SP game still suffers from........ a large pause and stutter during gameplay.
-
Importing's out of the question I take it? I did that with Arma 2, and will probably have to do it with OA unless I want to wait a few months for it to get here... Not.I bought the German download version of ArmA II (morphicon or whatever its called) then bought the DVD version when it finally came to our shores. This time I am not paying twice so will probably wait now tbh for a DVD version to appear in a shop somewhere...
-
All UK sites don't want to sell it I guess, oh well, shall have to get a copy online then but would have preferred a proper box copy.
-
This has serious stutters when using SP scenarios, massive pauses etc. When using it without it runs fine.
-
5850 works fine here, you CPU is better so should get better performance than me I would say.
-
Indeed - This will give you the explanation Michael.

Latest patch means you don't need the disk in the drive so why not just store your disk in a safe place ?

I have experienced that flashing cockpit in air vehicles since very first version of ArmA 2.Me too, I thought I had just got shot down as the transition between good and damaged is not the smoothest but not its a sort of flash and everything is fine. It did appear to happen when light was changing i.e. flying towards sun then turning.

click zoom, click zoom some more, click zoom some more etc. I guess.

Mmmh, does NOT start for me :"Error compiling pixel shader PSSpecularAlpha:0"
Any idea ?
Thanks
Delete the beta folder and reinstall the beta.

Don't worry they have solved the vegetation issue, well not really solved but bypassed, expansion is set in the desert ;@) lol

As Suma said, PC dev is nightmare and with such a complex engine then getting a single test for all may not be possible which is why I suggested sticking to the benchmark tests initially which uses a lot of objects and effects to see if there are any problems.
Unless stated otherwise then looking for the extra FPS anywhere could well be a placebo effect but odder things have happened when bug fixing.
...also this is just a beta so really all that shouuld be possted here are the hard facts i.e. issues with terrain, sound, AI or whatever, you could possibly then post benchmark 1 = +10 fps increase in the test after running it 3 times or -5 fps hit on 2 benchmark.
What also would be useful is those systems specs and settings are posted, I mean, we all must have different settings and if someone using the lowest possible VD, terrain, no shadows etc. is getting a 10 fps increase then that mean nothing to me when I am using all high settings with VD of 3k etc. Dwarden also mention posting your driver version and OS version, which too could be useful to recreate the issue or at least bug fix the beta.

Just remove the grass and everything is fine, to be honest BIS should force the grass off for everyone. The grass is evil and makes NOBODY happy! Anyway good job BIS for fixing the bug
You speak for yourself please with the grass comment.
-
To get rid of dissapearing textures just go to your distance slider and move it up then down back to your normal position. Should then all be good.
Edit: Sorry thats a lie, 3000 seems to be the sweet spot so I don't get the missing textures, anything below then areas or blocks go missing. Playble though.
-
Can I suggest just running vanilla and the benchmarks included in the last official patch. Running it with other mods / clutter removal / loads of tweaks is just not the best test as it could be anything.
-
Not sure that will entice folk who have been put off, yes its a nice addition but people are not staying away due to lack of automated map placement tools...
-
I just did a quick test, seems to work fine here. Maybe some shortcut problem?(I just added the server in YAS, clicked add modset, clicked guess modstring and was ready to go)
They do have some other islands etc loaded i think.
Thanks for doing that, yup it was me messing the shortcut up, seems though I had all the ACE components less the ACEX_PLA in the shortcut, used your great tool and did the same by clicking guess modstring and saw the difference immediately. Not had the issue before on that server so they may have just added the PLA part which is why I didn't have it there b4.
Happy again. :)
Cheers,
-
Do you have ACEX_PLA ?Xeno
I do yes. I joined RIP server and it said missing ACEX PLA MAIN... I always keep it up to date using KH server.
-
The mod keep expanding, just joined a server asking for PLA_MAIN now... thought I had all the ACE stuff, must I keep checking in to see what has been split ?
-
There is a whole sticky topic about pc specs and what A2 will run on. Works 'ok' on my system but not great fyi.
-
Note that although in grass, using silenced weapon, many meters away from nme, prone, not breathing etc., if you fire a single round at an nme vehicle they will know where you are instantly just like in r/l.
I like the effect of hiding you at a distance by concealing you in the landscape to save the grass renders at distance but I feel this is only of use to PvP or the AI.
-
Well its not really a campaign more of an extended mission, it worked for me, completed in about an hour all the way to the end.
-
Don't try and run it with the mods ?

Got from Play.com here too, £16.99 + free deilvery, the only problem is Play have never delivered anything to me in the time I expected or they said... Oh well, we shall see if they break a habit of a lifetime.
