Still shocking performance hit on 6800GT (i dont know if its because running at 1600x1200 4xAA, so its got quite a bit of stuff to reflect there ), plus the control panel on these drivers is not fully operational for setting up game profiles as they are still beta drivers. Ive gone back to the 81.95 just to get my control panel back

Anyone tried these? Hows the performance in other games? Any links to review sites? EDIT: i see they off guru3d, thats good enough for me

You can have her number Huey You know you only have to ask, I know its thin on the ground at your age

The surprise in the phonebox is much scarier than a floor full of pee. Is a working door on it since that pic. Ill hook up some better ones

Its the MANX TT by the way not MAX :P Looks good anyway, might beable to sort you out with some ref material as a girlfriend and her mum go over to the IOM quite regularly.

That i do But not quite the same as DiB. Just an invisible road section spanning the gap to actualy make the Ai drive across the 'breakable' bridge objects.

In the OFP Elite video the tanks keep driving off the bridge on the video, you reckon bis have made an invisible road section with no geo properties or textures so the ai will try to follow it then just placed normal objects so it 'appears' the vehicles are using the actual destroyable bridge but in fact they are actually following the roadway of an invisible road but are held up by the actual object of the destroyable bridge sections? Has anyone tried this in OFP? Could this be a way to implement it into OFP as we stand now?

doh

I think Armed Assualt is a canny move by BIS. 1. Keeps the exsisitng community happy and tide over till "ofp2" 2. Reawakens new interest in the franchise. 3. Draws away from the now unusable by BIS Operation Flashpoint brand. Bis can now cement a new name for the realistic war sim franchise by releasing OFP 1.5 under a different name, which they then can carry over to "OFP2" - Armed Assault 2 anyone???

Ive a feeling the damage is not as immersive as you imagine. I tihnk the buildings will have pre-determined 'break' areas and will only fall 'dynamically' with the physics engine. Having said that most games are like that anyway. Just on a large scale (ie buildings) it will be more noticeable they break in the same places. Maybe a few diff versions of each building with diff break areas to add some variety.

Id like to see the engine support 'dynamic' decals to the body / vehicle? Bullet holes wherever you hit, etc. Also blood effects onto objects. Is this too much detail? Will it be possible seeing as this is just an evolution engine?

Ok seem to have found the problem. File called CTHELPR.exe keeps planting itself on my pc. NOT CTHELEPER.exe (creative sounds file). Everytime i remove it and reboot it fixes the issue. It also creates skipping in ALL other 3d applications, but ofp is the only one where it removes/hides any kind of file. I cant find ANYTHING on google/yahoo about this file, anyone else had any experience with it? It plonks itself on "C:/WIINT/system32/CTHELPR.exe" which is where avast goes mad and says raa raa raaa virus virus, but also on "E:/CTHELPR.exe" - which is another partition of the drive.

Yep DXdll does make a considerable performance hit on the 6 series card. But at 1600x1200x32 with 2xAA and 8xAF with most things maxxed (for MP games which is all i play ground is low and view is mission set) i would expect it too. The frame rates are still awsome though and the game is just eaten alive, no matter the island, addons or action taking place.

Guess no more republic commando for me Problem is it requires a full reinstall of windows to cure the missing .pbo problem :'(

Another thing against an expansion pack like that would be the probable incompatability with many mods and addons? Different head models, pixel shaders etc?
