Hey guys, I'm in the middle of this mission, and after investigating all the clue points (starting from the most southern and working north), still haven't a clue as to where to find batrak or lototev. There are no more points to go to, since I checked all three. Now what do I do lol?

I think the Q6600 @ 3.7 is definetly helping you out. I run the same cpu (G0 stepping), stock cooling, at 2.7 ghz, 6gb ddr2-800mhz, GTX295, Win 7 64 bit and get around 20-40 FPS in single player, muliplayer is much better performing almost never going below 30 at any time. Seriously thinking about purchasing a zalman cooler or something for my q6600 and see what i can get stable. ---------- Post added at 02:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 AM ---------- Forgot to add the strangest thing, even if I lower settings, doesn't change performance at all, still same fps and that goes for all 3d resolution options, even tried at 800x600 still same lowish fps. Probably just need to crank the cpu, but not sure.

Q6600 @ 2.7, 6GB DDR2800, GTX 295, same deal, 19-38 FPS in campaign mode no matter what setting, etc. Hopefully a patch will work it out, seems to be CPU related. Some report better performance on XP.

I get pretty poor performance as well, GTX 295, Q6600 @ 2.7 ghz, 6gb ddr2-800. Only scores an 1800 arma2mark, around 25 fps in game no matter what I do. found tweaking with nhancer to be the best route for me, but still much to be desired. Even alot of ppl with i7s are having issues.

Wow, my system only scored 1790, 1920x1200 2x AA, settings mostly very high/post processing off. Q6600 @ 2.7 ghz 6gb DDR2 800 GTX 295 P6n Diamond 680i SLI Creative Xfi Xtreme Audio Win 7 64 Seems very low...

Yeah, I was just watching the military channel bit on the apache longbow and they clearly said it was fire and forget, and it could fire all missiles at once or a single.

I ordered trackir5+clip using the discount today.

To owners of trackir5, was it worth the money? Really thinking about getting the trackir5+pro clip with the 20$ discount.

How did you test stability for your cpu overclock? I recommend using Prime95 and running that at least for a few hours if not overnight to test stability. Like was said, Arma 2 stresses all 4 cores of a quad pretty nicely, so ur 'stable' oc may have just not received the proper due dilligence in terms of testing.

I guess if i want to obtain all objectives I have to restart, since I got the 20 minute warning that Bardak is headed for the border in a red hatchback, so now im just looking for him betweek Gorka and Stryakaboocoxcosodkvnov (sp) using the chopper. PS I love this game, as it doesn't hold the gamer's hand at all like alot of games which are too easy.

Yeah I guess there are different paths to this mission, in my path it just skipped to capturing Bardak, if I talked to everyone i could've got both objectives but as of now if I understand correctly bardak must be brought in within 20 minutes or the mission ends...that's pretty intense going to have fun finding him. Wonder if I should use the chopper and try to spot his car, then set up a roadblock...anyway gave up for tonight but seems like a pretty tough objective.

I kind of figured it was Vyshnoye since thats the only town in the area that starts with a V lol. I never did ask Dressler about that town btw, I skipped all extra questions if I remember correctly. Anyway why do u say catching Bardak is a different story? Is it bugged or something?

Lol I dont know why but it cencors the name of the town. Anyway I did get the 20 minute message just mucking around, and I'm looking for his red hatchback between Gorka and the other town.

I spoke with Dressler, who hilited the markers, haven't spoken to anyone else. And for some reason the forum is censoring V********, can someone type it out with spaces?

Hmm, maybe it's worth a reinstall of XP to see if arma 2 performs better, only have the x32 version tho.

Odd, for me the view distances are pretty vast and breathtaking when set to max. IMO it wouldn't be realistic to have that far of a view distance...

I'm pretty sure it's just the weather. Sometimes it's overcast/grey skies. Maybe post a pic?

I used ur tweak since I'm running the steam version as well and noticed an improvement! I'm also running a GTX 295, cpu is a [email protected] ghz, and 6gb DDR2 800 RAM on Win 7 RC. My question is i enabled the sli load graph, and selected on, but i dont see how to tell if SLI is enabled or not, how do I check? edit: nevermind got it working. Looks like SLI is working, but perhaps not as much as it should, since both green bars only fill in about 50% max. Is this normal?

Since you're on socket 775 I would get one of the better dual cores. I use a Q6600 and though it's a great CPU, it's acting as a dual core in most games. Not Arma 2, however, it uses all 4 cores 60%-90% depending on what's going on. I still think a well overclocked (and properly cooled) dual core or newer i7 is the way to go now.

For me, when I set shadows normal, they get all blocky and misshapen. High/Very high and they look completely normal. Seems like there's no change in FPS though, maybe I gain like 1-2 FPS by turning shadows off completely.

For me, I'll update the landing and the pilot still goes and crashes into the unsafe LZ. :( Maybe I'm doing it too late or something, I'll mess around with it some more. I guess I'm doing the right thing if it's just 8, 4, 1, 1.

I guess my question was overlooked...is there any way to cancel the current drop off location and reassign it somewhere else? I try 8, 4, 1, 1 on a safe area but the transport pilot always attempts to land in the unsafe LZ first, causing a mission failure or at best I lose the chopper support. There is way too much ground to cover in mission 5 for me to foot it, would appreciate any help, thanks.
