The patch has been functional for two months now.... will it ever be released to the hungry public?

Any ETA on that patch? Is the problem model or config related? If it's config, I could make a temporary hotfix myself... if it's model, I'd rather wait for the patch.

Offtopic - Listen, if you don't know what a pikey is, then you need to go and rent the movie Snatch right the hell now because it's one of the greatest ever made. Ontopic - This is a great idea. I especially loved "You're having a giraffe!" as I've never heard that before. (I'm an american.) And we Americans don't have any funny sayings because we're too busy tearing English a new asshole with text messaging =P

Good lord... I enjoy my sarcastic remarks as much as the next guy, but the man's just asking a question. No need to chase him away from the boards. Seems like I've seen a lot of 'holier-than-thou' posts in response to new questions lately. My personal favorite news and addon site is ofp.info aka gamepark.cz, as mentioned above.

No need for the sarcasm, sickboy. But yeah... mp_phonix try and read the whole thread before you post because that's what the past 5-7 pages are about more or less. *Edit - Lol my 100th post in 2 years... and the guy above me has 56 in a month.

I've been searching the troubleshoot forum the last couple of days because I've seen similar problems in posts, but what I've tried hasn't done anything to fix the problem. The problem is that every few seconds I get a graphics hangup, and then it continues. Aside from the hangup, the FPS are fairly normal, although a bit lower than what I'd expect out my system, which I'll list below. 2.6 gHz P4 w/ HT MSI Radeon 9800 XT 128MB 1024 Mb DDR 400 (crucial) Asus P4P800E Deluxe Yes, I am using addons, and DXDLL... but the problem will occur with very few units. I made sure to disable my antivirus scanner, as suggested, and also downloaded the latest ATI Omega drivers, but neither seemed to have much effect on anything. The troubleshoot FAQ said something about 'alternate buffering method' but I think it referred to NVidia cards only. I also opened up my case and made sure there wasn't any major dust buildup or excessive heat. Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Terrain is at 1024x1024 and distance is 1000m. After I did the changes mentioned above, along with a defrag and a program purge that rivals Stalin, OFP now its running much more smoothly on the original islands, even after I switched to upgraded terrain and trees (Berghoff) and turned on DXDLL and it still was fine.... but it's still really bad for Anjou 3.0, which is a bummer because I think it's the best addon island yet, but as the mods would say, this forum is only for 'vanilla' OFP, which is now working properly. And Anjou does indeed have a train addon, Cameron, is there something particularly nefarious about trains I should know?

If everything is working, are you releasing a patch soon? Because honestly, I don't know what else you guys could be trying to fix or improve.... the addon is excellent, aside from the tank drivers having ADD

*UPDATE* OK - so I opened up my computer and took out my soundblaster and withdrew my hand quickly because of the excruciating pain caused from brushing against my Radeon heatsink. Now, that is probably not good, I say to myself. Sure enough, started up the computer and the graphics card fan is not spinning. I think I've located my problem. *UPDATE 2* Got the fan spinning again, dust had clogged it up. Also left the case open and have a box fan blowing at it, just to be safe. Must to my dismay, the graphics card heat was not the problem. Next I lowered my texture resolutions (they were at 2048) and made sure that my refresh was set at what my monitor was (it was set higher) and surprisingly, neither of these worked either. When I saw the refresh difference I was pretty sure that was the problem, but it turns out I was wrong. I also looked at some ATI settings - wait for vertical sync, antialiasing and antistropic filtering are all off/application preference. I'm really stumped here. Might I ad, because this is probably important. I uninstalled OFP last summer. It ran superbly, and I used the y2k3 mod. my computer hardware has not changed since. (aside from the soundblaster, which I have removed and uninstalled to no effect) I felt the OFP need recently and reinstalled - and here's the first difference, I installed GOTY this time, whereas last time I had original + resistance. That could be the problem. The other thing that has changed since then is my ATI drivers. Omega's, as I mentioned, haven't done anything. Should I search for an old ATI driver and try that? Or is something wrong with my GOTY perhaps?

Yes - soundblaster live. And now that you mention it, horrible horrible memories of flashpoint past are coming back to haunt me. As in just taking the damn thing out of my old machine and using motherboard sound. Maybe I'll give that a shot.

Not sure why this topic stopped so suddenly but - To the people who blame lag on old comps, based on flying around in one helicopter? Well, I best just not say anything, or else Placebo will pay me a visit. I have 1gig ddr ram, a radeon 9800 XT, one generation behind, sure, but the best of said generation. It certainly isn't obsolete. I am experiencing pretty horrible lag any time I try to do a cutscene - one cutscene only has 5 soldiers, a UAZ, a helo, a plane, and an APC, and it gets horrible FPS. The odd thing is that during the actual mission it isn't very bad at all.

I am curious. Could a modern RPG (16?) actually damage a Bradley, and likewise, a LAW to a BMP? I think the damage inflicted in flashpoint is a bit ridiculous, although by now I'm so used to it that I'm not sure if I could get used to a more realistic system.

I made some changes to the main config file, but now I can't compress it back into a bin file. I can't get binarize to work, and when I use amalfi's cpp>bin 1.2 utility, it chokes on the big numbers in the config (at least, that's what appears to be happening) IE the 429496XXXX numbers...and creates errors. What am I doing wrong, or is there another utility I can use? Thanks in advance

Allow me to dissect your own statement for you. Celebration Holy War against Americans Now, I put two and two together, and decided that you're pissin' me off. - (Carl, ATHF) Seriously though, if you have some other ambiguous meaning behind your statement, please explain yourself. Well that'd be awfully civilized of you, now wouldn't it. Good to see such maturity on these boards.

Edit - My comments served no purpose for this thread and would have been better suited to a private message.

Another comedian's comment on the president that I found amusing. Lewis Black is the greatest.

Well Billybob, cultural differences don't allow Americans to see the joy in burning and mutilating non-combatents. Hold up there, bn880. Immoral? Most of my government, and probably most of the Coalition's troops, seriously thought they were fighting for liberation, freedom, democracy, etc.. Good values, not immoral values. The war was almost completely unjustified, sure. The involved governments were misguided, true. It was conducted entirely wrong, and if we stayed in accordance with the UN, it wouldn't have been conducted at all. All that is true, yet it is not immoral. In the same way, the insurgents/terrorists think they are fighting for a moral cause. They're as misguided as we were. Immoral is taking a hostage and beheading him. Immoral is mutilating and killing civilians. And just to keep things even, immoral is abusing prisoners. Aside from the soldiers at the prison, the coalition fought honorably for what they truly believed were good values. I don't see how you can say that is immoral. I hate to be a cynic, but I think he'll be lucky if he lasts the rest of the year.

You know you're going to lose when Will Ferrell is against you.

Lol Albert Yeah, and we're all moving to, uh, Sweden! So make room, damnit!

That show said that if Yellowstone goes.... pretty much all of North America would go with it. Four inches of ash on the east coast! Agriculture would be completely shot. Keep in mind, though, that 'imminent' in geological terms means within the next 150,000 years.

This gun looks like an airsofter went nuts with different modding kits. What with the long scope, the M-249ish heat guard, and the funny barrel, combined with the rest of the M-16 look.... it's a mutant rifle. I really think it's no contest for the XM-8, in the military's eyes. They seem to be ready so start aquiring it en mass.

Show me a solid article that this actually happened. There were many more reports saying that there wasn't a wedding at all, and that the explosion was caused by an insurgent IED.

Not possible.

You have got to be kidding me. Jinef, do you know any US Pilots? I would guess that you do not. All pilots have a superiority complex; I doubt you would find such a candyass in the RAF. I have never seen a constructive post out of you. Lately they have all been about how much joy Americans get out of killing people. Your biased, ridiculous opinions do nothing except fan flames. Ugh...I'm going to need a lot more glass.
