No problem, sorry if my first post was too sarcastic. Also, i'd try over-clocking that processor as much as you can before getting a new card. i overclocked my E8400 dual core from 3 gig to 4.2 and the difference was massive and I only have a 8800GTS (overclocked that a bit too.)

True about the view distance, if people realize that the option is there to change it. The point about the grass is the main one really, either have it off (ugghhh) for everyone or on for everyone, not have half the guys not changing it and leaving it at default and the other half switching it off. It would also be one less thing in the menu.

Oh, fair enough. I don't use any other mods with custom keys, nor save games, I just play multiplayer, waiting for the game campaign to be fixed before I go have a proper go.

Disabling post processing does turn off motion blur and bloom. You had a problem, i was telling you the answer, albeit in an impatient and sarcastic way, mainly because you started a completely new thread replicating about a dozen others instead of going to the effort of looking for an answer, and that annoyed me, I must admit I'm not so annoyed now after your reply though. Anyway, in the interests of the mod's sanity and not prolonging a thread that was pointless and lazy to begin with, this is my last post on the thread. PS I haven't read your other thread about your problem with the .cfg file but if it is not keeping changes you made to it you may need to set it as read only (right click-> properties) after you set the changes.

Thank you, I sent it to my friend but he's on holidays, he will translate it soon. in any case here is the translation from google translate. "When the number of players over 10 are beginning terribly rebate scripts, everything is done with the delays in minutes ... For example, I pointed out respauna point and wait for a few minutes ... Or trying to choose a weapon, the same thing. Urgent record and remove unneeded menus and scripts! General recommendations on the treatment - Interface - remove most of the scripts from the menu. We need it as a rule only the menu commands (skvada), and the ability to put points and designators. Everything else neigrabelno and it is not necessary, and only loads the mission. Remove the configuration of quality, it is better to do so in the start menu missii.Vse it should help as well and the overall productivity and ubiraniyu lags in the missions. Arms and the whales - the whales are selected at the entrance to the game. Enough to give them equipment. Menu choice of weapons in the game-bust, at least in this form as it is now. When you visit, such as doctor, I can immediately take a machine gun, grenade launcher, etc.. It turns out that all the running around with bazookas. Respaun and teleportation, teleportation removed. Most do not fit into the idea rezhima.Sovsem not realistic, and simplifies the game-type weapons can be based and Teleport place. Increase time respauna players and technology. Mobile Rep. remove, redundancy, and still they are not nearly ispolzuyutsya.My for example, they do not use, there is rallipointy the commander and deployed outposts (fayerbazy) Gameplay - to improve the system of rotating the capture points. (Analogy of the OL) Make a card at 48 still the same but with the number 64 (in the future, and 128) Add on the large maps on Everest for both sides, and Russian helicopters. (MI-24) Version 0.3, we played one of the first), Australia in nearly a time zone with the Far East." I don't know why it keeps coming up with whales?! ---------- Post added at 07:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 AM ---------- Incidentally one of stribog's suggestions mirriors the one I would like to propose, I would like it if the view distance and terrain detail were set for all players, by admin, on the role selection screen. Having a PvP match where some will have the grass on, and others will have the grass off and an extended view distance is very unfair.

So you've tried everything, yet you couldn't find how to turn off the blur? I'll take it that trying everything didn't extend as far as finding the advanced video settings where you turn off the post-processing? That will turn off the blur and bloom.

Ok, I have tried to interpret your post, I tried my best as I'm sure you did with english. I think i fixed most of it. If it is possible could you get a friend who speaks better english to translate it your message? If not could you send me a russian copy and I will get my russian speaking friend to translate it for us. Terrible lags when over 10 players. Menus work slowly. Respawn delayed?? Weapon selection delay??? Our opinion - it is necessary to clean many scripts, they practically are not necessary in game. (No change, readable enough) The interface - to clean the majority of scripts working of the menu. (No change, readable enough) Command menus (squads), and possibility to put a point and marckers are necessary there as a rule only. (Not sure what you mean, I think you mean you want these to stay?) All the rest dont work also is not necessary, and only loads mission. To clean a quality configuration, it is better to make it in the menu of start of mission. All it should promote as also the general productivity and kill lags in missions. (Dump the rest or make it optional?) The weapon and whales - whales get out at an input in game. The equipment is enough to assign to them. The choice menu in weapon game - search, at least in such kind as now. ( I think your translation program may have failed here, a whale is a large sea mammal! No idea what you mean here. Something to do with too many options in the weapons selection screen?) Respawn and teleportation - teleportation to clean. It is not entered at all in idea of a mode. (No idea what you mean, sorry!) To increase time respawn the player and technicians. (increase respawn time?) Mobile respawns to clean, search and all the same practically they are not used. (remove the mobile respawn as it is not used?) Gameplay - to improve serial system of capture of points. (analog from PR) to Make of a card on 48 still same but with quantity 64 (in the future it is possible and 128) to Add on the big cards a heavy armour for both parties and helicopters Russian. (By cards i think you mean maps? You want the same maps to have different versions that have different numbers of players and vehicles like PR?) We are ready and to play much further devastaion, but it is necessary to make missions with possibility to play at a considerable quantity of players without lags. (readable) With the best regards, the leader of community VZVOD Also, I think some of the items you mentioned in this post were fixed in the last version 0.3. Are you using 0.3?

Fixing what? There is nothing broken. It works fine.

Nice to see you on the server trapper! By the way Dr. Eyeball, Sirex has been updating his post on page 12 with the stuff we have been finding from day to day in case you didn't spot the updates. I've added some of them to dev haven also. Still really enjoying the game although it has yet to really take off. We could do with something to make the community more aware of it if anyone has more ideas?

Its specific to the mission, you earn points by getting kills, repairing, reviving etc. It does not carry over from mission to mission, or sever to server. Once the mission ends or the server restarts and new mission all ranking is lost. however for some missions, if you leave the server, and return later when the same mission is still running (without restart) you may have retained your ranking, the mission remembers you. the only purpose of the ranking is to make sure that the people who get to use the unlocked tanks and planes etc. are the people who have earned them, and not people who join a mission several hours in and just take assets that are meant for others. It also serves to restrict usage to players who will most likely be able to handle the assets effectively, a brand new player will not yet be able to achieve the ranking to get that A10 because he is not yet good enough, the reasoning behind that one is the if he''s not good enough to get the ranking he'll probably just crash the jet.

As you can see from Sirex's post above we were playing this a lot over the last two days and we are really enjoying it. One feature that i would like to suggest you change is the restriction on deployment of rally's with 20m of buildings. On maps like the docks this means that to use a rally it has to be deployed out in the open outside the town, as its pretty much impossible to deploy inside the town. Other than the BIS problems like the disastrous JIP system and general server lag on a server with enough juice to run 3-4 instances of any other game out there and yet struggle with one populated ArmA 2 server, its pure gold.

We also run VOP sound, along with the TSRM tracked vehicles and RH heli sounds (they all need the keys though). All welcome, see the website in my sig for server details (or filter [RIP]) and we also have a complete list of the addons allowed on our servers detailed in the public section under ArmA 2.

I think he manually wrote and tested the range cards himself so it doesn't matter if they are the same does it? You have a distance, you dial the scope, you hit the target?

Limit the amount of players that can join a multi-player server at one time. Once a server reaches a certain number of players it becomes attractive to players look for a server and we get a deluge of players connecting and the server lags for several minutes, runs for 20 seconds, then lags for a minute again, repeat until server is full. The server should have a queue system to stop 6-7 people connecting at one time and downloading the mission, it ruins the game for the 20 people actually on the server. Either that or drastically reduce the bandwidth usage of a connecting player and implement an automatic redirection to a separate URL to auto download the mission file. Its getting impossible to run a public server with a large number of players.

Yeah, we were just discussing that yesterday on dev haven. In the meantime if you have any questions feel free to post here, or ask in the public games section of our clans website (see link below) or come on our server and ask questions and someone will help you through. I'll be on myself tonight.

We played this for about an hour last night, we only spotted it on the forums just as we were about to all quit and go to bed for the night but we played on a bit longer when we got it! Great job on the bug fixes, and i'd also like to add that: instantly when you spawn in the first thing we ALL noticed is that is is very smooth, with high FPS. I don't know what you did there but the performance was beautiful in comparison to any other multi-player mission I had played. We went on to play a round of the black forest mission and we had great fun. I can confirm that all of the bugs you said you fixed seem to be fixed. I didn't come across a single bug in the hour we played. Although, that said, we were playing for fun and not seriously looking for bugs, we will try to go through it with a fine tooth comb soon. Great work.

community base addons? Any chance we could get this signed?

yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes please.

I should hope so because the only fix of any significance whatsoever on that change log is the last one. The rest barely affect gameplay at all!

Truly excellent work, I have read the post and will formulate a reply soon. I will also tell sirex about the post if he hasn't already seen it and he'll reply too. Again, well done. (Also Kremator, I don't think he was being demanding, just asking but his English isn't great, hardly a crime. How's your Russian? ;0)

Get yourself that card, and while your at it, look into over clocking the E8500, you should be able to run very comfortably at 4.0gig with air cooling. The bottleneck your system has at the moment is the ram by the way. I'd get another 2 gig.

Battlefield 3 will be out in the fall mate. If you need shiney medals you could always make something out of tin foil if it makes you feel better. They have bigger problems that giving you a warm fuzzy feeling with shiny stars!

Suggestion: Ping and bandwidth thresholds, when a players ping and bandwidth go above or below a certain server defined bandwidth. Auto-kick with reason displayed.

Ditto for us. Our ban list grows by the day.

Your UK based right? Have a look at www.rustyinplaces.org , its a clan for over 21's (or we have a cadet membership 18-21 in special cases), run by a bunch of ex-services guys and its been stable as a rock for a few years now. ( I say that because one thing you'll learn about clans is that they tend not to stick around.) Or jump on the server and say I sent you and the members (they will be the ones with [RIP] before their names) will help you out.
