Thief 2 and Deus Ex are great games, but congrats to BIS on getting two of theirs in the top 100.

absolutely brilliant news about the DRM removal, thank you.

treat this as a bug report, if it comes across as a little bitchy that's because i have been waiting since before 1.03 was released to be able to play this game. i have played up till badlands. at badlands i completed the mission but never had the level finish, whatever the scripted victory conditions they never kicked in to let me get to the next level. 1.04 comes promising lots of badlands mission fixes so i have a go again after two months (?), only to find that the cut scene at the first captured village is suffering a mortar bombardment (or some such) whilst i stand immobile listening to father fyodor blather on. in short, members to razor team succumb to explosion trauma before the cutscene finishes, thus preventing me from continuing the mission. really BIS, sort it out. please!

a shame. :(

need a poll option for both.

i did. :)

so this still happens with 1.03 huh? that's where i am stuck, looks like i'll continue waiting for 1.04.

cheers PUKF

we know that Arma2 is CPU heavy, and we know this CPU load is partly AI based because multiplayer has a greater FPS than single player. it is reasonable for the AI to sample state changes less frequently (eg checking for sight/sound indicators of player characters) if a failure to so means no decisions get made because the AI gets clogged up by giving all 200 NPC's 200 state change checks per second.

get well soon. :)

i'd love to know if badlands is actually finishable now. i have achieved all the missions twice now, and each time the conquer territory mission objective remains unchecked and the mission itself fails to end.

fantastic, maybe i can finish badlands now.

i sincerely hope so, as my PC has both a quad CPU and a 9800 GX2 SLI GPU.

me too

scan.co.uk is who i shop with. this game likes quads and ATI, so i would recommend Phenom II 955 4890 series GPU

fixing the badlands campaign where i am currently stuck would be nice. :)

yes, provided the boards bios is updated to support AM3 chips.

thirded. ps - BIS, you should take a look at how creative assembly do things with ETW patch status updates.

i killed him, conquered the four towns, rescued the village, but am stuck in limbo because the conquer territory objective is refusing to admit that all four towns are conquered.

four towns captured with CDF NAPA guy knocked off town defended from bandits still got the conquer the region mission to complete................ where does this end?

i have conquered all four towns with the CDF, i have knocked of the NAPA guy, and i have defended the town against the bandits..................... what is stopping the mission ending? the only thing i haven't done is play with my command vehicle, is this a problem?

can keypad "-" be remapped as i don't have a keyboard with a number pad? cheers

fantastic news, thank you.

delighted to read the june 29th post on the pukf site, stating that some Arma work will be ported to Arma2. :) thank you, thank you, thank you! Arma2 is truly genius, much better than the original Armed Assault, and has rekindled my love with the series, and as such also my desire to see your work converted for Arma2 play. thank you again.

it wouldn't, because the benchmark determines the view distance AFAIK.
