So you're saying that it's a lie that I've tested this 20 odd times? If you actually read my walkthrough you'll see that he'll run 4/5 times. Since he didn't do that the first time I usually didn't save before approaching him when I replayed it. That was a couple of times. Then I had to load a couple of times when he ran. A few times I accidentally arrested him (ending the mission, killing the saves), and then some verification runs (since you can capture Bardak in >5 minutes from mission start). Also, I'm not saying that he appears other places, I'm saying if you follow my walkthrough he will be there. Just try it (and remember that you have to search the area so don't go more 100m away from castle. You could even try watching from the castle roof).

Well I claim he does. :) As I said, you have to talk to fountain guy and Malek first, then you have to search the area. I've played it a ton of times i.e. atleast 20 times to test this theory and it always hold water but I've never caught him inside the castle though. My theory is that you have several successful approaches to catch him as long as you things in a certain order. Meaning if you follow another certain set of actions he will always be e.g. in the quarry.

Here's a faster walkthru for you. :)

Mine's about 60-70% but I've noticed that when I get stuttering, the GPU load is at 0%. That probably means that the GPU doesn't get the textures fast enough. Compiling a 64-bits version and some tweaking here seems necessary but I'll get an SSD disk when prices drop from insane to just crazy to see if that helps. Any way to check how much memory my cards use?

So I finally ran this program during a session. I played Razor Two with Normal on all settings except Postprocess (disabled) and Anisotropic (low) and 2140 VD running on 1680x1050. My FPS was around 20-30 FPS around the quarry. Now that doesn't sound bad but I would really like 4-5km VD (I know objects aren't drawn that far) but with the above set up, my GPU Load % reached a maximum of 40% with most numbers being 37-38%. Shouldn't either my load % or FPS be higher here? If I increase my VD the FPS drops and stuttering occurs (like 0.5 fps) even in dense forrests where I don't see much (far). HW: Q9550 @ 2.82GHz 4 GB RAM 2 x 4890 in x-fire Win7 x64 (My CPU is never maxed out btw.)

Here's a complete walkthru for you.

There's a difference between CPU and GPU, besides I have crossfire running. :)

It can read infinite times but writing to it is somewhat limited so you wouldn't want your page file there.

Well my temperature is fairly high (e.g. 70C) and I've checked my CPU usage. It use all 4 cores and noone is at 100%. I didn't check during this test but I've checked several other times where I get the same FPS.

You can get a 128GB for $300 but you really don't need a big disk as it only will contain OS and maybe applications (you can install other programs on a normal HDD). Prices are coming down and Intel are already announcing price drops so it looks like the next step. My HDD is the weakest spot on my PC right now.

Any big changes from the 9.7beta drivers?

Instead of reporting in at the LZ, go back to Manhattan base and load everyone into the LAV (there's 2 available under the camo-net on the right side inside the base (if you enter the base from the road)) then go to the LZ. Engage and knock out the vehicles immediately (you can be the gunner yourself if you the AI is too slow). Unless the chopper already crashed / was shot down before you called it in, you should be fine now. Edit: Even the hummer by the CheckPoint will do.

When you get out in to the rural areas where you have almost no light pollution and there's no moon (e.g. heavy clouds or dense forrest, no snow or light dots) it can get so dark that you only see outlines on the horizon and even seeing 3ft ahead is tough. I've had problems following a mine cleared path marked with blue paiting on stones every 2-3m even with NVGs (old ones though).

My main attraction to the game isn't the actual shooting (as it usually leads to me being killed by unseen enemy ;)), but rather the planning of the mission. I think the strategy aspect of the game and the fact that it offers all aspects of an operation is the attraction of the game. OP clearly only wants one aspect of a mission and since ArmaII offers the full package, this isn't really the game for him unless he "sees the light". :)

I don't know if you have the OBM FW or not but DL this file: ftp://ftp.zyxel.dk/P-660HW-D1/firmware/P-660HW-D1_3.40(AGL.7)C0.zip Open the file and pull the .bin file to your desktop. Log into the router -> Maintenance -> FW upgrade -> Browse -> Select the BIN file from your desktop -> Upload/Upgrade -> Wait until the SYS (or PWR on some models) stops blinking and is lit continuously for at least 5 secs. Do NOT power off your CPE during FW upgrade as it will be a major hassle to get it going again. If you don't have (AGL.x) FW on your unit, the file will be uploaded but no upgrade will happen as it is the wrong firmware. You can check if you have (AGL.x) either on the first screen or System -> General Info (depending on how your GUI looks). I suspect this to be the culprit.

There is no such thing as a Prestige 600, that's the general name for the entire ADSL/ADSL2+ series of CPEs which mounts to a ridiculous number of models (like 50 or something) and one CPE can have 2-3 FW branches so I need the exact model and FW version. Or atleast FW version and I can backtrack from there.

Hi. I work at ZyXEL and it looks like the CPE crashes because Arma opens too many connections at the same time. This is probably a bug that has been fixed already so look on the bottom of the CPE and give me the exact model (probably P660-*1 or something - I need the complete name) of the gray sticker there, then log into the CPE and check what Firmware (ZyNOS) version you're running.

Try bigger fonts and more question marks when you ask... :rolleyes: Read the mission profile, it states her movements quite accurately. I had to sit outside the church and wait for her to appear. You can see her car outside the church. What I had to do was get the hummer back at base (with the woman running after me), went back and picked up razor, drove to LZ, got in as gunner and took out the UAZs myself. Chopper landed safely, she got aboard and I completed the task. I believe I got 1/2 evidence from it as well.

It could be Windows Indexing, couldn't it?

I'm currently using win7 RC (7100) with 2x4890. With the 9.6 drivers I got x-fire running 1/10 on winxp, and when it was running I had no improvement. On Win7 and 9.6 I got x-fire running every time I had the -winxp flag set, but still no improvement. With 9.7beta drivers I finally got x-fire (without -winxp flag) and the performance I was supposed to get.

Ah great! Thanks for the quick response! ---------- Post added at 02:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:45 PM ---------- One more thing, how do I create more units? Can I make a team, disband the team and get them as unit appearing on my command unit? ---------- Post added at 03:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 PM ---------- Or is there a way to strengthen any of my existing units?

If I build an MG nest, how do I get personell to get in there? I'm playing badlands and I know I can use my team-members, but I would prefer to use them in combat. Can I buy some AI to man it?

The insurgent technicals knocks out the chopper so you need to take them out quickly. Unfortunately you don't get any messages of this but you should see/hear the chopper crash. If that happens, either retry or execute her.

Sorry Bytes, my bad then.

Well it's kinda hard for me to see the actual percentages here, but the two on the right side, added together, make up about 100%. The two on the left added together looks like about 100% to me. If you have some stress-testing program that actually gives you 100% *on the same CPU-monitor as the screenshot* on all 8 "cores" I'm wrong but I've never seen that happen with hyperthreading cores.
