  1. hi, ive read that a good way to test if your cpu is bottlenecking your system is the following. test the game at an extremely low resolution. If your framerates improve, then CPU bottleneck is not your issue. If framerates stay the same, then CPU bottleneck could be your issue. is this true?

    reverting save game crash?

    ive just had this happen as well in arma2. i initially started a campain on win 7 64 bit. everythin was fine up until the 5th or 6th mission (the one where you have to track down tupolov. when i went to reload the save game the fps went from 25-30 fps right down to 10 which was unplayable. i then reinstalled the game on my xp 32 bit OS as ive read that performance can be better. i restarted the mission and the fps was back up to 25-30 fps again, so far so good. i just tried reload the mission and am now gettin the error message the OP posted. im almost at the end of the road with arma2 now. ive spent way more time tryin to get the game runnin at an acceptable level that i have playin the damn thing. and yes, all my drivers are up to date and ive got the latest patch. if ive now lost all that progress then i done with it!:mad:
  3. it appears ive posted this in the wrong forum, dumbass that i am:rolleyes:
  4. i was just curious to know if everyone else whos played the arma2 campaign had similar issues and if there were mods that helped obviously not. cheers for the tips anyways.
  5. wanna explain what you mean by that a bit better? by default, the AI squadmates should follow me but they always end up laggin behind. when i then order regroup thats when they normally get lost. even when i sometimes issue move orders they will head of in the opposite direction. there defo seems to be some pathfinding issues.
  6. i was lookin for somethin similar. are there any mds out there that improve the squad AI so for example they dont get lost as the try to follow me. or they dont just keep gettin lost in general:(
  7. hi, im finding controlling the AI very frustating in that they wont go where i say and they even get lost when they're meant to be following me. ace is the big mod for arma 2 right? does this do anything with the AI to help with the above issues?
  8. hi, i found this following piece of info from a guide to improving gaming performance. Blazing Performance! If you want to take it a step further, if you buy an additional hard drive, you can, if you are running Windows XP Professional, and with a little work and reconfiguring set-up dynamic disks with striping (equivalent to a RAID 0 configuration) and basically double your hard drive access speed by taking advantage of NTFS striping function where data is stored across two drives. The performance boost is tremendous – literally 200%. Once you’ve experienced the performance boost gained by striping you will never want to go back to a single drive “basic†disk system. im runnin win 7 64 bit and have a 2nd hard drive installed which has xp pro on it. does anyone here have such a configuration? if so, how is it done? cheers

    super ai

    hi, just got a query bout the super AI option. ive read that it maxes out all the AI bots you meet in the campaign. how many people play with it on? im lookin for a realistic, challenging experience. what i dont want is the AI to have superhuman skills which would make the game very frustating. also, i see that its possible to play the campaign coop in OA. is this also possible in arma2?

    arma2 betas?

    hi, would i be right in sayin that there are no more betas for arma2, as in 1.07 is the last update?
  13. it took me forever to get the team on location usin the regroup command but they got there eventually and the cutscene happened. and your right, for some reason the performance is slightly better with shadows on very high, strange one that! is there any way to stop miles gettin killed after the cut scene or is that meant to happen?
  14. hi, im on the siege of chernogorsk mission. the 1st objective is to kill the sniper which ive done. the 2nd objective is to get the high ranking officer called lopotev. im supposed to find him in a large warehouse but when i get to the warehouse there isnt any way in! ive been all the way round it several times but i cant find an actual door to gain access. its defo the correct location cos the objective flag is right beside it. what am i doin wrong?
  15. so with all the latest beta i still struggle to get over 20 fps in these campaign missions.
