the carry does appear but when I try to move I am stuck there I can not move my player, the chute thing worked for me when I used 1.04 I could move my man about and I landed on the target.

After playing for some time , I am looking for the main mans sidekick , went to the power station old guy wasn't pleased about letting me search the place but didn't find anyone. Went to the church in town again nothing , went to the police station check the rooms on all levels and out to the roof, when I came back down and out the door of the police station , right in front of my gun [ i ] sight had these words in front of it .. Illegal Copies Ma Degrade .. is that supposed to come up ?

1.05 patch Ok , Parachute jump in Boot Camp, you can move him in free fall but when I open the chute A and D are supposed to move my player they don't I can look around in FP with my mouse but not in 3rd person, don't think W and S work either. Ive jumped 2 times both time I can move in FF but when I open the chute the control buttons don't work. not tried this in a mission so I don't know if this applies to "in game" ? but if it happens in Boot Camp I take it will be the same IN game.

I've not used it in the game proper , I was using 1.05 in boot camp and the medic part, when I walk up to the injured man Carry is not on the menu. I have to drag him and then move about a bit to get Carry to appear on the menu, then when I press carry the animation is a bit off with the man off the side of my shoulders and then a few seconds later it looks right but then I can't move. I put him down and my player is standing in only what I can describe as ski jump position, can't move in any direction. After a bit of trial and error, I pressed C to crouch then I could move and back into the Carry animation. Takes a bit of doing to get it right, if its the same in the main game then you'd be dead. When I did manage to get it to work , as I carried him over to the officer, as I carried him over the words Stop Carrying popping up all over.

thanks for all the help ...

so I don't need to install anything but 1.5 on top of the basic game .. ? I thought id have to install 1.2 1.3 1.4 then 1.5 .. I take it 1.5 includes all the others then ?

The basic game install is 1.015 .. do I need to install the 1.01 patch or just start from 1.02 ?

I was in Single player and it is a Legal copy ...

Optimal Specs: CPU: Intel Core 2.8GHz/ AMD Athlon 64×2 4400+ or faster RAM: 2GB Video card Nivdia 8800GT/ ATI Radeon 4850 with shader model 3 with 512MB VRAM Somehow I think the whole 8800GT thing might be of a goof. .................................. This is what I get when I search the web for Optimal Specs for Arma2, not being tech minded, my take is if I have these Optimal Specs I should be able to run Arma2 with all settings on "higest" and not see graphics glitches, like it getting really bright when I look at the ground or at village or town signs. I should be able I think , to see the names on these signs clearly at more than 15 to 20 yards. And when my player or the rest of my crew get out of a APC there heads are not blank white and then fill in seconds later. If the Optimal Spec that are given for the game are as above, then I have them ... Core2 2.8Ghz .. 4Gb DDR3 .. ATI HD5770 1Gb card .. XP 32bit. My settings for the game : All on Highest and at a rest of 1600x1200. My PC I take it should be able to handle these settings , frame rate I think is smooth enough, its just these what I think are graphic glitches that if I have these Optimal Specs I should not be seeing ? Q? is , do I have as BI says Optimal specs and if so, my settings should not be a problem or should I have different settings and the specs that BI say I need for Optimal gameplay are wrong ? Thanks ...

In Manhattan , I have just 2 jobs to do find the Large base and top man. I was when I was on my way to the main base I paused the game and came out of it, when I went back into it, my APC's machine guns muzzle flash was "stuck" in fire. The machine gun wasn't firing but the muzzle flash was there, I got everyone out of the APC to see if that would help but it didn't. As I said no biggie , but its there ... ps. patched to 1.04

I have found the main base but can not call in Support as its out of range, I not 100% up on the ins and outs of units, but surely if my unit which is Recon, then there aim would be to find the base and call in strikes on it or get some support to back them up in an attack on it.

Using the editor I was trying out the sniper with the bipod , man at end of runway I zoom in + middle of chest .. shot kicks up dirt on ground about 3-4ft to his left another shot again + middle of chest shot kicks up dirt 3-4ft to his right. I had the skill slider full .. no expert on ballistics but I was only some 600 yards from him and I was prone on the runway with rifle with bipod.

our firing an m107 while kneeling? of course its gonna be inaccurate that's the start of the video , when I got to scope I then go prone. as I said when I got back to the official release patch 1.04 I can hit the target with the M107 Standing Kneeling and Prone .. the problem is with the beta ..

got it from local gamestation on the box is BI and 505games Fade as far as I can remember kills the game , the game is working fine I installed Official patches 1.02 1.03 1.04 and the sniper rifle m107 works fine I get hits on target Standing and Prone. But with the latest beta the scope of some reason is out .. when I got back to the official release ver 1.04 it works with no problem. If it was FADE , then it would do the same with 1.04 too ...

No ... Basic game 1.04 with beta patch.. I went back to 1.04 official release and used the same sniper with the m107. Standing I hit the target, prone I hit the tartget again I fired off the rounds and they hit the dirt in the same line some up some down but all in the same vertical line, non of shot hit right or left as they do with the beta, so its the beta patch. ---------- Post added at 11:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 PM ---------- Prone .. as my post above I went back to 1.04 official release patch and the m107 worked fine I hit the target standing and prone, so its the beta patch where the problem is coming from .. ---------- Post added at 11:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 PM ---------- So far in editor with the latest beta the sniper is off an all standard rifle and m107 , when commanding a M1A2 tank and tell gunner to target the T90, the greeen target box with inner circle appears round the T90 but its only the machine gun that fires. In scenarios , when I jump into an AI APC (passenger) it never opens fire on the enemy even when fired on. I can hear the direction commands and the driver reacts to them , but when I hear the Cannon order it does not fire.

Does your scope jump up and away with the kick of the shot ? I just thought that was a bit much as I was prone and the ground and using the support of the bi-pod, the kick is really big.

Sniper with M107 .. PCDVD ---------- Post added at 10:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 PM ----------

don't want to start a new topic its about tanks away .. M1A2 .. Editor v T90 could have been anything ... playing as Commander in the M1A2 I order target that tank .. box and inner circle round the T90 .. Machine gun fire .. no firing of main gun ???? I was trying out the Javelin , as the T90 was up in smoke** I turned it on the M1A2 .. Hit but did not destory the M1A2 .. I went up to it , the crew were outside I jumped in ... tank outline top corner .. orange outline , red gun red right track .. Q ? True to life or should Javelin destroyed the M1A2 ? ** M1A2 fired main gun at the T90 but only as a non player item , when I was Commander .. it would only fire Machine Gun when I ordered target the T90.

With 2 jobs still to do , large enemy base and enemy leader I went back to MB to wait until nightfall before setting out to the Large enemy base. When I was there my 3 crew were fine, I x4 speed to get time moving and after a short while I seen one of my crews icons was red, he was injured ? I got to him and he was coverd in blood his legs and body and face ? just like you see if they have been badly wounded. But there was no gun fire in the base. Another thing, one of the patrol that does the round of the base, he was lying on the ground dead, blood all over, at first when I seen that one of my crews icons was red, I thought that was him lying there but it turned out it looked like one of the patrol. ps.. might be an old one , I have not read through everything, but when as the driver of an APC and I switch off the engine it comes back on again within 10 seconds of switching it off. Should it not stay off until I restart it.

Beta 61032 onto Arma2 1.0459025. I don't know if its supposed to be this way, but when I installed the new beta patch it does not work with my saved games, the game opens up to the main menu but when I clicked on a mission it crashed. I moved my saved games from the \doc\arma2\save folders and now it works. Again don't know if this one is a bug I take that it is , in scenario mission (just tried the 1) War Welcome I jumped into an APC (passenge) when coming apon the enemy be it troops or other enemy APC the APC I am travelling in does not open fire. You can hear Forward here move there and so on and Cannon but it does not fire. Again AI is so so, the APC I was a passenger in was told to move to X point in an Airfield, it just kept on bumping into the Tower it would back up from the building a few yards then bump back into it again and again. This non firing of machine gun or cannon when Ive jumped into one happened in 1.04 even before I added the new beta.

latest beta I was messing about with the editor in the airfield, enjoying watching tanks v tanks from one end of the runway to the other. I was on the high hill that just at the back of a hanger, I had a clear view of the runway. I was just a rifleman lying there on the hill when some of the russian crews were lying on the runway, thing was looking through the site with red dot or the green [ l ] gunsight, the crew men were nothing more than a tiny looking thin pencil line. I don't know the exact yards from the top of the hill onto the middle of the runway, but I would have thought people would have been clear to see and not look like something like this ___ though not as clear as that line. Is the scale of people true for distance ?

not 100% on hit points and the like , but with the latest beta I was messing about with the editor and lined up 10 T90's at one end of the runway on the airfield at the other end 10 M1A2's. The T90's were facing 270 ..... the 10 M1A2's were facing the rears of the T90s, I got 2 different results with the editor. 1st shot I put the time at 1am pitch dark, the russian tanks even with the us tanks to there rear the T90's won with at least 3-4 tanks left. I just re ran the same scenario, I just altered the time to midday, this time there were 3-4 us tanks left standing. I ran it again at 1am and just like before the T90s won ??

I could be me and the beta having a placebo effect , but I think the graphics are much better now. Only thing was , I never read right through it , so I didn't know if this was suppose to happen but when I installed it onto what was 1.0459025 I started the game via the beta short cut and got into the main menu but when I start my Manhattan game I got a crash and the info went back to my \docs\arma2\save folder. I moved all of my save games into another folder and the beta worked. As I said I never read right through it so may be I had to start over again when I upgraded to the beta. Anyway looks a whole lot better ..

Do i have to install all of the others before I install the latest one ARMA2_Build_61032.zip ARMA2_Build_61032.log ? ---------- Post added at 11:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 AM ---------- These beta patches are they above what was fixed in patch 1.04 ? if so which ones ?

Can someone tell me the best settings for my HD5770 1gb card , as in Anti Aliasing and other settings = Performance to High Quality on the card to get the best out of the game. Thanks ..
