That is strange. Not heard of that before. Try and edit the file ArmA2.cfg in MyDocuments/ArmA 2 There is a line called 3d_performance. I put mine to 160000

Try vid memory setting at "Very High" All drivers up to date?

Hi Ben, First remove everything you added to addons folder. For each addon: Make a folder called @name (name can be anything) Make a folder inside called addons Put the addon files in there. Edit your Arma shortcut by right-click on the icon and select Properties (note: must be shortcut not original exe) The command line should look something like: C:\Games\ArmA2\arma2.exe -nosplash -world=empty -mod=@name;@name2;@name3 _____^Arma location^_______^skip loadscreens ___________________________________^Loads faster ______________________________________________^mod folders in list separated by ; Its harder to explain than to actually do it so have fun...

I haven't been able to test 1.03 yet but there was a bug in 1.02 that if you made the first waypoint of an AI squad "safe" mode and then they were attacked, they would not react.

I had this editor problem in 1.02 as well. After some fiddling it went back to normal. Sorry, I duno what fixed it but I didn't re-instsall anything. BTW I use TIR5 so it was probably that.

It is if you get kicked or even banned for TKing

Yep, defraging is very important for ArmA2 as its streaming lots of data constantly. Its also advised to install to its own partition (closest letter to C: as possible to keep it on fast outer part of disk) I had Auslogics and actually think "Ultimate defrag" is better: http://download.cnet.com/UltimateDefrag-Freeware-Edition/3000-2094_4-10582157.html Bit more complicated to use but thats what makes it more powerful. Just read help file.

ArmA2 only uses 2Gb ram max. Any more will not be used by ArmA directly but will help reduce the load from Windowz. A 32bit app like ArmA2 will not run as efficiently in 64bit operating system so XP 32 is the best OS to use.

I agree. I much prefer cardinal directions or clock face reference for direction. Having "close", "near" or "far" is OK for distance if the target is not confirmed.

When they say "Where are you" it just means they are far from you but they will eventually get to you. As stated above you can select them and click the ground next to you but then they will stay there so if you move they will not.

Yes, its bloodly annoying and I mentioned it in another thread. kju: that link doesn't seem to work. I hope its changed in game rather than having to use yet another script.

A nice detail I noticed a few times when a soldier/medic is going to heal someone he will look around to make sure its safe. Thats why they don't always heal immediately because they will engage any enemy around until its safe to heal. Love it...

Yeah, I guess it would be like that IRL but for the sake of gameplay I would vote to have the commander view separate so the turret rotation is ignored. Great news, thanks!!! Of course it would be better to have it built into the game instead of having lots of scripts running in the background.

I understood that they were going to go on to CarrierCommand and leave milsim for a while at least. It may be that other companies (like with Codies) try to cash-in on the milsim genre. Hopefully BI will come back to do the next gen milsim after they finish CarrierCommand

Well then now they are big puff balls ;)

No it isn't We are talking about muzzle flash not dust kick.

Its been said before but needs to be said again... all weapon sights need to have an elevation adjustment! Each keypress up or down would be equivalent to one "notch" (a click when turning the adjustment). I'm not sure of the actual values but is each notch equavalent to 20 yards closer or further?

Don't worry... Won't be long before "Unsung Heroes" mod is ported to ArmA2 (hopefully) http://ofp.gamepark.cz/_hosted/unsung/ If not then hopefully someone will make a mod... ;)

OverDawg: I duno if there is a leak problem. It could just be the huge amount of data going through the gcard ram. (It may not be the most efficient code of course) Machinist: Whats your gcard and your ingame texture and memory settings? If you have a gcard with at least 1mb... Try NORMAL or HIGH for textures (not VERY HIGH) Memory: Try VERY HIGH or DEFAULT. (Note: DEFAULT is slightly slower in FPS but keeps more textures in ram so there is less popping and updating) Fast HDD is essential and ArmA works best if installed in its own partition.

Good good. When in doubt... tweak!

Agreed on all counts... ;)

LOL and you expect it to run...???

Yes, current anim must finish before death anim starts.

I guess you have latest drivers...? Have you experimented with settings including the windows graphics settings? If none of the above help then... Erm.... new graphics card ;) A friend of mine has HD4890 and its has really impressive performance for the price.

I think your graphics card is struggling as the water uses the most complex shaders.
