got it (thought i had to put it into a ...arma/lowplants folder) thanks for the help!

i'm really stoked about this mod; but when i try to install it i get an error when the batch file executes: extracting addons/plants.pbo...Failed The system cannot find the path specified. A subdirectory or file addons already exists Creating temp...Failed i've tried installing it to a temp dir (so the dir structure is clean) and get the same error

arrgg!! i have the same card and i was hoping it would fix these issues.... oh well, glad i didn't waste my timw

well i hope this hasn't been posted before; but ever since i've gotten my xfx 8800GTS 320mb card, my texture's get all messed up. heres the sitrep: i just build a new system a couple months ago: ASUS commando mobo Intel C2D e6400 2.13 GHz 2x kingston 1GB DDR2 Low-latency ram Maxtor 160GB SATA HDD and a new XFX GeForce 8800GTS 320MB GPU i bought ArmA a few weeks ago, and everything runs decent except when i zoom in on vegetation the game crawls. so i changed the option that controls the detail of the vegetation (Texture Detail), which had been set on Normal. well then i started getting missing/flashing textures, and my performance would degrade over time until after a few minutes (~5-8) it was unplayable due to FPS. (alt-tabbing would fix the problem temporarily) i've messed around with all the settings and whenever i change tex detail to anything below normal (high and ultra-high work fine) my game turns to crap. ive done a clean re-install, tried i don't know how many vid card drivers (everything from the 'stock' ones all the way up to current beta's); i've defragged my HDD before and after installation, i have over 12 GB of free space on the HDD (for my page file), cleaning the game cache, etc. etc. also my in-play menu screens (like when you press esc or get killed) dont show when i turn down the Texture Detail; text gets blurry, and night vision flickers on and off. it seems this is a fairly common problem but i still haven't found a solution. is the 320 MB of VRAM too little? or is it nothing to do with the card? heres my in-game settings: Resolution: 1280x1024x32 Terrain Detail: Norm Object Detail: Norm Texture Detail: Norm Shading Detail: Low Postprocessing: Norm Anisotropic Filtering: Norm Shadow Detail: Low Anti-Aliasing: Norm Blood: High im running v. 1.08 the only setting that messes everything up is Texture Detail. anything less than Normal chunks my game. ive messed with all other setting and everything runs fine. its like it cant find/compress the textures (or however the game does it). im guessing it might be my vid card cause other's have had the same exact problem with the 8800gts series; but haven't found a solution. i just dont understand how turning down graphics options would kill my performance so bad. sorry if this has been posted, and thanks for any help!
