This issue is killing me, every time i have the action menu up and i try to fire, it will perform the action instead even i only have middle mouse mapped to it. How can i disable this?

Forcing it off fixed it for me ;)

Renaming it to arma2.exe

True, losing that much performance is something else. Could also be in a "wrong" pci-e slot.

Avarage FPS in armamark tests: 4870x2 in crossfire: 45-50 4870x2 single gpu: 30-35 280gtx: 55-60 nVidia sure got it right in ArmA. Note, these frames are much lower than actual gameplay frames, as that test is quite heavy. Avarage game fps with everything maxed, except shadows, and 1200 viewdistance, all of these combinations give pretty much v-sync capped 75fps, crossfire and 280 just being alot smoother when turning around etc. And this talk about quad cores not making any difference "Because arma uses just 1 core" is total BS. FPS in arma is very much dependant on your processor, and upgrading from dual core, no matter how high clocks it has, will provide huge FPS increases. Theres more to processors than cores and core speeds that make the difference. Bus speeds and cache sizes for one. ESPECIALLY with top end graphics cards.

My ArmA runs SLI and Crossfire just fine. FPS increases range from 20fps increase up to 40 compared to running it in single gpu mode. Fear.exe provided best FPS increase for 4870x2, 50% increase. Crysis.exe seems to work for 295. EDIT: Seems ArmA2 provides best results now that i tried it, on 4870x2 - flashing on start is gone and FPS is good. This is on 9.5 drivers. Have to try it on nvidia cards too :)

No, i'm not. Newest cards are bottlenecked by anything you can get from stores atm. Upgrading my 8800 to 280gtx did not give any FPS boost in ArmA until i upgraded my 3.2ghz x2 to 3ghz phenom 940, and performance increases were noticeable all the way to 4ghz.

That chopper behaviour really ruined some of my mission plans. I hope someone comes up with something. Hmm, to another subject... How about "Safe" firemode? Accidental discharges happen and that would be realistic and nice thing to have :)

Hmm.. Even if i give this cobra flyinheight 200, it will immedeatly drop its altitude and forget all about hes waypoints until all enemies he sees are dead. Same happens with ground units, units at hold waypoint start moving to any targets some other groups noticed :( Is there any way to disable some or all scripts that have to do with AI behaviour? Trying to create a mission here where controlled AI is a must, cant have them running around doing their own stuff. Transport choppers seem to work correctly, they keep their altitude etc. Managed to make a rapid moving insertion with them thanks to them actually doing what they are told to do ^^ Ofcourse its MP biased mod but still would be nice to have some control over the AI :)

Hm, seems the anti-aliasing issue fixed itself after a while, nothing should be different and now its working again, very odd. Anyway, is there way to disable the scripted attack chopper behaviour? They seem to try hiding behind trees and diving on the targets but they just end up crashing into forests and tall buildings, their scripting apparently overwrites any flyinheight or waypoint mode commands. And im still hoping to find away to override other AI scripts as well, having tank drive into the sea at a HOLD waypoint just because someone saw an enemy is simply not cool :S

Yes, i do use different gamename than the default windows one, clan tags and stuff. And that profile is in "ArmA other profiles". However, if i remove ace from my shortcut, it works just fine, no matter how many times i try. If i put it back, it starts disabling it again. Its very odd :confused: -nosplash -mod=beta;dbe1;@ace = Antialias is always disabled when i launch the game, even i put it back on every time. -nosplash -mod=beta;dbe1 = Antialias is always back to normal when i launch the game. I don't see how mod could do this, but... :(

Wonder if im the only one whos Antialias setting gets reset to "disabled" every time i launch arma with ace. Doesnt happen without it :O And now to the suggestions: Gamelogic to disable that new AI behaviour (they are running off from their waypoints when they hear someone shooting, when they are supposed to stay!) and to disable AI's magic ability to detect me even nobody ever saw nor heard me :S Elcan Specter to the rest of US arsenal too - love that thing! Black CARs And small adjustments to bodyarmor, rounds still seem to be a bit too effective on units with platecarriers :)

4870x2 Game runs flawlessly, high settings @ vsync capped 75fps for most times after enabling crossfire. With just 1 gpu its quite bad. However nVidia cards seem to get the same performance for less money :o

1: Your processor is bottlenecking your graphics card. 2: You might have wrong drivers. You did reinstall them correctly, right? 3: What verson of arma are you using? 4: What are your ingame settings? 5: What operating system are you on? 6: Is your bios and other drivers up to date?

Source? Im very much interested. I Upgraded my 280GTX to 4870X2 just to find out it was a downgrade for arma. While all other games gained great FPS increases, from 40 to 60 fps, arma is the opposite, my fps went from 60 down to 40

Thinking of better gear/weapon gui/dialog, something that would allow selection of base weapon model from list and then accessories from dropboxes or so, ive seen it done in some missions, something like this: And judging by selected options it will re-equip given unit when you press apply, now wouldnt that be easier than browsing thru a list with 500 different weapon combinations and ammo types? Having something like this integrated in to ace would be nice, make a hotkey menu you can access at any time, with options to modify your weapon, take silencer off or put scope on etc. This would definetly bring something new to missions, not having to live with welded accessories on your gun.. Maybe even take it 1 step further and add weapon accessory as items to slots. So you can pick up a scope from a crate and replace your aimpoint with it later on, as long as you have it with you. Then it will swap weapons and the item in inventory, how about that?

Donating possible?

Pick up the Asus M4A79 Deluxe instead of that MSI board and you should see major performance improvements. Meh, there was none available, all sold out, so i picked this MSI board for cheap 60 bucks. With 6400+ no noticeable gains even with 280GTX. However when i added phenom in, performance gain was quite crazy, well more than 100% increase, capped to 60fps+ @ 1600x1024 with everything maxed, just amazing - even this phenom clocks 200mhz slower stock. Oh, and clocks no probs with stock cooler and everything to 3.4ghz with stock voltages, just with multiplier, for 10% additional increase in benchmark. But i do have a feeling this MSI board is trash, odd sata probs and stuff. Guess im ordering that asus one.

It's not just his Athlon X2 4200+ causing the bottleneck, it's the age of his platform. Even a basic Core 2 Duo platform would be a major improvement. I'm sure the HD4850 runs Arma very impressively but not on that platform. That's one heck of a combination. I'd think that your video card is being bandwidth-starved by your platform. You'd need a much newer platform (Phenom II X4 or at least a high-clocked Core 2 Duo) to see your GTX 280 fly. Hmm, thinking of going with this next.. AMD Phenom II X4 940 + K9A2 CF-F AMD 790X Any better?

Oh snap, there was an edit button even i didnt find it at first try

AFAIK You can do this with ACE Mod.

Few wishes: New Gear GUI! Make a list of only the base weapons, then add "gadget" droplist/box/whatever where you can choose the available mods for this gun, and judging by those selections it will give you the right gun! LowPlants or similiar would be good to have cos of the signature issues. Modern units with M110 / SCAR / HK41x family weapons. All weapons animated, those which are, are gorgeous. Dragging to vehicles Ability to measure wind..? Spotter having something meaningful to do other than just measuring range! Not trying to be a nitpick here but the editor could use some love, say an editor addon with buildings/roads/vegs/etc named with some sense! And im propably getting shot for this but would love to have them editor names/groups cleaned up and made so that you can see what unit it actually is in the MP pool.. ACE Men (Desert) - USMC Automatic Rifleman ACE Men (Woodland) - Ranger Designated Marksman etc Instead of "ACESPECIALDESERFORCEWTFBBQUNITGROUP" - "Rifleman" And while im at the weapons box i notice.. "SCAR L" Has EOTECH on it? SCAR H is missing, only CQB version seems to be available? UMP45 has MP5 description.

I run X2 6400+, GTX 280 and 4 gigs of Corsair XMS2 800mhz, what is the bottleneck here? Possible upgrades would be +1ghz ram, quad core processor and some SLI/Crossfire GPU solution..?

EDIT: Script fixed as i finally got to test it, WORKS NOW! ******************************* This makes my 8 soldiers eject and form a nice defensive position around the car/chopper/etc. Can anyone help me change this script so it would add these game logics only as many as i need... could do it with something like " Goto : "(_unitcount" and then make #5 #7 etc between every logic line but... well, ideas?
