AA: SLI 64xS - im pretty sure that if you use "SLI AA" you can not use SLI for 3d rendering, its one or the other. I guess that is why the flickering has stopped for you. Best way to test is to turn on SLI visual indicators. About nhancer though... I am using the new beta nvidia drivers (185.20 Vista64) and I was able to stop the flickering by: 1. selecting my arma profile form the nhancer list 2. go to the options menu and select "Allow override of predefined settings" 3. Select the "Sli-Mode" Tab 4. At the bottom of this tab press the "AFR2" button 5. launch Arma (I recommend when doing these kind of tests you run Fraps and turn on SLI visual Indicators form the NV cntrl pnl) I don't yet know if this is giving me the same performance increase as SLI did with the PreFlickering drivers, ill have to do more testing. 185 Â NV drivers : http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=283367 Â although, I dont think you will need these for this fix. Should work with other 18x.xx drivers.

anything above 30 FPS will give you smooth, uninterrupted mouse control/aiming, unless you are running out of ram and the game will start paging (freezing momentarily/stuttering).

Blame Nvidia, everyone using SLi in Arma is having the same problem. Since the 1.8x.xx drivers this has been happening. NV Vista driver bug report: https://surveys.nvidia.com/index.j....b4a437a

I totally agree

http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard311/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=67;t=75967 Check this thread out, its the best CTI I have played for Arma yet. Â Also, you can relive all those fond OFP memories with the legacy islands. Only prob is you never really see any one play anything that needs addons online, so I guess you would need to find and join some community/clan to get some multiplayer action going. I would have thought that by now Arma would of had its own popular CTI mission using just the base files and island so anyone could join, but it never really seemed to happen. Â I think Warfare has had a lot to do with that. Its a great mission and I think everyone was very grateful for it. But its not quite CTI as we OFP players know it.

Great mod, looks awesome. But, I tried to use this (without the smoke block) on an evo server and the smoke is just default, if I host a mission I get the effects. Is there anyway clients can use this mod without the server running the mod? Most graphical effect mods seem to work that way normally :/

BIS:- "oh, ok then, since you asked so nicely and all. We were just going to keep it for a rainy day, we didn't realise you guys wanted it" lol

tried the 181, no luck. I gave SFR a go and it works, but I know from my previous experimentation that AFR2 (Nvidia recommended) gives me far better performance than SFR, in fact iirc SFR gives me worse FPS than single GPU mode.

The only ones who can fix this are Nvidia and they probably wont bother, or realise its a major issue affecting a lot of users unless they are told about it. So..do your duty, here is the nividia bug report form for drivers https://surveys.nvidia.com/index.j....b4a437a thanks

I Play Evolution on various different servers most nights. It seems to me that since the past month or maybe a bit more, server stability seems to have gone to the dogs. Nearly any server I join now ends up with "Loosing connection" message and when you go back to the lobby the server has crashed. Crashes did used to happen for sure, I would say about one in three games. But now it just seems really really bad, I cant remember the last time I was playing online and decided to stop playing myself, cause Id had enough, not because the server crashed, which happens all the time now. Has anyone else noticed this? Is it only Evolution?

Please post your SLI issues on the nvidia forum link I posted above. Ill be unimpressed if they release a 180 whql with this flickering. thanks

Well, I have found a new server to play Evo on, Wild Aces. And guess what? not one crash in two nights. I was getting paranoid that it was a mod I was using or that it was because I play on the same server with 2 PCs behind the same external IP address. But no, it was was just damn flaky servers. Thank you Wild Aces for an excellent server. love the Mando additions too.

Think I have Vsync off already, Ill check later, cheers. I am on Vista 64 bit but I don't think its a 64 bit issue, I think Nvidia just messed up the profiles while fixing some thing else. I also tried the 180.84 GTAIV beta drivers ( I have GTAIV and it does run better with those drivers) but still same flickering :/ where is the best place to post to let Nvidia know about this? Â The only place I can think of is here: http://forums.nvidia.com/index.p....orum=33 please post your issues here to make nvidia aware of the problem. cheers PS. just tried to force off Vsync, no change still flickers like a bugger

Ahh I see. I kind of like those shiny leaves . Cheers for all these mods you make man. I found a link you posted a few days ago to your list of PROPER mods, some really useful stuff there. Looking forward to trying them out. anyway, back on topic..

I am (was) using Sli in Arma with my 9800gtx's on 178.13 drivers. Worked flawlessly, one of the best examples of sli working well. But now with any kind of AFR or Nvidia Recommended SLI I get horrible flickering. Anyone else using sli tried these drivers?

Sorry for my ignorance (I haven't tried the addon yet), but what does it do (graphically)? Â Aside from changing to autumn colours and fast tree crush. I use High Shaders, does this increase performance or make the trees look better, or is it no use to some using High shading? should I wait for: A4: Probably another version with the highpoly 1st (and 2nd) LOD removed.

I suffer from the same problem. I don't know what kind of PC you need to run @ Very High textures. I have 2x9800gtx 512 and 4 gb of ram. I am forced to use High textures because of this, but even still I get it some times. Worst offending town as far as I can see is Corazol. Â That town is a texture swapping nightmare..on a busy Evo mission. I don't know if you guys have noticed, but the worst thing about this texture swapping is that it reduces your FPS while its happening. It seems like texture swapping is to improve performance. Eg when I'm in a building in corazol, all textures I can see out the window etc are loaded fine, but then you switch to Command view and look at the outside of your building or the adjacent buildings they are all low textures, trying to load the proper ones, before you notice. Â Then you switch back to first person and objects outside the window or your gun model/uniform have gone to low res and need to load the correct textures again. Â Is this much texture swapping really needed? cant it just load all the textures immediately around you and keep them loaded?

Sweet thanks Q, great work you do

Just wanted to say thanks for the missions. I love CTI, used to play all the time on OFP in coop with a mate. I notice that Q has released a test version of Everon in ArmA WRP format. Will these missions work with the new versions of the islands or will they have to be modified?

After a few days of use I really like all the guns sounds much better than CSM1. Also, the jets sound really good. couple of little things though. Â Im not sure I like some of the explosion sounds as much as CSM1. Â The Grenade launchers sound fantastic but other explosions like vehicles blowing up dont sound as good to me. Im not sure what explosion sound it is, but there is one that I think is too detailed. you can here metal or somthing falling on the ground and it sounds too repetitive when lots of vehicles are blowing up at short intervals. Â Also I miss the old GBU sound, I think that was one of the most impressive explosions I have heard in a game. Â It did clip some times though, which is why you removed it I'm guessing. About the helicopters, they sound really good now, but I can barely hear them until they get very close. This may be intentional for realisim? I dont know, I like being able to hear them comming from a distance though. One final problem is with the sound of the transport Hummvee (maybe 50cal, tow, mk19 too), the engine is very, very loud compared to the other road vehicles. The addon is excellent, I think the main problems are just related to volume blancing/tweaking. I really appreciate the work put into it, thank you very much. P.S. I use XFI extreme music, 5.1 speakers, EAX & H/W accel are switched On.

Is it easy enough to fix the M16 bug? I'm dying to use this online. but it's very hard to not use the 30rnd stanag weapons :/ any pointers?

Euro 505 1.14 here. Sounds excellent, only problem so far is I have no ammo in my M4s when I go to test them in the armory.

Excellent News, cant wait to try it, thanks very much

Im having this problem for a while now where I cant always see everyones chat messages that appear on screen. The reason I know this is because a friend is sitting beside me playing on the same server, hes sees all the messages fine on his PC. Â It doesnt seem to be server specific but it does appear to be player specific. Â Its also nothing to do with the different channels that you can type in, it can happen with any of them. One other problem im also having is with radio comms messages, I just dont hear most of them. Its seems to worsen in busy areas, lots of AI, inf, tanks etc. Vista 64 780i mobo 4gb ram c2q9300 2x 9800gtx XFI extreme music
