With that said, is it really true that if you download it digitally and burn it to DVD , how true is it that you only get to install the game like 5 times? I mean, fack, what if we have crappy systems and have to keep reinstalling to get the game to work correctly?

Ok, on Amazon, it was set to release the 4th, and yesterday it was available, now it's only available for pre order and release is due this 20th? Ok, is there another site that has ArmA2 released already?

I agree, I don't know how you are getting such bad performance, i have the demo and it runs beautifully. I have anti aliasing and I'm able to run it on and off. ArmA1 may run a tad bit smoother because there isnt much detail as ArmA2 but still, the detail doesnt hinder much at all. When I hear of such extreme rants I sometimes think these are rival critics of another company or game aimed at discouraging purchasing this game. Don't feel too bad about the game. Look at Americas Army 3. I hear there are truck loads of bugs, the Army even fired a Developing team in California. I even have my gripe about the sound effects in it *ehem*. I am going to be uninstalling AA3 also for the time being cause it will be a while till they fix the bugs. I just hope that BIS doesn't decide to finx bugs in ArmA2 and then release an ArmA3 next year or something.

What site did you get yours Noraf?

LOL, not from a Torrent but from an online shop yes. I notice with Steam there is a file called common where the games are at, i assume I can back up those files but I didnt see an installment executable in there unless I am not looking right. thanks

Yeah, so far I have called several stores, Target, Walmart, Bestbuy, Fry's, Gamestop, non of them have ArmA2 listed in there soon to come list of PC games. And it's funny that I was able to find an Operation Flashpoint PC game in Target when it came out, i think it was the GOTY edition too.

So far I have ArmA2 Demo installed a I have no problems thank God, I can't believe it and I'm running with Windows 7 as my OS. I downloaded off of Steam. My benchmark test with settings on very high and with a program running in the back came out to 20 fps. On high was 33 fps. Not sure if that is good or bad or what. My graphics card gets at about 65 c, the fan is set at 50. ArmA2 has proved me wrong, I think this game is beautiful!! I can't wait for it to come out this July the 4th.

So i guess either no one knows or no one cares

No one? Does anyone have a fix suggestion for this?

I have the same problem getting CPBO to work on my computer. I am running Windows 7 RC 7100 also and I get this message: pbo association failed!pbo association failed!Directory association failed!employment association failed!sanity association failed!done

Sorry everyone, I'm getting all messages and checking up on forums again, I still have real life stuff to iron out but I built a new system so iam motivated once again heh. I had a few request to make something compatible with A.C.E. mod and with HiFi so I will be doing that as time permits. As for a CSM update and BI Key, istill have not been able to concentrate further on it but all in due time. I have a lot on my plate.

I was checking out the youtube footage of ArmA2, the foot steps I think should still have a little more bass or some "pumfp" like, they sound too much like someone with flat feet running barefoot on concrete or wet concrete. Has anyone noticed if there was some combat jingle with the running? Some cloth friction sound? Still I am holding on to ArmA, trying to resist the temptation to buy ArmA2, grinning and bearing it ---------- Post added at 04:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:33 PM ---------- I have checked it out. I'm not too impressed, yet, the sounds in there are contrary to the idea I had back when OFP came out and in ArmA, when people heard some of the sounds I made they said they sounded like paint ball guns. Now that AA3 came out and testimony was made to how the sounds were implicated into the game people are saying "they sound so real" where as people used to say the ones I made sound like someone poking a card board box hahahahh. I thought it was funny. Yeah the sounds from AA3 are impressive (and real) to an extent but they left out a lot of nuances and reverberation, specially around reflective areas like walls and forest areas. The sounds are more suited for open fielded areas. The SAW is just horrible. I posted some feedback on AA3 forums, I decided not to argue with any hardcore AA gamers out there, they are die hard dedicated to the developers, which the California Devs were fired.

Ugh, I have to reinstall ACE all over again , I have built another computer. I am downloading something , its ACE Full at 702 MB, but I had at least 2Gigs of data from ACE in my last computer. Was there an update while I was out? I see patch 1.03 and 1.04. Is there a latest download?

Yup, I am able to run ArmA, just installed 3 updates and now, oh, what is the 1.15 update? Do I need it? I hear its the Queens Gambit but i don't have that addition. Just up to 1.14.

Yayeeee, I got ArmA installed again, finally, and my video card runs it beautifully on High setting, running it with Windows 7 RC 7100 Build. I havent quite tested on full settings yet but so far I am stoked!!! wooohooo!!

Hello all. I have an issue here, not sure if any of you guys have Windows 7 but i do now, the Win 7 RC. I have tried to install drivers for the graphics card but when it comes to installing the drivers the error message that appears is: "Only windows xp and windows Vista, both 32-bit and 64-bit versions, are supported by this driver CD" What gives. I was able to install Direct X drivers and precision tools. The graphics card I am using is EVGA Geforec GTX 285 and there is no version for it (eg. SSC or Black). I 've looked around for a topic on this and so far nothing has turned up yet. I tried looking for some drivers a patch but nothing yet. I'm still trying to get used to Windows 7 IE browser which I love so far. Installed Win 7 last night. So far the computer recognizes the video card and even says its working properly , yet, I have not been able to load the drivers for it yet cause I keep getting the message. Do you think the 64bit installation is to blame or partly? I have an Intel Core 2 Quad 8200 and 2GB memory. Should I have installed the 32-bit?

Well, almost done downloading, it says I need to install into an older or test PC. But the one I am installing into is brand spanking new. Should I install into a test computer? I do not have one:confused:

Ok, just bought: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 8x EVGA GTX 285 1 GB DDR3 GIGABYTE UD3L mobo Corsair XMS2 2gb ddr2 mem sticks 160gb SATA hard drive what do you guys think? AS for G card, should I have just went with a GTX 260 for about 100 dollars less instead of the GTX 285?

:cool: Heh, forget about it (Al Pacino way) And thanks for accepting my apology, yeah, at times I can be "silly" and even quite critical to myself, kind of an OCD type of thing too. Great work Mark and kudos, I also have your sound mod installed as you already know heh, so I will switch back and forth from mine to yours and to VOP's also, depending on my mood, I'm getting back into ArmA again. Thanks again Sure thing bro, right now I'm going to shoot at working on a BI Key first then make something a little more compatible with all the sound mods, I know I keep sayign I will make a BI Key but I just hadnt quite been able to sit down and actually concentrate on it. "S": Rock on

Ok A bit of humble pie and it tastes rather good Ok ok, the remark earlier was a bit off color and a bit , to say the least, uncalled for. I do know how much work can be put into making sound effects, even music because I make music also, I'm a guitar player,was a drummer, and finding the right quality in sound takes hours , days to get it perfect so I can understand how you come off there Mark. As I shrink into a dark corner with a bag over my head, I apologize to you and all others on this thread and if I've criticized any others before then an apology I offer. SInce I've been gone from BI Forums and have not played ArmA for some time now due to personal family life I have forgotten some of whom asked me for advice or suggestions or requests, even those who have criticized me , my inbox is full heh. So if I have shown a bit of immaturity and unprofessionalism on my part then forgive me :o I don't need anyone to respond with a "ahh its all good Chammy" or "its ok man" that sort of thing, its alright, no need for it :cool: carry on

:o that looks better

Woa, this is too much technical info to absorb here, let me take a breather thanks for the info btw

Well it looks like i will be settling for the GTX 295, or 285. But will  I have to replace my mother board and CPU? And what would you guys suggest, AMD or Intel?

Its a Apevia Iceberg 680W Green ATX Power Supply from Fry's.
