new weapons?

    HDR Problem?

    This is my screen right after loading mission: As you can see gamma/brightness settings are good and game is playable. Then, after few seconds my screen looks like this: Game is totally screwed and unplayable. I didn't change any settings, didn't look at the sun. I've tried with different drivers, HDR settings in Arma.cfg - no luck. The screen become extremely bright and stays this way. Sometimes Alt+Tab helps but not always. I have 2x GF8800GT, SLI works with FEAR profile. Intel Q6600 stock - no OC, WinXP 1680x1050, all settings maxed out except postprocessing. Does anyone have solution for this?

    Graphics anomaly

    Yes, I've noticed that it sometimes helps for some glitches but you won't notice any fps gain. Also It didn't help me for HDR screen flashing. Also, when Vsync is off it's IMPORTANT to have Triple Buffering turned ON. I suppose that was probably what helped me to get rid of my flashing screen problems.

    Graphics anomaly

    Afaik, if you're using Vista you can't disable vsync because OS don't allow this. Regardless of your settings you won't get more fps than your refresh rate. In XP it is important to turn vsync off in GLOBAL profile, not game profile, BEFORE you enable SLI. Don't use default ArmA SLI profile. Use nHancer to copy ArmA profile and disable default one. Then change SLI Mode to New AFR. Also, make sure your X-Fi is in Game Mode.

    ArmA vs SLI

    I've built brand new PC, especially for ArmA/OFP2. I decided to spend more money for high-end components to bulit future-proof machine. So, after two weeks I had C2D Quad Core 2,4GHz + 2x 8800GT + X-Fi Xtreme Gamer + 7200rpm HDD with 16MB cache + custom cooling system PC on my desk. I was so happy. Until I started ArmA. I've experienced many problems: - not working SLI - poor SLI performance - crash to desktop - OS hangs - missing textures - poor SLI performance - crash to desktop - nvidia drivers crash - screen constantly becoming bright white - white epileptic screen flashing and blinking - poor SLI performance I tried many drivers, about 20-30 versions from early 169 to beta 174. Nothing helped. Some drivers make game stable but breaks other things. Someone suggested that 2.4 GHZ cpu is not sufficient for twoo 8800s so I've changed it to 3GHz C2D. No improvement besides increase in 3DMark06 score. Someone else suggested that 560W PSU is to weeak for SLI so I've changed it to 1000W SLI-ready PSU with separate channels for each card. Nothing changed. One day I decided to pull out one GFX card. Reinstalled drivers, reinstalled ArmA. From this moment I have: - stable Arma, no CTD's - no graphic glitches, no HRD problems - high performance, with only one card I can play 1680x1050, everything on very high except shadow details, visibility 3km - no more stuttering Now I am happy. So, my advice for those who are considering buying new computer, especially for ArmA (during my research I've noticed many games have similar problems with SLI): STAY AWAY FROM SLI! Buy one 8800gtx instead of two 8800GT/GTS. It is immature technology which may increase performance but eventually gives you more headache than it's worth...

    ArmA vs SLI

    I, personally, cannot agree. For gaming and for daily use there is no really benefit from having 4 cores. And this comes from my short experience with vista nad core quad. It is much faster with 3GHz C2D. (and gives more 3DMarks) Buy Q6600 and in short time you'll just find yourself stuck with outdated 2,4GHz cpu. That is of course my personal opinion.

    ArmA vs SLI

    And you don't have any problems with HDR? No flashing?

    ArmA vs SLI

    For the price of Q6600 you can have E6850. ArmA, like most games uses only one core, so basically it is the matter of 2,4GHZ vs 3GHz CPU. If you don't plan to use some graphics design or mathematics software - higher clocked dual core is better choice.

    ArmA vs SLI

    I've tried EVERYTHING - fear.exe, gothic2.exe, 3dmark06.exe, messing with almost all profile settings with nHancer... It is true that fear.exe tweak works - it gave me few more fps and full SLI bar. But didnt help for HDR flashing and CTD's.

    HDR Problem?

    I've installed a fresh v1.08 ArmA on Vista and the problem disappeared. Moreover, it runs very smooth and stable on 169.25 forceware and F.E.A.R SLI profile. I was afraid of Vista problems with games but I have to say I'm surprised about how good it works with ArmA.

    Xam 1.4 released

    Same here doesn't fit in many missions. Besides the environment sounds of FDF_Sounds are overwritten which is a pity. Moreover, it destroys my 5.1 headphones surround effect. There should be simple way to turn off background battle sounds.
  17. Beta 169.28 - for the first time ArmA runs stable and actually uses SLI on my Q6600, 2x 8800GT, WinXP

    DMA TOYOTA WARS

    Think about further changes in ECP config - include retextured jungle BAS Government/OpFor vehicles. That's what I did with my ECP. Now I'm replaying PMC Fury on desert islands with desert units.

    FFUR - Huge Release !!

    Honestly, I prefer locke anims over the new one (i'm currently changing my config) Try to run this way in real life, you will need good dentist and a very good plastic surgeon... P.S. I already have excellent nordic islands from ffureuro - should I download the new ffur2006 islands pack? What's new there?

    FFUR - Huge Release !!

    I tried to play this mission 4 times. The Cobra always dies after few seconds without giving any single shot... My squad is decimated, the AI precision at high distance is ubelievable... 4th time - CTD I don't even think to try PMC Fury without a little tweaking... There ale many issues I don't like in all ffurs (I always delete resource.cpp, change sounds, this time I had to delete anims.pbo because of menu fade effect) but, we have config.cpp so it is good platform for customization. Putting all these new models, scripts, vehicles and weapons together in one config with a few pbo's is a damn good work. I think ffur2006 will establish standard until next generation game comes out. tb84 - you should think about implementing something similar to ECP DSAI & RC in next release - I can't leave ECP completely and move to ffur because I love when my men scream "Armooor! I see armor! Get doown!"
