Well i have good news :) I installed the nVIDA beta drivers and i managed to lock the FPS in arma to 30 FPS.. The game is running perfectly and so smooth. Here is my nvidia Inspector settings for ArmA2:OA. Click for full view. http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/8914/62345722.jpg I hope this will help some of you to have a smoother performance in your ArmA 2

With the new beta drivers from nVIDA, you can use nvidia Inspector(the new nHancer) to lock your framerate(FPS) using the FPS limit function. Or you can also use vertical sync TearControl (adaptive) and you can set Vertical Sync to 1/2, will also lock your FPS to 30. I haven't test this on ArmA 2, but i play other games and i helps to get more smoother performance. So if anyone like to test this on arma, please report back :) I like to know if this can help to get more smooth performance in the game.

Good news, thanks :)

Hmm, my GPU always reaches 100% and haven't had any issue with that, only is the temp.. i usually hit 85'C. But i think that is normally for my GPU.

Hi. I use Ultimate Defrag v.3 and it those a very good job.

Merry Christmas and happy new year BIS! Thank you very much for all the hard work on this final release :dance1::cheers:

Good work BIS!!! Can't wait for the final 1.60 :p

Hi. I was trying to play ArmA 2 today and got this message from Steam: Steam - Error This game is currently unavailable. Please try again at another time What the fu... is that, never seen that before. And i can't play Combined Operations because of this :( EDIT: It seems to work again after i was following this from steam. After that i was running Verifying Integrity Of Game Cache and for some reason, i got a new arma2.exe file, dated today but same version. Well, the ArmA2 to start now without any problems.... strange.

Nice program, i was thinking its time to try out linux and arma2 server, so this is a program i'm gonna try out. Thanks :) And nice site you have, you may have one problem, one .css file is missing from your site. Not very important, but nice to know. http://www.rexxenexx.com/plugins/content/jstyle/dialog.css ;)

Hi. You need to enable ICMP Ping on your router/firewall. Most of the routers to day has "ping" disable. That's mean no one from outside can ping your IP. And also make sure you have the correct ports open for your arma 2 server.

Good news $able :)

Hi. It' more likely like i told and Dwarden After i set my serve to private and removed my open ports. The traffic stopped after couple of days. This is query services or game monitoring from sites that keeps your server info posted somewhere and there is other tools around here that are doing the same.

Thanks $able ;) - IP range would be nice to ban - Chat window, opportunity to send messages to your server, global and private - Bandwidth Monitoring on each player (Traffic In/Out)

Hi. Yeah, the traffic is still there even if you shutdown your arma 2 server. I tested this. I shutdown my arma 2 test server, my router still indicate traffic to my arma 2 test server. So i turn off my arma 2 server computer, and then the traffic stopped :) Something to try: Remove all your arma 2 server ports from your router/firewall/port forward. Then change your "server.cfg" and remove reportingIP=xxxxxxxxx or just remove the line and add this one reportingIP="<>"; This will run your server Private, it's suppose to mean that your server will not be online/public. No one can see it. Before you start your arma 2 server, change your arma 2 port to something else. Don't use the same port as you have. Now see if you still got traffic out from the arma2oaserver.exe. Theoretical, you should NOT have any traffic out now, since your server are in private and new port. EDIT: I did this test and i can report, there is no more traffic out :) Status say: UDP Listen port 2802, 2804 and 2805. Port 2802 is my arma test server port, and port 2804 and 2805 is default. I didn't open those port in my router/firewall. This mean, there is no buggy buggy exe file :) So all the traffic out is because gamespy and other sites are collection info of your arma 2 server session.

- Global database for automatically download global bans from Battleye. Would be nice for new server admins to have that options to enable/download a global ban list :) - Banned by IP, opportunity to add IP's, Singel IP and IP range to ban/kick

Well, you are not alone... I have a test server online with password. But i do see my server send lot of UDP traffic to 72.241.243.204 and some other IP's on Remote port UDP 27005 and UDP 80 I found this info from site: http://pastebin.com/7Y64x0vQ I don't know what kind of list that is, but that IP shows up in that list. Player McLovin'! connected from 72.241.243.204:27005 <---- funny shit.. IP: 72.241.243.204 for 10 min, my server sent 40 500 254 Bytes Out, Protocol UDP and Remote Port UDP 27005 and 36 000 Packets IP: 98.200.194.27 for 10 min, my server sent 18 043 392 Bytes Out, Protocol UDP and Remote Port UDP 80 and 16 584 Packets IP: 24.2.33.74 (NoXiousNet.com) for 10 min, my server sent 38 844 864 Bytes Out, Protocol UDP and Remote Port UDP 27005 and 35 703 Packets IP: 67.8.172.255 for 10 min, my server sent 39 153 360 Bytes Out, Protocol UDP and Remote Port UDP 80 and 37 720 Packets BUT.... i think this is quite normally since the server is public, it's not only GameSpy that are collection info from your server, it's lot of other site out there that are doing the same, GameTracker, etc etc and all the other people that are in multiplayer browser in the game, six updates etc etc :) And this is happen even if i set my server as Private: reportingIP="127.0.0.1" IP: 67.8.172.255 for 10 min, my server sent 41 691 270 Bytes Out, Protocol UDP and Remote Port UDP 80 and 40 720 Packets IP: 24.2.33.74 (NoXiousNet.com) stopped after 4 min, my server sent 14 152 092 Bytes Out, Protocol UDP and Remote Port UDP 27005 and 13 634 Packets And port UDP 27005 are mostly used by master servers.

Thank you very much Dwarden :)

@Dwarden I updated my test server with this beta update, but i didn't update my client PC. I still get kicked "wrong signature for file pmc\addons\xxxxxxxxx.pbo Do I also need to update my client PC to run this beta to get ride of this wrong signature error?

Hi. Anyone here have the ARMA II: Combined Operations from STEAM? I only mean the ARMA II: Combined Operations pack, and how it is installed. Will the ARMA II: Combined Operations pack install both ArmA 2 and Arma 2 OA in same folder or it will be installed in different folders? Thanks

Woww, it's amazing. Great work ;)

I'm 33

I don't have any problem running ArmA on my system. Very good FPS all the time in MP and SP playing.

Well why not give arma2.exe/arma2oa.exe file just 2 core in your task manager under Processes, right click on the arma2.exe / or arma2oa.exe and then select "set affinity" then select just two cores... just a tips.. i haven't tested it.

I almost have the same FPS as you have with my system. I don't have OC my GPU, only my CPU. ArmA2 need horsepower :) In multiplayer i have average of 30 FPS on full 30 players Domination map. You don't need more FPS, it's smooth in gameplay.
