firewalls slowing down your computer? I thought was just either or on that one. It stops ur connection or doesn't. Anyways agree that this is a known problem and has been since release. The fact that bohemia has not bothered to fix it or even inform the community that its a serious issue is weak. Just jumped on the forums to see if they fixed this problem after a year or so of waiting....judging by the threads i've replied to I am in for disappointment.

bit of a necro here, but yeah...this is actually normal operation for this game. I posted a thread about this a year after I ragequit the game because of said problem. The first 30 or so ppl replied flaming that the problem was due to my pc, connection etc....then people started chiming in saying yeah that just happens. Never heard from 1 developer... My advice...wait for battlefield 3. It will be the 1st all encompassing strategic FPS since battlefield 2.

an impressive rage, however i find your logic flawed. When it comes to military simulators there really is no other option than arma2. America's army 3 is just sooo terrible etc. Really the closest comparison are other large scale FPS games...battlefield2 being one of the most popular examples. nobody is really debating the quality of either game here. Both games have their + and -, but are different in that one is technically a military simulator...thou I have to say. In the real world, enemies don't warp because this isn't startrek...its 2010.:butbut:

i just throw that stuff in about the game -->>>toilet to piss folks off like you. I don't honestly take this issue that seriously, I just wan't it to be fixed sometime this year so that I can play the best military simulator I have ever seen...without constant lagathon. Believe it or not, in some game forums developers do actually respond to reasonable suggestions ; however I think my query became unreasonable during one of my colorful rage sessions on the 1st page of this thread. In the end, I only spent $50 maybe on the game. Its the company thats losing thousands if not millions on potential sales here. Im making a suggestion for the company and thats all. Again, I won't argue that the scale of the game is what sets it apart from games like battlefield. Obviously I enjoy playing battlefield, but would love arma2 10x more if they just fixed the warpathon. I think the controls are great, graphics are excellent, the amount of equipment and vehicles is perhaps excessive, but still awesome, the coop gameplay is great 2 all except for the warping and lag.

no no, I love the scale of the game. I just don't think we should have to sacrifice connection speed for game scale. I was hoping the scale of the game would be more an issue for the PC hardware itself and not my connection...it seems like an easy fix is all. of course you guys agree with the guy that loves arma and not me. I'm an avid arma hater...perhaps more a rarity on this forum than the arma lover. You can bet ur on ur life I will be playing battlefield 3 when it comes out. Unfortunately I can not regress to battlefield 2 like graphics at this point. I'm just 2 spoiled with these other beautiful games that have been coming out. Altogether though you guys are missing the point big time. I'm looking for developers or someone who can do something about this to respond. I have no interested in arguing with those of you who already find the obviously buggy game, just dandy. Since starting this thread I have come across several other threads that share the same viewpoint, so I won't have any of this "go back to battlefield" noobery. In particular I love the thread titled "multiplayer...is this a joke?" lolz. *raging session completed*

Throw the baby with the towel? not sure thats english. "Immediate rant" yes please. Battlefield 2 had huge maps and was extremely fun to play because there was 0 lag. Sure, maps are not the size of some random 3rd world country with sparsely populated towns, but it was enough to simulate all aspects of warfare neatly. as stated before, breathtaking innovation and arma2 do not belong in the same sentence. I understand the scale of the game is a secondary cause of the terrible warping and lag, but as stated before, I would much rather scale that down a bit and deal with smooth game play. (primary cause being terrible coding and some sort of server side load down.) additionally I realize no other game has attempted this scale of map, but that doesn't give it an excuse to be terrible a year after being released. speaking of delayed patching...I have never played an mmo that lags as bad as arma unless a "patch" has just been released and things are a bit buggy while adjustments are made. please note that I did mention Arma2 would be the best game ever made were they to fix the multiplayer warping. So feel free not to comment on how awesome the scale of the game is or things like this because I agree with you. until this is fixed...set a course for certain failure number 2....warp 9...ENGAGE!

I have noticed that warping occurs regardless of good or bad ping. 15 players and all good ping. Still boars are skipping around like that teleport monster from fear. Ive read that it is because of a "server side hardware load" before, but I really don't care. I just want it fixed. The fact is every other game ever made does not have this issue...why does arma. I mean, if the game cost me $20 instead of $50 maybe I could expect half of a developed game, but no...This is at least a year after release and multiplayer is a joke as another thread states.

yaya...why it gotta do that :D I have played this game on 3mbps cable, 16mbps and 20mbps. All servers within my region and always lag.

:}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Arma2 and technological marvel do not belong in the same sentence. If I could sacrifice the oblivion like landscape for an enemy I can aim at...I would do it, but then we would have Call of Duty. *kicks nearest boar that walks by*

So I have read a few threads that speak about the ancientness of arma's coding and I understand why it happens. what I don't understand is why it is not fixed yet. THIS game is absolutely amazing. Why have the developers still not fixed the lagging/warping thing though. There are only 1-3 servers that I might be able to join here in the east coast USA and they ALL lag unbearably. I think its hilarious that anyone would want to deal with such lag. please fix this? Tired of ADD games like COD and bfbc2... ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS FIX THE NETCODE. I think I bought this game over a year ago now and still can't play multiplayer. Don't even get me started on single player. $50 --->toilet

Indeed his query lacked depth, however he is correct. The AI can be reallllly odd at times mainly team members. More specifically they take forever to follow through with orders. Often they become confused in vehicles and start driving random places. Mainly I need the receiving bug to be fixed as well as the various texture detail problems...I can't play the game multiplayer... A prompt patch mainly addressing these errors may just satisfy thousands of customers.

obviously a cd key was required to find out that multiplayer was completely dysfunctional. I can not return the game to store. What a steal! This game seems neat, but does not function at all on release with a patch. I have NEVER had that happen before in 10 yrs or so. 505 contacted. *crickets* updates 2 come....

affirmative also on my setup..

one of those links takes me to the ARMA II website.... the other link takes me to a thread that DOES NOT tell me how to get my money back for this game. How do I return this game to you for my $50.
