Did you not even read anything I wrote before you started categorizing me? "in 8 or 9 years of PC gaming I've never returned a PC game" and you're saying I run around each time a game is release complaining about it... pfft whatever. Why should I waste my time writing reports, taking screen shots and filing them into the BTS when I could instead be enjoying a game instead of beta testing it, If I knew this was a paid beta test I would of avoided it at all costs, If I want in a beta I'll check out fileplanet.com every now and than.

You want to know what is f*cking ridiculous? this game, the publishers the developers whoever, I payed for a PC game and I got an unfinished product still in testing stages, go figure.

In 8 or 9 years of PC gaming I have NEVER returned or even tried to return a game, that streak is now broken thanks to BIS and ArmA. I read something in this months issue of PCGAMER magazine and I wish BIS would of read this message before the release of this $45 beta, It's a wish list aiming at developers and publishers from a respected hard core FPS gamer: DON'T TURN PC GAMERS INTO BETA TESTERS "Complaining about bugs is nothing new, but some publishers have been absurdly negligent in allowing their PC games to be released in abysmal states." This is OBVIOUSLY what they are doing here, they have their own BUG TRACKING system for f**k's sake.... Give me my refund like I've asked so I can move on.

I bought the game on www.sprocketidea.com, I sent them a email requesting a refund Friday night and I have yet to receive a refund or even a reply back. Will you buy my game since I can't get a refund?

I know all about the sounds of weapons and bullets passing by me, when I was in the army I heard plenty of cracking noises over my head while being shot at... but that's not what im talking about here, I'm saying the sound STOPS working in the game, it's messed up... how else could I explain this? the mission I was talking about the sound would bug and that would mess up the mission, the leader would stop giving commands and the it would result in not be able to complete it. understand? I have a sound blaster audigy gamer sound card with the latest drivers from the wiki page, prior to 1.05 patch I had both sound accelerators 'enabled' now I had to disable EAX to get it to stop bugging SOMETIMES but half the time it still bugs and the sound ceases. again IM NOT TALKING ABOUT THE REALISM IN THE SOUNDS, IM TALKING ABOUT THE SOUNDS IN ARMA NOT WORKING RIGHT, my god! oh forget it, I'm giving up, there's so many things wrong with this game Id be wasting my personal time trying to list them all and id be doing BIS a favor and forget that. I'm out. lock this thread, ban me, flame away I dont give a crap. cant forget the guns:

why should someone have to sit around and be patient waiting for fixes? EA doesn't need to listen to their community you fools, they hire in game testers to test their games for HOURS on end before they even THINK about releasing them, a lot of you fan boys have your noses so far up boheima's butts you must be stupified. as far as comparing this game to bf2 or cs, shut the hell up, I said nothing about the gameplay in my ranting post, I'm talking about the TERRIBLE scripting and NUMEROUS bugs this game has, I said nothing about it's gameplay. as far as my sound goes, it was working fine before 1.05 patch. why should I have to rely on user made missions to play solo? the game comes with a campaign IT'S THE FIRST DESCRIPTION FROM THE FEATURES PAGE!!! "Story driven singleplayer campaign: by choosing the right mission order when playing the 20+ mission campaign you write your own history. Play it differently next time and find new ways to victory!" it should work just fine, I don't care if this game is supposed to be some glorious multi player game, if so then they should say nothing about single player and make it mmo. yes I agree this game has potential but as of right now It's a big giant game full of retarded AI and bad scripting making it impossible to beat missions, that's what it should say under the features section from the website. single player campaign

when I wake up, I better have my refund. "Hello, This is automatically generated message to your email. We have created record of your message in our database: "Message from Sprocket". bohemia ArmA get the picture?

they're leaving because this game is garbage

I restarted the campaign to enjoy the new features and it's impossible to beat really the first mission now(beaten dog), I've restarted the whole mission 3 times, I've loaded from the save point after the ride through the town in the truck 4 times... WTF am I supposed to do?! do you guys even play the mission after you make changes to make sure it works... it appears not on this one. I noticed how you fixed the problem with the "get in truck" "negative" "get in truck" "negative" etc etc by automatically loading the characters into the st. truck and that's fine but I ran into a bug after the trucks stops were none of the troops would get off because the disembark code wasn't given. then after finally getting that to work I kill all the enemies and am ordered to load the st. truck down the road and each time I get to that part I can't get into the truck.. what the hell! How can you expect me to get around this? restart the mission for a 4th time? Not to mention the sound goes out when there's alot of action going on... and it never comes back until the mission is over, I can't hear who's shooting at me until I'm either shot or dead because of that crap. I'll hear partial sounds here and there. If you guys are considering this patch any type of success, you're absolutely wrong. I've never in my life seen all the people you have working here for you releasing videos and all kinds of garbage before a patch to get people to buy the game thinking it's going to great just to get your sales up, this is wrong and I'll be filling a report for a full refund for a broken game that should be still in alpha stages. This is such a disgrace, I'm given up on this game and any future products ever released by this pathetic company. GL with a good review from a big game web site, they're going to eat this game up with all these bugs.

Before the patch I had the default Very high settings on with a good 25-30fps. Now with 1.05 I can have all settings on very high and post process effect on low with a 30-40fps, however If post process effect is turned on all the other settings need to be on normal to get an average 25fps. Post process effect seems to be the killer for me in this patch. I guess I can live without it, Don't really notice much with it on high or low anyways besides my GIANT fps change. my specs: amd 3.5+ 64bit 2gig ddr 400 ram geforce 7950GT KO

thanks a lot for sharing that, I had the idea but wasn't sure. I wonder why turning this to low boost my FPS up A LOT. This setting seems to be the killer in the FPS with my rig (although before 1.05 patch it didn't kill my FPS this much).

that's what I've been doing, I myself don't understand exactly what post process effects means, I've searched these forums, google and other game forums and found nothing.

Postprocess effects - allows to turn on/off depth of field blur. That's what it says in the maunal, but can someone translate that to english for me please, I can run the game 1.05 with EVERYTHING on VERY HIGH and post process on low with a very nice 30-40fps, however if post process is on high all my other settings need to be on normal to get maybe around 15-20fps if I'm lucky... So my question, if I have post process on low what kind of visible features will be lowered? what all extra eye candy will I loose? and if someone can show some screen shots to because I really can't see the difference but I know something is missing... my specs: amd 3.5+ 64bit 2gig DDR 400 ram e-GeForce 7950GT KO

Amen. This is why bittorrent exists. I'm sorry to inform you bit torrents suck and p2p is for lamers. Usenet > bit torrents, mIRC xdcc, ftp, http, and anything else I forgot. So, you're saying it would be better to use Usenet to make a file widely available for free, than, say bittorrent? Is this some kind of joke? why should I have to download something only as fast as I can upload? (ofcourse I don't because my bittorrent client is modded) however if they throw the patch on a newsgroup and people like me where my ISP gives me usenet access for free where I can leech the file at maximum modem speed. bittorrent 50KB/sec usenet newsgroup 800KB/sec nuff said.
