Works fine. Like I said its the EXACT same error that people used to get with 4GB, so I don't think it should be classified as some other problem, and like I said it goes away with 4096MB now. Maybe its a brand thing with different RAM? Its Kingston Hyper X if that matters, 4 x 2GB. No its not a brand issue with different RAM, I have the same thing. Vista Ultimate x64 Sp1 8GBs of RAM (OCZ XTC), 4870X2 and I have to play in windowed mode. Attempting to go fullscreen it takes forever to load a starting screen and then the screen is almost black and white missing textrures, stuttering and a diashow. Maybe the 4gb ram issue was fixed but not the 8gb. Other games (The Witcher, Dead Space, Max Payne and pr0n games) work just fine. Same issue here but you can answer "Yes/No" and just continue with the installation. Â

Splendid work FDF team!

Maybe a possibility to start with a custom *.exe? I had to rename my arma.exe to fear.exe because of Ati 4870x2 and crossfire profiles. Thanks.

Here are some bugs to report. All captures are from xr-server: AI Dudes sunk in ground or just standing doing nothing. You can't even kill them: Script error: Second script error: 100 supplytrucks (or more). Got this when AI comm was selected after human comm disconnected. They are east but without drivers: Benny and Revellion, you are doing great work with Warfare RBTI! Warfare community is eagerly waiting for working and balanced RBT 3-way! Thanks for your hard work.

Noooo! Wait! Hold your horses! Why get 6 when there will be 8? Nehalem will launch with an eight core product in 2008, however each core will have two threads, making a total of 16 threads on a single CPU package. http://www.bit-tech.net/news/2007/09/18/otellini_unveils_nehalem/1 Core#1: Physics Core#2: Weather, night/day effects Core#3: Res/Civ AI Core#4: West AI Core#5: East AI Core#6: Sounds to SPU Core#7: Graphics to GPU Core#8: Damn, hmm...Other misc crap!

the best OFP nuke addon in my opinion was DSF nuke addon: http://operationflashpoint.filefront.com/file....ownload And here brief look at Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6p6o0eiZ02Y It had those floating radioactive clouds

You can't get Intel X25-E now can you? In the future...

Both are important, but reading rate is what matters. SSD is still too slow but its totally quiet to operate. Only reason to buy one.

Fastest SSD drive at the moment is OCZ SSD Core 2. Capacities of 32GB and 64GB and premier speeds of 100MB/s read and 80MB/s write. So its not that fast...almost the same as running Raptors on RAID-0. Stuttering will be there.

As virtual RAM drive needs loads of ram i wouldn't run it with less than 8GB of a system memory. Using that much of a memory you will get the famous "8GB=Only windowed Arma" bug. There was some topic on this forums about it. Im not sure if its on Nvidia cards also... But I'm sure its on Ati cards if you have more than 3GB of RAM. Here is the topic: http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin....6;st=15

Yeah, Buy Nvidia card... About the bug: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki...._screen Whats so bad about windowed mode? I have dual displays and both of them are on 1600*1200 resolution. I put this -window -x=1600 -y=1200 on Arma shortcut and i'm playing with 1600*1200 resolution. No probs there...

Here is couple of Ramdrive programs you can try them first: http://www.farstone.com/software/virtual-hard-drive.htm (has 30 days trial and its quite cheap) Im using Superspeed Ramdisk 9.0 Software http://www.superspeed.com/download/trialversions.php (has trial version too but full version is expensive) Ofcourse you will need OS that supports more than 3GB of memory. Vista x64 is sufficient. If you are using more than 3GB of ram and your GPU is Ati branded then you must play the game on windowed mode. All necesseary folders and files for Arma to work on a Ramdrive are (4,5GB): With RamDrive size of 5GB, you have 500MB of free space for MODs. And it's possible to increase the drive size by one gig. Ramdrive works just like HDD. You install full game first on real HDD and then copy only relevant files/folders on a Ramdrive. Only one installation of the full game is needed. The you make shortcut on yor desktop pointing to your Arma on Virtual Drive with all needed shotcut parameters: mods,nosplash etc. And then you start the game and go shoot those laggers on MP Â Â

oblisk Use official Catalyst 8.8 drivers Rename arma.exe to fear.exe Put shadow level to low or normal Enable Catalyst AI No matter what your other ingame settings are you should be getting decent framerates. If it doesn't you have some driver or hardware conflict. I did not get your other hardware? If you have more than 2GBs of system memory, you have to play Arma in Windowed mode not Fullscreen. Did you try with sounds disabled? Test with other programs like Furmark, 3dmark06, Vantage. Use fraps to see your framerates. 20-40fps in Arma is normal. At first i got shitty performance and BSODs because of incompatible mobo. I had to change that and now it works better than ever. Not perfect...but better

Could you tell us more about this?Maybe i'm hopeless because my arma is about 11gb now,and of course groving yet then good enough addon's are released. There are plenty of Ramdrive programs on the net. You need plenty of DDR RAM for a starter. I got 8GB. Ramdrive will use DDR2 memory as virtual HDD. My Arma folder is 4,9GB in size so my RamDrive is 5GB and 3GB is free for the system to use. I deleted all unnecessary folders like Campaign, missions, MPmissions. I have 2 addons which i use in MP games:fdfsounds and armaeffects. They fit fine in Ramdrive. Two raptors in RAID-0 has reading/writing rate of 100-130MB/s. Ramdrive has unbeatable reading rate of 3,0GBs (depends how fast memory you got). Access times are lowered significally. I tested that all with Sandra. I wish i had 16GBs of DDR3. Then i could put my pagefile on Ramdrive too. Â Some specs on below:

For me enabling AI Cat just made poor framerates. I never got it working with renaming to fear.exe. It worked for 10 sec and then i got repeating white flashing. But hey, go ahead maybe it works for you...

Arma works better on 3870x2 if Catalyst AI is disabled. But you could reinstall Arma, graphics drivers and ccc. Delete your Arma Profiles folder too... after that try again.

My previous card was a 3870x2, but it gave me stuttering and sometimes sub 20 fps at 1600x1200. So i bought the 4870x2... But it had some complications with my old P5W DH motherboard. I dunno why, maybe it was PCIE 1.0 while card had PCIE 2.0 or something else. Arma froze, as did 3dmark06. Furmark and 3dmark Vantage worked just fine. My next board was Maximus Formula II. 4870x2 and Arma works great. I can up AA, AF and viewdistance with no visible performance hit. Only setting that brings this card on its knees is the Arma Shadows on High or Very High. You just can't get stable 60fps. It usually sets around 30-55fps. Arma is just coded this way. In CCC Enable Catalyst AI - it will enable second GPU too. Select Anti-Aliasing Filter to Box (Edge Detect gives you 10fps less). Disable Adaptive Anti-Aliasing. It will eat your FPS if you are crawling through bushes/trees/grass! In Arma you can crank everything up but Shadows but don't select better than normal level Shadows. What helped on stuttering issue was putting Arma on 5GB RamDrive. No more low FPS caused by texture loading...

A Unit cam would be nice. But it should be implemented in such way that you cant see too much... In MFCTI I also liked about the aircraft radar and commander ability to purchase troops for the AI. Maybe we will see them in the future versions of the Warfare... Â

Works fine here: no texture error CTD while opening the Build Menu. Im ATI HD 3870x2 user. Â

Been playing this hours and hours. How about increasing player group size... More AIs to slaughter! Add full ai squad to the commander... Add to the commander possibility to buy units for team members. Add boat factories. Small boat cruising on sunny afternoon behind enemy lines is a very pleasant experience. Give each player a possibility to increase/decrease his viewdistance between 500-3000 meters. Remove any helicopter view blocking... or add it as enemy ECM upgrade around their base and possibility to enable/disable it by commander. Add markers for all units, even player AI squads. You could see from the map where to concentrate your ais. Tall MG/AGS towers would be nice

21. When running out of funds give us possibility to use corpses as cheap alternative for sandbags. Picture from XR server yesterday: east 2000 KIA and west 4000

My arma rig was x6800 a 3.8ghz, 3-3-3-9 DDR2 and x1950xtx but I bought ATI 3870x2 to boost performance. I installed Vista x64 Ultimate too. Remember to enable CatalystAI "Standard". If you disable it you will get less than 15fps. Im not happy but its enough...With this settings i get 35-60fps.

Use bat file created by CWR install. Its in Arma folder: beta\arma.exe -mod=beta;cwr -nosplash -world=abel

Your LCD monitor has higher resolution than CRT. Lower resolution and you can alt-tab normally or buy better GPU.
