    Scrub this thread gents.

    Seems like i'm up the creek without a paddle on this one after spending the entire afternoon burning me eyes out reading everyones problems running the game okay.

    Will just wait for the next patch whilst I save for a better rig I suppose.

    dunno if you've seen this allready, but it might help.

    Aye. I read it, and am now crying after seeing what machines people have and what performance their getting. I really need an upgrade if i'm to get any thing out of OA. I thought there may be a little tweak or something that could help, Bum.

    Hello all,

    After finally getting arma 2 patched up to 1.07 and finally being able to play it, just about, i've hit another brickwall. Operation arrowhead.

    I have it patched to the latest (1.54) and it really is quite unplayable.

    Specs -

    8800 GTS

    AMD 64 (+4000 running at 2.4 single core)

    Windows XP pro

    two gigabyte ddr ram.

    Now I know as well as the next man that this PC might as well be in the museum next to stephenson's rocket but I have mildley enjoyed playing Arma 2 on it which doesnt actually play that bad considering it looks like the contents of the alley round the back of the local pub on a saturday morning.

    But Operation Arrowhead is an enitirely different story. It absolutly kicks the living daylights out of my machine. It seems to be okay for a while but then seem that it's reading off the hdd like wildfire whilst it pauses the game (I know it's loading the objects ingame but Arma 2 wasnt this bad) It's just so hoggy on me system but like I say Arma 2 was playable

    I have everything very low and even a resolution of 800x600, still poop.

    I have the latest Nvidia drivers. I have defraged. I have done pretty much all the basics to get it running to an okay degree, but fail

    I heard on the forums that turning off Physx in the Nvidia control panel can help but in the control panel on mine it just has the option to choose either the Gfx card on processor?

    To be honest I lost touch with PC gaming back around 2007'ish. My heyday was back in battlefield 1942 whilst running it on a Geforce fx5900...

    So basically i'm lost with all these I7's, t100's and whatever other fancy named graphics chips they have these days and I just want an okay'ish running OA. I just wondered if any of you ladies have any (ANY) tips on what I can do with my trusty old rig.

    Is there anything in the config files I can change? Or is this just a case of waiting for another patch to bring some more optimization?

    Love and kisses. :yay:

    Great stuff! Glad you released this, been drooling over it on YouTube.

    Same here my good man. I saw it on there and thought.. "Need ..it!"

    Great job Optical, going to have a download and if it looks half as good as it did on youtube then a swift change of trousers is in order tonight, maybe two..

    I barely managed to put together island, campaigns and missions will be done by community (hopefully), I'm already working on Coop/PvP missions that I'll let you know in my signature.

    Thanks icbreakr :)

    If I hadnt of been so hasty yet again I might of actually read right at the bottom of your firts post and seen that there isnt any mission with the map, dur.. :o

    Cheers for the heads up.

    Yes, open issues can be seen here and recent activity here!

    Autana: you're not doing it right, it should show up even in SinglePlayer-Editor. -mod=@Panthera should do it, make sure you have \addons dir in \@Panthera ;)

    Archangellos: thank you!

    Ah it does show up in the single player editor, but not in the campaign menu so does that mean I have to add my own edits to the map and it doesnt have any pre determined AI on it and it doesnt have a campaign?

    Sorry if it's a stupid question, i'm still getting the hang of it all and I only get about half an hour on me gaming pc before I get moaned off it.. :o

    Hello folks,

    I've been looking at this cracking island but the island doesnt show up in the campaign menu, does that mean that it's multiplayer only?

    I have installed it al by the book but how is everyone here playing it? Sorry if it's a stupid question but if it is MP only then I dont have a chance as i've only got a crappy pay as you go dongle, boo.

    Hello all :)

    Just a quick question..

    I downloaded the Sound of war mod and started playing the campaign (up to the mission where you get to free roam and get a uh to pick you up..)

    Now, I wanted to try this VOP mod and done all accordingly with the folders etc but upon trying to load my campaign game it came up with an error that I coudnt carry on playing it. something about modified content..

    Will I have to start a new campaign with this mod?

    The single core may be a problem. ArmA II is mainly a very CPU dependent game and changing settings for me does not affect performance at all other else than view distance.
    my q6600 at 2.4 ran it badly, never mind single at 2.4. get a dual/quad core, overclock to 3GHZ and it will run better.

    i oc to 3ghz and runs smoothly now

    Ah so it seems my pants single core has finally met it's doom. I'll have a go at overclocking the old fart and see what it comes up with. Wish me luck with that as I havent got a lot in the way of cooling the thing apart from a wink and a prayer..

    It's good to know what to expect though so thank you for the replys ;)

    Your right. Sorry for the harsh welcome. It just gets so old when the first topic in here is what you want and so many keeps posting new threads about it.

    You are very welcomed! :) Keep an eye out though as most things have been asked and answered. Just browse through the forum and youll learn a lot.

    Regards

    Alex

    Cheers Alex. :)

    No I can see your point to be honest and I was being a bit hasty in regards to starting a new thread without actually looking around. I guess I got too ahead of meself once again and I know threads like these are annoying to the regulars.

    I'll have a browse around. :)

    After making a thread and getting shot down i'll post this here and hope someone can answer my plight..

    Hello folks,

    I've just managed to finally bag a cheap copy of Arma 2 off ebay (£13.09p) after stalking so many sellers and being too skint to pay the full £25 in gamestation (Just dont tell the missus I bought it at all or i'll never live it down..)

    Now while timmy is hopefully packing up my game and sending it off before the postal strike hits I was wondering if you helpful monkeys could give me any indication as to what it will run like on my old faithful crud PC?

    Specs -

    AMD 64 single core 4000+ running at 2.4

    2 gigs of DDR ram 400Mhz

    8800 GTS running the latest drivers

    It is quite a basic machine that I built when I had the money way back when and I know in the back of my tiny mind that it wont run the game too well but am I facing an fps nightmare with this? I'll slog on regardless as I do like me military sims but was just wondering what i'm getting myself into..

    it's been explained several times in this and other recently opened topics how to change it back to default. It's not exactly rocket science; it takes no more than two or three minutes to do.

    In that case could you explain the steps? Might change the topic of the thread if there were some actual useful info on this right here in this thread wink_o.gif

    I'm not keen on the level of FOV myself, but I'd like something slightly more wider than FDF. If I can do this myself, I will.

    People, it's been explained already in a separate thread  wink_o.gif .

    OK, once again..

    Ok, so I tried numerous times for help but no one was intrested in helping out on the FFUR thread, so I decided to make one of myy own on the subject.

    The FOV (field of vision) on FFUR 2.0 looks ridiculous. Both for 1st person and 3rd person view. So I want to revert to FFUR 2006 FOV specs. Which look more accurate and realistic.

    Problem is, I don´t know how. Can anyone help me or guide me on how to revert?

    Hi,Pancho!

    You should look at 'Class Man : Land' entry in editable config.

    There you'll find

    fov=1.00000;

    minFov=0.420000;

    maxFov=1.000000;

    Change marked values to 0.85000 (personally I prefer 0.75000  )

    Wait, that's not all..

    Look further below for this:

    class ViewPilot: ViewPilotBase

    {

    initAngleX=8; minAngleX=-40; maxAngleX=+45;

    initAngleY=0; minAngleY=-125; maxAngleY=+125;

    initFov=1.00; minFov=0.42; maxFov=1.00;

    };

    Comment (use //) or delete marked string..or change it's values to

    initFov=0.75; minFov=0.42; maxFov=0.75;

    Now you can do usual cpp>bin and replace original config.bin.

    Good Luck!

    CAHEK, Thank you very much for that smile_o.gif

    cheers.

    I just want to play it with the default FOV back in place sad_o.gif

    i tried to mod it with the usable config but i couldnt find the soldier FOV line to change it back to 0.7 as someone suggested earlier in the thread, for some reason it just seems too much in 1024x768 and i can only handle five minutes of playing it at a time because it gives me eye strain where i'm trying to spot enemys far away

    other than that it is a brilliant mod, thank you for it, i have never played OFP before and i'm feeling a right arse for not trying it sooner  smile_o.gif
