I am trying to install to my gaming laptop (win 10 64bit) via an external DVD drive, via usb. I am able to start the program, enter my CD Key and the first CD runs, but it never prompts for the 2nd CD as it should. I get an error saying- File read error: D\Flashpoint\Res\Dta\Hwtl\Data.pbo I bought the external DVD drive to play some old games I have on Disc. I do have to CWC version on Steam, but I want to play the Operation Flashpoint version, just for nostalgia reasons. Anyone have a solution ? I've searched and found no help.

Thanks guys.

Yes, I do have the Steam version of CWC. I just wanted to play the original for nostalgic reasons.

I've Googled and not found an answer. At the end of a mission (SP) official Campaign, in the after action report, it shows a rating. How is the calculated ? What is a good/average rating ?

I have yet to get into a game.:mad: Battleye keeps kicking me out for ünknown game version. running 1.6 patch used DayZ updater to get to 1.5.7 and placed Battleye 1.151 into both ArmA2 and Expansions folders. Frustrated.

Good article, great to see ARMA2 gets some press time. Amazing how many people miss the point of the article though, some of the comments are ridiculous (on BBC site).

Voted ARMA3, passing Mass Effect 3 and GTA 5 are achievements, both are very popular franchises. ---------- Post added at 01:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 AM ----------

I am running XP Home.

I copied and pasted the info for System Requirement Labs.

CPU socket 939 ? I can play ARMA 1 no problem.

Meaning, will ARMA2 even run at a playable FPS ? Minimal PC System Requirements * Dual Core CPU (Intel Pentium 4 3.0 GHz, Intel Core 2.0 GHz, AMD Athlon 3200+ or faster) * 1 GB RAM * GPU (Nvidia Geforce 7800 / ATI Radeon 1800 or faster) with Shader Model 3 and 256 MB VRAM * Windows XP * DVD (Dual Layer compatible), 10 GB free HDD space My Specs AMD Athlon 64x2 3800+, CPU speed 2.00Ghz rated at 5.70Ghz,2 GB Ram, Geforce 9600 GSO 768MB, Windows XP Home.

Here here! But it will be.... Â on the PS3. Your best bet, buy a xbox360. You stand a greater chance of getting ArmA II for console. There are MANY waiting for the OFFICIAL announcement about the platforms. Which is coming soon, right BI? Â Â Well if it's only available on the 360, I won't be buying it. After 3 RROD, I gave up on MS. My days of dropping $70 on a game for that platform are over. My 7 year old son plays Star Wars Lego on it now. When it dies on him, I'll get him a Wii. I bought the PS3 and have had it for a year and love it, no problems. If ArmA II does not come to PS3 it won't be the end of the world. I will be buying OFPDR for PS3, despite the negative comments here, I am not sold on it being a dud. I understand the BI loyalty, but come on.

I don't think I could shoot a real deer, let alone a virtual one. Now virtual Commies? Bring it on.

I conserve energy all year. Some of my neighbors have there whole house lit up every night, and then they do this 1 hour crap. It's stupid. Last year I turned on my outside lights to give them something to talk about.

It looks like there are some concerns with the development of AA3 Worth Playing.com

Crappy game...you get what you pay for.

I have an Xbox 360 and a PS3...but my PC with ArmA and OFP are what draws my attention again and again.

Merry Christmas.

Ok, just ordered a XFX Geforce 9600 GS0 768, good price. I hope it will run ArmA better than my old x1950 pro 256. It's about all I wanted to spend on myself. Christmas just around the corner and all.

Thanks for your help.

Just type in L0M1N0...(zeros not ohs) that's my postal code.

Strange, when I click on it it goes to the Staples site.

Thanks for the reply, This is my PSU power supply The 4870 is about $ 340 Cdn, the 4850 is around $200, thats more my target price.

Count me in....Xfire name- BillyBud

Right now my rig consists of- AMD 64 3800x2 2.4 ghz 2gb ram ATI 1950 pro 256 550 watt power supply- 1 PCIe 6pin with this setup I get anywhere fro 14 -60 FPS, depending on the situation within ArmA. I would like to get a steady 30-40 FPS, with no texture popping. I am using a resolution of 1440x900, with no AA AF and the rest of the settings set to normal.Now I want to upgrade to a card that only require one PCI-e 6 pin power conector, I really don't want to upgrade my power supply. The 8800 GTS 512 uses one pin, would this give me a much better gaming experience? Any othe suggestions? I am also hoping to be able to run ArmA 2 at launch. Even if I can run it half arsed, I'll be happy.
