The controls are fine for me except when I start being a pendulum of auto hover and swinging 150m from side to side. Another thing, surely you should be able to target tanks while hovering instead of having to move around just to keep the nose down. Ive seen footage of a chopper using the gun to kill soldiers while hovering but this doesnt seem possible in AA.

I land to try and rearm and the trucks get instructions to follow my copter, they wont refuel or re-arm. So far, there have been serious bugs in at least 1/3rd to 1/2 of the missions Ive encountered.

Theyve made the missions insanely stupid and unrealistic, yeah lets send a couple of humvees out to destroy a tank formation. All my own soldiers die almost instantly and they dont even kill many before that. So basically its you against everyone in just about every mission and they dont even give you the tools to do that, like no silenced weapon when you have to sneak into their compound. And to top it off, the ai are one shot wonders when they are literally a couple of pixels to me at 1280x1024. Theres no thought gone into these missions, they are worse than OF. I cant understand how a game can take so long yet it looks like so little thought has gone into it and its as buggy as hell.

I got one last week and it runs great, should give another couple of years of life to my system.

So why not have messages come up with whats going on and why does it list locked servers as available? Its insane that you have to join dozens of games in the hope of finding one that actually going. I had a look at the crash logs and it was to do with the latest ATI drivers although the card works with everything else.

I've tried to play about 40 times. 25 times I spawn as a seagull 3 CTDs. 1 time I could shoot but someone else was running for me. kicked immediately about 6 times. 5 times it got stuck on receiving. This is the buggiest piece of crap I've ever used. It makes EA games look playable. Demos are supposed to showcase the game. I'm glad I tried it because BI just saved me money for shelling out for this horrible game. My hope were so high after enjoying OFP so much.

That's one of securom's fantastic features, if you happen to run filemon you need to reboot to get any securom game working again I thought it might be that but its a but crap that you have to reboot, sure the fact that it isnt running should be enough for it. This is the kind of crap that drives people to cracked versions.

Ok, now I keep on spawning as a seagull http://img294.imageshack.us/my.php?image=seagullnq9.jpg

Brilliant, now I get this. A required security module cannot be activated. This program cannot be executed (5016). Please have a look at http://www.securom.com/message.asp?m=module&c=5016 for further, more detailed information. on a frigging demo, I ran filemon 2 hours ago to see what was thrashing my disk, its not running now.

I run peer guardian to block government and military ips and it blocked gamespy so that's why it wouldn't connect for me. Others could check to see if its happening to them too.

So is SIgames and they constantly reply to problems, they even sent me an updated patch exe with an older copy protection because the updated safedisc exe wouldn't work for me. EAs support in unforgivable though, Id never buy a game off them especially and problems are often left in the games for several years without being fixed.

Well I fixed my problem Download the latest openAL from here http://files.filefront.com/OpenAL_Driver_v199/;6352667;;/fileinfo.html Now I can get into the game but dont see any games online, even with my firewall turned off.

Im having the problems just like some others. I will get a box with some ticks and then it will crash. ===================================================================== == D:\ArmA Demo\ArmADemo.exe ===================================================================== Exe version: Fri Dec 22 06:53:09 2006 Cannot register unknown string STR_MSG_RESTART_NEEDED ======================================================= Date: 12/22/06 Time: 13:25:24 ------------------------------------------------------- Exception code: C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 004DE230 Version 1.03.5109 Fault address: 004DE230 01:000DD230 D:\ArmA Demo\ArmADemo.exe file: world: SaraLite Prev. code bytes: 8D 44 01 01 89 85 14 FF FF FF 8B 85 14 FF FF FF Fault code bytes: 0F BE 00 85 C0 0F 84 05 04 00 00 FF B5 14 FF FF Registers: EAX:00000000 EBX:00000000 ECX:01ECDAF0 EDX:01ECDAFC ESI:00BEB215 EDI:01ECDD8C CS:EIP:001B:004DE230 SS:ESP:0023:01ECD8A8 EBP:01ECDB64 DS:0023 ES:0023 FS:003B GS:0000 Flags:00010246 ======================================================= note: Minidump has been generated into the file C:\Documents and Settings\*****\Local Settings\Application Data\ArmA Demo\ArmADemo.mdmp ATi Radeon x1950 pro 512mb P4 2.4@ 2.64GHz 1 Gig DDR RAM Asus P4P800 motherboard Soundbalster Live Direct X and all the drivers are up to date.
