Would you mind looking into your render problems? Nice videos but it's a shame about the massive black box and stretched looks because the rendering is way off.

Wow, a brand new card on a new architecture with new die size that still isn't even publicly available is faster than a 580, which is over a YEAR OLD, build on the Fermi architecture from 2009 and has been sitting on the throne ever since is released. Damn, it's like AMD just pulled magic out of their ass. No, these benchmarks are not impressive by any means, they are what you'd come to expect. Comparing it to last generation's cards makes no sense either other than comparing the evolution in performance. It'll only be truly interesting when Nvidia gets Kepler out the door and the real head-on can begin. It certainly is not.

Man, I'm setting up tent down south *cough* Looking incredible!

Can't seem to find it but is 2.6 projected release this year or next year?

Yeah, same here. Really made some great changes to the core game. Last I heard, he was working a follow-up called "TriForce" but honestly, I think it's dead.

Yeah, I'd advise against using GL4 at this point, has really fallen behind with the lack of maintenance.

I'm sorry to keep on about this. Referring to this post in particular; http://forums.bistudio.com/showpost.php?p=2074183&postcount=3993 Leading up to that post, one guy made a post written in poor English concerning the release and suddenly, it sounds like 50 people just heckled you for a release-date. And then this post, which is just downright rude http://forums.bistudio.com/showpost.php?p=2074295&postcount=4014 considering one guy MIGHT have asked, until someone can decipher it. My point is, barely anyone is asking about release dates, so let's not make it sound like an actual problem. When someone ask, just tell them there's no release date yet or as you just said yourself LJ, the 24th - State it in the original post. Yes you guys may have some banter among yourself which none of us are a part of but stop belittling anyone or cry wolf when there is none. Also about the "misunderstanding humour" part, it's hard to convey humour online among several nationalities, especially when English isn't their strongest suit ( No offense to anyone, I'm not native either ) but it quickly comes across as rude or annoying. I'm sorry for the thread derailment but being courteous goes all the way round, no need to belittle people. We're all looking forward to your release and do appreciate the hard work.

What's funny is, nobody has begged for it in the last few pages. The guy just exploded randomly and now, all the glorious defenders make it sounds like it's an actual problem and anyone who dares ask is a complete pillock.

It's a public forum, get down from your high horse.

Then stop using the thread as some sort of twitter account with pictures of snow and tons of unrelated comments and then get upset because people actually want to get a hold of it. Stop making people who ask sound like some sort of bad guys. Don't put a thread in the Complete forum renamed to your upcoming version and then be puzzled why people keep asking.

I think you're confusing a consumer based beta test with in-house QA testing. They are on opposite ends of the spectrum.

Right ...

Would be a shame, then I couldn't get to test it before March 2012.

Give it a few months after release, and the game will be full of basic, current-age military hardware and personnel. Doubt everyone will just take the 'futuristic' thing and run with it.

Yeah, that got me a few weeks back, bit misleading.

Smash head on keyboard? Sounds fun ... bgyhvtn u67 That's what I got. LJ, free us from insanity :P

No Jar, no more videos, more releases :P

It's already out in RC, he can test there. Between RC and Release, I doubt they'll implement mod breaking stuff.

I have to agree with the others here LJ, you should focus on releasing it and then start wondering about all these engine limitations later. The delay thing has been a problem since forever and everyone should be used to it by now, so I doubt anyone will blame you for it. I know it's about striving for that perfection when you release something special but this is one of those things you can't iron out in a few days, unfortunately. So perhaps something to work out for J.S.R.S 1.5? :)

Hey After a few months break I finally return to ArmA 2 and I was ready to get stuck in right off the bat, guess not. I loaded up an old mission in Zarbabad and it was unplayable - A mission I've played several times on this setup with the exact same settings. It's like the game keeps turning down the LOD on EVERYTHING. My soldier looks like something from low settings, along with every other texture and trees / bushes turn into massive blops. Then all of a sudden, everything goes back to normal for a second and the game just freezes for that second, then back down to shoddy details and everything will also be flashing, like a constant flicker between lowest and medium details. Exact same rig, exact same specs as a few months ago and now I just can't play it. I did try a few weeks ago on the last set of WHQL drivers from Nvidia and the Beta patch at the time. Now I'm using the 1.60 RC and the latest Nvidia Beta drivers, exact same result. Did something happen in a patch somewhere I'm unaware of or did something else happen? Oh and I say Zargabad in the title, I suspect this might be happening in every situation with "lots going on", which has NEVER been a problem on this rig, 60FPS constantly! Zargabad is just a great test because it's so performance heavy.

Every other game is working fine, temps are fine and no, cooler isn't loose :)

It's definitely using RC. Then that might not have been what worked, could easily have been the defrag that put things in order, plus I'm now using FXAA where I was using regular AA before ( Was still using FXAA during this problem ) - That could also give me a nice performance boost. In any case, it's working and I'm hitting a solid 60FPS in Zargabad where it would fluctuate and even dip to 40 sometimes in the past. EDIT: Just booted up the game again, I was playing last night just before I went to bed and everything was perfect. Now it does it again, weird - I haven't changed a thing.

Ohh, it was the thermal I was missing - Thanks!

I've been on a 4 month ArmA 2 break and return to Javelins never locking on anything anymore - Did I miss something, is there an extra step in getting them to lock on? Can just be looking straight at tanks through the CLU and there's no sound, no nothing and after looking at them for a minute straight, I try to fire the missile, it just goes straight up and away.

Ran a quick defrag after applying the 1.60RC and added -malloc=tbb4malloc_bi to my launcher. It seems to be sorted now, runs even better than before :) Thank you so much Dwarden.
