    Computer Industry making money, not BI

    Well the way things are heading in the pc gaming world i dont think i'll be buying another gaming rig, seems most of the gaming devs are going after the money and leaving the pc market behind which is what i would do if i was in there shoes, so i cant blame them. A lot of kids with there xboxes think this is a good thing but i think alot of them forget they will grow up and have the money for a good pc but there will be very few games if any worth playing. Its a sad year for pc gaming, i completed mw2 in a day on hardcore then tried it online but with no dedecated servers it sucked, i cant see it being as populor as cod4 has been with pc gamers, the end is now :( A $1000 is a lot of money, my setup cost over £2000 just for gaming, i may just get myself a track car and agood paintball gun in a few years and give gaming up, i do love arma2 but the cost is to much just for one game.

    Still no Manhattan artillery bug fix!!!

    Maybe the artillerys been attacked adoped and over come.
  5. I lurked the dr forum for months before it was releast, i ended up not getting the it, the main reason being i dont like being lied too, for me arma 2 is the best game around at the moment for me, will i still be here if a better game comes along, even if its made by codemasters, no. Arma2 could be alot better than it is now, i haven't seen a big improvment over arma1-v-arma2 other than the gfx (if you have the power that is), they haven't made the game any better just made it nicer to look at but thats fine by me i was still playing ofp up until the release.

    Can we get a grass in a distance?

    The grass worked in delta force 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Syr147IVBXc watch from around 3mins in, watch the team mate in the grass and note how far he is, also watch the enemy get shot and fall in the grass this was alot of years back to

    ArmA 2 I/O analysis results

    ArmA 2 I/O analysis results

    Guys i've been reading this tread with intrest, not that i'm having the problems like some ppl are, i dont get stutter unless i'm in a jet going really low and fast and this with a res of 5040x1050 i run the game on a gtx285, XP 32bit, 4gig ram and 3 22" monitors at around 30 fps, i get the odd slowdown mostly happens when i'm zoomed in using a scope and then try to move, its just now and then i get this though. If i try to play on 1 monitor i feel my movement feels very stiff but when i'm using all 3 it feels more natural and a much nicer way to play, now i can't run everything full tilt but my setting are high very high, views at 3500 and the game looks stunning plays smooth and even though my fps fall using 3 monitors my movement feels better than having more fps on one monitor. Now saying that :rolleyes: i do suffer from things not loading to fast, it takes a good 10sec to load all the textures when i join a game or respown and ingame it take along time to tell if a tank or apc is dead, i have to wait aleast 20sec to let the texture for a dead tank load, i was thinking of a ssd but not sure this would fix my problem what do you guys think?

    Does anyone still play ARMA2?

    I'm finding it hard to find servers with ppl in them and i think its down to new players not having a clue when they join MP, i think someone should make a sticky for them, just to give them a helping hand to get them started something easy for them to understand with pics showing the map and pointing out how they get the i.e use the flag pole to parajump or spawn at the MHQ

  15. Hi guys i have a g15 keyboard im using at the moment and its causing a delay when i'm trying to open or close the ammo boxes, when i spawn or respawn also when i open and close the map, its about a 5 second delay so 10 seconds all in if i open the map or rearm, i am just frozen and cant move or use my mouse to select a weapon, would anyone know how to stop this that could give me a heads up as i cant seem to find threads about this problem.

    ofp v arma2 flight model

    I am a long time fan of ofp and loved the choppers, they were fun to fly but arma2 just isnt as much fun, maybe they were easy to fly in flashpoint and thats what made them fun and after all i want my games to be fun and arma2s fight models not as much fun as ofps flight model imo I'm not bashing arma2, i love the game it looks stunning, sounds great, plays abit slow at times, i.e i was getting ready to take out a tank that had its ass sticking out from behind a house with a rpg, but some enemy poped round the corner to my left, so in the real world i would of dropped the rpg and shot them (lets say 2 seconds to drop rpg ready gun and fire, no need to aim this was close range) its realy to slow to put an rpg back on your back and get your gun readyed and fire, sometimes i just need to drop stuff and go for my gun a button for drop whatever you have in your hand would work for this is this pasable? But anyway its still the best game by far loving it cheers Bohemia i see real love put into this nice work guys;)

    Will it ever be fixed?

    Well all i can say on the matter is, everyone should get themselves 3 22" wide screen monitors, a 285gtx oc2 and then just sit back and watch the stunning silky smooth world go bye at 5040x1050 :eek:no problems here but i feel your pain:)
  22. polecat.uk

    Is game still unoptimized?

    Did you try turning of PhysX? I have no problems and i'm running it on 3 22" monitors on a gtx285 and a q9400 with no over clocking and everything on high-- veryhigh view at 3500 i use winxp pro 32bit forgot the res 5040x1050

  24. Hi guys In ofp1 the hat on the joystick was free look you could use it much like track ir to look around freely, it was very easy to use and i loved it (made the game for me) now on the last update of ofp1 it was removed and we had just what we have now i.e you use the hat to look left or right and when you release the hat you auto center, why did they do this?:eek: It was much better the other way all i can think, its to do with track ir, and there is no way in hell i will ever pay for that to let me do the samething i could do on my joystick hat for free i know you can use track ir to look freely when not flying but i dont see the point as its just as easy to move the mouse and look. I would like to know if theres anyway i can change the settings for the hat to turn off auto return or is there a mod for this anywhere, if so a link would be nice thanks
