I will certainly try logging into a game in the early hours, to see if it is any better. Never had any lag at all in any other games with Idnet but I do appreciate all the suggestions and look forward to trying them out. Idnet are a small company that I have been with since last September, after moving from the nightmare of Orange. They have always provided a fast, reliable connection and I can definitely recommend them, even at peak times.

I play Red Orchestra and Battlefield 1942 online and never have any problems with lag. My ISP is Idnet, in the UK, and my pings are always 40 - 80 in games. With ARma I always connect to green servers that ping around 30 - 40. It is reassuring to hear that people get smooth gameplay online as this is the ONLY thing that spoils the game for me. It is a great game other than the lag online I get. I have setup the firewall on the router OK and have no viruses, spyware etc. I will try some other servers in my country to see if I can get a smooth experience. Thanks for all your fast replies, great to see the enthusiasm for this good game. Andy

My game runs great offline witht his new rig - Dual core 6700 800 GTX 2 GB RAM 3 MB broadband Online though the gameplay is never smooth. When soldiers, vehicles etc move they appear every couple of feet, just disappearing and not smooth. I get good FPS - always 50+ even in woods, long distance viewing etc. Obviously the problem is with the netcode! Still this game is buggy even years after the orignal OFP was released. I cannot understand how they still release a game with so many bugs in still. Looking at the fixes for 1.08 and previous the game was riddled with bugs. Does anyone have a smooth play online without players jerking and when they walk? Andy

Thanks for all your helpful replies - I bought the game! It is a good and a real great concept, however.... I cannot believe how bug ridden this game is! This is the same problem the original OFP suffered from. Just looking through the fix list for patches brings back the memories of old. Amazing how companies can release half finished games. Still a good game overall though. Andy

Hi everyone, this is my first post on here. I wondered how many people play this great game, roughly? At the moment I play red Orchestra, which I love, but there are never many busy servers. Years ago I used to play OFP which I did enjoy a lot but it seemed to lose popularity due to bugs over time. I've played the demo of Armed Assault and like it but wondered if it's worth buying the full game? Cheers in advance. Andy
