Is it just me, or dose the sound issue seem resolved? I can perfectly zero in on someone shooting at me, i can clearly hear vehicles as they drive, or turn on their engines.... Only problem left seems to be the explosions. This is using the latest beta. I have to test more, but i rely didn't notice any more problems. Please do some more testing, and post feedback, we have to much conflicting info here. If there are new drivers out for your sound hardware install them, and retest. there shouldn't be a difference in sound between us, we should all have the same audiophile experience :-)

Oups... thats a Typo. I meant JTD Fire and Smoke. Corrected my post :-) Sorry about that.

Well, since this is Wipers "Cipher" thread, im not talking about the campaign mission 3. i am talkin about Cipher v1.38 :-) No problems there what so ever :-) i know that those AI mods can cause truble, i just havent had any yet :-)

No no. im just saying, I am playing with theese mods, and man, Your mission is already the best one around, but with theese mods ( i expierienced NO errors what so ever ) its even better. Just try it out yourself:-) you wont regret it. Using Alpinestars Arma2 launcher, its a breeze to test out the mods you want.

No i`m afraid it doesn't. On Nvidia homepage you should find a list of all games supporting physx. Greetings

Oh man... This is Soooooo great. Pleas Try this with following mods : VFAI SLX JTD Fire and Smoke Wiper, Thanx a lot for this. this is the greatest thing gameplaywise that has happend to me :-) again. thanx. And yes, i too have experienced the freeze-in-midair-issue again in this release, as we already talked about before. same thing.

Yes Its working :-) Thanx, i had the folder in my beta folder and my arma2 folder. I forgot to create the addon folder inside the mercs folder...Typical user error, just as i thought :-) Of to playing :-)

Hello. After trying and trying to get it installed..... I always get this error message right after loading the first mission: Campaigns\us_seals_cmp\missions\operationShadowForce.Chernarus\mission.sqm/Mission/Groups/Item0/Vehicles/Item0.Vehicle:Vehicle class WDL_mercenary_default12 no longer exists Can anybody point me in the right direction? Ive followed the tutorial on installing mods, adjusted a copy of my short cut accordingly. Ive used other mods, which worked well. Now all i have extra is VFAI, JTD Fire and Smoke mod and Sound of War mod. Thanx, for any help:-)

I will just quote myself, as this was already written in another thread: Hello all I just got the new copy of the leading German games mag, PCGames. Yea, the same ones that got us all hyped up, because ARMA 2 is supposedly such a bugfest. score of 78 if i remember correctly. The Review is pretty detailed, and has the title Operation Flashpoint in mind. The mag asks it this new DR is a true successor of the original BI series, Operation Flashpoint CWC and the answer is clearly: NO Score of Operation xpoint ( for me the game dose not deserve the name, lets just call it DR from now on ) DR has a score of: 77. The review goes on to say: "For simulation fans, the most important question is: Is DR better then ARMA2? The answer is clearly NO." Further on...."Great tactical shooter action= yes, real simulation feeling=no" For me, that says it all:-) Thanx BIS for staying true to your work.:-) CM has really just delivered a Battlefied clone .... Not an operation Flashpoint 2. as someone else stated in Sig: Codemasters might own the name, but Bohemia Interactive owns the soul :-) If anyone wants more of this review in German, i can translate it for you, and post it later on, it would take some time however, because its 4 pages long and i dont use googel translate :-)

@Betsalel , excellent sig. by the way :-) eazy:-) I don't want to impose myself either....... Just let me know ( best by pm ) if there is still some need, and we will figure something out :-) Makes no sense, if everything is stuck at customs, to send more, wich will also get stuck at customs.:-( Best is to wait until everything is in his hands, then we can recheck, if there are faulty parts to replace or something. Just drop a pm or so :-) peace

Hey guys... everything sorted here? i just popped on this thread, and read about the problems of Mark XIII. Still in need of some stuff? I have 2 GB ( 4 x 512 MB 9 OCZ Gold ddr2 667 RAM and a Striker Extreme m mainboard to doneate if you still need something :-) pm or post to let me know :-)

Or this.......: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=85627 that is, if you are using gadgets :-)

@danfuqua you must open the map, and use the radio there.. it should be the top most option above save game :-) On a side note, I have the Briefing screen before the insertion with the helicopter . Dont know what happend with you guys...

@Wiper Mode: SpecOp (light) Sorry, i have to explain better. Yes i mean the Insertion Chopper. Thats the image frozen on screen when you restart after being killed. Exiting Cipher, and restarting from the main menu works.

Found something else..... Well now ive just tried some single player. When you die, and restart, the Helicopter no the entire image is frozen in midair. only restarting Cipher ( by exiting to main menu, and reselecting mission restart ) solves the problem. Anybody else stumble across this?

Yea, think it happens only, when server is started, and a third player joins the fight. if all three of us meet in the lobby, and start together from there, there is no problem.....

Hello all. Thought id drop my 2ct as well. For me, the Game/SIM is just perfect. Its more then the usual run and gun! Performance is very good on my end, considering whats being served on your screen: FPS = 27-50 ( so playable all the time ) Settings: All very High, Except: Post processing = off Anti aliasing and AF =off I use nHancer on my nVidia card to force 4xs AA. AF i leave of, because the combined AA modes in nHancer include AF. The goal of the game is to spot the enemy, before they spot you. So instead of running around, try moving slower! walking, and scanning your surroundings. I have noticed, playing the fantastic Cipher v1.35 mission, created by wiper, If you rush, you're dead pretty quick, and yes, you might have the impression the AI is cheating, BUT ITS NOT. its just doing, what you should do as well, move slowly, and scan your surroundings. Playing with my buddy's, we tried taking them by storm, and failed miserably. when going slow, and covering each other, we get there every time, no funny surprise kills. For me, played right arma is just fantastic. Played wrong ( too fast, too COD /BF style, too run and gun ) and you might get disappointed. Patch fixed several issues incl. sound. performance as said is very good here. Thanx for your hard work BIS :-)

@Wiper Well I too experienced the bug described by Greg. exactly the same. And yes., The target zone os way to often placed outside urban terrain. If you can adjust this, that would be nice. So far, best mission for ARMA2 Thanx for that :-)

The Chocolate Country......... yea you guessed it Switzerland :-)

Hello all. Well i have to say... The new 1.04 patch, the beta that is, is amazing. I have between 30 and 55 FPS all the time playing Cipher 1.33b. The frame rate is still jumpy, but is now in very playable regions. before, playing the same mission, i had between 20 and 35 fps. Thats also with the new 191.xx Nvidia drivers. so far so good:-) However, i was playing Cipher coop with my buddy yesterday, and we were both hunting down the road towards the objective on motor bikes. when the other player hits the horn, i cant heare it. Its probably not very important, i thought id mention it anyway.... I can hear the engine sound, but not the horn. anybody else?

Nice nice NICE. absolutly ingenius this game. just regitered on your site, and am gladly willing to help however i can :-)

ok, after rechecking, Ram usage dosent change, at least it is not shown to have changed, however, my HDD is defiantly not slowing my game down anymore, so RAM usage dose seem better. The FPS are more Smooth with this tweak, suggesting it having SOME kind of effect, I cant understand it. My view distance is between 3700 and 4000m oh well, ill just leave the tweak on. it has only a positive effect for me, even though i cant prove this... yes with xpmode i meant winxp, my bad. sorry, post corrected :-) I have noticed, that when changing to more then 4000m Terrain quality setting drops to high, instead of very high. At the end, it seems its a placebo effect ( again, no offense, Placebo :-)

thats what puzzles me... All aside. i have seen no change on my g15 keyboard display, and performance monitor, when launching the game. It seems RAM usage is always around 40-50 % when the game is running . with the maxmem tweak, and the game is loaded, i have arround 55-70% RAM usage, so it did do something :-) of course this info is not very precise. i will recheck this with taskman, and other means and post feedback .

if it does nothing... please explain the improvement? i am mostly playing custom mission called cipher with my friends in coop. I had trouble, because i am hosting the game for them. even hosting the game, and playing with my buddy's i saw, and felt the improvement.. are you saying its just Placebo effect ( no offense mod :-) i cant undermine what i am experiencing, because e i have no way of showing you, but the game FEELS better and smoother ....... maybe it works up to the stated 2gb?

well , i cant understand that..... People running this game, with the rigs posted, should have way better performance then 20 FPS, unless you guys ar using extreme Anti aliasing and AF mods....... please try the following: After -nosplash( for those using the beta builds ) add maxmem= ( your RAM here) to the target line Non beta users, can simply add it to the end after the quotes " -maxmem= i read that ARMA 2 engine, only can use up to 2 gb of ram, without this tweak it seams its using only 512 mb ...... that's why your HDDs are working theirs off. since using this, my fps went from stuttering barely playable 20-30 up to absolutely smooth 30-40 FPS. and no more paging :-) i use maxmem=4000. That solved all performance issues:-) ArmA 2 settings : All Very High xcept Antialiasing and AF deactivated ( i am using Nhancer to force 4Xs AntiAliasing ) View distance 3890m Postprocessing Off did this setting help anyone? did nhancer help anyone?
