My post in the other sub-forum got closed so though I'd post it here. HardOCP has benchmarked the new HD 5870 with ARMA II and has some impressive results. 12xAA on Very High settings with an average framerate of 36.6. http://www.hardocp.com/article/2009/09/22/amds_ati_radeon_hd_5870_video_card_review

Follow the link for some tests of the new Radeon card. Looks great for ARMA II! 36.6 FPS Average with Very High settings and decent visibility range (1600)! http://www.hardocp.com/article/2009/09/22/amds_ati_radeon_hd_5870_video_card_review/8

As a strictly SP only player, this looks great. Hopefully there will be even more mini-campaigns created like this!

I set mine to 4. Not sure if this is supposed to be a value, but 4 seems to have made a difference to me. I haven't done any real testing using FRAPS and only played about 30 minutes with 1.04.

It fixed my mouse smoothing problem so it's a go for me. Also, the -cpucount switch for the command line has smoothed out the FPS for me. I play exclusively SP and would recommend it to you.

Thanks BIS for working on the problems we are describing. As the patches keep coming out I'm having less and less issues and have begun playing again. The Mouse Smoothing issue, which was one of my major beefs is fixed now and my performance seems to have improved with the -cpucount switch in the command line. My beefs/recommendations that remain: 1) Multi-GPU support (other than the -winxp switch) 2) AA that smooths the trees 3) Command menu similar to BF2/BF2142/ARMA (something better than the abomination we are using now) 4) Squad AI that doesn't run halfway across the map chasing a target without being told to and then taking an eon to come back. Thanks for your hard work and keep it up.

I'm shelving the game not just for technical issues but for gameplay issues as well... It's just too damn frustrating... And I spend too much time tweaking FSX and playing LOMAC and BS to give this game it's fair share of time. Get hot BIS, and I'll be back. Although I'm sure you won't miss me...

You need to enable the TrackIR in the control settings of ARMA 2... Yep, its that easy. And mine works without using compatibility mode and just run as administrator ticked on.

Speaking from experience? It's like being a Submarine ET and being called a Nuke... also causes 'unpleasantness'

I agree with the above poster that state you should have added a "I don't experience Mouse Lag" The main reason being I don't experience mouse lag! The fix that has worked for me; - Force V-Sync OFF in ATi Tray Tools/nHancer - Increase Mouse DPI to Max (2000 DPI on my Copperhead) - Decrease Mouse Sensitivity In-Game to meet needs. Hope this helps anyone who hasn't tried it!

Those Halos are a form of Target Marking used in the Recruit difficulty level or if you manually turn them on in the custom difficulty settings. Play on Regular or turn them off manually to rid yourself of them. It's that simple!

Trying to blow away Kilrathi and defend the Tiger's Claw! Hell Yeah! In regards to this thread I knew what I was getting into. This thread wasn't created so people could argue, I was just presenting a viewpoint on the state of the ARMA 2 Community when it comes to playing the game... To those who cannot achieve good FPS I hope that someday you will be able to enjoy the game like those few of us who do now.

I have had to contact D2D support (with a completely different SUPPORT account of course because they can't seem to use one account for the same thing) about activating SupCom three times and Silent Hunter 4 Uboat Missions expansion twice. I'm so sick of it that I will never buy ANYTHING from D2D again! I do not recommend it, their DRM SUCKS! You might as well go out and buy Rise of Flight (check out the diminishing sales DRM that the developer used for that game!).

Couldn't agree with you more about FSX... it's very true that FPS do not matter as much in flying an aircraft as in a firefight (although you could argue that having less than 20 FPS bringing a 747 in for a landing in a 30kt crosswind in zero visibility is like combat...) I think FPS's need good FPS's (I know, I'm not clever...). I play them all, much like you do it sounds, and I will agree that trying to play Crysis, Fear, L4D, TF2, Stalker (one of my favs), etc at less than 30 FPS SUCKS! But how about we stop arguing and get back to playing eh?

At no point did I attack anyone... I'm simply trying to help people enjoy their game they spent hard earned money on... geez man take it easy! I haven't checked my FPS but on my system listed in my sig it runs plenty good enough to play it... I just don't base my enjoyment on a Framerate counter... Try it sometime bro!
