I have one but after I installed it, I get a critical error everytime I try to play this game with it. Error as follows; "Module: C:\Windows\Gm2500\GM2500F32.dll". The game either will not load or will crash after loading splash menu. It will only work after I disconnect the controller's USB cable.

Does the beta patch work with steam versions? The crackling is starting to really piss me off. -- FRACK!!!, it doesnt :(

Note: The demo is on a much smaller island called Utes, the full game has the vast countryside of Chernarus which is much more cpu/gpu intensive.

Many scopes are adjustable. A single scope can have 4x-18x magnification and thensome (even higher than 32x). I guess in the game, its a feature for the designated marksman...The DMR, SPR, and M107 all do it, however the M24 doesnt.

I doubt you'll spend much time in SP since it's fubar. But the editor and MP is where this game really shines. Also, read as much as this as you can and you should be fit to fight in no time. http://ttp2.dslyecxi.com

Does anyone else notice an odd noise sometimes. It sounds like a needle skipping on a record player. It's not constant but I usually hear it when reloading...

From Steam update page.

Just messing around with some satchel charges...:D <object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=su0yTKzddY0&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=su0yTKzddY0&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>

Yes, it sucks being shot through vegetation However, it makes sense to have it this way in most situations...but only if they spot you and dont track your movements unless you give them a visual target.

I dont know about Utes, but Chernarus was designed from satellite imagery of České Středohoří.

edit - fixt

Did the trucks go through battle? Fuel tanks can be shot and start leaking... Other than that, there shouldnt be any reason for the terrible MPG you're getting.

did you pirate the game?

Yah, kinda shitty. :mad:

Considering the retail version of Arma II didnt hit shelves until a few weeks after steam released...I'm glad I bought it on steam. Also, the patch worked the 1st time for me, tho it did take a few hours.:o

Steam isnt doing anything...cant get the patch. :(

Word...we just finished a JointOp with 3rdID in Flyswatter, with a huge emphasis on teamwork. Check our site for the vids, or search "JointOp Flyswatter Pt1-13" on youtube to see.

The problem lies in how far draw distance on grass is. Any encounters under that distance will result in what people are trying to prove here, that the AI is indeed hindered by foliage until they spot you. I've been shot through bushes enough to know there is a problem with the AI and the alleged x-ray vision, just maybe not until they are aware of your presence. However encounters past the grass draw distance results in the AI seeing a perfectly flat landscape with no grass and a lone soldier laying there easily identifiable, the same thing can be seen by the player (the AI out in the open with no grass).

It's not like they can run 10000m without stopping or anything. Oh wait.... It doesnt bother me that much, even after running for awhile...they regain composure relatively quickly.

If you are on a laptop then, unless its for gaming...you are out of luck. You'll need to upgrade, probably to a desktop to run this game the way its supposed to run.

Awesome, I hope its found...or updated for the ArmAII engine. It would make the explosions look so much better, and having the fire spread would be icing on the cake. Imagine, during a night mission, one laser-designator team with a few fastmovers ready to reduce a town to flames and rubble. To hell with civilian morale.

It will not help you with FPS, that's for sure. Maybe the sound, but most onboard HD audio cards sound fine.

I'm in the air every chance I get. AV8B ownage :D But yes, after I clear out a town of all armor and soft targets...it can get boring. But I just RTB and wait for when the team needs my assistance again. Hell, i may even warp to the frontlines just to get it moving faster.

Why stop there? Firing from the hip??? Sure!!! Why not. Then lets get the SideShooter in there... ** Or the Akimbo 'FlyinLo' Rambo... ** Don't forget the infamous OneHander... ** Point is, there are highly trained militaries and poorly trained militaries. Unless you are playing as the Insurgents, you shouldnt ever need to spray from the hip in combat...you shouldnt have to since you have a team to cover your advance. Its pretty much all been said already. **-No racism intended.

I have everything set to Very High except for AA, with visibility just over 5000. Some textures still do this too, it really breaks the look this game is trying to create. I'm still getting great FPS, so I know my rig could handle all textures at the same detail.
