I tried searching but couldn't find an answer but if it's been answered before please point me to the info. What does the Video Memory options LOW-HIGH-VERYHIGH-DEFAULT equal to in terms of actual memory usage. In other words: How much Video Memory is ARMA II going to try to use if this is set to VERY HIGH? 1meg? 775K? Just looking for a break down of the actual numbers each setting corresponds too. Or is this asking for to much? :)

Nobody knows? :butbut:

It seems to be very random. Sometimes you'll have very good air support and sometimes the timing isn't there. I guess it's just like real life. And the scattered troops also seems random. Sometimes after leaving the beach you'll never see anyone again and you'll arrive at the airport as a lone wolf while other times everyone moves as one big group straight to the airport. I noticed something a few times in this mission and I'm wondering if anyone else has seen it: There's a Soldier on the apron of the deck just past the Helicopter that you're going to get on that just falls over sometimes. Sometimes he'll just slide through the deck and disappear and sometimes he just lays there. Has anyone else ever seen this? One other thing: Sometimes after being dropped off at the beach I'll receive a '<number> is down' message and look over and find someone dead on the beach. I've always thought that the helicopter hits the guy when it's taking off but I'm not really sure. Has anyone ever had someone die on the beach like that?

Thx This is news to me. I always ran with it set at 2048.

One more vote for a nobloom only option. :-)

LOL :laugh: That cracked me up. As far as the Bloom it is way over done even with the post-processing turned to low. What gets me is that in the very 1st scene of the campaign, on the carrier , right there in front of you are 3 glaring examples of this over done bloom effect. The two crew members with reflective patches on on the back of their helmet/uniforms and the radar dome up by the speaker are just ridiculous. How anyone can look at that and think it looks natural is beyond me. Other than that I'm absolutely loving this game. For some reason the firefights just feel more natural than Arma 1.

I also waited over 24hrs and also never received anything other than an automated responses to emails. When I finally did receive my cd-key there was an english message explaining that they we're fallen behind in sending out the keys since the demand was more than they had anticipated.

Does postFX=0 in ArmA2.cfg turn off post-processing? Does anyone know what the setting HDRPrecision do? Skeptic is right about the Fillrate problem. I had Fillrate set to 100% in game and the Render size was still set larger than my desktop resolution inf ArmA2.cfg. I had to manually set it to equal my desktop resolution.

I have ARMA Gold and ran the installer for the latest 1.12 Beta patch. Royal Flush isn't listed in the Campaign selection screen. I noticed the beta shortcut only mentions the beta folder but not dbe1..... Is there something special that has to be done to get the beta to work with ARMA Gold correctly?

Is it enough to just add the dbe1 folder to the mod switch in the shortcut or are there files that also need to be copied? Any help would be appreciated!

I just bought ARMA Gold and both my v1.08 and the v1.09B only have LOW-HIGH-VERY HIGH as options for Postprocessing. Should I have an OFF as well? I've never liked Depth of Field. Your eyes focus very fast while looking around and I've never seen a need to simulate what isn't there.

Hi I'm trying to download DMA LIBYA island and I can't find a working link to the required add ons for the included missions. There are 2 packs that included all the required vehicles and units for the missions, but the links to those seem to be dead. There are also individual links to all the separate add ons but those also seem to lead to dead links. Does anyone know where I could still download these two add on packs: DMA-LIBYA MISSIONS TROOPS ADDONS DMA-LIBYA MISSIONS VEHICLES ADDONS The original post is < HERE > *EDIT* I think I may have posted this in the wrong forum. My apologies if I have.

That worked marcomio. Thank You Sir! Here is another problem I have with the new 1.0 Libya Island. I would appreciate it if someone could point out what I may have setup wrong: After I end a mission either by dieing or aborting I go back to the Main Menu but the mission itself continues to play in the background behind the menu. In other words instead of the normal cut scene playing behind the menu selections the mission I was just playing continues to play out in the background. And as I move the mouse to select 'campaign' or 'mission' my character (if i was still alive) pans left and right and when I select a menu item by pressing left mouse button I fire my weapon...... This only happens after a Libya Island mission. Does anyone have any ideas what I have set up wrong? ***EDIT*** Never mind I finally realized I had the DMA_Libya_Anim folder in the OperationFlashpoint\addons folder rather than in OperationFlashpoint\RES\addons. Thanks again for everyones help. Much Appreciated!

Hi After many many years of service I recently retired my old Flashpoint Machine. (ti4200 finally died) The problem is that the slightly less older machine I'm trying to install it on reboots when running the game. If I start the game and let it sit at the main menu it will eventually freeze and reboot. If I hurry up and start a mission it will also eventually freeze and reboot. In both instances the sound is repeated for a couple of seconds before it reboots. And both will happen in under 1-2 minutes. After searching through the forum I turned off 'Automatically Restart' under system failure. I then found that every time the sound started repeating I would get an error message stating n4_dsp.dll(?) had caused an error which I assume is the nvidia driver for my 6200 pci graphics card (stop laughing! ) I'm currently running 93.71 drivers and I also tried 91.47 drivers which are the ones that came with the card with no change. I still get freeze/reboot. I used driver cleaner between to clean old drivers. Could someone please recommend a driver I might try with this card that would have a fighting chance of working with this game? I really don't want to download the latest and install since it's a pci card and I'm not sure what drivers would support that. Any help would be appreciated. BTW, I also tried turning off hardware acceleration for my Creative x-fi xtreme gamer soundcard with no change. Oh and the motherboard doesn't have a agp slot so there is no agp apature setting in the bios. System specs: Intel 2.54 1G ram x-fi xtreme gamer with latest drivers nvidia 6200a pci graphics card Only the 'older' machines here are allowed to be used for gaming. The newer machines are strictly work only.

Hi I did look there but it only has the add ons needed for the Island itself not the included missions. Sanctuary pointed out where I could find them so I have it up and running. Thanks for the reply!

Got it. Thank You! I just noticed I have the Beta 1 Libya Island (libya_256.pbo). I see a newer version 1.0 (DMA_libya.pbo) Is it OK to update to the latest or will that break everything? Also, Every once in a while I get a missing script error. It's looking for script called cure_lag(?). I just click ok to get past the error and everything seems to be ok afterwards. Any ideas where I should look for that script in the mod directory? Nevermind I just tried updating the Island to 1.0 and it did break the missions. They are still looking for things in the beta libya_256.pbo. I guess the missions would have to be updated for them to work with 1.0 rather than the Beta that they were released with. I'm still wondering if I should look for the missing script it complains about every once in a while.

Hi I was looking for the add on packs for the missions that come with DMA LYBIA island. I think I posted my request in the wrong place. It's posted < HERE > and I think I should have posted it in this thread. Could someone please point me to where I might find these 2 vehicle/unit packs?

Problem Solved! I finally stumbled upon what the problem was: If AntiAliasing is left set to Application Controlled OFP freezes and reboots every time. I'm able to manually set it to 2x, 2xQ, 4x, 8x..... and even set it to off with no problem, but it's a no go if left in it's default position Application Controlled. All drivers I tried (and I think I tried them all) acted this way and it also doesn't seem to be the texture size (running out of video memory) because it freezes even with 64x64 textures at 800x600 16 bit color. Every time I set it to App Control it freezes and reboots regardless of what game settings are used. I have a feeling that it's just something on my particular machine that is causing the problem but I thought I mention what I had found just in case some day some one else is searching for a solution to a similar problem. That was a tough one to find.

Hi, It's not Cliche my friend. All suggestions are welcome as it may lead to solving my problem. Overheating: I downloaded and ran a monitor and didn't find anything unusual in the temps. They only rose maybe 2-3 degrees. The card also doesn't lock up while playing other games....for instance I just fired up Falcon Allied Force and flew around maybe 20 minutes with no problems. I'm thinking if OFP overheated the vid card falcon would as well but there were no problems there. Drivers: I tried so many drivers it's not even funny. I went all the way back until they stopped recognizing the card (maybe 5x.xx) and I also tried all the way up to the current one that was just released a few days ago. None had any effect on the lockups/reboots. Latency: My bios doesn't have any settings for this so I downloaded pci latency tool and used that. The vid card was set to 258 and I used the tool to try 32, 64 and 128. None had any effect on the reboots. BTW, the sound card was set at 64. This actually looked promising but it locked up just a quickly at 32 as it did set to it's default 258 which seems high to me. Cards: I have the Sound card, Video card and nic card installed. I pulled out the nic card with no effect. I haven't tried swapping slots or pulling the sound card yet. Memory: I download one of those memory torture tests and let it run all night. It came up negative on problems. I haven't tried pulling one stick. *At this point I'm really out of ideas. Any other suggestions as to what I may try would really be appreciated.* Searching through the forum I noticed people mentioning that the newer drivers (dx9 rather than dx8) were causing OFP problems but I never saw anyone mention any specifics. Could someone explain to me what it is about the newer drivers that gave OFP problems? Maybe it'll help me figure out what is wrong since I really think it's a driver problem more than anything else. Thanks again Operator of dissidence for the suggestions. Much Appreciated!

Hi I'm currently playing through the original campaigns and I was wondering if someone could point out which mod I could install that would just enhance the original game and still allow me to play the campaigns. Maybe just add more realism and better AI. I may be wrong but it seems that mods like ffur 2006 replace things so that the original campaigns would be broken.....but I may be wrong since it's all a little confusing. BTW, I never played through these campaigns way back when I originaly bought the game because I made the mistake of playing online one night and never looked back. I had some of the best times playing this game online!!!!

Thanks for the responses! I've downloaded WGL 5.0 and the converted 1985 campaign. It looks GREAT so far. I'll also try FFUR 2006
