Well at the end of the day celebrities are people too and have the same hobbies as anyone. Another well-known celebrity gamer is Vin Diesel.

For some reason the orange trees and bushes only drop my performance if AA is turned on. All the other foliage is fine.
-
What do you have your settings on? Make sure your view distance isn't too high, that's probably the #1 performance killer. I see people complain about performance and it turns out they're playing with 10000 view distance.

Sometimes when I'm playing my guy will do a quick side-step but I cant figure out what causes it. I didn't see anything in the controls, I've tried double tapping left and right but that didn't work. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and how to do it?

There is a small FPS hit but it's worth it for the big visual improvement especially from the air. I have the game running at 1280x1024 with low AA, very high AF, normal textures, low terrain detail, normal object detail, post processing off, view distance 2015. Average FPS was about 50-60 in the air if I wasn't near a huge town like Cherno, on the ground in Cherno FPS was around 25-30.

Are you patched to 1.03?
-
Word of mouth probably wont help either. ArmA 2 has too many bugs and performance problems for most people to handle. Although I love the game I wont recommend it to any of my friends because I know they'd get frustrated with it. Dragon Rising will appeal to more people because of the advertising and because it will probably be far more accessible to the average gamer.

I've noticed sometimes if I go back and forth in the server browser it will glitch and only show a few servers. Not sure if it's the same problem you have, usually I fix it by logging off the game for a few minutes or restarting my computer.

I can remember my friend and I using Oddjob in Goldeneye to pull this kind of thing.
-
A few good ones I've played are 15th MEU, 7th Cav, SPARTA, 20th Special Forces. Old Farts is good but I've only seen it populated one time.
-
If I remember correctly they're down a hill northwest of where you get the objective to find them. Listen for the sound of trucks and try putting terrain detail on "very low" to turn off grass and make them easier to spot.

I remember seeing that evil Santa years ago, here's a higher quality picture

Here's one without the joint, probably the original version

I didnt go trough whole thread to see if this has been mentioned becouse its too long. So, when I use only weapon sounds I have problems connecting to servers like there wouldnt be a key even if there is one. Whats up with that? Is there a trick I dont know of?You might need to download the repack version, look for it a few pages back.

I like it. It might be annoying to the pilots but I think it's pretty awesome to be in a fully loaded helicopter and get hit by a missile out of nowhere, it just kind of adds a sense of fear that you can be shot down at any time. If the pilot is good he can autorotate the helicopter to safety. I agree about adding flares though.

Probably some fictional island in the Adriatic.

Windows 7 64 bit
I think Patch 1.03 MIGHT have improved my performance especially in large towns like Chernogorsk. I can also now enable low AA without an insane drop in FPS. I say MIGHT because I also noticed recently (within the last two days) Windows Update installed the new version of AMD dual core optimizer and DX 11...those could be the cause of my increased performance.
-
Ok this is weird. THe fps drop to 25 in campaign so I turned AA back off. Now I have 54 fps in the woods. I'm at the Napa base on the Delaying the bear mission.Weird.
How is that weird? Why wouldn't turning AA off increase performance...
-
Sucks that it doesn't work for you but the game works for most people. Maybe you have a driver problem or something is messed up in your OS, try upgrading to Windows 7.
-
Thanks for your reply.I tried that. However that doesn't always work. Example (just tested with 2 APCs and 2Urals): It did select two APCs, but it wouldn't select the 2 Urals. I don't know why. The pilot did 3 fly overs.
I just tried this myself and had the same results. I don't know if it's a bug or intentional but it seems anything in the cars category cant be locked on by a hellfire with Tab, only by centering the crosshair on the vehicle and right-clicking. I don't remember having this problem in 1.02.
-edit- helicopter guns are also changed or bugged. Gunners are automatically targeting things even if you have manual fire turned on, and you can no longer Tab-target cars when the gun is selected.

I will be upgrading to Win 7 in October. 64 bit, and utilizes all my ram. Can`t wait.ArmA 2 doesn't use more than 2 gigs of ram no matter how much you have.

I have had problems running Arma2 at my system.My specs= 3,2g X4 955 black edition, 4 gig ram, two ati 4870 1gb, windows xp professional 32 bit.
Running my cards crossfire made my screen have the sunflickering all the time.
Playing with 1 card made artifacts specially in cities.
I dicided to install windows 7 64bit version.
Also by having that installing direct x 11.
All i can say is.... WOW !
The difference is HUGE !
Game looks perfect, no artifacts, great FPS everywhere.
My cards are running crossfire perfectly
So, people who are still having problems, downloading and installing windows 7 with perhaps direct x 11 is a great try!
It solved all my problems

Now that you mention it I just noticed Windows 7 did an automatic update with DX11 and the new version of AMD dual core optimizer. I'm getting way better performance now, even when playing online Chernogorsk with a bunch of AI doesn't run bad anymore.
-
The only bug I've noticed in 1.03 is sometimes the sound cuts out or gets fuzzy. I think it's worth it to download, especially if you play online. Lag and desyncs seem to be a lot less frequent now.
-
Some servers also force you to choose pilot as your class.

randir14,This sounds like a good server. Do you remember the server name, web site, etc?
No, I wish I did. The only thing I remember is one of the helicopter pilots was named Sci. Maybe someone else will recognize this and know the name of the server I was on.
need some monitor help.

The monitor is probably dying. I'm on a crappy one myself, fuzzy image with a slight pink hue, lol. Also make sure you don't have anything magnetic nearby.
