Just had alook at some vbs videos and I was wondering just how differnt Arma is to VBS2, I realise that VBS2 will have a lot of extra content but on a basic level is'nt one just a cutdown version of the other. Also wouln't it be cool if some of the vehicles etc were added into Arma?.

After installing 1.05 i,ve experienced texture loss and massive slow down compared to 1.04, Maybe this is a Intel/Nvidia problem. The really weird thing is that the Convoy ambush mission works perfectly with no problems??.

I've had a good few hours on Ar Aslt today, first really good session after installing the patch, noticed lots of bugs that were'nt there in 1.04, I now get missing textures as mentiond in preivious threads these then suddenly appear, also it happens more in MP to the piont of it becoming unplayable, also performance seems to be worse i lowered my settings so every thing was around normal View Dist of 3918, performance seemed to be worse so I put every thing back to the settings I had before(Quality pref-Very High /Visibility-3918 / Res 1280x1024 @ 75hz / Terrain detail-Very High / Objects Detail-Very High / Texture Detail-Very High / Shading Detail- Very High / Postprocess Effects-High / AS-Very High / Shadow Detail-High / AA-High / Blood-High.)The game is playable but not as well as it was pre 1.05. This game has some real issues that need addressing fast, the most important of these being ( IMO) the performance/graphical issues, The graphics are good but not cutting edge, therfore should not stress todays hardware.

Installed patch last night, finally able to get onto MP as 1.04 would not let me connect, the game would just hang. Performace seems to be about the same as before on single player. MP is ok at times, often getting missing textures and it seems very laggy (idon't know if this a common problem, Â i have an 8Meg connection and my ping is never higher than 45).Other than that I am happy with the patch-roll on to the next one.

You just can't have antialiasing and HDR at the same time with older graphics cards. As far as I understand, it's a hardware limitation. It depends on the game engine, it was achieved in HL2 on Nvidia and Ati cards. HDR seems to be working ok with my 7800gs+ with AA enabled.

This is my first post, so hello everyone. I got my copy last Sunday, installed ok, took a while to configure etc. Expected it to run like a bag of nails especially as my system is agp etc but seems to run ok, I have the setiings set as follows:- Quality pref-Very High /Visibility-4128 / Res 1280x1024 @ 75hz / Terrain detail-Normal / Objects Detail-Very High / Texture Detail-Very High / Shading Detail- Very High / Postprocess Effects-High / AS-Very High / Shadow Detail-High / AA-High / Blood-High. I don't Know what fps this is running at, but it is perfectly playable. I have only done the training missions so far but it was smooth even when flying (only the occasional V-brief pause). Is there a built in function to show the fps?. ___ 875 PBZ mthbrd/3.4 Prsctt (XP90+92mm Ystech fan)/Enermax 600w PSU/7800gs+/2GB Hyperx 400DDR (dual config)/2 x WD raptor 74GB (raid 0)/X-FI Fatality/G500 PRO Gamer spkrs/Saitek Eclipse Illuminated keyboard/Razer Copperhead mouse/Vx922 monitor
