Purchase: ArmA - Combat Operations. From Steam. Problem: When the game is selected from Steam and launched, the program says: His PC Specs: PC Specs: Radeon HD 4870. Windows XP Professional. 2GB Ram His Video Card Version: ATI Catalyst Display Driver: 9.2 The game does not launch, the game shows the few box'es with a few check marks. A second or so later, the error shows up. We cannot get further than this. If you could point us in the right direction we would really appreciate it. We have also followed the Wiki and followed changing each one of these steps:

Good to know. Will try to work around steam. Will report back.

I can't wait to see what happens when AI are under sniper fire and they don't know the direction its coming from. I wonder if they'll just lay down right where they are and take it in the arse

Question: Are those primarily coming out in stereo or was the source of the audio taken with the chopper infront of it? I'm like walking around my living room and I'm hearing the blades but they're like 70% quieter than I would expect. The front sounds nice and loud. edit: Probably my bad. I just switched my surround settings instead of 50% front and 50% surround to just 100% surround and it works fine now.

Very nice video. My only gripes: 1. Those imported Arma aircraft hangers & vehicles give me shivers. Pllllease make a new aircraft hanger. Every time I'll land a jet in ArmaII I'll think of Arma1. At least change the color, or something... 2. The Circular fireballs in the center of destroyed vehicles... looks amazingly unrealistic and simply kills immersion. Smaller fireballs in numerous parts of the vehicle would be perfect. Equalizing performance usage while increasing immersion and realism. The little things: -Parashoot clipping. -Constant right/left turning down a hill by AI with tank, causing it to slide as if it were a skier going down a mountain side sideways. -The sprint camera could be toned down. Like the idea.

AI gameplay would satisfy most of us, bust to most new players who aren't firmilar to OFP/Arma, will immediately be turned off by the slightest abnormality. So it probably is a net-negative to show any AI gameplay - even at the expense of the loyal forum community.

because that stuff has been set in stone for months now. It's the core gameplay, if they didn't chnage it at the start of development then they're not going to change it full stop. at least little additions like what we suggested have a feasible chance of being included. I guess that would depend wouldn't it? What if the release was 6 months from now in September? They'd have some time to add some pretty hefty features into the games mechanics between now and then. Especially in terms of Physics & AI.

Heh yea and having a laptop showing a live cam of a UAV's POV would be nice too. There was an OFP addon that had this, quite awesome. If thats in the game I don't see why radar shouldn't be.

Yeah, that was a great song. I love this one too. Question in regards to the sound here. Perhaps its just me but, a lot of the weapon firing (including the tanks) outright kill the immersion. A tank round should really scare the hell out of you or at least give a big "bang!", realistic or not.. Take this for example: Arma Tank Sound: The trailer (at 2:08) RL Sound: or this . I know these are not shot in sound proof rooms but from the faction videos they've been putting out I just don't get that "I'm scared" vibe coming from them. I mean even in non mil sim games they can pull it off pretty well. At this point I'm more scared of some Call of Duty tank shooting at me in the dark than what they're using from Arma1. Hopefully they can at least add some heavy bass to the shots being shot off and the rounds hitting the ground. That'll get you moving!

Kewl!

Dude, this is like - made from 8 people - whoaz! Cool

This game is taking all my time away! I work at 8:00am on the weekdays and when I got the game Saturday night, instead of going to sleep @ 12am when I usually do - I stayed awake until 7:00am.. so yea, I've screwed up my sleep schedule and I'm an addictive drug addict. So come Monday, I'm going to be a complete mess. Then again, I've always loved total war games.. I shoulda known this was going to happen. Â The naval war aspect makes this that much more exciting. Not just the battles but it emphasizes on how much you need them to protect trade routes and possible points of insertion from enemy troop landing parties. As for the (extremely awesome) ship battles, I just can't get a grip on how the hell it works. I know how wind/sails/cannot shot ammo work... but I can never really seem to get a hold on wtf is going on. You can select a unit and simply tell it to attack another vessel but I always disagree with the tactics the game uses heh! Maybe thats my problem - I might learn something. I loveee this game. The performance requirements are notibly higher than previous titles. Running "recommended" settings with a 8800gtx/4gbRam/q6660 drops to 9 fps when putting the camera eye level with a 70% maxed out army (IE: 700vs700). Otherwise the performance at that point is solid. I haven't done anything with lower graphic settings for optimization however.

Sorta. The hinds look very well put together. I would like to see what UH60's (etc) look like when they're grounded too. ------- On a seperate note: I too agree. I am amazed with the graphics, but I think everyones focusing a little too much on that rather than the more important stuff.

Yes. Yes yes. yep Nope. Its kinda sad that we are already saying that months before its release.. I don't even know how to put it into words. The main issue here is the weapon/rocket & explosion sounds that we've heard in these videos has been dull and an immersion killer. Or even straight up copy/pasted from Arma1 giving off the feeling of an expansion pack. Even if they keep the sounds and its extremely easy to change - for those who aren't keen to go looking online to download new sounds will have to just deal with what they are given, and I'm sure BI wants them to have a(n), immersive, satisfying experience.. and I'm sure they'll be giving it another look anyways. Listen to some of the stuff they've put out already, that UH-1Y sounds awesome - so does the tanks, jets, and everything else! The rockets, weapons, explosions will probably be all fantastically realistic as well too once they have time to get to it, unless they feel that they are adequate as they currently are that is. On a different note: The chopper blades g-c was talking about: ======================== I hadn't seen this. Thats amazing!

Do Russian troops REALLY have bowl shaped elongated oval helmets? Just wondering. They look like condom hats.

Man using the OFP music just keeps bringing back memories... Â Damnit BI lol! I love this stuff. I'm so excited that the teams are semi balanced out, while the US may still have a pretty good lead - Russia still has a decent shot. I agree with this 1100%. All the other videos show these as well.

Elevator music ftw if your gunna have elevators. A sidenote: I put all of the Arma2 Videos and Pictures from Arma2's website to Gamespot.com while the official ones have yet to be uploaded. While the videos on the site remain "user videos" they still show up under "videos". If Gamespot won't do it, at least people will have something to see when they go there and not just an empty page. Gamespot

Thats like saying there'll be another patch to OFP.

Did they ever get those elevators to work in Arma1? I don't remember seeing those. (I've never touched single player after that first campaign mission since 1.0).

Wow... this is totally the same as S:HoWW2. Slightly different, but I'll stay out this time.

Doing my Chemistry I hate college... at least I'm there 12+ hours a day. So I can keep the heat and most of the electric off most of the time at my house, everythings pretty cheap otherwise.

These forums got a bunch of parameters and rules that most forums don't usually follow. If you notice from one of the current threads from the front page simply asking about a demo - that got locked in a heartbeat by our beloved Placebo (who carrys the locks around here). All I can say (from experience) is that this thread will be locked in due time, once one of the moderators see this thread. It's been a few hundred years since I've read the forum rules but I've got a good idea on what they are, but it might be worth it to take a look. Some of those rules might not be so obvious. As in, "introductory threads" aren't permitted etc. To your question. It can easily be answered by doing a quick search. Go to the Official website: www.arma2.com To be determined. Unknown. 2009.

I'm on crack. This is what I was thinking.

I forgot my keys.

Damn. 1:19
