Hey wizbomb, it's not written in stone that you would get better fps using windows 7. I have a dualboot XP & W7 and for me XP performs way better than w7. My armamark in XP: 5642.29 and my armamark in Windows 7: 4277.17 Same setting & drivers etc Dont know why, but thats how it is on my system.

Well, when running Arma-Mark 2 I get 5642.29 in XP (32) and 4277.17 in windows 7 (64) So there's a big difference. All the same settings in arma2 (1920X1080) and Nvidia-control panel (latest drivers) So im stickin with XP, when it comes to playing Arma 2.

This is great, but shouldn't the maxmem command be 2047 instead of 2048 ? Didn't some developper say that if its anything over 2047 it resets to default or something? I might be wrong tho ?

played this again, decided to take a different route: went first for the camp and anti-air, after that stole the apc at the camp, then destroyed the radio tower, after that called for hind and support troops, killed tristan and went searching for the survivors and they are nowhere to be found! Looked at all the places marked at the map, but couldn't find any of them. Is it possible that theres some kind of bug that they are not where the map markers are? or that they have disappeared alltogether? I looked all around the markers, under trees etc, but didnt find a single soldier.:confused:

Oh, ok. If it's a story, and this is the beginning of it, it's fine that it is fairly easy. Yep, no bug when playing through second time. Well, i have nothing more to add, this is a great mission, and i'm waiting how this story continues :)

Hey is that G36C what you get if you play with the addons? I play without the addons and the weapon i get is the default one from razor-campaign, the one with the shitty HOLO-sight. I hate that weapon :) Just managed to play through this a second time from start to finish, maybe you could add some random enemy soldiers to the first part (before the apc and tanks) cos its pretty easy to blow up the weapons at the trainyard, get the first intel and disable the AA launchers. Theres only little resistance when doing those tasks.

This mission is just ridicilous. Dont understand how anyone could finish it with the time limit etc.

Nice mission so far. one thing that im having trouble is, when the enemy tanks come in, i am suppose to get air support ? co's nothing happens, the tanks just roam around and no air support or missiles come in. After i loaded a save one of the tanks got hit by a missile, but another one just stood there and nothing happened, i managed to hit it with my rpg round (i had one left) but it wasnt enough, even the crew didnt bail, wich is what usually happens when you damage a tank. Other than that, really good. One suggestion would be that, if you could add that before the mission begins you could select different weapons for your squad, maybe some silenced weapons etc :) edit: (i was playing without addons)

Yep, and one of your guys has a satchel, so you dont have to carry one. Just order him to set a satchel at the radio tower, move to safe distance, and order him to detonate. Voila.

Yea i waited for the BTR for a while (i even increased the time speed) but it never came. :) Ill start the mission over and see how it goes :)

Yeah, im pretty sure, that i got the message that the village was clear. I healed all my men and the survivors with the medic that i found in the forest. I'll try again with a different approach and see how it goes.

To me this has been the easiest scenario to complete. You dont even have to move from your starting position. Just send in the chopper, flank with armour (watch the minefield) and drop the bombs in the town with the planes (check the map where's lots of enemies) and watch the fireworks. After that send in the infantry squads if theres any enemy left hiding. Sometimes just sending the helicopter and armour gets the job done. Nice mission btw unlike the last single player scenario (where you play as napa), wich i havent been able to finish yet.

I'm getting this problem: I have killed tristan, cleared the village and found the survivors. Now i'm heading to the camp, when i try to call for the hind support the game always crashes to desktop "arma 2 has stopped responding" :) Edit: I noticed that i should destroy anti air in the camp before calling air support, maybe thats why it crashed. Managed to clear the camp, went to the extraction zone (last objective) with all survivors, but mission did not end.

Any ideas why Charlie and Delta -teams just stand there and dont do anything after the helicopter landing?

How many survivors should there be in the forest? iv'e only found two. Seems like a good mission so far, little constructive criticism tho, you should get someone to help you with the english translation, and theres still some german left in, example: one of the survivors probably died on me and the mission ended with a german message. Other than that, seems really well made :)

Exactly, thats the way we like it ! Not just in games / entertainment, but in other aspects of life too :)

Really nice mission ! Im at the last tunguska and one of my men got killed, so had to abort, but so far really liked the mission. Theres probably more suprises ahead :) Liked your previous mission also. Maybe you will try to put a solid campaign together in the future :) would really like to see that. Anyway looking forward for new missions from you. :)

I posted this some while ago in the Arma Mark -thread: Now that i have overclocked my cpu more. I get 5529.54 in XP and 4400 or something in Vista (cant remember the exact number) So for me XP definetly works better.

Nice little mission. Was littlebit lost at the beginning co's me and my gunner couldn see any hostiles, but i got the hang of it after a while :) Hope to see more helicopter missions soon, i like flying helos... atleast in 3rd person when i can see better :), have to practise more in first person.

I have to agree with what has been said in this thread. I can't remember another game that has so many bugs (big & small) in the singleplayer campaign. Also another thing what feels cheap about the campaign, is that what ever decisions you make, you get the same tasks in the next missions, only with a slight difference in the dialogue. That being said, i still like this game ALOT for the simulator and tactic feel of it compared to other military-type of games, hope the bugs etc get fixed. One thing that would be good, is that there should be more games in this genre, the competition could do good to this franchise... Lets see how the new Operation Flashpoint turns out... even tho i don't have high hopes for it.

One way is that you give order " GEAR " to the soldier that's out of ammo or running low, and he will go to the nearest place where to get ammo or change gear, like fallen soldier etc. When the soldier gets there, the gearbox/window opens and you can manually select the weapon or ammo he gets. Thats the way i usually do it, co's if you give him the order to "re-arm at that truck" etc, they always come back empty handed :mad: stupid sob's they are:yay:

I always tought this little lag was normal, as i had it in arma 1 also, not as much as in the video posted, but slight lag that i felt, and couldnt always aim fast and precisely. I tought that it was suppose to be there because arma is a simulator and slower pace than some other fps. I have this lag in arma 2, but sometimes i get more of it, sometimes little less, i tought it was performance/fps related, but i guess its not. I tested this higher view distance and noticed that it reduced the lag ! Normally i would and do use the default view distance. q9650 @ 3,5 GTX285 4gb ram Windows XP

Yeah this happens to me also, very irritating. I'm playing the campaign, flying around with hind, and my gunner keep switching weapons even i dont tell him to. Not to mention that my razor team dont obey any orders, they just stand still. Glad i can buy other units at this point in the mission who do as they are told Also later in the campaign, sometimes when i try to save the game just crashes.

nice performance. you could try the -maxmem2047= command, it may help you squeeze little more fps even.

the farm is just right below thw village in the map. there's a hill with a castle ruins right nex to the farm. theres a dude standing at the farm you need to talk to him. if he doesnt talk to you, you maybe need to talk to the villagers first so that they tell you that the man supports chedaki.
