whenever i load arma2 (CO) via steam a command line box briefly appears with all sorts of stuff which. some of the lines say invalid etc which sounds worrying. the game loads fine right enough but im just wondering why the command box appears when loading?

ArmA 2 Game Launcher
tony1977 replied to SpiritedMachine's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : Community Made Utilities
is it normal to be unable to use the steam overlay or even alt tab out while using this launcher? after i tried to alt tab the only way out was a hard boot. im running CO. -

ArmA 2 Game Launcher
tony1977 replied to SpiritedMachine's topic in ARMA 2 & OA : Community Made Utilities
was a manual ever released for this very useful launcher? im having problems joining servers. i have a combined arms installation but the servers keep saying bad version. when i click on server i get the activate mods option. i click yes and it says arma2+OA executable not found even though i have the exe files listed in the launcher. also, my understanding of installing mods is this. i place the mod folder in my arma2 folder. i then open the launcher, open the addons tab and drag the mod over to the group folder. when i then tick the mod box it alters the shortcut, clicking the start button will load the game with mods? do i have that right? if this is correct then whats the create shortcut option for? ps, lol ok my head is fried now. im tryin to install the ASR AI mod and it has a keys and user config file. do i just dump them in the main arma 2 folder as well and enable with the launcher? -
i did ask i another thread but got no response. anyways, thanks for the link. another good result. im assuming the above mods are compatible? im also gonna try ACE mod at some point, the same question goes for that mod.

awesome, sounds like exactly what i was lookin for. now if only there was a mod where AI would heal squad mates automatically.

Manhatten safe house problem
tony1977 replied to Magel282's topic in ARMA 2 & OA - OFFICIAL MISSIONS
if i dont make it in a timely fashion to the safe house does this mean im screwed and i cant progress? i dont have a previous save. -
you really dont want to do this. by using a hoover you can actually suck up tiny components which will ruin your system. best to use a tin of compressed air to blow the dust out. hoovers and pcs arent a good mix.
-
it must have been cos i was in the vehicle. no probs.

managed to get the mines cleared eventually but team switch defo aint working. ive checked the keys and its still T by default. i done a forum search and someone said that team switch is only available in single missions whens its been enabled but the pop up defo says i should be able to team switch in this campaign mission. did it work for anyone else on this mission?

The Unsung MOD (Vietnam War) Arma 2 Release
tony1977 replied to sgt_savage's topic in ARMA 2 & OA - ADDONS & MODS: COMPLETE
does this mod have a decent sized mp community. id like to try it but would be interested to hear if many people use it online? does it have a lot of single player content? -
im startin to get a bit frustrated with missions where im in command of a large squad. team members get injured and it becomes a real micromanagement chore to constantly issue heal orders, i seem to spend more time doin that than actual combat. is there any way to automate it so that squad mates heal each other?
-
that blurb is for the upcoming arma3 isnt it. so the medics are automated then but they only attend other AI squaddies if they are close to death?

ArmA2 / OA (low) performance issues
tony1977 replied to R3fl3x's topic in ARMA 2 & OA - TROUBLESHOOTING
hi, ive just recently bought OA after hearing that it might perform better thank arma2. on most of the default missions it does and im gettin smooth framerates (30+) but in some other missions (start of campaign for example) where the mission takes place in a built up area it drops down to low 20's and becomes very choppy. i found the following tip 5. Disable AToC (open your ArmA2OA.cfg and change "AToC=7;" to "AToC=0) i cant find the cfg file though. the cfg file for arma 2 is in my documents folder but not so for OA. any ideas?
