You need some peripheral vision wich you get with a wider FOV. This is used in games as otherwise you get what CG explains above - you see nothing but forward as your monitor will be the viewport to your real vision. And that means like looking through a window - you have to move your head all the time to see whats right, left, up and down. You wont see whats hitting you 90% of the time. :)

Reason for crash can be too high in game settings, but we cant tell without proper information. RPT and dumps might help BIS next time you crash.

You need to revert the mission your currently on - not the whole campaign. This goes for all patches. The beta patch installs along side the official so your 1.05 game will not be tampered with. Just launch the beta shortcut (wich is created when beta installs) or the 1.05 when you want to play. All up to you, and the beta takes seconds to install with usually very good updates in it. Its not about buying the game to be a test subject - its a chance to play the updated version of the game before the official patch is out. And the beta connects MP to 1.05 and other betas so you will be able to play online without trouble. Or stay at 1.05. Choice is yours. :) But enough of this in this thread.

^^ So test load the island without ACE and see. Looks very very good. Great job on this island Ice.

I had my M4 RCO switched to CQB when i entered a helicopter for extraction. When i got off to go on the next mission i couldnt get back to scope mode. Anyone had this happen? Im asking because it might been the missions fault wich was a bit weird to say the least. And cheers for the update ACE team. :)

Thanks for the list Protegimus. Time consuming work so hat off. I see you use "-mod=beta;R:\@ArmA2" for the RAMDRIVE. Do you have the files right under @ARMA2 or is there the usual Addons folder as well? Im asking because i have to use the full path when i run RAMDRIVE. Got an error when i tried without so mine is: -mod=beta;J:\@ArmA2\Addons. Im using the free Dataram program.

Brilliant work sbsmac! Time for a test-frenzy. :)

Afghan-ish country called Takistan. Yep. Exactlly what i said (dual and up). :)

ARMA2 has multicore support. Dual and up. 1 for AI and 1 for the rest. However quad runs it better because it can run system processes etc cores above the 2 the game uses. The dual has to share that with ARMA2. Not sure how it works exactlly but its multicore support and not only quad.

Been testing this a whole lot more now and the thread param 3 still holds the best gameplay for me. The game is running real smooth. @Langgis08:

Thanks Snafu. Dont know how i missed that yesterday, but i guess i was lazy. Especially after i read the comment about someone not wanting units and vehicles bundled with the island so i thaught they were in there. :) This island is real nice for some heli action. Even flying jets looking down over the island makes it look almost real at times.

Great looking island Ice. :) However it all looks good and no missing files but i cant seem to find the cars or factions. I added the island in the Isla Duala folder as it didnt have any identical files that could be overwritten.

VBS2 suppression is really nice. Simple yet very effective. The tunnel vision created by darkening the screens edges plus stretching the image in the corners create a very nice tunnel vision effect, and its hard to keep focus around the screen (peripheral vision screwed up) wich forces you to turn your head and look around to see clearly. Simulating that your focus is bad due to stress and fear. Could combine nicely with some of the effects we already have in A2. Suppressings should make it real hard to fight back. VBS2 high caliber single shots fired close to your head is also very well made. This is not suppressing per se, but the camera flinch when a 50cal sniper round just misses you plus a quick flash of black (some darkening of the screen for a split second) really scares the hell out of me everytime it happens. So its very effective as it gives you one of those horror film flinch jumps. :) AFAIK we have nothing in A2 when just one powerful round just barely misses you. Maybe an addon could be made. Anyone with the skill up to it? Yep i'll help with advice and testing.

Did get it to work on 2 other games i have that i never play lol. :D However it reminded me how messed up you feel after just 5 minutes of using these glasses.

Weird. Mine says at bottom iZ3D dymanic test. No ARMA2 in that list. Then again my ARMA2.EXE is not in bohemia/ARMA2/ but in bohemia/ directly. Seems yours detected ARMA2 in that case and failed mine. Gotta investigate some more.

Yep tested all that. Checked if it was 64bit friendly and there is a 64bit folder so i checked the test file and it all works. Also chosed profile "ArmA" wich is ARMA2.EXE according to the program. Tested with hotkeys and without. Chosen the anaglyph in the selection dropdown. Dont know why it doesnt want to run. EDIT: You can have a FPS counter as well but it doesnt show in game so definatelly not kicking in for some reason. On Win7 64bit here. Might be my old screen im on atm. Checking the diagnostic and it comes up like this: DS texture format D16: supported DS texture format D16 LOCKABLE: unsupported DS texture format D24S8: supported DS texture format D24X8: supported DS texture format ATI DF16: unsupported DS texture format ATI DF24: unsupported DS texture format NVidia INTZ: supported DS texture format NVidia RAWZ: unsupported Surface format ATI AQBS: unsupported

Just got a pair of anaglyph cardboard glasses from one of my students last week. Will test this even though my brain is all mashed up after just some minutes using them. :D EDIT: Started that driver, chose anaglyph but cant get anything in ARMA. How did you get your working?

To drag or carry you either need the ACE injury module or the BIS battlefield clearance. Not both at the same time however. The ACE injury module also brings bleeding, passing out etc so if you only want to be able to drag then only use BIS battlefield clearance.

And this is the wrong thread to post such questions in. The title reads COMPLETE ADDONS & MODS wich means you create a thread when you have an addon or mod to release. Please head over to www.armaholic.com and search for the islands/addons your mentioning here and at the bottom of each addon there it will say what you need. Closing.

So finish defragging and test it? Test it fullscreen and then windowed and check if theres a difference. Shouldnt be too hard. I'll leave this open for some debate even though the opening post is a bit weird to say the least. :)

I guess the game installed well after doing the above. Closing.

Roughly 80 people voted in here so far wich is good, but i wished even more tested and reported/voted. Never the less, please set some time aside to test the beta. More reports = better foundation for BIS to make the performance better. We have this great thing going here where the developers communicates with us and makes changes to the game based on our reports wich is a very good (and rare in this business) opportunity for us to help BIS get us better performance. :) To beta newcomers: The beta will not do anything to your existing 1.05 game since it will install its own "beta" folder together with a new icon that launches the beta version. So your 1.05 game is still there untouched and you can launch it anytime you like just like normal, and the beta takes litteraly seconds to install so your testing the beta within a minute. The beta shortcut is in your ARMA2 folder once installed. You can also play MP with the beta even if the others are running 1.05 or other beta's. Installing an official patch takes much much longer so there really isnt anything to it, and ofcourse the more reports BIS gets - the better game we will have! Link to the beta's: ARMA2 BETA VERSION Go for the version top of the screen inside the green bar. Thank you!

Did you guys try to fly real fast in the latest beta? And especially just above the tree tops. As close to the ground as possible and high speed. I have no lag/stutter at all and FPS is 100-ish in chernarus. Amazing. Using the value 3 on the extra thread param. However the only thing still killing my pc - even the new one - is the grass. At places and when zooming/scoping where lots of grass is i drop 50FPS in the worst places. That is a bit too much imo. And this is with normal/low terrain detail. Chernogorsk without grass gives me 60-120FPS and when i turn it on i have 20-45FPS. 20 is in town where some bushes plus a lot of grass is. Would love for some optimization in this area.

That might be correct, but in the end - its not our decision. This is what i meant when i say that you going mental over a business deal a company makes that you arent working in. At this point im sure BIS knows how people on this forum feels about the cover so further discussion about it is not necessary. :)

About the cover. Make your own or use EricM's brilliant ones and problem solved. :) I have all my BI titles in my shelf but they are with the back to me and not the front cover so i dont even see it. I understand waiting for OA brings out a lot of emotions of us all and so we discuss the smallest of things to death, but c'mon guys - it isnt that important (piece of paper wrapping a plastic box!). In the end its BI's decision and you wont look at the cover when you have it installed as you will be nailed to the screen and forget about the whole thing. You know im right. :D
