    Low GPU/CPU Utilization? Low FPS ?

    Try checking NVIDIA's contol panel. If you have an integrated GPU this game defaults to that. Not sure exactly what you are seeing in-game but for me I had a relatively high FPS but a very sluggish game, mouse movement, key input etc.. I set it to use the NVIDIA card now it's silky smooth. If this is the case, once in NVIDIA's control panel, go to Program Settings, select the Project Argo exe and then just change the GPU. (apologies if you know how to do that, just figured I'd explain to save time if you didn't).

    ARMA - Too realistic, again!...

    A mate of mine spotted this today. Thought it was definitely worth sharing here (couldn't find it already posted..). This time Estonia's Twitter channel are the folk who have made the mistake. https://twitter.com/estNATO/status/642944526672396288 One of these things are not like the other ones.... The worst part is, Germany isn't even sending in modern units!? http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=7956 For shame Germany! :P

    Legal violations by A3L: Arma 3 life

    I am not sure if this information can be of use to anyone here but as it's not yet been mentioned I thought it's worth posting. I don't really want to join in this crusade myself - Not that I don't believe in the cause, but I have too little down time as it is and this seems like a very time consuming and blood pressure increasing battle with people who don't care and think they are above the law. Anyway, on to the point... I must begin by saying I'm not sure if this is the same group/server etc.. I have nowhere near enough knowledge on the matter but from the amount of visible content it sure seems like what people have discussed here. If not, simply ignore the rambling man in the corner and continue your discussions. From about 9:25 in the music being played in the club is the same music played in Payday 2's nightclub mission. I did a quick look myself and the song wasn't released in their official soundtrack but it was made specifically for the heist. From what I could see nobody could provide a name/artist. I have no idea where they stand from a legal stand point but as the developers are very involved in their community they are probably quite easy to approach. Random vid for the nightclub mission. Music can be heard pretty much instantly. It just loops (and is very irritating after playing numerous times..) Hope this of use, if not, I apologise. Keep up the good work guys, hopefully these guys can be brought to justice or at the very least have all the content they did not create removed and then we can watch the mass exodus of their player base, who in turn demand refunds!
  4. Oh there was a trailer!? Haha... I saw the content list and just kept scrolling down to find a download link...Mybad! Very good to hear! :)
  5. Wow very nice to see a project like this! What other company would allow this too!? Simply awesome in so many ways. Any thought on having Zeus funtioning with this in the future? I'm not sure if it is already possible with AiA SA, haven't tested that out yet - but it'd be nice if it could be by default with this. Keep up the good work guys, looking forward to the upcoming release.

    Curator Presets Mod

    Hey! First of all - Great mod, adds a lot more to the Zeus mode for those of us unable to script or wanting to do things faster! I do have one question or request for the Garrison feature. Is it possible to have the units spawn without being in a group? Currently some, not all, units are scattered into different houses but are also linked together so they will then leave the building and it sort of ruins the whole Garrison effect. Would it be possible to have them all individual? As it's only used for the AI we don't really need them in groups and it is easy enough to put them together if desired. Obviously one could say it is easy to remove the group once they are spawned but by the time you get around to doing it for all the units most have moved too far and are no longer in buildings. The other thing is they all tend to abandon the building once fired upon - When I try to place units individually into buildings they tend to more or less stay put, maybe turn around to face the enemy or take a step or two to get a shot off, but they don't move out to engage. Any way to enable this as an option when placing the Garrison module? Thanks again for the great mod!

    Laptop - Quick question

    Done! Many thanks mate. I guess this is why you are a Professor!
  8. I am getting a laptop to get back into gaming, and I have a question regarding the CPU - They have on offer an i7 4700MQ 2.4ghz (boosted to 3.4) and for not a huge increase, 4800MQ, 2.7ghz (to 3.7) and while it's not overly expensive, I won't bother getting it unless it will greatly improve my A2 experience. I have no interest in one day being able to run A3 (Sorry BI :( ) so A2/OA is my only concern. Anyone able to shed some light? Is that .3ghz going to do much? Just to help - It also has 16gb ram, GTX 770m (3gb) and an SSD for the primary drive. Thanks in advance and looking forward to getting back into A2!!! :D Nok

    Laptop - Quick question

    Q&A Of course!! Such an idiot...Okay, will post this in there instead - I don't suppose I can delete the thread myself to help the mods and avoid further embarassment? :p
  10. Hey, first of all I thought there used to be an all encompassing "will my computer run this" or "what specs do I need" thread - Where did that go?..I may just not be looking in the right area, if so, sorry! I would have used that had I been able to find it, so I apologise for (probably) posting this in the wrong section. However it shall be a very short thread I suspect.. I am getting a laptop to get back into gaming, and I have a question regarding the CPU - They have on offer an i7 4700MQ 2.4ghz (boosted to 3.4) and for not a huge increase, 4800MQ, 2.7ghz (to 3.7) and while it's not overly expensive, I won't bother getting it unless it will greatly improve my A2 experience.

    Take On Mars - New BIS Game

    Take on water, like a ship that's sinking... On a more serious note - Any hope of there one day being a decent tank sim released? Graviteam are no longer throwing their hat into the ring, and without them there's a huge shortage of tank sims...
  12. Hang on, do you mean to say you actually got flight time?! I was met with CTD everytime I tried to start a game. Instant action - Nope, CTD. (for all 3 options) Campaign - Nope, CTD. Ahh, I'll try to generate my own mission...Nope, CTD. Speaking of options - Anyone else notice the "high" missing from the textures and scenes options, and no option for HDR? :j: Is this their version of BAF/PMC lite perhaps? Extremely disappointed with this game, and company. After hearing such good things about DCS I was excited to see this free to play option, and while it may be the case that it's just this version which is corrupted (or just my bad luck) what other people describe about their business model has put me off ever giving them any of my money.

    ArmA:CO Wont start!!!

    ARMA: CO can refer to ARMA: Combat Operations too y'know... :rolleyes: As for the issue, lke ArmAriffic says - You should give more details as to what specs you are trying to run this on. It makes it easier to help when people know if it's the game or your PC which has caused the issue to arise. Have you tried other demos? I was recently playing the ARMA:CO demo myself, version 1.06 and it worked fine..More than I can say about the full version :p But that matter is (hopefully) being resolved now. http://www.armedassault.com/dwnl_demo.html - I got my demo from the first link, if that helps, could you try downloading it again? Maybe the download or install was corrupt.
  14. Yes there does appear to be a lot of confusion surrounding this latest patch. Some claiming everything is fixed now, others saying it's broken now. I am currently in the process of discussing the issue with a member of Sprocket. I intend to open a new thread to hopefully gain some more attention from the devs here on the forums. However I will wait for more information/facts so I can make it a detailed thread, hopefully with some solutions others can use.
  15. @Snafu - I bought ARMA Gold from Sprocket. It downloads as 1.18, I can't try any earlier patches, nor any beta patches. More news, adding even more confusion to the matter. Perhaps a mod/admin can shed some light on what is happening? I downloaded the ARMA Gold demo to see if it was a hardware issue (from here http://www.ausgamers.com/files/details/html/28003 ) and installed it - It runs fine.... The version appears to be 1.06.5149 - Released in/around 2007. It also had ATARI flash up amongst the loading screens if that helps. I maxed out the settings to check if it works, and while the FPS won't go above 20, it still runs well enough to be played (and of course would be fine when I lower the graphics a bit here/there). So I can't see how my graphics can now be causing an issue with the updated, Gold version. Were there some major changes in the engine which could have caused this? Pics to follow There must be a reason why this has happened. Stock ARMA (1.06) works, ARMA Gold (1.18) does not..ARMA 2 (1.59) does work, OA works, BAF/PLC works....What has happened?
