    @skypine27

    FYI with a system like urs I think you made a mistake using the Green WD drives.

    With specs a bit below yours I built identical rigs for my Bro and one for me... mine had WD Black drives and his had the Greens we chose Raid0 for both builds but had to send the Green drives back as they caused stutters in games and streaming video.

    If you search the net you will find they are a very poor choice for a top end rig like yours.

    if you are an experienced user you can disregard this post...

    sounds like a conflict with another bind... does it have any red letters or other binds for that key in the mapping window? as I think it has a default zoom bind which requires a hold on the key press to zoom... that would explain why it wont work for full auto fire...

    to test make sure that you only have that action bound to that key and no others by deleting all other binds for that key.

    that said I have noticed some strange key mapping behaviour in A2... definately not perfect.

    About the number of cores being utilised, the fact is that this game supposedly supports multicore when in fact it only supports Dual core, why not add Quad support too? Your point about gamers being better off with Dual Core chips is only really relevant when the application has no Multicore support at all. If an app supports multicore the Quad should shine.

    I am not sure how you are monitoring CPU utilisation but my Q6600 runs at 80% - 90% on all 4 cores while in game in Arma2 XPSP3 32

    I was not there so am only guessing....

    he could have done a number of things such as:

    dload a nocd crack which replaces the genuine exe file

    he could have tried some game file editing

    he could have made a cd image that is loaded with virtual drive software.

    Personally I have found that in cases like yours it is often just easier to delete all traces of the program using good cleaner software and/or reloading vga drivers.

    If you cant use or find the cleaner software or are not happy to edit your registry etc reinstall the game over the install that is there it may replace /fix any files that are screwed or missing.

    hope this helps good luck.

    ps I have seen and heard this "pc expert" story so many times

    well I have only just bought the CD after messing with demo for quite some time.

    I have been lurking here since A2 demo came out.

    I did not play A1

    Anyone that does not think this game/sim is monumental is completely missing the point.

    To compare it with the usual Crytec/COD is apple/oranges

    I played COD4 for about an hour and have not missed it.

    Have come over from AA2 online/Falcon4

    This game is so complex it cant possible be complete or 100% bug free.

    I have not had any major bugs or probs yet

    but I expect to get them in time.

    I can live with some to get what this game can give.....

    I cant wait to DL some of the missions and mess with Editor etc

    ps I have a mid range rig...game runs ok with most settings high, no post proc. all 4 cpu run up around 80%

    Q6600 @ 3ghz

    @urbanwarrior mate all I can say is either you have a bad pc or your settings are all wrong... the demo I downloaded is pretty good I have quick response to KB and mouse input on mid to high settings.

    All with no tweaking I am sure I will be able to get it looking even better.

    NME AI may be a bit dumb but not as dumb as Friendly AI... MY TEAM KEEP SHOOTING ME!!!!!!!

    I have restarted mission many times but after beach landing upto houses after while my own team will kill me even at close range.

    Anyone else had this happen? I cannot play because they target me... am I missing something?

    It is so laggy and stuttering as to be no good unless I stay out of action mode...
