    Got the game on friday, it's great, have it's faults but it WILL get sorted out in the next few weeks. Everbody must just relax and give BIS a bit of time to fix the problems! All this bitching an moanung isnt helping.

    I disagree, they wouldn't know how wide spread issues were without people complaining. But your right people need to relax and wait the cursing etc certainly doesn't help. Nor does Bohemia calling customers morons.

    All he's saying is that it "could" be the end users fault, and from going over the troubleshooting forums you can see that in many cases it is.

    It could also be BIS' fault, or nVidia's, or ATi's, or Creatives, or Microsofts, or the pope's, but unless you know what the problem is and exactly what will fix it, then it's hard to say for sure.

    Better not blame the pope that might just open a whole new debate:p

    read: ...it could be your fault...

    I'm not here to start a "war" either. Both "sides" may have their reasons to post their opinions. I take it like it is. Anyhow, this is my last statement to threads like this. - for now.

    I dont want a war either, but saying it could be the end users fault when it clearly isnt is going a bit far.

    Im sure the ranting gets annoying but you have to see it from our eyes, we expect a game to just "work" not fidling around for ages or waiting for patches to sort it out before we can have an enjoyable experience. Maybe this is the norm for you but when i buy something i expect it to just work out of the box.

    Trust me - thats not the only advertisement you are falling for. All you had to do in this case was to wait for the demo and see at least a bit of the game for yourself in the demo before buying it. As I've written before, gather informations around the i-net, magazines, tv, play the demo and if possible try to get a close look at the object of desire for yourself before making any decision. You are living in a modern globalized world with informations over informations, so it could be your fault aswell.

    How exactly is it my fault the game is not as advertised to me and many others?

    How is it my fault the game is buggy?

    Why should i have to research a game to find out if its playable? Are you being serious? I've never had to research a game to see if it was playable and not destroyed by game breaking bugs.

    I did play the demo and thats why i bought it. The demo ran ok of what i played on it.

    Your view it seems is if theres any problems its the users fault? I've tried all the so called fixes etc they dont work. So the problem is on BI's side as far as im concerned.

    would be very helpful advertisement, don't you think :annoy:

    It would only be the truth. If i knew the game would be buggy as hell before i bought it i would have avoided it. But all the advertisement shown was great looking bug free simulation fun.

    And i obviously didn't see what i expected. Very disappointing.

    I love the game, but it has some severe optimization issues at the moment. There was a comment in this thread that stated we should not expect a bug-free game like Crysis or COD, that is just a ignorant statement. That's exactly what I expect, and its what they should expect from themselves. As a company your reputation is built upon the quality of your product AND the SERVICE you offer. The community and the mods here should take that into consideration when comments are being made. While you are far from the top of the BIS food chain, you are a part of it. A part that can directly affect a newcomers decision to join or stay within this community. As fans of a very small genre, we should ALL take the time to be courteous and helpful to those who have issues, and BIS devs should be hard at work eliminating the issues that were overlooked to passed over upon release.

    I am a longtime fan of the original OFP like a lot of the population on these forums. I am well aware that OFP was far from perfect when it was released as well. But given those experiences we all should be understanding of what SOME of the people here are going through.

    This is a post to be admired.

    As a new comer myself. I'm pretty shocked how the longer term players look at us. Seeing as this is our first glimpse at the game and genre and they think we should accept the issues that come with it as its a normal BI thing.

    If someone posts something which is clearly insulting to other members and will be dealt with by a moderator, do not quote them and or reply to them thank you, report the post, ignore them, move on, by quoting and replying you're just creating extra work for moderators who are already heavily over worked due to the influx of morons of late.

    Calling their own customers morons. How professional.

    Perhaps if Bohemia didn't release such a buggy game there wouldn't be so many "morons" posting complaints. You should have added the following bullet points to your list to sell the game.

    1. Buggy as hell, like ALL of our previous games
    2. You will have to troubleshoot your issues yourself even if its issues with the game that you cant fix
    3. Moderators will disrespect you
    4. 50% chance to run the game as it should without crashes or performance issues even on high quality computers

    Customers have every right to be angry, particularly when a BI representative on their forums are calling their very own customers morons.

    Yep, this is one of the reasons why I for the last 7 year have bought standardized(?) computers from big companies like Dell when I have bought a new one and will do so on.

    But people rather blame the game for something that is their computers fault.

    -The game is crap

    -no your computer are

    Personally I think the vibe on the forum with the release of ARMAII is so

    the opposite then when ARMA1 was released. Remember those days? Omg :)

    Thats the reason i stopped buying from dell/hp/toshiba/acer etc. They come with far to much bloatware.. I think you will find people that build up their own pc are a bit more knowledgeable than those that go into PCworld and take the one that looks the shiniest.

    Damn you Balschoiw. I was chasing that fly you have as a signature. I thought it was real :P Im like wtf!! why wont it die. :D

    Lol i done the same when i saw it.

    @op

    I'm new to Arma and this is the 1st BI game i have bought and probably the last because of all the hassle. People including myself are rightfully complaining because they have bought a broken/unfinished product. This is the only game I've bought that I've had such game breaking issues with. The graphics are not brilliant, the AI are nothing special so its hard to understand why the performance is so bad. I'm guessing this is why the game isn't that popular as i read the first Arma was exactly the same.

    I could easily go on ranting about the issues but whats the point? Its not going to fix anything and the endless whining will continue for and against BI.

    intel quadcore

    geforce 9800 gtx

    windows xp sp 3

    4gb ram

    Got pretty much same as your comp, game is playable but its borderline (15-25fps). And for people saying turn settings down, it actually doesn't make much if any difference between setting it to high or low! :smash:

    That said.. i tried some multiplayer other night and got 60fps at start, i read some post other day that said when more AI is present the game uses LESS of your cpu than it does when theres lots of AI :S looks true..weird.

    Anyways i hope theres a nice patch coming soon, id like to play threw the single player without having to skip some missions. Also the choices i saw werent really choices.. kept looping back till i chose the one they wanted me to choose.

    Also the last mission had a tendency to crash every time i tried to save game lol. I want to hate this game as it really drives me up the wall but i just.......like the game.

    You should try some multiplayer and see if you get better fps like i did:P

    binkster just looked at your post about armatest thing i have a score almost same as your first one, 3211.8 Might take plunge tomorrow and install xp. its only a reinstall away i suppose. Hopefully wont have to reinstall arma2 as its on another partition.

    Just tried it on xp, got 3454.56 not a huge improvement but improvement is improvement none the less.

    *edit*

    make that 3719.99 with a slight GPU overclock:D

    I have same issue, regardless of settings fps 20-30, dont have a monster pc like some but it does the job for most games i play.

    Core 2 Quad Q6600 (oc to 3ghz)

    4gb 800mhz ddr2

    GeForce 9800 GTX+

    Win 7 64bit

    I had the same problem with Warhammer online. Wonder if its related, was never able to sort it out and thus gave up on that game, hope it doesnt come to it on this one as i'm really enjoying the game even with some irritating bugs and not knowing how to do certain things :p

    And the tank flipping 360 degrees forward when going over a small stone is awesome :p

    Hi, i did make a thread but didnt get an answer. Hopefully you can help.

    How do you give your team ammo/new weapons(if you can)?

    Can you give them weapons off dead soldiers? If so how?

    Ive tried forum search/google search and even read the manual but doesnt help.

    So far only way to rearm has been from the base via the menu refuel,rearm, heal(or something along those lines)

    Thanks in advance:D

    Getting quite frustrated now. Such a simple thing is beyond me and it's quickly draining my desire to play. I'm not ready for MP yet (which apparently doesn't really work anyway) so I'm relying on this SP campaign. Needs fixed quickly.

    Oh, and the supply trucks constantly driving in circles and trying to flatten my squad is wearing incredibly thin too.

    Does team switch "pressing T" work for you now? i know it did in first few missions but i never needed it and now i do it doesnt work.

    I get other bugs also like not being able to move, team running in circles, team getting stuck on vehicles when walking bast them etc..

    Oh forgot one, killing same enamy twice as he got up after i killed him :P

    You can still buy ammo in the mission, but the whole warfare/buying thing isn't the sort of the concept I would want as part of a single player campagin.

    The mission bugs also are really an undesirable factor that the detract from the enjoyment experienced in the earlier missions.

    I'm going to wait for the upcoming patches to address Badland's problems, in the meantime I'm having heaps of fun in the editor. :)

    Even if you exclude the buying concept the enemy soldiers you kill carry plenty. I can easily loot them for myself taking whatever weapon complete with ammo, but how do i give that to my team is what i want to know.

    Its a little dissapointing that such a small thing is so difficult.
