Overwatch

could explain it as I had the no blur mod on. The first 1.2 patch fixed the issue for me though

If it is turned off for realism then snipers need a range finding option like they would have in real life

Wow you guys have been quick with this one. It keep saying I'm new to the Arma series and BIS but with updates coming this frequently I gives me great faith. Downloading now. A+++ for effort BIS.

I play coop from time to time but I'm screaming out for more PVP servers. If I wanted to play against AI I would in single player. What I want is to play vs human competition with human teamwork. Fully agree with OP that 90% of the servers out there seem to be Coop

I noticed it too. At first I thought I had a hair or something in the laser. Seems to be intermittent with me on only ever really get it at menu screens

I only play multiplayer so I can't say how it effected SP. However I can honestly say I'm not sure what the patch did. I've not seen any noticeable performance or polish. Focus next patch more on how the game runs (gfx,FPS) and worry more about the AI later. In my book you could have made some of the worlds greatest changes but if the game is laggy and graphically glitchy I won't know.

I get same issue too except my tears are white. Often get little white squares too. Do you get the same problems when the map is played at night??

Even reducing details all to medium/low did not resolve it. Only when playing night levels do I not get this tear? I know its only one small white spec on the img of the 1 frame I uploaded but at 30+fps it looks like it's snowing. Ran a drive cleaner which found nothing but an old reg entry for my last mouse. If no other games are effected it has to be Arma2 side. With all the posts about nvidias top card the good news is at least I'm not alone with on the buggy game fix :) Lets hope BIS or community come up with something. First dip into the Arma series but man the bugs and tech faults are annoying. BIS need to rethink a few priorites. EDIT: Found this post that reports similar issues to mine. Deffo looks like a game/engine fault http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?p=1323173&posted=1#post1323173

yeah I just uninstalled software. Removed card. Insert new one. Installed software. COD is running as was but if you think it will help can you recommend any good driver cleaners??? Never used one before

It will shoot dead centre upto 300. After that the bullet will lose speed and start to drop. Fire up the editor. Pick a sniper (m107 is the daddy of them all) line bad guys up. Click middle mouse when you have your binos or scope over the target and you get a distance. PLay around and get good at them. Heres a test. Aim for a head shot at and enemy at 700m full zoom and it will fall short due to bullet drop. At that range you need to rain the bullet down onto the target. Go full zoom at 300m and aim head and the shot will go high because the zoom changes the zero point. No zoom at 300m and head shot every time. Thats just on the flat, different elevations changes things too. For assault rifles forget about bullet drop unless your aiming up/down elevation. At medium to long ranges a General rule of thumb is to aim short of the target when shooting from raised elevation and aim above when shooting up elevation.

1) Stock answer is to blame fragmentation etc... My baby is clean 2) Haven't touched single player. Don't intend to. 3) Deleted it did nothing. ---------- Post added at 12:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 AM ---------- My rig is HP 2475 dual core e6700 clocked to 3.4 4gb ram vista x64 4890 with Latest catalyst drives as of last 24hrs. I only seem to get the blobs in daylight. I was in settings when it was doing a ship fly by in the dark and nothing. I daylight I managed to capture one with a screen shot. These suckers are hard to screen grab but very noticeable and in more number during gameplay. Sort of a flickering effect from different locations. They appear from the start which rules out heat issues. http://s208.photobucket.com/albums/bb28/gaareth_uk/?action=view&current=arma22009-06-2200-33-13-40.jpg The blob is middle right of the screen below the white dome. Hope I don't have to wait to the next patch, frame rate is bad enough with gfx errors.

Whistfully thinking I would get better FPS if I upgraded my 8800GTS to a spanking new 4890, I did so. Not only do I NOT get any noticeable FPS boost but now I get loads of flickery white blobs on the screen when moving about. Much better card = no improvement. WTF??? Has anyone else experienced this with their ATI. Know of any tweaks or fixes I could employe with the 4890?? BI - Can you aim the next patch at optimization and leave the bugs for when the game will run decently?

no one else getting this?? Everyone elses Team mission in boot camp work???

Can't get Coop to follow any orders. Anyone esle having problems?? When I select move there from order menu (using both space and F2) I yell out "Halt". Tried selecting everything no joy. By fluke he moved when I played around with formations. Then I told him to get in the HMV (I yelled out those orders this time) and he said negative. Anyone please help?? Spent over an hour and I just ended up shooting him.

I'm running on medium with better specs. a) don't look as good as it can be but decent (who wants decent though??), they need to do some serious optimization b) the FPS isn't great, which again will be resolved by optimization. You might technically be able to run medium settings (not sure you will) but it will be unplayable in terms of frames/sec imo (with this patch of course). Wow I've used brackets in this post (alot) more than wanted to.
