If its set to open a specific file association then right click the downloaded file and choose OPEN WITH. Thats a way to get around file association being "wrong". Dont think its your problem, but just something to remember. ;)

Ok, well they rock. :) BTW did you change engine sounds etc? Noticed the LAV doesnt use TRSM (i think) and i basically only started to think of it as there is no engine turn off sound. It just cut out abrubtly and i think it wasnt like that with TRSM. Anyway im in it right now testing things out and i just noticed this. Very happy with it. ;)

OA buildings are easier to move inside due to more "swing-space" (sorry bit of swenglish), but more room to operate. If its made for AI i cant say, but i would think its easier for them to move in there for sure.

Regarding HT with the 1.05 official patch you have to use the startup parameter -CpuCount=4 added to your ARMA2 shortcut (target field at the end of the arma2.exe path). In the latest beta (wich also up performance for many) the above startup parameter is added to the startup by default wich will be the new standard for the official patch as well. When HT is on many have lots of stuttering so go ahead and test the startup parameter or use the latest beta. Also change the ARMA2.CFG to: GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1; GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=1; If you havent done this you should give it a try. I have them set to "1" but if thats too fast/jerky for you then try "2" on both and see if thats better (max is 4. Try through all if you want to find best feeling). This has a big impact on the feeling of the game (mouse). To me personally it makes the game feel faster and more direct in feeling AKA "better FPS" even if its an illusion.

Performance is being adressed constantly. Just check the beta thread if you havent. The betas are aimed at fixing bugs but also to get us better performance. And your "wants" arent anything new. Please search the forum next time before starting a new thread. ;)

Just got time to test the latest ACE. What a great piece of work it is. :) Big thanks also to tpM for getting tons of immersion in the latest ACE_SM. The metal clinks here and there while moving, bullet cracks and impacts they all add to a very intense experience. Sounded very real when i did a mission. Great work guys.

So far theres been no crash on my system in this latest beta. So it seems like the last (and only beta that crashed me) problem was fixed for my system. Also running -exThreads=7

See if the other crash is fixed as well. Previous beta crashed me both times i played it.

I had my first CTD with a beta when i tested this one yesterday (vanilla A2). I was in Chernogorsk and was turning around when it happened. I usually test this with the betas to feel it out and it never gave me a CTD. Will test more when i get home from work.

First post edited with additional download link. Hopefully its a fast one.

Thanks HyperU2. Adding the beta to my webspace and updating the first post to include it if anyone else has problems with downloading from the official site. We so need to clean this thread up. :)

Anyone with the beta installation file can host it? Langgis08's link is to beta through Rsync wich shouldnt work. Not even for Rsync'ers since it isnt installed but just put in your beta folder.

Thanks langgis08. :) Will host it from my webspace with fast connection. Will update this post.

In this section you may discuss the creation of an addon your either starting to create or that you seek help to get it done from fellow addon makers. This is not the place for telling addon makers how they should create their addons. However if you do want it the way your asking then the addon request thread is the place as pointed out (see top sticky in this section). And please skip the attitude telling addon makers how it should be done as im sure that wont help getting them inspired. Closing.

Anyone with the patch can help out host it for a little while? Still no go over here been trying for over an hour.

Yep very slow. Timed out for me bunch of times. Now its struggling at 25kb/s. :)

Rocks and bushes are present so its not completelly flat. But less cover than ARMA2 when your out of the green or rocky areas thats for sure (Takistan). :)

Always delete the beta folder by hand and then install the new beta. That is the best way and it never gives me "This program didnt install correctly". I have Win7 as well. Never get that message since i started deleting the folder by hand. Also, tested -CpuCount=6 and sure enough there is activity in 6 cores. Equal amount on all roughly. When i remove that param i have the same activity on 4. How much it helps i have no clue about, but it works. :)

Gulag: What is your settings and system specs? You might gone too far in some setting to CTD. havent had a single CTD in the betas. Im sure you prolly know all pitfalls by now, but there are some that actually causes CTD's. Like wrongly set VRAM in game. Thanks BIS yet again for moving forward. Nice to skip disabling HT for those that had to do it. :)

So make it the old fashioned reliable way. Right click your ARMA2 shortcut (that starts the game - maybe on your desktop?). Choose properties. Under the shortcut tab you find the target field wich holds the path to your ARMA2.EXE. One of my modlines (got some in a text file) is as follows: "x:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\beta\arma2.exe" -mod=beta;@CBA;@ACE;@ACEX;@ACEX_PLA;@ACEX_SM;@XTRA;Islands;@FX;@SAP;@TRSM -nosplash -cpucount=4 -exThreads=7 -world=empty "x" being drive letter so i made it x as i dont know where your ARMA exe is - just to clarify. Ok first you have -mod= (with 1 space between itself and the path!) wich is the parameter to run mods. Next comes beta and this is only if you run the beta of course and you can also see its in my path. Again this is cause i run betas over official patches - just ignore if you dont. Otherwise just add your folder(s) directly like this: -mod=@AllMyMods -nosplash -cpucount=4 -world=empty If you want 2 mod folders then separate them with a semicolon ";" so it looks like this: -mod=@AllMyMods;@SomeOtherMod -nosplash -cpucount=4 -world=empty -nosplash loads the game faster and so does -world=empty. You can add the island of your choice though like -world=utes and it will be loaded at start so its faster to go into the editor or start a mission on that particular island. -cpucount=4 is for quad cores with HT on so you might want to skip that one too if your running a dual core or have HT off. -exThreads=7 is for the latest beta only so again - skip if you dont use it. This is the good old fashioned "hardcore" way, and it works all the time. Good luck. :)

Please state all the important hardware. Should help BIS even more. ;)

Tested some example missions and freeroamed on Utes and Cherna with ExThreads=7. No crashes. FPS seems good. Will dig a bit deeper and test ExThreads=5 as well. Thanks BIS.

Hi Whiskey Delta & Welcome. :) But please use the existing OA discussion thread for questions about OA. Take note though - not the OA Press Release thread. That is for news only. ;) Closing.

I keep it at LOW wich will give a clear screen (no standard blur) but will have shine effects, tired effects (blur), suppression effects on you and optics effects wich i like. I actually like to get some disadvatage when it comes to those exact things. :) Or turn it all off to skip it all.

An old problem. When i set my own missions up i make sure not to give the AI binos or pistols as they might switch to them instead.
