Textures still flickering and loading slow been like it since Arma so doubting they'll ever fix it now, ah well looks like Arma 2 is probably the last BI game I ever buy.

Looks like eclipse of the sun. :rolleyes:

Does not make any difference for me still get this problem (if its the same one) with everything on low and 500m view distance, textures seem to load slightly faster but then it would with only 500m of objects to load I suppose.. example :

binkster, I dont know if its just randomess in the test or what but I went up to 5497 from 4942.. by using -cpuCount=4 in the cmd line Oops forgot I disabled vsync so I suspect it is that which has increased my fps.

Um ok.. can I even do this at software level?. I'm sure this is related to slow loading textures bug which I also get. Is everyone getting these issues or is it only a few?. Its most annoying when your as everytime you zoom in most objects are flickering which is totally unrealistic and spoils the feel of the game, it would be 100% better if not for this (these?) damn bugs.When I was using my old 8800GTX setup in Arma I'm sure I was getting the same issue so I want to know if the current nvidia card are also getting it and its not just an ATI issue.

Is there any advantage to having vsync on/off?.

I am seeing some same as in Arma 1. Anyone else get this?.

Its not a 64bit OS issue as I get the slow textures (and flickering) on XP 32bit. This is exactly the same issue I had in Arma 1 and its very annoying.

Cpu - intel i7 920 @ 3.6ghz Ram - 4GB DDR3 (dual channel) GPU - ATI 4870 512mb OS - XP SP3 Texture Detail - Normal Anisotropic Filtering - Normal Terrain Detail - Normal Objects Detail - Normal Shadow Detail - Normal PostProcess Effects- Low res: 1680x1050x32 4942.98

Thats good to here as that is exactly the same spec as I have (once I've put the new bits in the case..). What OS you on?.

Arrrgh knew I wouldnt be able to resist bought from metaboli

Yeah I'm not a mega overclocker but my C2D 2.4ghz will run stable (and reasonably cool) @ 3.2ghz. I'm not sure how much fps is gained but its more like 5-15fps rather than 1 or 2.

July 7th? so we have to wait 2-3 weeks longer think I'll just buy it on DVD and then add it to steam 'manually' later on.

Cheapest option is upgrade to a 4870 or 4890 gfx card I would have thought and maybe get a good cooler and overclock cpu?.

Thinking of Upgrading system for Arma 2: Current: C2D 2.4ghz 2gb DDR2 1066mhz ATI 4870 512mb Upgrade: Core i7 2.66ghz 6gb DDR3 GTX295? -------------- Not sure about the graphics card tho?, is it worth upgrading from a 4870? I do want to play on ultra high really so maybe it is?.
