    You are being rude but I won't sink to your level.

    If the game is broken, then no amount of hardware is going to fix it. As I said, you can't have it both ways.

    S-M says the game is broken, I am merely countering those assertions with my own experiences (and the experiences of those I play with).

    If you are going to make blanket statemtents which are blatantly untrue, you can expect to have them invalidated.

    Do some people have problems? Most assuredly. Is the game "broken" for everyone? Not at all.

    Eth

    So the question here, and the argument is simply that of what is considered "Broken".

    Broken is true when it is broken for some, or all, or just the person involved?

    Seems like you guys are argument semantics and not the actual issue at hand. Both acknowledge there are problems, and both acknowledge that not everyone is affected.

    The game isn't perfect, either. It can always be better, there is a lot of code involved and optimization is an ongoing thing.

    So arguing over what you want to call it is sort of silly. Everyone agrees, just disagrees on what to call it.

    Call it a day and play some Arma2 i say.

    Your argument is that the game is broken. If that is your contention, then my rig should have nothing to do with it. You can't have it both ways.

    The guys I play with don't have the same level of PC that I do and they don't have problems either.

    As to your "standards". I guarantee you that they are much higher than yours when it comes to what is acceptable with regards to PC games.

    Eth

    "it works for me and the few people I know, therefor it should work for everyone". No, this statement is not always true.

    Something can be broken for some people and not others, there are a lot of variables at play.

    You pretend to know a lot about hardware setups, yet you lack basic understanding of troubleshooting and software inconsistencies. Either that or you're a major fanboy blind to the notion that this game still has some bugs to work out.

    Not to be rude or anything but that is how I see it.

    The poor lad has a better spec then the devs posted machine details.

    Your definition of "works" is probably completely different from mine, i would hazard a guess that yours preforms the same as everybody else's, its just that you and your "crew" (what are you? some kind of fireman or something?) think that the current level of performance, is perfect.

    PS. how can clocks be irrelevant, the lad posted a message asking if his CPU was to crap for this game, and

    IT IS NOT!!

    IT EXCEEDS THE RECOMMENDED SPECS.

    IT EXCEEDS THE DEVS POSTED SPECS.

    I had to chuckle at somebody suggesting that he flogs it, and buys a quad that will clock to 4ghz = PMSL!

    I agree, a Core2Quad (of any size) should run this game beautifully.

    even a Core2Duo is all you really need to run most games, and a video card obviously that is up to par.

    Q6600 <> i7 JFYI. Clocks are irrelevant.

    But you just keep on insulting people if it makes you happy. I can't concede that the game is broken because it works for me. Are you saying I am making it up?

    Eth

    Eth you have a killer rig, thats why it works well for you :)

    People with more moderate rigs, have a much harder time getting the game tweaked just right. A faster system will hide such blemishes in the code much better than your average pc.

    There is a problem with the video ram "DEFAULT" setting, use "VERY HIGH"

    Side note:

    I set map quality to NORMAL and get much better FPS and lower stutter.

    (I have ordered the OCZ vertex 30Gb to put ARMA on. I'll report back when I've tested)

    Excellent, i'm very interested to know how this turns out.

    I've managed to get the game looking and running great on my setup..

    However, I'd like to eliminate the "stutter-load" when coming up to a new area, is this possible?

    It kinda ruins the moment for me when i remember i'm playing a game (this game is VERY immersive)

    Would a SSD help?

    AMD Phenom II Quad Core 940 Black Edition @ 3.4Ghz

    ATi 4850HD 512MB

    4GB DDR2

    Windows Vista64

    Edit: I have just run contig/powerdefrag on the Arma2 folder, this helped quite a bit. Still SOME stutter though. Chipset drivers are up to date, for my SATA2 drive.
