hi.... can anyone tell me why I get kicked off from the servers immediately I join? With this message: "You were kicked off" May that be the reason that I updated to the newest patch and most of the servers are not at the moment? I found one server which works fine... but the remaining ones do not.

Nope.. the cable was causing that problem, but I already solved that

I have just installed the new patch 1.07... The game runs worse on my system in average 10-20 FPS.. for example in the 3rd Single player mission in urban area I used to have 25-29 FPS using the previous patch - this was the best result so far. Now its 15-19. In other single mission called Sweep the village or something like that, I had 50FPS at start, now I have 29 and as I am getting closer, the FPS only gets worse! I have never had 15 FPS in that mission! I am using 1680*1050 medium details, no AA, AF, view dist 1000.

I have been missing something from Arma 2 since the beginning. To put it simple: Why there are no sounds while weapons are beign switched? When the character is running, I can hear the sound of equipment. Why there is no sound for holstering my M16 (for example) and grabbing an RPG, or Javelin. The effect itself may be simple, but adds much to the level of authenticity. What do you think?

Based on the previous comments I assume you all like my idea... Would be nice to see some feedback from Bohemia too :)

Despite of the fact that the game contains US soldiers and US campaing mostly :)

Or at least they should give one free Arma2 for each MW2 that is going to be sold :D :D

downloaded the file on the link you provided, it works for now

I just downloaded it via armaholic.com ... but I`ll give it another try... aha.. the problem is that on armaholic the version is 1.1 not 1.0 that the campaign requires

I keep getting this message... tried the 1st version and the 2nd with ace

Apart from a beer I drank :)

Hi! I have Arma 2 since it has been released. My FPS was fine until now. Around 35-45 with medium-high details at 1280*1024. Now I bought a new monitor, which native screen resolution is 1680*1050. (my previous monitor had the old RGB cable, and I used a converter because my video card has only DVI port at tha back - now I use the DVI cable) The first time I started the game I met with 13 FPS in the main menu. I used to have over 40 a week before I played the game. I have not changed anything in the video options until then! I was using exactly the same options as with my previous monitor. Now, it does not matter how I set the graphic details, which resolution I choose, I have the stable 15-20 FPS in main menu and in game. My PC is: Intel C2D E6550 @2.6Ghz ATI HD4850 512, Factory overclocked version 2x1GB DDR2 800 Win XP 32 bit Catalyst 10.3 Now I do not know what to think! I tried reinstalling the game but it did not help. Have to add that every other game I have runs fine.

I took this pic right now

I do not get it... I played with Arma 2 yesterday, it was all right.. 60FPS in the Main menu.. now I am having the same issue again. I tried stopping down incrementally the backround programs, but as you can see it did not help, not updating drivers. ---------- Post added at 03:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 PM ---------- What is Arma 2 using that other games don`t? I also play Rise of Flight but there I have not experienced any FPS problems. I have Assassins Creed 2, where I experience the same as in Arma 2, -20 FPS, Modern Warfare -50 FPS. I can not understand this. It was all fine yesterday. Can it be the memory, or the motherboard that is causing this?

The thing is in terms of Arma it does not matter wether or not I run it on 1280*1024 or 1680*1050 - I have the same FPS fortunately

I wrote to ATI about the issue I am having with the DVI-D cable, and they wrote me back in 2 hours that I should update all drivers, bios, including USB driver. The point is I had all things updated of course, except the USB driver. Well, I would not thought that it could be the USB driver resposible for all this, but since I updated it the DVI-D cable works well in harmony with the videocard. I do not see the connection, though.

I do not understand this. I read that DVI-D and DVI-I should just work fine! Now my RGB cable is performing the same result. I am having 15 FPS in the main menu.

Will there be a version of Arrowhead which is for those who own Arma 2 already? Which contains only the new stuff and not the basic game? Few months ago I heard in an interview with Marek that there will be one, around 10-15 euros. I just need this information to be confirmed. It would not be fair to ask the same price again, that is why I am asking.

Thanx Alex for the reply, but I sorted it out yestreday. The problem was my lack of knowledge on the DVI technology. The problem was exactly, that the DVI-D is and looks different (has less pins than DVI-I), than the DVI-I input I have on my videocard. The thing I did, that I plugged the DVI-D to the DVI-I slot on my videocard. I had not noticed at first, that there are lesser pins on the monitor`s cable, I just plugged it. http://www.hisdigital.com/UserFiles/news/200902261616114965.png Check the link if you wish to know the differences between DVI-D, and DVI-I. All I need is a DVI-I to DVI-D converter in the future, now I am fine with the old RGB cable.

I used an old RGB cable before, since all the other games run well.. I have no reason to assume the new DVI cable is the reason why I am having FPS drop (plus DVI got higher bandwidth as far as I know) I blocked all unneccesarry programs at the start, also defregmanted my HDD, running that balwarebyte at the moment.. deleted the infected files but the outcome did not change! This is the config file you mean? language="English"; adapter=-1; 3D_Performance=100000; Resolution_Bpp=32; Resolution_W=1680; Resolution_H=1050; refresh=60; Render_W=1680; Render_H=1050; FSAA=0; postFX=1; HDRPrecision=8; lastDeviceId=""; localVRAM=536870912; nonlocalVRAM=525729792; winX=16; winY=32; winW=1680; winH=1050; winDefW=1680; winDefH=1050; GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1000; GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=2; Windowed=0; ---------- Post added at 05:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:04 PM ---------- Yaayy... I found the source of the problem! It was the cable! I was using a DVI-D single link cable that blocked my FPS... now I plugged back my 5 year old RGB cable, with a DVI-RGB converter on one side and now it works as it should be! I did not want to believe at first that cable can be responsibel for all this, but when I started Modern Warfare 2 it lagged as well as I had 15-20 FPS, which I considered impossible because I always had 50+ with the old monitor, and old cable. By the way ... thanx for the help guys! :)

I used LCD before, 17" but it went wrong so I bought a bit bigger :)

My suggestion would be to make an in-built addon manager for Arma 2. This would help us to easily oversee what addons we have, what do we use at the moment. And if you want to join a multi server which does not allow the use of any addon, then you can easily uncheck it (under the addon options) while you are still in the game. No need to alternate the game icon or use 3rd party addon managers. According to my idea it would look like an option in Main menu called Addon manager, you click on it and a little window pops up showing two boxes. In the left box you see the addons which are avaliable on the internet, and in the right one of course the ones you already have. This would add one more thing to do for addon creators, because they will have to submit their work and the download link to a central database that supports the in-game addon manager. The system would be Drag and Drop. From the left box, you drag the desirable addon, and you drop it into the right box. This sounds like very user friendly for me. Once you dropped the item, the download process automatically starts, and when it is finished you will see the downloaded addon in the right box ... of course in the backround the system automatically places the given addon in a decent way to the right folder. With this way, the game could easily separate one addon from another, while for the user it is still a friendly environment. What do you think?

thats something like I think of .. yes :)

I would like to ask you what do you think of user created mission like this? http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=9128&comments=1 It uses a few addons, which is cool but on the other hand it could get frustrating to obtain and install all the required addons. A solution must be implemented within the game to support the creators and users.

hi.. this is the first time I installed ACE mod 2 into my computer. I managed to update it as well, but when I try to run it using the Arma launcher I got the message: Include file userconfig\ace\ace_clientside_config.hpp not found what should I do?
