    Thanks guys, I just installed Vista SP1 and now I'm a happy camper rofl.gif. I talked to Microsoft customer support and he was actually EXTREMELY helpful. He put some weird program on my computer so he could control it, pretty neat (could be used in the wrong way). Anyway, I'm about to start up ArmA and I'll post back with my... findings. Thanks again guys. Oh and what's this about the command "-maxmem=512"? What does that do? Limit my memory to the game to 512 MB?

    EDIT: It's working great now. No lag at all on max settings, the way I like it biggrin_o.gif. I get crashes sometimes though. Not very often.

    I have a 8800 GTS 640 MB, Athlon 64 X2 5600+, 2 GB RAM, and Vista Enterprise 32-bit SP0 and I get TERRIBLE performance with new patch. I've tried new drivers, Vista hotfixes, and pretty much everything I can think of to make it run smoother. I put it on max settings, bad, lowest settings, bad. What's going on? I read a few posts back that installing SP1 will fix it. However I'm scared to upgrade to SP1 because I did it before and it just got stuck when it said "Updating: Step 3 of 3" and would infinitely reboot and I had to reformat a whole lot of times. I've read that SP1 is the cause and so I haven't installed SP1 yet, and now I have no problems like that. So I'm confused, how are people running SP1 so good when I seem to have terrible luck with it. Thanks...

    What do you guys suggest I do? I have a pretty powerful GPU (8800 GTS 640 MB 128 stream processors) and I did what he said. It improved performance a little, but it didn't fix the problem. It'll act fine, then when I approach a city or a forest it lags out.

    EDIT: I'm downloading the Nvidia 175.16 drivers now, seeing if that'll help. The one I'm using now are 169.-- hopefully that'll fix this performance issue, though I somehow doubt it will.

    EDIT2: Well the new driver improved the FPS in Crysis by a long-shot, but not ArmA.

    72 @ May 25 2008,18:30)]Ok i try to be honest here and even though it might portrait me as a moron - so be it.

    I did something i never ever did in arma before. I used the "Quality Preference" button in options/graphics. Now, i was looking out over sand and there was 1 tree. It pissed me off royally when it run that particular image @ 25FPS and i thaught to myself that either my computer has seriously died on me or the 1.14 patch is completelly useless. But! I used the Quality Preference button and set it to "very high" and my settings changed in a little weird way. Not as i would like them but actually higher settings than i usually have. And what happened with the FPS after this? Went from 25 to 85!!?? wow_o.gif

    I dont get it?! Maybe that did a reset to the graphic options in some weird? Because i got tons of FPS and that even at higher settings. I need to go play now and see if this holds up, but so far ive been driving around - shooting things with my tank and the FPS is incredible. LOL *scratching my head hard*.

    So just thaught i put it out there if someone else never did this. Try it.

    I'll try that. I'm getting TERRIBLE performance when I drive/run around. It just starts lagging terribly and I can't even play the game hardly. At first I thought it was the new Warfare game mode (which I absolutely love) but it did the same thing in SP. I tried turning the graphics to very low everything and still lagged, not quite so much, but it was still VERY laggy. I usually run everything excluding AA at very high with no problems, what's going on? I have AACFSoundMod enabled and ArmAEffects if you guys think that turning those off would help let me know. Thanks...

    Well I'm still getting quite a bit of lag, although less than before.

    Does this mod discard the effect of vehicles being more quiet when your inside rather than outside? That's such a nice feature I hope it wont discard it. I know FDF and a few other sound mods are able to keep that feature, while others can't. The reason I ask is the above poster implied it's not working properly, while others have. Is it an audio card issue or what? Thanks...

    Does this work in multiplayer? Just got hooked into evolution and now I can't play SP because MP is so great, lol.

    Oh and how do I install this, no instructions. If it's in the readme, just let me know, I haven't looked at it yet. Thanks...
