I feel a little bit fooled since this is the only "technical" statement delivered by BIS so far that I am aware of: On his request: ... I replied: Later Suma replied: I replied: And many other unlucky owners of ArmA 2 with the same problem posted their descriptions of bug and their rigs as well as the crashdump files. As a thank you we got this from Maruk in another thread: Well, what now? Why you fix ArmA2 if it is Nvidia? Having since weeks a SW that I can not use made me not really calm. So WHAT is now BIS's intention? Saying to us: "bad luck, you have the wrong setup" - without saying exactly what the ideal, tested setup is? And there are just 2 GPU manufacturers in the world, why is it not possible to make wider compatibility testing? IMHO to many users having the same problems to point to single HW or driver issues. If there is no serious intention go after the root cause within the next 1-2 months, please say it NOW, so that we have the chance to return our game now. Keep in mind that your customers spend in addition to the 30+ Euro for your game additional 200+ Euro for a GPU upgrade or even few 1000 for a new rig, just to find out it is "incompatible". Could Suma or Maruk give us unworthily customers a clear statement that what they intent to do and where they see their obligations? Thank you in advance The unlucky No-ArmA2-player

Imagine: - ArmA 2 as it was intended, but without any severe bug - a complete new physics simulation - a CoC support with support for any kinf of CoC structure - modding tools with HIGH QUALITY documentation - 3d ingame editor with HIGH QUALITY documentation ...much much more. What could BIS consider you would be willing to spend? Reason why I open this poll? Because I assume ArmA2 is as it is because BIS hesitates to take more risk (money) for the engine development. Maybe we can convince them that it could work from business point of view. I would even pay in advance. I am a real idiot, right? http://www.oanda.com/convert/classic for those having issues to deal with Euro

Found this thread in the ArmA forum, maybe it is a good idea to pick up the idea. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?p=1270316#post1270316 http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BTS_Instructions I guess it would be nice for BIS to get a fast feedback supported by a decent tool. Please have a look to the example screenshots behind the 2nd URL in that manual BEFORE you vote.

He jumps with that into every patch thread even before Placebo can do. I guess he would be an excellent complementation to offload Placebo.

Fastest and cheapest way: community modder deletes all objects on Chernarus and releasing it as Desert-Chernarus, maybe changing ground textures too. If BIS would do it, it would come most likely as an expansion which has to be paid. If money is not an issue, buy VBS2, I guess everything inside is Iraq :D

I do not know how educated you are and how you follow the actual political situation, but thanks to Putin and Bush the actual ArmA 2 story is very actual. See the conflict in Georgia/Ossetia if you know where it is. It is RUS vs US, but still the same old men power games. Imagine US and or NATO would have made any move to support the Georgian forces.........

1000+ PvP requires a FAT server in terms of internet connectivity. 1000 x synchonisation traffic........assume the traffic cost for renting such a server :D

Observations in a local hosted 0.2f, me as CEO of the russians, COOP mode as russian: Tractors on a mission to deliver something to a Pasture do not take any mission if the pasture was taken by enemy while they are on their way. New purchased tractors worked fine after I took back the pasture, but the other 32 tractors remained immobile. Suggestion: Give CEO more control over the single tractor. Let him define A-End and B-End of a route by selectable targets. Then let the CEO assign Tractors to each route. But at any time let the CEO select on or more Tractors and the ability to a.) drop the cargo b.) abort current mission and return to a waypoint (in case path is in danger) c.) change the Tractor to a different route With that the CEO could maybe work around the generic immobile Tractor issue.

In ArmA 1 we have Sahrani serving both needs somehow. North for the vegetation fans, South for the desert fans. But it was IN LINE with the story. The ArmA 2 island is also in line with the ArmA 2 story. Really, try to address this to the modders, I am sure they will release desert islands with "large" sharp rising mountains anyway. Trust Opterix.

Placebo's special way of answering patch related questions is IMHO not the way to gain any goodwill among the affected customers. And "imminent" in BIS language could also mean several months. And he "believes", does he has no access to BIS to get it more precise? All I asked for was if BIS is aware what the root cause for the "Receiving bug" is. Knowing that would give us possibly the chance to avoid situations triggering that issue. If they do not know the root cause I have doubts that they can fix it soon, hence it is not serious pointing to patch 1.03 leaving the impression a fix will be included in patch 1.03 comming "soon".

Can you please link that post? I only found Maruks statement to that issue. Regarding holidays: Nothing against that they close the company for a month, but they could say so. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?p=1323608#post1323608 Read from post 70 on, in post 77 Suma replied, Suma requested some more info in 83, I replied again, but then.......conversation ended as usual. This is now the thread I refer to: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=75107 My post #10 states that I do not believe that 1.02 cured anything, Maruk replied in #11 that whatever he has in mind that was fixed was included in a certain patch. And he stated: I do not know if it was clear to him at that time that both Nvidia and ATI users are affected. Honestly, even if I appreciate it, I do not expect Suma and Maruk to show up here and post, I rather expect that Placebo or other moderators managing the communication between BIS <-> community.

????????? You guess all the world must adapt to your needs because your crappy soldiers fighting in a country where every army is getting lost.

There is a significant number of people with severe problems, the can not run ArmA at all or only with huge problems. Then there is a impressive number of bugs to be solved. IMHO we have the right to DEMAND a fix asap and we have the right to ask for a shedule. Instead of that we get impertinent statements like "it is done when it is done" and threads related to that get closed. Are we happy with that?

Right, but obviously BIS has problems with your theory. BTW, it is also mine.

Use clouds, thats the way it is in RL. BTW, the FLIR script is boosting the stars to much.

Maybe a metal plate with a slit to protect the gunner at least against small arms fire? There were some addons for ArmA 1.

Console kids are poisoned by Afghanistan and Iraq war. Utes is desert nuff.

Look how customers with serious problems are treated - > "its ready when its ready" when they ask for a fix. Nuff that I was so stupid, I suggest to all others to wait another 2 years until BIS might brought it to a decent quality.

me too, so start making it.

You are alone. If you need mountains without vegetation simply invest 18 months time to become an excellent island maker. Simple as that. The new island that came with ArmA 2 is the only thing I am 100% happy with, finally some dense vegetation. I was so bored by all those desert-like islands. The story of ArmA 2 does not need a desert environment, hence pester some island makers or do it yourself. Simpliest approach: shave Tschernarus so that all vegetation is gone and change all ground textures to desert-like and you get the most boring island in universe.

I searched the forum, but can not find the right snippets. Basic idea: want to TRY to assemble a kind of CoC editor to re-arrange squads, Chain of Command etc ingame. As far as I remember it is since OFP possible in general to assign units to other teams. In crCTI you can add units to xxx different teams and you can "disband" units off different teams. Missing is IMHO only snippets to "move" units to another team and a nice GUI to manage this in an easy way. Best would be to get a ingame menu showing all assets of your side in a structured way and the ability to drag/drop with mouse from one team to another. Dunno if engine supports mouse-dragging. Search/selection by unit type or other filters would be cool. E.g. if MBTs are spread over several teams I would like to select all existing MBTs by filter and move them into a new created group. Also Map-click like in Red-Alert would be fine. if you have in an hot area many units, but belonging to different teams, I would like to get them under one single command. the easiest way would be to open at MAP with the mouse a selection window and all units inside are selected. Then I could add them to an existing or a new group. If the experienced modder have any ancient script in mind that could serve one/some of the tasks please stiff my nose on it.

Welcome to the club. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=81206 and 4-5 similar threads dealing with this issue. Moderators ignoring those threads even if I asked x times to merge them. BIS gave no serious statement related to that issue so far.

crCTI is not made by BIS. BIS employed the community member Mike Melvin to do warfare which is based on the generic idea of MFCTI. crCTI is a version of MFCTI made by Cleanrock.

You try to ride a horse that is 8 years dead.

Define "full performance". Absolute number vs. a HW+SW setup.
