    Thanks for your answer....but if i make an OC to the processor this will not help to me??

    mr71mb0 you have an C2Duo ... do you play well with this??

    thanks a lot

    Yes, but as I said, on the single player campaign I have found that the FPS drops to 25fps for some reason. Setting Graphics as low as possible doesn't increase them. So it doesn't seem to be linked to graphics settings.

    on the 1st island it's up round 75fps with full graphics settings.

    ArmA is meant to be multicore optimized. If that's true, it means that a Quad Core will be of much more use than a Dual Core, even if the latter is faster than the former. 550w should be more than enough for your configuration, assuming the PSU is of good quality (How old is the PSU?)

    The big question here is what motherboard you have. Certain older chipsets may not be compatible with Quad Cores. Although the chances are that your motherboard will accept a quad core no problem.

    not totally correct. One of the Devs has already confirmed that depending on workload and the current situation, either higher clock or more core would yeild more performance.

    Obviously the faster quad you can get the better.

    I@ve just done some testing on FPS with Fraps.

    on Boot Camp I get 75fps with everything on High, fillrate @ 100%, view dist at 3km.

    During the Campaign I am at this bit where my FPS is very low. it hovers around 25fps + or - 3fps and doesn't reall vary much. Looking straight at the ground or straight up doesn't change it like you'd normally expect.

    Furthermore, I then set everything as low as possible. even fill rate @ 50%. The Fps's didn't change at all.

    Either this is down to an issue in the graphics engine, or poor optimisation, or the bottle neck is totally down to the cpu and AI requirements at the time.

    My Spec is

    Windows7 64bit

    4GB Ram

    Core 2 Duo @ 3.2GHZ

    GTX 260 216 - latest drivers.

    you got a point. however, it is striking that Morphicon insisted on an earlier release compared to 505 TWICE now. would it have hurt them to release it at the same time as 505? on the contrary, i think. the reviews could only be better. :(

    well I don't really see the ARMA series in the same was as more mainstream games are (Call of Duty type series). Most people who discover ARMA won't do it though reviews, chances are they will seek it out themselves.

    Hi mr71mb0

    German version is in German.

    To play it in English people are using an unofficial patch or a MOD. People using an unofficial patch will probably suffer from the copy and cheat protection being triggered. Those who use a MOD folder probably do not suffer from the cheat and copy protection being triggered but may find that having a MOD folder prevents them from entering servers that do not permit it.

    Still playing it in German may be a good way of learning a language.

    By the way I am looking forward to using the Chernarus to improve my Czech language understanding. I know there is now a language training system included in VBS2.

    Kind Regards walker

    true, but once the UK release goes ahead on the 19th of June there will be a patch to unify all the versions, this should provide the German version with the ability to select UK language surely?

    you've got it right, methinks. however, it is debatable if you want to support Morphicon's decision to release the game early by buying "their" version.

    tbh I don't really care what they get upto, ARMA2 excited me and I had to have it as soon as possible. If you had to wait till a game was perfect and had no bugs then they would never get released, so complex are they these days.

    I also get so sick of seeing previews of how ace these games are and then have to wait a year or more to get hold of them.

    That's why as a non German speaking UK resident I bought this version and I'll put up with the little annoyances till they get it all fixed.

    I keep seeing that people refer to the German version and that they will wait for the 505 UK version.

    I bought the German version, but my expectation is that they are the same game, it's just the 505 later release will have had some of the kinks worked out.

    ALL versions (german release & later 505 UK release) will all be patched to same version and there will be no differences. Wasn't this how it was with ARMA1?

    Sure the german version will give you more of a rocky ride, but then you are getting it earlier aren't you.

    Personally I'd much rather get my hands on it early with the understanding there will be some issues.

    Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    you can pick up an ATI 4850 512 for about £85 and they are pretty good out of the box. And with a bit of overclocking should do well.

    ATI's are supposed to be good with ARMA2. Don't expect miracles but with Game engine updates via future patches etc. For £85 you get a lot of card for your money.

    A 4870 would be a better option but a 512MB version would set you back approx £100 and a 1GB version about £135.

    As always, the longer you can wait, the cheaper they will get and the more you could get for your money.

    I sometimes hear explosions and gunfire even when no one is about. Hard to know if I'm being attacked or not.

    Also on the Manhattan mission I get this russian radio station talking over everything, it seems to loop and no way to shut it up. Totally ruins the mission. I did use the x4 time acceleration at one point to speed up a long journey, I suppose this could have screwed it up? Or just a big fat bug. It's still there if I quit a reload my save too.

    Patch 1 has been applier btw.
