    Very good work qwertz... keep it up!!

    sadly those that had to have this explained to them are not very PC smart... and you will always find it difficult to keep your pc running well...

    It has been posted/explained a number of times how much hard disk activity affects this game and surely we can all see the HD LED on our supreme gaming rigs????

    @emjaiz

    I dont know of another game that does anything like the gameworld calcs that A2 does so to compare to other games is silly.

    you would need to put a simple flight sim a strategy a fps and a tank battle together to do what this game does......

    you also need to have your OS and hardware setup well.

    The game runs well for me 1680 x 1050 on a mid spec rig (see below)and for many others.

    I suggest you dump Vista...(who uses that pos?) and do some reading.

    XP pro 32

    Q6600 3Ghz

    2 Gig DDR2

    9800GT 1Gig

    2 x WD 750AAKS raid 0

    Just a heads up for those that dont already know about Lucid

    http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3646

    from the article that tested a working setup on Windows 7:

    Also unlike last year, we actually got real seat time with the Hydra 200 and MSI's Big Bang. Even better: we got to play on a GeForce GTX 260 + ATI Radeon HD 4890 running in multi-GPU mode.

    The technology sounds flawless. You don't need to worry about game profiles or driver support, you just add more GPUs and they should be perfectly load balanced. Even more impressive is Lucid's claim that you can mix and match GPUs of different performance levels. For example you could put a GeForce GTX 285 and a GeForce 9800 GTX in parallel and the two would be perfectly load balanced by Lucid's hardware; you'd get a real speedup. Eventually, Lucid will also enable multi-GPU configurations from different vendors (e.g. one NVIDIA GPU + one AMD GPU).

    one thing peeps should keep in mind when considering various ways to test HD v SSD is that often the files being accessed when loading games/data have to be unpacked or extracted.

    this then becomes cpu intensive, I am not sure how much this applies to A2 tho...

    @Grunt... thats seems like a very long time even for the SSD array, I am not at my pc but I dont think it takes that long on my rig I will not be able to test for a week but will have a look when I can.

    @1longtime... can you test startup on your rig?

    We should all be talking about hard drive speed alot more.

    very true

    I have been on these forums for a while now and I still see ppl posting their mega rigs without listing their HD configs...

    I think it is possibly the most important component for A2..and of course we all know it is the slowest component in the PC...

    my game has constant HD activity...

    I have a very low spec rig but have two WD750 AAKS in raid 0 with all the swap file tweaks etc and I get a pretty good game...

    I will up to SSD before I up my 9800GT

    As a noob I played on AU public servers regularly and apart from the numerous TK dips and Hax, I found if I asked a few Qs about how to play on the particular server, I was always given lots of help.

    I learnt about MHQs and stuff by waiting and watching and listening to VON or just following others for a while.

    I'm using 1.04 with last beta exec, just because I prefer launching game w/o DVD which makes too much noise and could get scratched

    If you are using beta exec then ur are not using 1.4.0.59026 exec...

    does that not mean ur are still playing beta

    the file size is 16404K v 10808K

    are u saying that the 6 megs diff is cd check???

    I have installed 1.04 patch and I must now use cd....

    PS... BTW dunno why windows reports 1.4 and 1.04 at the same time for the same file????

    Footsteps, gun reloading and ambience (that's what I've noticed in an hour of play) still cutting in and out under 1.04. Thought it might be VOP but even with VOP disabled, it's still happening.

    EDIT ** Tested with and without other addons and it's still happening. I notice whenever there is Thunder during a storm, it cuts out reloading, footsteps and other ambient sound to a far greater extent than it does under normal weather conditions.

    EDIT #2 ** This seems directly related to a lot of ambient sound and is easily reproducable by setting the weather settings to storm (thunder). Whenever there is Thunder, other sounds start to cut out. This is the easiest way to reproduce it although it happens in other scenarios as well to a lesser extent.

    IMHO, the XAudio2 engine is a total bag of shite. They should have stayed with the hardware sound engine from A1/OFP.

    Eth

    man thats a mess

    as stated elswhere my sound does not have these issues... location/directional/distance delay etc all seem as they should, I do have the heli startup bug

    I can track unseen vehicles, shooters, MG positions while navigating/changing direction moving through a village or town.

    I use soundmax driver software with stereo headphones.

    Alex I dont know what else to tell you but that does not happen when I play (online only)

    I only have the heli startup issue

    I have played an SP mission to test this and if I have an explosion, MG, or rifleman to my front and I turn to the right the sounds stay where they should.

    I can turn full circle and the sounds moves around relative to my heading.

    I hear the sonic crack then the shot and there is a reasonable delay to sounds and visuals when distance is greater.

    I am using soundmax driver software and I have stereo headphones.

    guess I am saying the issues are there for a lot of players but not all...
