So is there no way to have the tech tree in the strategy game? It seems like every tech is already unlocked and driving up to research stations do nothing. Also, in the campaign, I noticed that several research stations just light up when I drive up to them and hit the button, they don't give me anything. What gives with that? Thanks,

So I saw earlier in this thread that someone had tried multiplayer with success. I also saw in the mod docs that multiplayer is *not* supported yet. So what are the specific caveats with multiplayer with the mod? Is it just that you haven't tested it and there may be unknown bugs? Or are there specific things that won't work?

Hi all, I've seen some other topics kind of like this, after extensive searching there doesn't seem to be a work-around, so I thought I would post mine: I have a multiplayer game I've been playing that the saved game file has gotten large (108MB, 54MB for continue, 54MB for save). Now whenever I make significant progress in the scenerio and I attempt to save or suspend, the game consistantly crashes to desktop with no error. Arma2.exe is still running and continues to run until I shut it off in task manager. I have no other crashing behavior, just this one... My command line is just -nosplash, no compatibility settings, runs as administrator, normal graphics settings. I have manually entered the arma.config vram and made it read only as per some suggestions from that forum. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit on a i7 950 with a NVIDIA 285 video card. Twin SSDs in RAID 0 configuration. Everything about the system is tuned, top of the line, and otherwise stable. I'd love to hear any ideas or suggestions! Ok, I never knew where my Arma2.rpt file was until just now and I found it, it does have the "cannot commit" error I've seen written about in these forums. has there been any work around or resolution to the cannot commit error on save?

Hi all, I'm a fairly new recruit, and I really tried for several days to search, do the expirements refferred to on the forums, and get this game to perform, but I'm afriad I'm at my wits end! I'm using Rivatuner to monitor FPS and I'm seeing an average of 40FPS with a low end of 30. I know this is good, but I ahd to turn all the settings way down to get there, I was hoping there was something I could tweak to get some of the graphics renabled. My specs and settings are below, any advice any of you more experienced types could give would be appreciated!

Does anyone know if I can use this tool to get the CZM (Crappy Zombie Mod) to run in Arma II? Are there any special gotchas or instructions anyone would offer if I give it a try?
