ok so this is what my config has in it already, stock numbers.. localVRAM=1740771280; nonlocalVRAM=1740771280; nvidia 9400GT 512MB 6GB ram 64bit OS 1740771280 bytes =1.6gb???? or is that number in bits? 207mb neither are "optimal" for a card with 512mb vram so i am just wondering what i should have it at for the smoothest game

alright so i have been searching around for a day or so and i have not been able to find out how to make it so i can choose a load-out for my jet before i take off/when i go to refuel-rearm. i dont remember where i saw it but i have seen the options before, anyone know how i could add that to one of my own missions?\ ( noob mission editor at work =] )

to get both you will have to install both( separately) tho...

oh shit yeah. whoops.. thought it was an add-on but dont know why haha. i think i have found it tho... close this thread or delete it mods?

i noticed that a few betas back (1.03 betas. 1.03 might have had it too, never tested it plain) and wondered why i could not hear my friends horn but the AI could and would turn directly to me and start to fire if i managed to get close unheard. can that be fixed please? its hard to tell someone which vehicle your in when your in a crowd of vehicles :) also just changing my drivers from the signed drivers and the beta Nvidia drivers have gave me a good 5 FPS increase in the beta. 191.03_desktop_win7_winvista_64bit_english_beta ( that was my driver installer title)

too many posts to look thru to tell what has already been said but the log in time out is ANNOYING, i read one whole page of a thread and by that time i am logged out and have to re-log in to post a comment. what is the timeout set to, 2 minutes? we should be able to set our time out length, say 5 minutes, 10 minutes or never would be great options :)

nvidia 9400GT here and i dont have it either, it must be something to do with newer cards, your right. they might be something to make the "sun" light things better for the newer cards ( just a guess because the flashing/strobing is happening on the brighter areas where the sun is reflecting)

i was trying it for the first time and every time it crashed so i never got to get passed that stage, meaning the program was never shut down before it crashed. are you on 7 x64? and what i meant was exactly what you said, it does not respond to user action when it is doing its conversion. ( i am on XP right now [32 bit] and i am testing if it will all run here. never realized how utterly slow XP is, now that i have been using 7 for a few months i just cant use xp.... its too slow lol Microsoft made a good wove with 7) ok well..... i found out that it was a naming problem, things did not like my folder structure even tho it was basically the same as in the tut haha whatever, named it all the exact same ( i was using H3.um as the folder name) and it works... that was a ridiculous thing for it to be picky about... but eh, whatever... not as bad as making maps for quake 3 arena haha

allright, so i was trying to follow the tutorial that is stickied and every time i get to the stage where it is importing the sat images and all that it crashes, i am not sure if it is actually crashing or if it is just not responding like it should when loading everything. anyone having the same issue? im confuzzled windows 7 x64 6GB ram 320GB HDD (so space isnt an issue XD) nvidia 9400GT oh, just realised the other section "tools troubleshooting" if you want, move it :)

i have 6GB and i have all of the "advanced -> performance" settings on, aero and all that fancy stuff on :)

the thread is this one, http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=86645 i HAD to post about it because ALL of you got the answer wrong.... the REAL answer is it is 100% legal to download the content from ANYWHERE as long as you buy a cd key for it. if you download it and legally own it you are not the one breakign the law, the one who uploaded it/hosts it is IF they put it there for others to download that do not own a legal cd key. this brings me to the fact that a lot of people say that the no cd/dvd exes are illegal, as a matter of fact..... im not gonna get in to that cause it makes me laugh quite a bit and i cant quite explain it fully :) but i will say they are perfectly legal IF you own the game legally. yet again sorry mods, had to correct peoples miss-conceptions

wait wait wait.. this "windows 7 will use 1gb it self is straight bull... i have been doing things all day and i still am barly using 1gb... thats with firefox with two tabs running, dropbox, utorrent, everest ultimate, hamachi, ventrillo and roboform al running plus other things like the ntune and other system driver services ( specific to my system) ... 7 only takes 550mb of ram on boot for me, and yes i do have a full install lol. one exception to my facts that i have found is... i have not tried 32 bit :) it might actually use that much and i just dont know lol... ill never go back to 32 bit... seems smoother to me.

actually i did a few tests and i have found that when the action gets going i get massive frame drops... NOT due to the GPU but the CPU, 99% processor usage and GPU temp never went over 39C :) well now i know the cause, now i got to fix it. ( still dont undersand the 5.4ghz+ being maxed out by this game tho) oh and about the smokes. they added in a beta patch it stated that the smoke grenades were going to be using " the full 60 seconds" that it was supposed to be. the grenades were spawning correctly but ending up below the ground surface and then not smoking any more :)

after reading everyone's posts here i honestly do not think that there is any difference from the 1.03.59025 to the 1.04.59026 other than the Securom addition.... wish i could "re-version" my exe so i could use that and test if there is ANY difference in the exe's :) me, and my "clan mates" are sticking with the 59025 on our lan tell 1.04 gets its first beta due to the dvd problems.. so far it seems like the AI is smarter XD Smoke however is not like it was in the beta, it is only about 5 seconds of smoke, maybe less. im assuming thats just me tho, but i do doubt it. hmm.. with mouse smoothing off it doesnt seem to register all 2400 DPI, it seems to skip a pixel or two every once in a while, that might be the other peoples idea of "jerky" screens and stuff of the like :) SIDE NOTE: people with worse hardware than me are getting better frame rates than me WTF haha i am getting about average of 20FPS, hardware: 9400GT OCed by 27% (core clock 700,shader clock 1700, Vram 500) AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4800+ OCed 9% (5200+, 2724 MHz per core) 6GB crucal balistics DDR2 800mhz (timings 5-5-5-15) screen resolution 1280x1024 AA and AF forced off physx on? ( maybe that's my problem) all my settings have to be on low or normal to get that 20fps.... ODD!!!

ok so what the hell! 1.04 should have had a no-dvd policy... all of us listening to music from cds, doing other tasks like installing programs and all of that PLUS what is the need for the dvd to be in there? so it can read the first 8 or 16 bites on it? what the hell is the point! the dvd check also has a PROVEN negative affect on ALL games, honestly the betas have gave me at LEAST 30% increase in preformance, 1.03 has had no problem running off of a backup dvd ( lost the original) and now 1.04 says "prease insert the original arma 2 dvd, not a backup" WHAT THE HELL!!! isnt that the point of the backup? so you can play the game if you loose your dvd? are you kidding me! yeah i love the game and i am usually not this forgiving with problems that keep me from playing/doing something that i want to but guys, COME ON!, you do not need to "protect" the game witha dvd check, it does NOTHING but mess with the legitimate owners. annother thing, my hardware ( below) runs the game nice and smooth on normal setings ( beta and non)... i cant find any FPS counter that works for me but i have to say it runs at least 15-30 FPS ( im assuming that the game doesnt need 30FPS to feel perfectly smooth) ( nvidia 9400GT OCED 27%, windows 7 X64, AMD 4200+ OCed 9%, 6 GB ram)

i cannot figure it out no mater what i do. i have searched the forums and have searched all over the internet for tutorials also checked the BI wiki... cant find it for the life of me. anyone want to tell me how and/or show me a video that will also show it to me? sorry for if it is asked a lot, i think there needs to be a better named post for it to be easy to find.

well i dont use the protection areas so yah the respawn_ i want it so you cannot see where the spawn areas are when playing because it really is fun trying to hide out somewhere then all of a sudden you get spawned on and taken out :)

i tried with both the 3D editor and the normal one ( the 3d version does work great for placing vehicles :] ) and it did not work correct.... probably somethign i did wrong :) do you have to do it in a certain order? if so i will just follow it to the letter ( trying that now) ok so i have figured it out, you really have to do it in the order said and you cant use the 3D editor :$, but is there any way to make it so the spawns are not marked on the map when playing?

ok so i tried making the markers adn all that how your pdf said but it still does not work. there is no respawn, there is no ammo crates where i place "allweapons" markers nor where i place vehicle markers... and yes i read thru the whole pdf and did it just how it said
