hmmm, odd, any other responses people?

Hi all, I have A2 working flawlessly. I installed OA (using the check-disk option rather than online authentication), and for some stupid reason it just sits on the BIS splashscreen forever when i start the game up using the desktop icon. If i start the game by closing the Blu-ray drive and using the Auto-run the game starts fine. Why is OA acting like this? Regards R p.s. not happy about this online authentication business, so I seriously hope you continue to provide a patch that removes the disk-check six months down the line.

cheers guys

JFYI: i tried running at 150% and 200% as suggested, and turned the settings down to High from Very-High, the game was quite smooth at 150% (subjective) at 150% and only slightly choppy at 200% (subjective). I might be able to get away with it.............

when i installed OA it told me that the Arma2 install (with 1.07) was newer. what does that mean? does it mean that there is no need to install the 1.52 patch?

cheers, yes, i am planning to get the HP ZR24w if the performance is good enough.

i'll give it a shot, thanks.

hmm, interesting, cheers. and from this i will be able to genuinely discover whether one card can drive three monitors..........?

sadly, getting a second card is out of the question as the VaporX cooler is so big that a second card suffocates the first given that there is only one slot between the two 16x slots on my 890FX board. tell me more about this 150% and 200% resolution thingy, how do you run the resolution at more than the available monitor resolution? cheers both.

Hi all, This is an Eyefinity question, i have a 2GB AMD 5870 card and two 24" monitors, and i understand that Arma2/OA code is better performing these days, would the performance be good enough for me to consider getting a third monitor for Eyefinity gaming?

congrats P:UKF

give it to me on a disk, and i'll buy it. i like the fact my game is not account dependent, i wouldn't want to change that just to get some DLC.

are there no horrible registry entries? if it really is as easy as cut-n-pasting the install folder then creating a new shortcut i will be delighted.........

cheers for the info.

will this be corrected for the final patch? as a user of a six-core AMD chip I would like Arma2 to use all those cores if possible.

cheers guys, any news on dx11?

OA is supposed to have what BIS term a third generation rendering engine, does this imply that it is substantially different from the Arma2 engine, and would this new engine have a DX11 renderer?

thank you very much, delighted to hear the good news. regards :)

Hey fella's, I'm in the process of buying a new PC, and I am interested in running eyefinity............... provided it just works . I have read about Arma 2 having problems with resolutions bigger than 4096x4096. I have read about Arma 2 needing config adjustments in game to run eyefinity setups. None of which is any good, if it requires 5% of extra effort I simply won't play it (just like 90% of the rest of humanity), which would make eyefinity an expensive waste. However, i have read these things elsewhere, so i want to know what you guys have to say................. Can i buy a brace of 5870 cards, hook them up to three 1680x1050 screens, start up Arma 2, select 5040x1050, and forever after have hassle free eyefinity fun in Arma 2? cheers

I have been playing these games since the original Flashpoint demo got released, but thanks for the advice. I don't mind editing a config once, but juggling configs every time you start the game is unacceptable, for the same reason i haven't played Arma in five months because of a show-stopper in the badlands mission, it sucks the fun out of my leisure time. In the hope the the 1.6 patch fixes my badlands problem, i am also curious to find out how well eyefinity works in Arma 2. Now, is this a one-time thing or an everytime juggling act? Regards

cheers for the reply. by "fine" i take it to mean that silly in-game config adjustments are not needed, and it really does just work ? :)
