It's the same as when I'm with friendly AI on one side of a city and they spot targets on the other side. There's no way they could've seen or heard those units yet somehow they know where they are. Also if I've joined a squad with a friend in co-op evolution, our characters will call out targets when we're behind walls blocks away from anything. It's like having a cheat on to see through walls or something.

I think it might fail the mission if you kill too many but I'm not sure.. I think the most I've done is shot a few in the legs and arms.

Hey guys, was wondering if someone can help me. I'm using track IR4 with Arma 2 and my track IR is at the latest software version and I've updated my games list thing. I start up Arma 2, the little blue light is on to say that it sees my game and the green light is on to show that it's tracking. I load up the armoury only to find out that Track IR doesn't seem to be moving my head in game, infantry or vehicles. I can see in the controls it's got Track IR set for infantry lean and under move head analog, whatever that means. The controls read something like: Look up/down etc (analog) - 'Track IR rot up./down' etc Sorry if this is a silly question but why isn't it working? Arma 1 was just start up Track IR, load the game and done. Has my game reassigned my Track Ir controls to the wrong place or something? Any help would be appreciated, this game looks great but I can't fly anything until I get this issue sorted. :) If someone could help me out soonish, that would be awesome. Holding off playing properly until it's fixed

I like that. 'I know there's an enemy there but I'm going to pretend like I don't!' :)

I've noticed in the full retail game, when I'm in a squad with humans or AI that even if they're behind a wall, they'll automatically spot stuff on the other side of the city even though there's no audible or visible clue as to what would be there. Arma 1 the AI were known for spotting stuff miles away, when I heard about the development of this game, they were meant to be implementing features to stop AI seeing through stuff like trees but...maybe they have and they can just see through everything else instead lol.

Sadly it seems to be more commonplace that games are being released with major problems in them.. I too have seen lots of AI helicopter pilots crashing into the trees and stuff. Happened in the campaign when I told the heli pilot to pick me up in an open field, he flew low over the trees coming to get me, when the trees were at least 1km away. Also, in multiplayer with stuff like evo, I've noticed it a lot. Helicopters are no real threat because half the time they're bouncing off trees and buildings, same for the Ai that flys the big SU-34, usually flies in low for a strafing run but some how doesn't power up it's engines and just glides into the ground. I've also seen the thing with slow loading/rendering textures, people may think it's something to do with drivers or hardware but it was something that happened alot in Arma 1 too and is a problem with the game. 2 different friends of mine, with 2 compleltey different high end PC's have this. I mean it's not game breaking, the textures do load eventually but it's not a few seconds, it's more like 10. I have an Nvidia card, another friend has ATI and then my other friend has an SLI Nvidia card, all top of the range yet we all experience this problem? It's the game. :) Can't say I've experience Ai teammates not responding to orders though..maybe once or twice in multipalyer when I told them to get out of a vehicle but I have to ask them a few times. Sure, this game will be improved with patches, just like they did with Arma 1 but it's kind of a sad area we're going to when games aren't release with no problems. Sure, a glitch here and there but things like these would be noticed in beta testing and probably reported but not fixed...why?

Check your objectives, are you sure you just haven't spoke to the right person about starting the campaign/briefing? Also I think the ship's name is Khe Sahn as in some place from Vietnam. :D

Combine the 2 above posts and that is your answer. :)

Just to update this, it seems to be when in the BMP, if you're looking down the sights of the BMP and die or respawn while looking down the sights, the effect remains on your screen until you restart your game.

I don't mind so much about the flares but at least some kind of missle warning would be better. At least then you can take evasive manouvers.

Why are you going to reinstall?? Try playing in different multiplayer servers...play singleplayer, see what happens.. You could've just ended up in a hacked server. I've noticed alot of them.

I have this problem with a persons face from my squad. Noticed it in singleplayer sometimes, when it's taking ages to render properly, a squad mate will have a completley white head. It's a little bit freaky sometimes to turn around and there he is right behind you..

Hmm, I get this recieving thing but only sometimes after I switch from map view back to normal view and occasionally after the game auto saves. I'll get the recieving message for about 20 seconds, I can still hear game sounds and according to my friends who are in my server (which is usually when I get it) that the game is still running. It's not so much of a problem if you're on foot but I can imagine this turning into a nightmare later in game, when you're trying to fly something and the game autosaves, only to leave you with a black screen for 30 odd seconds..

Well, I don't use it because I can't change the setting in my actual graphics menu and I can't really be bothered to find it in my .cfg. I should imagine the less computer savvy people don't really know about .cgf files at all, so there's no way of changing the setting. :)

The Ai slots have nothing to do with it, they're basically open...if your friend can get in, then he'll just take over where the AI is supposed to be..as you say, it's more likley down to firewalls and ports blocking your friends out. I just use hamachi with my friends and play like we're on direct LAN connections, much easier.

Yeah, there's lots of bugs in the campaign. I'm currently playing singleplayer but I've done a bit of co-op. I'm up to the level where you have to go around searching for ChDKz camps, for some reason, I can hear russian voices echoeing as if I'm meant to be near a conversation happening but I'm 1mile or more away from towns or way up in a transport chopper...sounds can echo, only voice though for some reason, when I play the campaign, the game doesn't render completley, it sort of looks like I'm running it at medium settings although I have high settings. No problems with actual multiplayer, my game renders fine then..some of these bugs were present in Arma...it's a little silly that they're still apparant in Arma 2, surely they would've revised some coding when developing this sequel.

Yeah, I had this problem with Fallout 3 and now I'm getting it with Arma 2. The disc is fine for installing or putting it into the PC, it will read okay but when the disc is already in the computer and you try to load the program, it says 'please insert correct disc' or something along those lines. Best thing you can do is to keep taking out the disc and putting back in. I have steam so i tried adding the shortcut to my steam games list and I can launch it from there no problem, so I use that now.

Hey guys, I've noticed this a lot and it's really starting to get on my nerves. It seems everytime I close down my game and start it again sometime later, my graphics options keep changing. Usually it's the dropping of view distance and some settings switching back to normal. I have no problems running this game on high to very high. When this happens, for some reason, the highest setting I can change 'terrain detail' to is 'normal'. I have to change the overall quality in the simplified menu a few times for the game to allow me to set it back to high. I've also noticed that 'Antialiasing' is turned to 'disabled' with no way for me to turn it back on. Does anyone know why my graphics keep resetting like this?? I have no performance problems so I can't understand why my game would do it. Is my .cfg file or something messed up? --------------------------- On further inspection it seems that my terrain detail is only letting me have a maximum of normal when I change my view distance all the way up to 10 miles. Why is this?? I wish to keep it on high. It's really annoying. The most I can have is 7745 under visibility and still keep the high setting for terain. Why?

Not even sure where the .cfg file is to be honest, can't see it in the main directory or the temp local folder thing. I have 2.6ghz dual core, 4gb Ram, 8800gts.. Currently the game settings are all on high, apart from Antialiasing as it's stuck on disabled. My overall settings are on 'veryhigh' in the simple menu which doesn't really make sense, does it? My view distance is at what I can max it currently because of this wierd problem, which is 7745 and my interface and 3d resolution are at 1280x1024, interface size is at small and my ratio is 5:4 TFT monitor.

Yeah, I managed to get it sorted. Thanks anyway. :D As for the flag respawn thing, it fixed itself when I restarted the server.

Anyone know what part of the game file I need to edit so I can reduce the rank requirements? I''d like to edit it for a LAN game with a few players so having to get 30+ kills for the better vehicles would take a bit longer than we'd like. Also, just got back form playing a game, seems like my friend couldn't use the base flag spawn/teleport feature. Any ideas why?

I think Evolution is great. The server I used to play it, well the majority of players would be teamworking. Especially the guys flying transports for the infantry to get around. They didn't have to and I certainly didn't have to when i got to higher ranks, I could've just got in a jet and been getting lots and lots of kills. For me and most of the other peopel in the server, it was about getting to the overall goal of completing the map or even just team working because most of the time I didn't stay till the end. Just joined for the teamwork. I'll be trying out this co-op marines thing with some friends now, should be good.

Not sure if anyone's noticed but it seems when you look through the gunsight in the BMP it sticks that sort of tint-ish, filter on your screen as if you're looking through the scope but when you come back out of scope, the tint stays on your screen unless you restart the game... Not tried other vehicles yet but I've had it a few times now with the BMP.

Oh dear, the only place I didn't check as I wouldn't have thought it would be classed as a 3rd party controller haha. Thank you very much.

I noticed that the stuff like sunglasses and things in the edit profile menu has just completley one coloured texture models..is that normal? No other problems with graphics.
