ICE-Raver

It's been about 4 or 5 months since I've played it I think.

I haven't played Arma 2 in quite some time but I am thinking about getting Arrowhead and giving it another go. Should I expect a more optimized game or more of the same?

I was looking at this game pretty closely but the you tube videos kinda turned me off. You say it's really good though?

This game is tons of fun. I can't wait to start pwn'n noobs.

I love multicam. Use it in airsoft matches all the time. It is by far better than anything else I have seen in the fields where I play. (Southern US woodland) PS: All the jabs at airsoft in this thread are silly. Just because airsofters use it doesn't mean it isn't good. We "airsoft kiddies" (I am in my 30's btw) wear every kind of camo known to man. Even Period stuff from WWI II etc. Does that make all the other camo lame?

The way I see it those guys owe me 39 bucks. They can keep it.

I completely uninstalled and re-installed. Then i applied only the patch and hopped in game. I really have no idea what is happening but it has something to do with my graphics cards I think. Before I could run this game with everything on very high 1680 x 1050 with good FPS. Now if I turn everything up I get single digit FPS. If I turn everything to normal, with PP off I only get like 35 fps. Just turning shadows up makes my fps go into the teens. In any case, I'm kinda at a loss now. I wish the game still had arma mark so I could run some tests with that to compare against what I used to get.

The places I play are private land. No worries about law shooing you. And as far as eye protection goes every place I have played requires a special rated goggle that is fully sealed. No eyeglasses or shooting glasses permitted. Just to be safe I test my goggles point blank when I get new pairs. ---------- Post added at 06:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 PM ---------- I sub a guy on you tube that has tons and tons of airsoft vids. Their Euro's and some of them use dodgy eye protection IMO, but he has a lot of really cool videos.

Beat it already. It was a worthy sucessor. During the ending I lost jack. Then I played again and didn't lose anyone. I played the ending both ways to see what happened as well.

I'm using Nvidia 196.21 drivers and I installed them a couple of weeks ago. The problem only started last night. I played the game some as 1.04 last night and everything ran good. Then I installed the patch and the problems began. I don't know about the W7 Reliability update. I don't remember ever installing that. I have not tried windowed mode. I have not tried any switches. ---------- Post added at 06:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 PM ---------- I did get an error but not during the patch install. When I tried to install the hotfix for the mission it basically froze up when I tried to install that. I ended the task with task manager and put the file in Arma 2 directory manually.

LOL. I just noticed that pause on trackir is default F9 which is the same key for start/stop record on fraps. facepalm

Here are a few pics of a milsim event that I attended at Ft. Hood Texas recently. It used 2 of the 3 Ft. Hood MOUT sites for play. They are basically mock versions of middle eastern towns. It is a Lions Claws event called Operation Bulldog IV. You can check them out on you tube. Bulldog and Irene are the big ones. Here are a ton of pics if anyone is interested in looking at them: http://www.kapowwe.com/john-lu-bulldog-2009.html

It is a general rule by all respectable airsofters that you DO NOT WEAR insiginias or ranks that you did not earn. If you do and you play at events that I attend there is a good chance that you will get called out on it in front of everyone.

This is an event my team and I attend yearly. If anyone is in the area I highly recommend it. It's a bit expensive but well worth it. Website, rules and all that. http://invasion.milsimevent.com/

No, my point was only that I haven't changed anything hardware wise and I am still running the same OS. Hardware: i7920 @ 3.8, 6 gig ddr3 1600, x58 mobo, dual gtx 280's and W7 64. My arma 2 is a steam app. I found the patch on the thread in the general forums and downloaded the torrents 1&2 extracted and installed. Then there was a hotfix for some mission that I downloaded as well. My guess is that something went wrong and I just need to completely uninstall and start again.
