I think what he is saying is... Operation Flash Point 2 will become a more enjoyable game. I have heard from various forums too that the professionalism and attention to that particular companies involvement with ironing out bugs is important to them. I'm not saying Bohemia doesn't... but thats what I think the thread starter is meaning?

Thought it wouldn't be too long before another problem cropped up from the countless amount that already exist. Night-vision... why does it fade in and out when in use, is this meant to happen? If not why are the Bohemia game developers releasing stuff that doesn't work - do they BETA test or are we the BETA testers for what they call a a final release?

This issue occurs when you parachute over land were there is a hill, but sometimes on flat ground too. All hear on the Aussie servers is "Damn chute bug", it's happens a lot, 3 times to me in the space of 20mins.

In all seriousness I'd wait for a new patch, the game is clearly rooted and needs urgent attention, perhaps a new batch of programmers that know what they are doing and I say that all all fairness, all I've seen since the release of this game is bugs, bugs and a patch that has introduced more bugs - thats definitely not a healthy game! If other game companies can get it right, why cant this mob? I may be wrong and the game might be fixed with all the unplayable issues resolved in the new patch that currently has no ETA

I got the same problem with my x1950 though. I'd put it down to the bad coding in the game. Arma was clearly not ready for release and is still in that boat with the massive dish of bugs and glitches; it's clearly a BETA product - which I might add is a real shame since it has so much potential. Todays hardware struggles with the issues you have or the game crashes with memory surface errors. Fingers crossed for the next patch of fixes and new bugs

Is there any idea whether Bohemia have even accepted there is a parachute bug when your chute opens before you land causing death? It's been around since day 1. I can only assume it can't be patched, or perhaps a future scheduled date will ammend it

So these symptoms... are they caused by the patch 1.08 or hardware? From the look's of things the Arma crew aren't in a hurry to fix it, so I'm guessing it's been written of as "deal with it" till the next patch?

I can't believe ppl are having to tweak a game this much just to play it! It's mind numbing to know the developers of this game have the damn right cheek to release Arma when it quiet clearly lacks quality control... ignorance will bite you in the end... i never played OPF but from the vibe around here that too was nailed with bugs.... if you cant get it right with the second timer around with your games then perhaps making games isn't what you should be doing... But that's just common sense.

Arma seems to be running like a slug with Vista, not sure if the ATI video card drivers are to blame or the coding of the ARMA itself. Since Arma isn't supporting Dual core, SLI or DX10 I figured it probably isn't going to run to well with the latest O/S, anyone else noticed this performance drop?

Same issue for me with this memory surface error... it's proof that this game was coded with the intention of not thinking ahead. No SLI, NO Dual core optimization and a lack of testing before they throw a patch out into the wild!! Game is quite clearly not made with the intention of supporting the latest technologies available to make the gaming experience better. I mean why wouldn't you optimize it for dual core, SLI... too difficult?

I have the same issue with stuttering... the fix is this: Remove the hotfix drivers that ATI said were provided to fix the leak... its the leak thats causing the stuttering - their driver sets made it a whole lot worse, mainly due to the fact they can't code drivers if they were in the business of providing them. I had exactly the same problem - all gone with the latest official catalysts driver but not the hotifx ones.

Best comment in the thread... along with the well noted first post. It does seem a little odd and I think Atari need a swift talking too.

Do you even know what nvidia is?

Are there any internet sites were it compares the levels of detail with Arma. I realize I can take a screen shot and change detail and then take another screen shot, but when I change detail levels in the game and gives me a blue screen of death and tells me some ATI sys file caused it. So anyone know of any sites? I'm keen to know what terrain detail is, texture detail and the differences etc.
