These are my 2 threads about the subject Tophe, http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=83098 http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=82926 I only play online so personally I can't say whether it happens in the single player misions or SP campaign but I know it happens in the online servers on both the Domination and Evolution servers. I have started playing the new Domination west 1.03 servers but I don't get in enemy vehicles anymore as the negative points pi** me off, so I don't know if it has been fixed in the new 1.03 server maps. On a positive note for BIS, the new Domination west 1.03 servers seem to have fixed the problem of lagg and building textures taking about 30 seconds to fill in when you first spawn. Also with the new Domination 1.03 servers when you choose your kit, it gives you an option of saving it, so when you get killed and respawn you still get a full compliment of weapons instead of having to gear up everytime.

It definately sounds like the floating point. I played opflash for years but played ARMA for about 20 minutes due to the floating point still being active when at the minimum setting. BIS did a better job with ARMA 2 though and it allows you to turn it to minimum and it makes the floating point non existant. While you are in the settings you might want to turn off head bob too. HTH. Edit X post

Have you uninstalled the game and then installed it and tried running it with 1.01 or 1.02 and not 1.03 just to see if it is OK with the original then the first patch. If so then you will definately know it is patch 1.03 that is causing it.

A shot in the dark here but have you turned off UAC ?

Thanks for your feedback everybody :) The score isn't a problem in the domination west maps because you start with all your weapons, but I care about the score in the evolution servers where you start with a 136 rocket launcher and only one rocket, because with a 136 rocket you need 2 to down a vehicle. So you fight for ages trying to get points to get ranked up to get better weapons and to be able to drive vehicles and fly. So for example, you get 10 points and get ranked up to enable you to get a SMAW which you can carry up to 6 rockets, you disable a tank and jump in it and kill a few enemies, you get minus points loose your rank and have to start all over again to get your rank back to be able to get decent weapons again. So yes points are important to me. In future though I won't be jumping in a enemy vehicle.

Ok seeing as my original thread was closed http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=82926 even though it was a valid problem I and a few others seem to be having with 1.03 I will start again. Kremator wrote Kremator before you open your mouth and start insulting people, how about you check the bullshit that you are writing, this isn't an evolution only problem, if that was the case then why do you get minus points for killing an enemy whilst occupying an enemy vehicle in Domination maps too ? and why didn't it happen in patch 1.02 ? I first joined this forum to get input and try and help people with the graphical problems a lot of us are having, not to be insulted by a degenerate who hasn't got a clue as to what he is talking about. As I said before my point was a valid problem with patch 1.03, or at least a problem myself and a few people I have encountered have noticed. This could also be server related as to how certain servers are set up, or it could be a new patch problem I havent got a clue, which is why I posted the first thread to try and see if anyone else has this problem. To the moderator who closed my first thread, do you know if this is a 1.03 problem, is it server related, or are you just listening to kremators bile and saying it is an evolution only problem ?

I played for 5 hours last night on patch 103 and more than doubled my kill rate than playing 5 hours on patch 102. Hopefully all the servers will revert back to 102 and 103 will fade away. I can handle the graphical annomolies but unfortunately the watered down AI has just killed the game for me.

Dolt ??????????

I was just playing on a red evolution map and I got into an enemy vehicle after killing the gunner and driver. I started pounding the town with RPG's and ended up in the banana phone ring ring ring ring ring room LMFAO (only me and another bloke on the server and he was in the woods behind me so it wasn't him I was killing). Again a AAV P7A1 parked near the MHQ and 8 enemies got out, I jumped in the MHQ and wasted them all, then I jumped in the AAV P7A1 and pounded the town again only to be thrown back in the banana phone room. So do I understand correctly that with the new patch if you kill an enemy whilst occupying an enemy vehicle you loose points for team killing????????????? If so I hope all the servers have turned off the automatic team killing kick or ban. Apart from this I noticed no difference in game performance, what a waste of time.

I have jumped in an enemy tank before that I immobilised but it was still able to fire, I killed about 12 enemies with the enemy tank and got positive points for all the kills.

My first online gaming experience was with CSS, I enjoyed playing the game until someone pointed out what FPS they were getting, I inquired as to how they could see thier FPS. What followed for me was a total obsession with FPS, I was never satisfied and kept tweaking and tweaking trying to get higher and higher FPS, it totally ruined the game. Since then I have never bothered about FPS, if the game runs smooth then that does me. I cannot play the single player mission because of shocking frame rate but the online game hardly skips a beat. I commiserate with all the people that are unable to play this game due to poor frame rate but after reading a lot of these posts about bugs, poor FPS, type of GFX card, type of Processor, version of operating system, how much memory, yada yada yada all I can say is ........it makes no difference, this is a BIS problem, there is nothing 'we' can do to make the game play better. IMO there is not a computer built that could run this game to its full potential because the game is not finished. I know a lot of people want to show there discontent with this game and this is the place to do it, I am sure BIS are not holding back on the next patch just to pi** us all off but with all the problems this game has it could be a while. I for one am happy with the game bugs and all because I can finally throw BF2 in the bin. :D

I am completely satisfied with ARMA 2, I have been playing BF2 since it's inception and I for one am glad for the change. Sure the game is not without problems, some servers I went on I could play for hours some servers I could only play for 15 minutes then my rig would shut down and reboot. I fixed this by turning my fan in CCC up to 60% and now there are no shut down problems. I get lag in the coop evolution servers but no lag in the CO30 Domination west servers. I have seen people saying about the all seeing AI which I have also noticed but in the maps there is allways a helicopter flying over so I am guessing they have a radar on to let the AI know where we are. I bought ARMA when it came out and couldn't play it with the aiming deadzone, even when it was set to zero it still didn't seem right. ARMA 2 has fixed this. So apart from the graphical issues of taking a few seconds to load the graphic details in the first city map when spawning and sometimes in night vision the disco lights going off this is a great game.

This happened to me but it confused the hell out of me because it only happened on certain severs. I could play for hours on some servers but on others I could only play for 10 - 15 minutes then my comp would shut down and reboot. Anyway to fix it I went into CCC and turned the fan up to 70%.
