I just got it today .... Saitek Cyborg Evo Wireless Flight Stick I did not install the drivers and software that were on the disc because theyw ere outdated. I went straight to saitek's website and installed the software and driver from there. The joystick responds to Microsoft's Wzard(?) [Control Panel>Gaming Controllers> Saitek Cyborg's Properties] All my buttons are responding but when I load up armed assault the choppers do not respond and when I try to map a key in the options it does not respond either. I'm running Windows XP and AA is v1.05. Any ideas? This is my first flight stick but not my first controller so I have a little experience with installing these controllers.

I'll unplug the rumplepad 2. Forgot it was wireless . Thx

This is in the FAQ: So far we have confirmation that there is atleast a two man COOP mode in ArmA. (He's talking about the campaign.) I meant multiplayer meaning two people. Meaning two people can play the campaign at once right? .... This HAS NOT been implemented.

There is not a multiplayer campaign which is absolutely ridiculous. They said it was and there isn't. I really expected this feature.

Some random questions... -Are there any options indicating automatic downloading of addons in the menus? I don't think this is possible by the looks of it, but then again there isn't one addon out yet ... -How does holding breath work exactly? (how much delay, how much does it effect aiming, how long can you hold breath) If you hold down the right click on the mouse itll hold breathe for about 5-10sec or something. Not really sure how long though cause Ive only used it really quickly and a few times. -Does toggle look key give 100% steady aim? -If you run through a forest, can the AI keep up? LOL, funny that you mentioned this. I made a quick black hawk down mission in the editor and surrounded my blackhawk with 50 men approaching. I jumped out and started running to the the closest forest(I was in open desert), and the enemy squad leaders gave orders to 4 or 5 men to target me. They chased me all through the forest. They are fast. -Are there focal blur effects when aiming with ironsights? -Do bushes move or make sound when you run through them? -Do the light cones illuminate stuff behind them if you look through them from the side as seen on some screen shots? I answerered a few of your questions. Hope that helps. Don't want to give misinformation on the ones I'm not to familiar with.

I dont have the game yet, but I've thought of just that. It's kinda obvious you wont be hidden in the grass when the grass is not visible from distance. I dont know how a patch would solve that though. Would be nice if it could, but.. Oh nos. There were screenies taken showing alpha blending on soldiers in grass, even if the grass wasn't visible. I take it this feature didn't make it in. Horrible news. I thought it was one of the better new features. Would've given infantry the stealth and ambush potential they deserve in the wilds. I was looking forward to lying in foot high grass and laying an ambush for a convoy or passing squad. Â . Bad news. Still, having the bushes and trees as visual cover is still ok. Up close lin close quartters you are concealed but if you are looking up at a mountain about 250 meters away you can see the guy as plain as day and my settings are maxed.

The grass is really not concealment in this game. I don't know whether this game needs a patch or what but I've played in many multiplayer games and a soldier might think he is concealed in the grass off in a distance but to the enemy screen the grass doesn't show and the player is like in the open but he thinks he his concealed. Needs a patch or something

Let me rephrase it. Cover as in stealth if your crawling up to them. They do see you. But say if you move from bsh to bush and manage to not get spotted they wont see you. However if you crawl up to an enemy they see you like the grass isnt there. Of course it isnt cover you can shoot through bushes as grass its just they can see you in grass rather than a bush. majorpwnage, I don't know what you are talking about. Stay on topic.

Does the AI now search for cover if he's under fire or what parts are better than in OFP? Thanks... Ai will kill you in under 7 secs if you don't kill them after your spotted and you're in their line of fire. If they can not kill you they will ease or crawl their way up and toss a nade right beside you or they'll tell a very accurate nade launcher soldier to toss nades at you. Because of the recoil it is very hard to kill someone. They will go prone immediately and return fire. THE GRASS IS NOT REAL COVER. They will shoot through it, but everything else like bushes and trees, they will not shoot. Their are three levels of movements in the game a walk, a jog and a all out sprint(literally) if you double tap W. I have 7950gx2, core duo 2 e6700, 2gb ram and 24in lcd at 1920x 1600 res and I can run every setting maxed out and the game looks unbelievable. No lag and major fps. A buddy of mine has two 7900 sli's and his game runs smooth as well. You definitely need a decent pc to enjoy this game.

I'm in the United States and I've manage to get my hands on a czech copy. I'm getting dropped to the desktop as soon as the game loads and goes to the main menu. I shouldn't be having these problems. Updated video drivers, Updated Windows, Updated DirectX, updated sound, and updated system. This game also has textures missing on units at times and the tree's turn into blocky figures everyonce in a while. This certainly is a application issue because majority of the time the game looks gorgeous, but it's just every 5min I'll spot something deformed or something with the terrain. My system is: Nvidia 7950 GX2 Core 2 Duo E6700 2GB Ram X-Fi Sound Card 24in lcd @ 1920 x 1600 I just need to be pointed in the right direction on where to find help ... To clarify: I've played the game twice for 2 LUCKY hours and the other 6 hours have been "trying to fix it". Just got it ...

Thanks for helping us other Americans look bad with your comments. How do I make other Americans look bad? Because I got the game and asking for support? As an American, you ought to be mad at BIS because while us American guys are sitting on our hands Europe is enjoying this game. .. what are you talking about. please dont throw this thread off.

So what you are exactly saying is if there are 3 million copies sold in czech, and 1 million for the english version ... that's worse, than when there are 1 million copies sold in czech and 3 million copies for the english version? It's the amount globally that counts right, not where it is bought? Sickboy can you host your two files somewhere please. Many are needing this and it took me an hour before I gave up. Thanks man. I partially have mine translated.

I put that code in google and everyone's saying that that particular error is either a graphics driver issue or memory issue related to their particular program

Maybe that's a new regional protection system from BI If you are from US, you can use only US version lol funny, maybe so. doubt it though. My other buds are all over the world with the czech copy and I'm the only one.

Maybe that's the problem, you broke something in the process? You might also want to try some 3rd party video drivers, like DHzer0point. I've always had a bunch of problems with regular nvidia drivers and surprisingly, installing DHzer0point driver fixed most of them. Nah, it did this before I edited the bin.pbo and language.pbo. I doubt you can break something though by switching two words in each files. That's how easy it is to make your copy English.

HAHA! .... Nice one Placebo! Â Moral: Learn Czech or wait! No Moral here . I'll just let one of my czech buds check the forum out. In the end i'll get it to work. ... OFP has it's troubleshooting section I just thought it would be the same format as the ofp threads are. So the moral is I'm playing it now and not 4-6 months from now. I'll take the bugs and all just to play. Been playing since 1st version of ofp coldwar in 2001 so bugs are the norm. Also RedKit,my czech version is no longer czech thanks to sickboy's "how to change from czech to english" so you can wait until the cows come home but you can catch me on the battlefield.

Address my issue please. Where is the trooble shooting forum. But if you must know DHL Express does wonders ... You even got guys riding 10 hours to pick it up and guys catching flights to get it because you failed to release it in the states. So it it shouldn't be a suprise that some from US would have a copy. I might be one of the first .. who knows You guys are gloating about your sales on your site but what about the support. You rather create a squad forum and such rather than support ... This game is buggy ... starforce doesn't help either

Exception Code: 0xc0000005

Can someone please host these two files somewhere or send them to a fan site? This is real difficult to do.

lmao I'll be interested as well, but only if my menus can be in englishor some english.

Great point indeed

It probably wouldn't come from a factory, as publishers are the usual ones with the capacity to make the cd's, hence "publish" in publishers More than likely if it comes from BIS it's going to be an online download which I would go that route and download personally.

You can quote people by clicking the quote button on the upper right hand corner of each post. Yes, I'd say that you should expect a few months (and hopefully not years) delay on a US release looking at the pace BIS is currently taking things... and plus, that was the way it was done last time, if I'm not mistaken it took 2-4 months after the initial Euro release for OFP to come out in the US. I don't kow why you would cast more speculation on the release dates. It seems as if new release dates are rolling in by the week. BIS should have learned from there mistakes with ofp. This not finding a publisher and raising tensions could be there form of adding hype to the game within the community, ya never know. Finding publishers and getting the game published is the part where their hard work pays off and the dollars start rolling in and the part where they get paid. Who doesn't want to get paid. Therefore, I think they know what their doing.

We're currently working on it, when it's finalised we'll make the announcement. If a downloadable retail version of the game is in the works and set to be released, I hope there will be plenty of available servers to download from after paying. Fast Download speeds; there will be ALOT of downloads (I remember downloading ofp patches from BIS and god they were slow.)
