Are you guys talking about dead zone? Wth is floating zone?

Nah cchance, the explosions pretty much look like that. Don't expect them to improve.

It's because George Bush is the commander of the US Army. I'm Finnish and even I know that.

Call me blind, but I don't see an option anywhere for "floating zone". I see one for "dead zone". Perhaps that's what you're talking about?

I have no clue what floating zone is, nor any idea where I would disable it if it was enabled by default.

Trust me, I have all the mouse acceleration stuff in Windows turned off. It's detrimental to gaming leaving those options on. I play Counter-Strike competitively and have for years, and when something is hindering my ability to aim, it's a huge turn off. I want to have rewarding gameplay by actually attempting difficult shots, not by attempting to "beat" the games controls. I hate to seem picky, but this game is the only one I've played to force mouse acceleration on me, and it's unbearable.

Alright, setting my maximum ore-rendered frames to 1 in my NVIDIA Control Panel actually nearly fixed the mouselag. There's a little bit left, but 90% of it is gone. Great, right? Well, I guess that wasn't the only reason why it wasn't enjoyable. Turns out there's a crazy amount of mouse acceleration I'm noticing. Not even including the previous mouse lag, that truly makes aiming a bitch. Any idea on how to turn that off?

Even at lowest settings, where I'm clearly getting good FPS, there's a few milliseconds of mouselag. For me, Crysis at 20 FPS feels more responsive than this game at 60 FPS.

Crysis requires a $600 (maybe even $500) for High Settings at 1680x1050. For $600, ArmA 2 struggles at medium settings. Doesn't look as good as Crysis. My point is that the game would more likely be the problem.

It is a good comparison. Crysis is a much better looking game, and much better running too. Aside from ArmA 2 and Clear Sky, it's one of the toughest games to run. Yet the information you provide isn't relevant. Your post: computers get 50 FPS on Crysis at 1920x1200 with 16x AA in DX10 with maxed settings. How exactly does that relate to my comparison, or more importantly, the optimization problems with ArmA 2? ---------- Post added at 01:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 AM ---------- What settings are you using? And most curiously - which 3d Resolution?

This community seems so dead set on the "hate it" or "love it" concept. So black and white to you guys. I like the gameplay, but hate the game's optimization. I honestly would love to go ahead and spend money on the game, but I can't do that knowing the game is going to lag even at modest settings. And another thing. I know it's not just me. I played the demo with my clan, all with with systems varying from medium end to ridiculously high end. We all had the same complaint : poor optimization and input lag. I was hoping maybe there's some odd thing I can change in the game's configuration, or some setting that bugged the game out that I could change, and all would be well.

Cool information, but hardly relevant. :p

I clearly said run Crysis on High, 1680x1050. Many PCs have been able to do this with no problems since early 2008. Perhaps you misread what I wrote. And as for it being a problem with my computer - the demo does the exact same thing on my 2nd computer, which is an E5200 (@3.2ghz), 3GB of RAM, and a Radeon 4850. So I have a hard time believing it's my two specific computers. I'm not asking for amazing settings. I just want my native resolution, and low/medium (which is kind of a joke considering I breeze through any other game). But ArmA 2 can't even seem to give me that.

Not sure where this thread goes, but I figured I'd give it a try. I downloaded the ArmA 2 demo and the game concept is fun and all - but it's practically unplayable. The input lag is atrocious. Even in the benchmark it says I'm getting 30+ FPS, I can barely navigate around due to the game's laggy nature. For shits and giggles, I set everything to lowest except for my resolution, and there's still a hint of mouse lag. How do I fix this? I get 50+ FPS on Crysis on high settings. I don't see why this game should run so poorly. - Running Windows XP SP3, just reformatted last week. - 4GB if RAM - E8400 @ 3.5 ghz - 9800GTX Overclocked I couldn't imagine this game ever working for the 360.

I don't have $50 to spare for a game that I'm not entirely sure that I'll enjoy. If I can get my hands on the game DVD, and buy the CD Key seperately online, would I be able to play the game FADE free?

Great idea. And hopefully by this time they will have released more patches. I love Steam

I'm not going to be using any foreign files. So it would work? I've been playing OFP since I've been 6, but that doesn't automatically make this game worth full price. The demo didn't provide sufficient gameplay for me to judge if it's worth the money or not. The demo doesn't tell me if the game's campaign is broken, or if the editor is bugged. Things like that. EDIT: Ok. I'll wait until the game drops in price then. Thanks!
