I have just purchased ARMA after loving Operation Flashpoint for years. However, I am really struggling to get it working happily and just wanted to see if anyone else is having the same problems.
Basically I have had to turn everything off, set the res to 800*600 and everything else down to very low, for the game to be even remotely playable, and even then performance isn't great. Anything higher than this and it drops to a hideous rate and churns.
Am I really in such desperate need of upgrading my pc to get this game working? Or is it Vista; what kind of performance are people getting on a similar spec rig in XP?
Spec is:
AMD 64 3500+
1GB DDR RAM
Asus Mobo
Asus Geforce 6800 GT Graphics (latest Nvidia 7.15.109746 drivers)
Onboard Realtek '97 Sound
Vista (32bit) Ultimate edition
ARMA UK release 1.0
(Also... whoever did the localisation work for the UK should be shot; all that time to release the 'enhanced' UK version surely someone would have been to get an English speaker to translate the text?... Those pigeon english mission briefings )
