So.... what am i doing wrong? switch to laser marker request air strike.....0-0-1 But there is no message asking me to paint the target. I laze anyway, the red dot is somehow not placed correctly it seems, nothing happens.. Thanx for any advice.

never mind.... Some one beat me to it. Thanx Ace team, thanx sickboy

Works great. very interesting mission. Somehow i cant get the air strike to work... probably an ArmA 2 beta problem, but just to let you know. Great Thanx

Works like a charm here. I keep the MOD folder in ARMA 2 .dir with @ in front. example: @ACE @ACEX @JTD @warparticles @xxx This way everything works great. Danke CptArmA2

Concerning MODS Ive seen tons of people having trouble launching the game. why don't you use a separate launcher ( I use Alpinestars ArmA 2 launcher ) ? Six updater is a great for updating the game, and some of the MODs but if i want to use other mods with ACE, like JTD FireandSmoke, War Particle Effects, ect its much simpler to have Alpinestars launcher, and select the MOD you want instead of hassling with the shortcut every time you ad or remove a MOD The software you guys made is fantastic sickboy, big props to you and the ACE 2 team. Everything worked fine, and the little update errors wer quickly fixed by you. A very big THANK you from Switzerland :-)

@marturin Normally there are no re spawns of enemy, so if your making a fuss near the target, maybe the defenders called for help:-)? Of course if you happen to arrive at the target point, and have not killed the enemy on the way, they will try to follow you and get you :-)!

@wiper. You my know already...but... ACE 2 is OUT :-)!! You think there is a way to make this ACE2 ready? Is there something that i could do to help? greetings It works just like that, but it would be cool tzo get those extra weapons and vehicles, plus specialty's, which might not work without the mission being designed with ACE in mind.... Thanx and peace

First off, THANX to all the ACE 2 crew for this fantastic peace of work. I have to say, i was lucky to be probably the first to download everything Monday evening, and everything WORKED very well. To set it all up, if you follow the steps, it WORKS! Great. I couldn't really test a lot, just played a little Cipher v141b and boy, it was fun:-) will test more tonight. This is like a giant surprise pack, because to see and test everything, itl take more then just a mission or 2 . Great so far, keep those updates coming :-) I personally found using Alpinestars launcher to launch ArmA2 more practical, because its easy to quickly chose which mod to load, without the hassle of changing the shortcut. SIX Updater is just used for..... Updating, and for that its fantastic :-)

AMAZING.... Sunday night playing Cipher, Quickly switched to desktop to check somethin, my eyes glance at the nifty Beta gadget: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=85627 And what do i see? A new beta on a SUNDAY night!! You guys never sleep ey:-) Thanx a lot, Progress is great. I am testing tonight, could t really do anything xcept play some cipher yesterday:-) A BIG Thank you to Suma, and the BIS staff :-)

You guys are great at BIS Thanx for all that hard work. Great to see such user/developer interaction:-)

Keep it in my drive, but voted no because i don't need it since the beta program, so actually ,yes, but no :-)

Hello all. I noticed something playing the mission Cipher v1.41b with the latest beta (60588): We were creeping through the woods, when we saw some enemy on a clearing next to a truck. In the betas before, we could sneak up on them, and take them out. Now as soon as one of us engage, they all turn simultaneously, and open up in our direction... is this intended? I think it was not so extreme before, they had to search a little before immediately zeroing in on us... Now it seems, the do it immediately after the first shot is fired ... however they are not ak snipers. This of course is probably the result of the tweaked sit. awareness. Does this have to do with the know about value ? Otherwise, absolutely great these updates. the depth of field effect when using PP ( low) is awesome. now if we could get either separate sliders for all the effects or At least separate sliders for the bloom and the rest of the effects :-) pretty please :-) Thanx for your awesome work BIS *update* yea noticed this as well....

Hello Community. i am reading a lot on the forums, and i find some people with great rigs, unable to play the Game as they would like. I for one, can not Complain. After using all the posted tips ( defrag ect ) ...... The game runs on my setup ( check sig ) with a steady 30- 40 FPS, All on very high. Using Nhancer ( Tool for Nvidia Card owners ) i even put 4xS Anti aliasing. As surly already written somewhere, the shortcut target line can be modified ( as with -noslpash ) to skip the splash screen. Just ad -maxmem= ( your amount of RAM here , i put 4000 ) and you should be good to go. -Cpucount=4 didn't change anything for me, but maybe it will help you? -xpmode is useless in windows 7, i had no change. All those i 7 or i5 owners, all you GTX 2xx owners, you should be getting better performance this way. it worked wonders for me. Post your feedback :-)

@themaster303 Its a known bug reporten already in the beta section: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=90575 Its not related to cipher, but to the latest beta which you are using. Roll back to 60141 and all is well in MP. Singleplayer should work with the newer beta. It`l get fixed in the next one hopefully:-)

Definatly related? well it seems this is exactly true. The server didn't crash immediately, no... it was only when i took the bike, and started it up. And only in MP How can this be? It never happened in this way in previous betas...... apparently there are a lot of changes made, and not mentioned, otherwise, changing troop behavior should not interfere with vehicle sounds..... But exactly this seems to be tha case. So far: crash when using vehicle crash only in Multilayer game all os, and hardware affected.

Yea, me too. I posted this already in sumas thread: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=90559 it would be good if we could post feedback about this beta in there, so the devs dont have to search for the info. *update* i see, you've already done so :-) This is the first beta however which caused problems as this. Thanx alex72, i am sure lots of peeps are not aware on how simple it is really to play test animal :-) and help BIS. This should be stickied.

Ok, just tied the mission Cipher v1.41b singleplayer, No problems, and very interesting. have to test a little more. *update* Voted yes, for both settings. However, i just tried to play this same mission Cipher v1.41b SpecOp with a buddy in coop, and as soon as we start, take the bikes, the game crashes. Now, i dont know, if this has anything to do with your changes, but in the betas before 60295 everything worked well. Mods included in this test were: CBA JTD Fire and Smoke VFAI now trying again, maybe one of the mods messed it up.... *update* tested with 60141 and no problems. I dont suppose its the mods, more the mission, since wiper also heavily modified the AI. Hope this can get sorted, because cipher is one hell of good mission :-) will post back.

Oh man:-) you guys are just great:-) il post back ... downloading now, testing in a few minutes . Thanx a lot Suma and the rest of you all BIS Developers. c ya

Hi all. Dont know if this is related, but i have an Out of memory error as well. this one comes right after saving a game in single player.. Game runs perfectly, even saving generally works well. Sometimes however i get this message Out of memory error Then the game just quits to desktop, Arma2.exe is still running in task manager. Have to stop the process to be able to get rid of it:-( Anybody else experience something similar? Greetings

@ maturin Sorry to go off topic, Just to give a heads up: Instead of hassling with your mods and shortcut: use this http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=81060 There are other launchers out there, but this one works great for me :-) Read the thread, and place a little thanx:-)

Wiper buddy, i hate to brake it to ya.... I found a bug! Remember we were talking about the fact, that in MP the selected vehicles wont spawn ? ( all except the bikes, thy are always there ) That means, when playing with my friend(s) in coop, there is no truck, no HUMVE, no nothing xcept those bikes, USMC Motorbikes. The rest of the mission works well, however: Since this latest version 1.41, when starting, i can briefly see the yellow circle (position of suitcase) in the map view (loading for the other player in coop after the lobby), before the insertion. The Resupply position, should also be closer to the red circle, there is a lot of ground to cover, just to resupply. Just a little feedback from a fan :-)

Hello comunity Here is the solution ... I don't know if this has been posted before, but it seem that deactivating certain services under Windows 7 x64, can help improve performance. In combination with the fabulous work that BIS is doing with the beta patch updates, for me the game ( sorry The Mil-Sim ) runs very good now. a light overclock of my GPU Shader clock from 1512 to 1620 mHz Stopping, and disabling the windows search service Installation of the lates beta patch: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=84347 Of course, as Alex72 already mentioned, Updating and staying up to date in terms of display drivers and such, can help a lot as well . all this gave me a complete stutter free Arma 2 game play. example : Played Cipher v1.41 in specop mode coop with a buddy. Used: JTD Fire and Smoke CBA SLK 1.5 ( latest release ) VFAI I have about 30 - 40 FPS ALL the time! with the lower 59xx betas i was running 25-30 sometimes high 30s Settings: AA= off ( using nhancer for that 4xS setting ) AF= off Prepossessing= off All else is on very high and native res 1680x1050 try it out and post your success :.-)

Hello Community I have to say, it not regular at all. sometimes it happens, sometimes it dos not. Since the last betas since the latest 2 betas it didn't happen anymore here.... gruss

Its defiantly good it makes the game a little harder, maybe, but for me, it also adds that little touch of realism, which makes this game stand out from all the others:-) just my 2ct
