Thank you for your kindness :)

1.04.something Steam does patching by itself. ---------- Post added at 12:01 AM ---------- Previous post was Yesterday at 11:41 PM ---------- Problem solved :) just had to restart windows.

HAHA ;) new problem I have is that after installing and uninstalling and than installing ArmA 2 again, I can't install the beta patches and that's a crap :( Anyone any clues? I tried Reg Cleaning after the unistalling process. I think I did that 5 times now, I mean installing and uninstalling the game. Still can't install the beta patches. Thou it worked after the first installation on the very beginning, I just had to lose some space temporally that's why I uninstalled. Ohhh and thank you for all the tips on performance. EDIT : OOOPS how goofy of me problem solved. Just had to restart windows :P

I have ArmA 2 installed from steam. I did install the game and than uninstall it because I needed some extra space temporally on my hard drive. Now when I installed it again the beta patches don't want to install. It says that ArmA 2 is not installed on my PC. It's in the add/remove programs list so why the patches won't install? Would really appreciate some help here.

Well after hours of testing it runs o.k. on beta (it's a bit choppy), with : Both res.-1280x1024 Visibility-3000 Texture-High VM-Default AF-Disabled AA-Disabled Terrain-Low Objects-Normal Shadow-High PP-V.High great improve in fps if I turn it off but I like the effect :)

Thank you for a proper reply. Downloading the game now from Steam, I hope it will work. Will keep you updated, troll's out. Troll says LOL to you guys :) ---------- Post added at 08:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 PM ---------- Do I have to install the beta patches one after another? Or just install the latest one?

How's so? You know what never mind. Just another silly opinion. BTW just looked up your posts and most of them are fcuking stupid comments. Jesus no-lifes do you really live to post them.

I think almost all of you guys are full of bullshit. Read the 140 pages of troubleshooting and you will see where I'm coming from. The game engine is advanced, but.... not so advanced (it's only DX9 so year 2005 at most) it does not utilize 4+ GB RAM which is bad because it comes at a cost of loading most of the textures straight up from the hard drive and it's does not support a majority of graphic cards as well it's not utilizing the newest technologies and operating systems. The engine code itself is fcuked that's why it utilizes so much of the processor. My laptop which I briefly described at the beginning of this post is nothing comparing to the high end desktops that are at the market at the moment. I never sad it is or whatsoever but from what the recommended setting says it's enough to run the game on medium details. This machine managed to run with decent fps all of so called by you "arcade games" on high details in resolution 1440x900 which I find acceptable for a 17" screen. I know ArmA2 is different I know it's a SIM. Thou when I read comments of textures flickering on desktops better than my laptop while set to lowest resolution and lowest details than it's obvious it's not the hardware or the drivers but the game itself that dose the magic. Some of you find yourself lucky enough to play this game without a problem and you go around this forum posting you silly opinions about which I don't really give a fcuk that's why my question was directed to dev. Anyway there is only one or two replies in that big wall of bullshit you posted that really answers some of my questions. Still the main one stays mystery. Will I be able to play it with some decent details, because running around in a world of blurry textures and bear land or whatsoever is not really my thing. I love the idea of ArmA and OF because that's what the games should really look like these days - as most realistic as possible but still.... P.S. 1 Scrub you say "Latest betas makes #4 irrelevant" does it means the game now supports more than 2 GB of ram? P.S. 2 Don't tell me to go read the forum because that's what I did.

Few questions to developers. Question 1 If ArmA2 perform so badly on so many machines with different configuration, how do you expect me to buy the game and get pissed off that I can't play it with proper settings? Question 2 If the game performs so bad, for me it looks like you released a game on an engine that isn't finished neither compatible with broad range of specifications that are available on the market these days and that you expect me to do the testing for you. Why was it released before all the tweaking and tuning was done? Question 3 I read a lot that the game performs better on Windows XP. How come you released the game that it's not compatible with up to date systems like Windows Vista and 7? Question 4 How come the game supports only 2 GB of RAM and is so dependent on processor power? Question 5 My system is a XPS M1730 Laptop with Intel Core 2 Duo T7300 2.0 GHz + 4 GB RAM + SLI 8700M GT 256 MB (it's 512 MB in SLI) running Windows Vista 64. Will I be able to play the game on medium up to high settings?
