    Patching Issues

    I just reinstalled ARMA (US). I downloaded patches 1.08 and 1.14. Try to patch to 1.08, it says 'extract all' or 'run'. I try to 'extract all' and get '0x80004005....unspecified error. Running Vista. Thnks
  2. Can someone walk an idiot through inserting the '-maxmem=512' into the command line? Step by step please as I am stoopid. Thanks.

    1.08 Troubleshooting thread.

    Us Version Patched 1.08. Game seemed to run smoother, but, as before, froze when I tried to save. Many times it just freezes when I hit 'Esc' to bring up menu. Oh well. Vista 32bit Nvidia 7900 GS 2 GB Ram core 2 duo

    Steady

    Maybe it's just me but my aiming seems a bit unsteady. Are there any game options I can change to ease this? Like what's that 'Floating' slider underneath the mouse sensitivity? Also, I play on a notebook and do not have a separate number pad. How do I change from 1st to 3rd person view?

    As good as OFP's?

    I haven't read through the forums much but would just like to know if those of you who were OFP fanatics (like myself) think this ArmA is as good or better? I played OFP repeatedly for years...never lost it's flair and haven't played anything since that compared. So should I buy it or not? Also, is it even available in US stores? Thanks
  6. I downloaded and installed these patches in order, and it said 'installation successful'. However I load ArmA and it still says version 1.06.5151. What did I do wrong?

    Freeze after 10 - 25 minutes play

    Where do I change this 'maxmem'? Also, does Nvidia not have new drivers yet for 7900GS running in Vista?

    Could you explain how to install correctly for a somewhat computer-illiterate. Thanks.

    Noob Questions

    A few things I'm having trouble understanding: 1) Â In the main campaign, when I view the mission briefing (map, notes, etc.) is there a way to select which weapons I would like to take with instead of the default ones? 2) Â I'm playing on a notebook with no NUM Keypad. Â I have looked and looked in the 'control' options and cannot find the '3rd' person view option to map to any key I want. Â Any ideas which option is the '1st/3rd' person toggle? 3) In OFP, I was able to select a member of my team and order him to 'drop' his weapon/equipment. So far I am unable to do this in arma. Thanks

    2nd Beta 1.07.5157 feedback thread

    Questions: 1) Are these beta patches for the US version? 2) If not, are there any for the US version? Many in-game freezes and some CTD's on brand new notebook: Vista Intel T7200 core 2 duo 2.0ghz 2GB ram nvidia 7900 gs 256mb

    Steady

    I am using a mouse. And I have looked in the 'game control options' and I cannot find the control for 1st to 3rd person view. I also read in the manual about 'concentration mode' in which you control your breathing to aim steady....yet it doesn't say how to enter 'concentration mode'.

    As good as OFP's?

    All I can say is OFP and all it's exapnsions were solid and fantastic. As you can see from many other posts, the replayability is phenomenal. If you can find it, try it.

    As good as OFP's?

    Thanks. Â And it's available in US stores? Also, is there a US patch yet?

    As good as OFP's?

    Is it still basically the same as far as 1st/3rd person options? Will someone who played OFP for hundreds of hours see control similarities?

    Resist. exercise mission

    I ALWAYS do this one on foot. Start off with the sniper rifle. move to the huge mountain to the NE of the city. Start sniping!! I have NEVER even had to call in the grenadiers! Veteran Level!!
  21. I have defeated the slodiers. I have destroyed the Bmp and the T-72 which approach from the south. I have waited for the next round of tanks and destroyed them (i have played this mission many times and have always waited for these guys). they consisted of 2x T-72's and a shilka. I even destroyed the Mi-24. my team suffered no casualties. On my objectives page, the first and secon objs. are checked green. The third....'if these enemies are not defeated, you cannot proceed'...(or something like that) is NOT checked..neither red or green. I go to meet the civilian, and he is not there. Any ideas? I have scoured the area looking for the one lone ruskie yet to kill, but nothing.

    Any plans for ofp 2!?!?!

    Anyone know if CM/BIS are planning another OFP? I can only play this one so many times:)
  23. In Cold-War-Crisis in the 'Escape from Prison' mission (where your A-10 gets shot down) has anyone simply NOT boarded the Hind as the russians insist? I just tried, and was it a challenge!!! If anyone else tries this and needs some ideas, let me know:)

    Gun sights innacurate

    When aiming any weapon normally(without zooming in or looking through the sight, the 'sight-marker' ...the white 'T' is always aiming way too high. At a distance of approx. 10 feet, if i aim at an enemy's head, he will get hit in the stomach. Any ideas?? resistance version 1.90 coldwar crisis latest also thanks
