We could easily host 3 arma servers when the linux server got released Now our we had to "pollute" our best server with windows and it is of no use except of running one arma server We have saying in our language (dutch-flemish) een ezel stoot zich geen 2 keer aan dezelfde steen which means as much "not even a donkey makes the same fault twice" The most irretating are all the lies. Please just tell us that the server will take 10 years to release expect of keeping us in vain that you will release in a few months after the release. Lies ,always damm lies, be honest for once will you?

BIS just does not care. Companies only care about profit and money. The only way to encourage them to implement a key server and PB/VAC support is to hit them where it hurts.... , in their profit... Just NEVER NEVER NEVER buy anything again from BIS. I know I won't.

a game without starforce please starforce is reason for many people to NOT buy the game. why? read here http://www.glop.org/starforce/

Dear Bis, We really want to ask you in a friendly and gentle way to stop providing the community with the false release dates. We do understand that a good game takes a lot of effort and time to make and we have evry repsect for this aspect but lately the shit is hiting the fan. What we really dislike is the current situation where bis announces for the **** th time that the game will be released in 3 months time and than after 3 months, they announce that it is in another 3 months time. What I really notice in my clan/ofp community is that people are starting to behave really desperate due to this false info all the time. Certain clanmembers already stated that they will nog buy the game anymore ,as they don't want to support a compagny that acts this way. This makes me really sad. Please just announce that the game will be released in June 2008 and stop bugging us with the false info. Thanks

http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard311/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=64;t=52342 Placebo asked to rephrase my question in the right topic (here) Hi dear ofp fans, I assume that BIS will release a linux server for Arma (maybe not directly with the release, but I guess certainly after a while) . Can any of the developpers tell us on which shared libc6 library it will be based? The ofp linux server for example isn't compatible with recent versions of this specific library. This might be usefull information for linux admins, who want to run both ofp and arma on their machines. Any answer is much appreciated. Thanks!

Yup sure but you forget that the game was unplayable in multiplayer untill version 1.75. Version 1.0 (as the continent europe we had to do the beta for the US release ) Game was completely unplayable, planes fell out of the air, u had need of 60 bulletes to shoot somebody down, tanks fell in holes, lag as you have never seen before. None of the coldwar patches could really resolve the issues. version 1.2 version 1.26 version 1.27 version 1.28 version 1.3 version 1.46 That means we had 6 patches before we could play a decent game That also means we had spent 100€ (coldwarcrisis and redhammer) for a game that supposed to have MP capabilities , but in fact did not have them. Just after spending 150€ (coldwar -redhammer-resistance) we were able to play a decent game. (this was in half 2003 while the original was released in 2001) How can you state in this context that they actually delivered good support while we had to wait for 6 patches before we could play the game online! I mean C'MON.

I really HOPE that the following things are included, -Linux dedicated server -patches = decent support from BIS (not like we saw in the last 2 years) -anti-cheat technology. Without these things the game is doomed to fail...

I must say i really felt the same lol The game 2 was first announced to be released in 2004 and now we don't even have an update of ofp I would have been fired for a long time

*looking into it*

Hi, I wanted to ask if BIS will provide the community with a linux server when they release armed assault? I just want to straight out why this is so important. The availability of a linux server makes or breaks a community. Most gameproviders/gamesites run linux servers and they won't even bother to host a server when there is no linux. Many games were unable to break through because there were no linux servers. One publisher who has understand the need of linux servers is ID software. As a result their community never lack good servers or even players. Perhaps few of you remember but there weren't many good servers available around the period ofp 1.0 - 1.46 and the community really lacked good servers. I really hope that BIS has learned from this experience. Our clan for example provides the community with game/web and voip servers and they all run on linux. We would be in deep shit... And than we are not even talking about the stability and performance difference ;) Thanks!

Take into account that some clans made the switch because of version 1.96b and the ofp sentry tool. This was initially higher.

another intresting question might be how long will BIS actively support AA? We can honestly say that the active support for ofp stopped in the year 2003. Will BIS directly abandon AA once it has been released or are they planning to support the community with patches and fixes?

This makes me kind of angry  You guys are behaving as if this is a small problem while the community has COMPLETLY been DESTROYED. U will not find a cheat free server anymore! All servers are infested with cheaters. Than we have the second fact that BIS only releases patches for the windows server(while linux servers are in the vast majority). The only thing were ofp is still good for at this point is to make some addons or cheats and to test them, nothing more nothing less. league or squad play has become COMPLETLY IMPOSSIBLE No we can't mention or say anything about it as if this will stop people from finding these very easely accessible cheats Why don't you guys take legal action? those communites have registrated domain names. we know their webhost, we even have isp dailup names from several of those developers. don't tell me that it is impossible for you when we can find this info very easely...... it is just that BIS doesn't care... I am really sorry for this what offending post but it makes me REALLY unhappy/angry. BIS if you want to keep the largest part of communtiy they have to act now. Else they will loose a lot of people(and in the end, the only argument that apparently counts for them, you will sell much less games and make much less money)

Well it seems to me that BIS has not learned from their experiences..... server version 1.96b has been released now. And what do we see? no version for linux.... (same situation as with version 1.96a) The majority of the servers runs on linux. I really can't understand why??? Yes i am deeply concerned about this issue!

Because we had to wait untill version 1.75 before it was released. So we had the versions 1.0 , 1.1, 1.2 , beta 1.27 ,beta 1.28 ,beta 1.29,1.32 and 1.46 in between if i remember well lol So it took them about one year and half to release it.

Solaris 10 has now ELF binairy compatibility so u can run it on Solaris 10 too ;) btw this was already possible in solaris 8 and 9 with "lxrun".

My personal experience is that the ALT+TAB itself is just working fine. You can have problems with it when you are using a via northbridge and an ati videocard. That causes tthe game to crash or artifacts/crazy green screens.

As squadleader of the BEF clan I would like to share our 4 years of eperience in the ofp community. We are already playing the game from version 1.0. I can truly say that cheating has destroyed the community. We are Currently only able to play with other people that we really know on closed servers.... this is not really what it was or what it was meant to be...Extra anti-cheat features have to be added or BIS has to provide the community with longer support and more updates. In fact it is truly sad how cheaters took over the community and how things are going right now on the public servers. The compatiblity with previous addons is great but it makes me also quite worried about how easy it will be to port current cheat technologies to the new version because it is in fact more or less the same game. One more thing!(OFFTOPIC) Gamedevelopers almost always make the error to release only a windows server. As a result there arn't many servers/good servers and the community dies. PLEASE RELEASE A LINUX SERVER WITH THE RELEASE OF AMRED ASSAULT! I really do hope that they will think about these things
