Might we be able to write a modification that replaces all these trees with another from the game?

omfg, life saver! just waltzed through a forest full of those damn trees, no prob. killer.

"The tree is like 30 years old aproximately..." You a dendrologist, or what? lol How do I get rid of them?

Look, are there any processors out there that never let the fps dip below 30? I don't think I'll ever upgrade until the day this happens. I have a setup that can kinda sorta handle ArmA 2, so I consider it unthinkable to spend money upgrading a PC (that was purpose-built for ArmA 2) when no matter how much I spend, I will still run into stuttering. p.s. has anyone tried one of those dual xeon setups?

I've run around the official site for about 20 min, never found a download link. plz help

We all know the problems with no rendered grass at range, but... Maybe years down the road (when PC's might actually be able to handle it), we could see a patch that allows for grass to be rendered (however poorly) at the full 6000 meters that trees are. Is that technically possible to add on?

Hey yeah, 250 million transistors is sooo much better than 750 million... :p

I've got a hundred bucks that says this guy didn't even read the thread. lol ---------- Post added at 10:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 PM ---------- Evidently not when you have a dense head like mine. Sorry dude.:o

Seems if I start up my PC with the disc in the drive, I have to restart to get it to recognize. Even if I do wait to put the disc in post-boot I have to open and close the drive at least three times. I have no troubles with any other disc.

No way, I don't believe it. :eek: I really hope you're not pulling my leg.

Yeah, galzohar was right. I assumed 6000 meters, and was wrong. I think you've got the right idea with 1000 meters. And again, I didn't ask because I'm some graphics nut. It all goes back to the unfair tactical advantage.

How constructive... Sarcasm isn't something that translates well through text. I'm sure that you're perfectly content to snipe enemies as a result of a graphical oversight, anyways. Happy canned hunting. ---------- Post added at 02:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 AM ---------- I don't get this. Attempt at a quote?

The second sentence answers my question. Very concise, thank you. You have experience messing with the engine, then? ---------- Post added at 01:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 AM ---------- Every increment of the view distance slider reveals more trees all the way up to 6000m. After that, only terrain seems to extend further. Maybe the 6000m is a circumference, instead of a diameter. ie: maybe 6000m view distance is really 3000m out from point of the player's eye. I don't know.

Well just for the record, I'm not nit-picking with the every blade of grass thing. My only problem is that some poor sap will be hiding in the bushes, and I pick him off easy as pie from 500m. I would just want something there so that if I'm hiding in bushes here, it is also true there. Does that make any sense? ---------- Post added at 12:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ---------- I thought I covered the PC handling it thing when I said eventually... On the green ground I'm with you, however that would be maintained grass like in your yard. Much, if not all the grass in ArmA 2 is quite long like 2 feet tall.

have any antialiasing, or fillrate at all without extreme stutter? I can use high settings at full view distance w/o AA and 100% fillrate. I can drop the view distance down to 500 and it is still choppy if I add 125% or low AA. WTF?

Thanks guys. I actually noticed that beyond 6000 no more objects are rendered anyway, just terrain. But for the guy who wanted stats: CPU: Athlon 64x2 5200+ GPU: ASUS 9600GSO G94 512MB RAM: 4GB DDR2 800 I run this setup on my 720P HDTV, so not very high resolution.

I think unless we get to a point where all grass is displayed as far out as you can see, grass is an unfair advantage to any attacking team. You can sit on a hill and pick off some poor guy who thinks he's hidden, but you're more than 200m away. Since he's prone, for example, he thinks he's hidden and can't see you. However you can clearly see him. Crappy.

Cycle to grenades with the "F" key. I don't think you can cook them (i could be wrong on that one).

I've been playing Domination and quite enjoying it. That said, I'm growing tired of the AI enemy. Are there any game modes that are like a human-only Domination (real people on both sides)? I must say though, I don't want to limit myself to one game mode. Any other mode suggestions would be welcome. Thanks in advance, ArmA community.

This happens to me on the latest nvidia drivers on a 9600gso running vista 32.

I got to thinking about just this topic while watching a stream of somebody playing DR. It seems like for the most part, where one developer fell short, the other excelled. Barring collisions in creative vision, they might just create the ultimate war simulator in a joint-venture that is sure to never happen. :( ---------- Post added at 10:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 AM ---------- I agree on the quality control part, but I disagree on the hardware part because my CPU cost $60 and my GPU cost me $35, and i get decent frame rates on high settings. Sure, if you want to go balls out cranking up every graphics setting, you're gonna be spending a huge chunk of change, but just to play it at normal to high w/o AA or PPE doesn't cost that much. Not to mention, it still looks great at these settings.

Well, when I played MP last night when prompted by an AI friendly, the soldier I was controlling seemed to automatically report his position, because he said, "I'm at 667854(or whatever number)". There must be a command if the game did it for me, and they ask you. I can't imagine that BI would create a communication that can't be responded to. Also, I already tried that workaround way of instructing them to go to that tree, for example, and he again responds with, "Where are you?" lol. I guess because he doesn't know to which tree I was referring. :) I know, I'm hopeless.

I am also a noob, and the answer to my problem is probably simple. Anyway, here it goes: Every time I'm riding in the back of an LAV and get sick of waiting for the AI gunner to engage a target, I tend to just jump in the gunner position myself. However, after I do so, I move to the back seat and nobody retakes the gunner position even if I order all to disembark, then order all to get in LAV. How do I get the gunner to retake his gunner position, instead of sitting in the back seat? It's like he's offended, lol. Also, when your AI teammates ask your position, how do you tell them?

If UPS would ever show up, I will have that (cooling and power) covered. I bought an Antec Three Hundred case and an Antec Earthwatts 650w PSU. Are we lookin' at like 5 fps gain or something? Also, what kind of a performance will I get with the single card setup?

Possibility 1 A64x2 5200+ 9600GSO 4GB DDR2 800 Possibility 2 A64x2 5200+ 2 9600GSO's in SLI 4GB DDR2 800 What would the FPS be, and would there be a difference in FPS @ 1680x1050? *Found ASUS 9600gso's for $35.00!
