Did a few more tests regarding the MHQ issue and this is the result: CFOR N - OK CFOR S - OK BAF N - NOT OK BAF S - NOT OK TFOR N - NOT OK TFOR S - OK Edit: And it is working fine on my computer when running it as dedicated server - same installation and same mission files etc. Regards DirkG

I can confirm this bug on the official North mission. South is working fine, but in the North mission the MHQ does not appear. Using the editor it appear as it should in North version. Tested on 1.03 and 1.04, with OA 1.56 and 1.57. ps. THANK you for this mission! I've had hours of fun with it.

Any chance of an update to the normal and standalone version? Do not want to use ACE and a lot of the fixes are actually of benefit for the other versions. ps. Thank you for your great work!!

Try to set your graphics settings to low. When you see that the game is stable try to crank up the settings more and more.. Maybe also a driver update could help you solve this. Do not really know as I have not experienced this for a while (did that when I used Vista x64, back on XP again)

I use Vista x64 with version 6.0.1.1361 of the X-Fi driver and this version is working fine for me. Maybe you can try that version?

Have you updated the drivers? I use the same card and have "seen" some strange issues with some versions of drivers.

This map is really GREAT! Thank you! Just one thing that is on my wish list: able to respawn on camps.

That is really strange but congratulations!

If you command the group members to move, do they obey? Do you get a response like "Roger" or just nothing (no sound etc)?

Check your sound drivers. I had an issue when the sound driver for my Creative SB X-fi did not work properly. Currently using version 6.0.1.1361 and that is working fine. If the sound driver is not working you might end up having AI not obeying your orders.

What we could benefit from it is the fact the the devs will have access to the demo. If they should test the game they would actually have to buy it.

I think best would be to start get the demo running. It is only v1.06 but the 3d rendering problem should be visible there too. The demo can be downloaded by the developers or other people that can help getting this game running. When testing the demo Wine/demo just crash for me. Is this the same for you guys/girls? Any idea what is causing this?

I do not know exactly what is causing this issue but it started appearing when I installed v1.14. It might be the drivers or it might be the the patch... Do not really understand why because I have been running the game for a very long time without any issues until v1.14.... But, my best bet is that some Direct3d feature is used in ARMA that can be causing some problem in the driver as some people have problem running other 3d apps after a crash. Proof of that is also that the whole computer freeze up and it BSOD. This should not be the case if the cause is an application error. In that case the app should crash and CTD only... I think the best solution until Nvidia or BI solve this is to change the 3d settings through the Nvidia Control Panel. This is what I do now and it works fine...

Well, do you want to be able to play the game or not? If it helps changing the settings, I am happy with that until BI have fixed the bug.

You should try changing the graphic settings to Low and see if it solves the problem. If so - add more and more effects until it fail (reverse the latest change you did so you are back to stable settings). This can also be done via Nvidia Control Panel. This solved the issue for me atleast. Running Vista x64, 8800GT 640MB, v175.19 drivers.

A couple of weeks ago I started having strange issues trying to control AI. (for example move, action, get in etc) The AI would not obey my command and sometimes all I got was a "number two" in the speakers but no subtitles for "move" like you normally get. I could also hear the "number two" when exiting Options or Alt-tabbing to Arma sometimes. When thinking about it for a while I remember that I tried a new beta driver (2.18.0000) for my Creative X-Fi card due to some issues I had. Reinstalling the old driver did not solve the problem though... Creative released a new driver (2.18.0004) for X-Fi a couple of days ago and now it does work! Just want to let you know in case you get the same issue... Driver 2.18.0004 ps. Using Windows Vista x64 Business Edition w SP1

You probably need to update or reinstall your graphics drivers. I had this problem in Ubuntu and did an update of the drivers that solved the problem with this error message. (Using Nvidia drivers that is)

It does not look like you can disable HDR: Disable HDR? So it is probably that we need to wait for the implementation of HDR. I will do some investigation on this....

I think we should get people voting for Armed Assault in the AppDB at WineHQ to get more attention. If we do they will start looking (hopefully). This is something you (Armed Assault fans) can do to help out. You just need to register and put a vote on your favorite game <hint>. Â We are on top 100 but I hope we can bump it up to top 25 atleast. All we need is 25 more votes! VOTE!

Thank you. Now we only need more votes to get the devs attention!

Thank you Baddo for you input. I understand what you are saying but as I have said before - this is for solving the issue. Not if, but how. Maybe if this get fixed - it can help Arma2 to work when released. So, I have started a new thread on the Wine forum. Maybe we can continue the discussion on how to get things running and what we need to do there? Armed Assault - no 3d rendered

What is your experience in regards to speed etc compared to Windows?

I also had this problem after installation of 1.14. I could play for one hour max (often just a couple of minutes) and then the picture got black and the sound just repeated itself. I have changed the graphics settings to high performance. After this I have never experienced any freezing. (I did enable a few settings in the Nvidia control panel after this but I do not sit by my computer now). 8800 GTS 640MB - v175.16 driver. Windows Vista x64 (2MB Ram).

Well it might be so. But this thread is about getting it running on Wine. Not if we should or should not try. If it runs slower than on Windows - fine - but lets try getting it working just for the fun of it.

First of all: Wine Myths It might be slower but it might also work fine. We can not tell until we get it running... For my part I want to leave the Windows platform as soon as possible and the only thing left for my part is that I want to be able to run Armed Assault. On-topic: Why not try the new version of Wine with ARMA? It was released 27th of June. The more people testing and the more information we send to the developers the better...
