Noticed 2 crashes AFTER exit. And i think i played MP both times. So when i hit exit and it looks like ARMA closes perfectly the background stays black (some of it and i can see the desktop in a corner) with a "send error report to MS". I took it as a fluke the first time but it happened a second time. Think i saved the RPT, but will test it tonight and see.

Im sorry, but your starting to sound like a child. So they have infantry, ground vehicles and bicycles(!) you can play with? Hm ok. Never saw that in DCS's, Lead Pursuit's or the community made titles of the flight simulators. I have them all and they are great sims. However they simulate one thing and one thing only. So to use them as argument to shoot a hole in ARMA im afraid your ammo are blanks. :rolleyes:

Constructive ways are to pinpoint the problem and present it with clear repro steps. Its all explained how to do it in my sig. And i dont expect you to do anything since you dont like this game. Us who are try to help. If you think its amusing to take a dump on us for being involved with the game we like - be my guest. :rolleyes:

3 days? You mean 2 months. :D 29th June. Not 29th April. ;) Still though. Should seen something by now just 2 months away?

Thats enough. I dont have the control panel PhysX either. Not with the latest drivers anyway. Had it before. But it should be enough.

Thanks Deadfast - per usual the super translator dude. :D Very nice news!

Just wait for the "full" reviews where the campaign ONLY is reviewed and thanks to some bugs in it the whole game gets a low score. Where did this happen before? Hmmmm *cough* arma2 *cough*. Cause as we all know - ARMA is only a couple of missions - a campaign. There is nothing else in the title at all. Finish the campaign - the game is over. :D Some reviewers do seem more "knowing" this time though (so far) and i hope it stays that way.

Huh? You quoted me but it was SONAF Rebel saying that. :D Anyway. Pre ordered from Webhallen now. And yes colossus its 505Games i believe. ArmA1 and ARMA2 was so i hope their at it again.

Ok... Even though my system is completely messed up atm since i installed the new gear over an OS with all the old drivers for the old gear on it. Stupid i know, but i couldnt use the DVD player so i just tested to fire up my old HDD with windows on it, and so i also tested ARMA on this messed up system. i7 930 P6X58D Premium GTX275 Old crappy 7200rpm How did this beta play on this? F-ing superb! Where i had weird stutter with the old system its completelly gone now, and this is on a messed up - not correctly installed system. Tomorrow i will have ARMA2 on a new faster and better HDD as well as chunk up some of it into RAMDRIVE. Will return then and report how the beta runs. I have a sneaky suspision its gonna be great though. :)

Cant wait! :) If you havent already, and if it is in the WIP code, and that you are allowed to show it: Could you test the PEQ units lasers and either show image, video or just write one or two rows about it? Thanks a lot for giving us information. :)

Hehe yep. Going tomorrow to pick up gear. :) Sunbyberg though since its the main stock place, and cause my new job is pretty easy to get from to there with tvärbanan. :D

JW did not disable HT and never had problems. Theres how different systems are heh. :) Drew: For now the only thing that fixes the ground texture issue is to slide the view distance slider up and back down to what you had. Should remove the problem.

Wow Mick welcome! :) You will LOVE this simulator im sure. You dont need anything more than this on your computer and it lasts for years. Make your own missions, mess around in the editor just having fun testing things out, downloading and testing new addons (vehicles, gear, units islands, missions, campaigns) or go multiplayer with some nice people and do some nice missions together. Well many already told you a lot so i just had to say welcome and hope you enjoy this title! :) Dont forget to pick up Operation Arrowhead as well late june this summer. ;)

Flashlights we seen in ACE already. Laser not however. Would really want to see them. ---------- Post added at 21:42 ---------- Previous post was at 21:39 ---------- ARMA2 has background texture. Its the artificial horizon looking like far away mountains. OA will have the same to give feeling of "air" or "openess" instead of view distance making all white after 2-3000 meters. :) Flying without artificial surroundings makes it all white around you and at least me felt claustrophobic in ArmA1. Lets see how well made it is in OA. So far from the pics it looks good to me.

Got kicked way way back in the days. Never lately though so poll does not apply to me.

Im sure Dwarden is all over that. ;) Dont know how much he can do about it being available but he will mention it im sure when its there.

^^ Yeah... wished we had it too. Maybe one of the prioritizing things you know. maybe in a patch if we bug them through A2CIT, and if many vote.

Protegimus: Tested now a lot and the grass is what causing the stutter on my machine in the new beta. Compared to the other patches where grass has a usual performance hogging effect and its all steady "lag". Still, its smooth when i play the same islands on the older patches and weird irregular but constant pretty hard stutter when grass is on now in this beta. Turn it off and its ultra smooth. Even better than previous betas without grass (usuall have it on NORMAL however). Another side thing about effects: I was in a fire fight just now. Big one. And i was shot at like crazy - but didnt see any suppressing effects. Would really like it to be heavier effects when a lot of bullets pass close to me. VBS2 makes it tunnel vision with darkened edges plus when bullets are REAL close you even unwillingly "flinch" aka the camera quickly but slightly shakes one single time when a bullet passes real close. Really love that as it makes you crap your pants. However in ARMA2 we should have the blurred vision etc when too much "heat" layed upon us. In this beta i cant see that - only when i shoot close to my feet but not from enemies. Could be looked into as well. (sorry not a performance report).

Mmmm looks the same to me too. Just tested (HIGH graphics) and its transparent with reflectiveness. Can see something in the windows when i move. So its the same i think.

The most distant mountains are the new artificial backdrop. :) Looks good though. Laqueesha: No mate. Its about (to me) being able to put an arm up in the air when you play with many people in MP and say "YO IM HERE!" :) Really wanted some animation tied to a button that shows more than "salut" animation that "YO IM HERE GUYS!". "THIS IS ME". Because it can be hard to know whos who sometimes.

I have to say though that this beta is on the right track. Although i have this stutter wich seems to be the grass (on my pc anyway) but if i disregard that the performance seems to be better. About AI: Anyone else noticing the old AI squad leader runs far ahead of his squad syndrome again? Tested with HC module and sent a 12 AI unit strong squad forward and i noticing the leader was pretty far in front of the rest of the team. Squad set to FULL speed - FILE. Changed to LINE on the fly but seemed still the leader kept running far ahead. Will test more.

Really like that dude on the right. Hope OA has some units with that setup. Helmet, goggles, balaclava: http://www.operations.mod.uk/telic/images/misc/czech_mps_hr.jpg :)

Ah your right ofcourse. Oh well - i had fun. :D And im testing the beta at the same time so im a bit confused lol. EDIT: If it is Zarg (wich author says it is apparently) then it isnt that big. Agreed on that.

Thank you BangTail. Nice to see it isnt just me. Im on an AMD X2 6000+ though but still its a stutter fest. I notice this mostly on Isla Duala. Anyone can test just putting a unit out in the middle of duala and then just start walking or running? When i move it stutters (not lagging) and it never settles. Only if i look straight down it settles and is smooth as silk. But if i look forward it stutters all the time. Older patches it stutters for a second or two to load in the surroundings and then its all smooth until running too far where it needs to load in new material. But this one never stops stuttering. Tomorrow i have my i7 though and maybe that hyper threading stuff works to remove it. :) PS. Changing pre rendering frames etc did not do anything but making movement (turning etc) more creamy like. Still same stutter. Mostly on Isla Duala though. Maybe something on that map that needs to change just for this patch? Hmm weird. EDIT: Found out what caused the massive stutter on Isla Duala and probably the rest - the grass! Removed the grass and no more stutter. Previous beta does not do this on my pc so its something new in the latest one.

Ok had nothing better to do so i wondered what town this is. Someone said it looks small for zargabad (i think?), but its probably not that town but a smaller one. Might not even be from the same map ofcourse these images, but as i said - nothing better to do and speculating and mocking about is fun. :) Is it that town or the northern one? Roads can show a bit different at the height it shows on the bigger map. Prolly not any of the 2 since it looks a bit weird, but its fun to speculate in'it? :D
