Oh yeah, a classic! Gamers truely are a breed apart. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvlRQ90c9Bk I took part in the 21st Century Warfare tournament.

lmao....I remember a similar vid, for BF2.

I'm sure you mean beta-patch, correct?

Check your Arma2 folder in your MyDocuments....maybe the file that holds your key-profile, is write-protected (read-only)?

For me, it's L-Shift + L-mouse......R-Shift doesn't work on my end (maybe due to remapping keys). To delete your waypoint, hover de cursor over it, and press Del.

That's good news, thx!

Alex72, was that a respons to my posts? Sorry, I'm confused.:o

Could it be the case, that because ArmaII has some form of deformable terrain ("bombcrater", stuff like that), it's hard to make the AI clear, that grass has disappeared on that spot? In general, it seems fairly easy to me, to tell the AI by means of a trigger: [if] player goes prone in grass[then]grass-layer is ON. But if a random shell creates a naked surface, this could make things much more complicated. Or not?

I'm using my MS-FFB2 joystick together with my G9 mouse, works great. But I noticed one thing: if I plug-in my joystick while ingame, Arma doesn't recognize the functions I assigned to it earlier. So I must always remember to have the stick attached, before I startup the game.

CarlGustaffa, I know about that awesome guide...but thx, anyway :) I did a search in the Arma1 stuff as you adviced, but couldn't find what I wanted to know (hence my request for a YT vid), sry. But I can try to describe how it worked in Joint Operations: Suppose you seen an enemy-sniper running through the grass down a slope, far off in the distance, at let's say 500m. At that distance - at least in Joint Operations at that time - grass wasn't rendered anymore, for fps-sake obviously. So what you would see happening, when the sniper went prone, was as if the texture of that slope simply would close over him, like a blanket. If you would use a good binocs, you could barely see his rifle, and a slight misforming of the terrain, that's all.....IF you knew he would be there. Otherwise, you would oversee the target. Once he moved a little, or fire his weapon, you could see him a bit better, just for a few secs.

I have a question, as I'm fairly new to the Arma-series, and therefore (not yet) participating in beta-testing. How does this new grass-layer work? I remember a game called Joint Operations, where a prone player would vanish (blend-in) in the ground, sortof, when seen in the grass from a distance. He would only become partially visible again, when he either moved, or used a weapon. Like that? If that's the case, then it would be a tremendous improvement, imo. Is there maybe a YouTube vid somewhere, showcasing the new effect?

Check whether you either have hit the Numlock-key by accident, or have remapped the Numlock key to something else.

Do you use a wireless headphone?

Thx, was looking for this:biggrin:

Maybe next patch 1.05 will improve it anyways?

sorry for bumping this old thread....but I thought better use the search-option, than to start a new one. :P I had the same issue, just a moment ago. Playing on the Berzerk-server, with joystick attached...eveything was fine, map was working ok. Then - on map-change - my ingame-map was auto-scrolling to top all the time. So I disconnected my joystick while being ingame (obvious cause), but it didn't fix the issue. Running XP32bit, game v1.04, no mods or cfg's. Mouse is a Logitech G9. Keyboard is a Saitek Eclipse II. Joystick = MSFFB2, without it's software, running on XP-drivers.

What OS do you use? If you're on XP (-32bit, preferrably), you may want to wait with upgrading your hardware, and indeed - wait for the next patch.

just found this: http://arma2.swec.se/server/list ---------- Post added at 01:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 AM ---------- All seems to be working again, carry on:shrug:

same here....k, thx will try that IP :P ---------- Post added at 12:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 AM ---------- won't work :( Earlier on, I tried GamespyArcade..chatrooms were all down. Now GA is up, but ingame, I can't get any mp servers

That would be teamkillers, I recon? :D

Yes, to a certain degree. I'm using my MSFFB2, without the stick's software.

No wonder your installation goes berserk....with so many applications running in the background! I can see at least 3 instant-messengers active, + Firefox (9 Tabs, including 2 YouTube's!), a media-player, and who knows what else? Do you have anti-virus running as well? ArmAII is an incredibly complicated application to install, and so you will want to interfere it's setup as least as possible. Reboot your PC, close any stuff that isn't nescessary, and uninstall ArmA II. Delete the ArmA2 folder in your MyDocuments. Reboot. Now make sure most of your programs are closed, and reinstall. Reboot. Patch it up to v.1.04 (that's the only patch you need). Reboot. Give ArmA2.exe firewall-permissions....and you should be ready to go.

Read here. Good luck.

Read here Good luck.

How is your swap-file ("virtual memory") set?
