I play MP most of the time, firewall wouldn't help against this kind of attack I think. Shellcode is taking advantage of vulnerabilities in app to take control of the target machine. It's very risky. I hope some other people are also experiencing this as well and hopefully it's a false positive. Running the game using admin right is stupid however. OA would make you to run it on admin rights when battleeye is used in game.:( Now I can't even run the game. I may have to exclude the app from bufferoverflow detection

Yes it would work I assume but according to COMODO Internet Security some hidden program would also be run that would enable some people to take over my machine :rolleyes: Running the app when the security app is telling you it's potentially dangerous would make using the security app kind of pointless . . . . .

No Im not using COMODO sandbox It's OA retail(boxed) version merged with ArmA 2 retail version

Already using latest version. It's a security app COMODO Internet Security. The warning comes out whenever trying to launch Combined operation. launching beta version of Combined Operation would not result in the warning being shown.

I did google it but found nothing...well I didn't look past the first page or maybe I was googling the wrong keyword. Any link to those? Besides it's already version 4.0 now those quotes are irrelevant.

As the pic states Combined operation: arma2oa.exe With ACE2 add on and mando missile add on. Not running the game with add-on would also result in the same warning. The beta would not give the warning though Detection is done by COMODO CIS(COMODO Internet Security)

Thanks for explaining that Willa :). I'll try playing with fewer AI :rolleyes: now I know what's causing it.

Whenever I tried playing host to Warfare MP scenario even when I'm just playing by myself or even without being online the in game performance is so poor compared when I'm playing on dedicated server with exactly the same setting. What could be the cause of this?

yes they do they are used both in daylight and night time. It's not cheating. They won't make everything transparent though just pointing heat signature. Yes they can see past smoke but unable to see past trees rock or buildings.

It adds so muuuch immersion that helps me to play soo much better and save me from dying again and again. It's real firefight now. I wonder what's everyone's setting?

I consider anything below 270 okay . . . . otherwise I probably wouldn't be able to play with anyone else.

When chatting with yahoo messenger I keep pressing forward slash(/) :j:

0.50 Cal sniper rifle can't hurt even APCs such as BRDM in ArmA 2. :16_6_8: Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzeeeeeeeeeeee

I just want to comment that without ACE 2 I found for example that the sniper rifle SVD Dragunov which I use often in multiplayer has quite a weak killing power. Often than not the target would be hit but not killed or even appeared dying. And I just think ACE 2 should become the standard version :rolleyes: it just brings too many vital improvements.

He's probably just being desperate which brings to the fact that people who could afford it and wanting to play ArmA 2 would definitely buy a legitimate copy. Pirated copy would only be played by those who are unable to buy the game in the first place. So now can we have AO and ArmA 2 free of Securerom? :D CD key is enough . . .

The best is when you kill the AI in the MG nest. They teleported to just outside the nest standing up then fell like a stone statue.

:D well I hope more would come to testify

A temporary fix would be to Alt-Enter out of game then Alt-Enter back. so you don't need to quit the game. Happens to me too with ArmA 2 from time to time and it's annoying but Alt-Enter works. And I believe this problem is only happening with NVIDIA GPUs but cash mentioned it's also happening with ATI cards. I really hope this problem will be fixed in ArmA 2 and OA.

Mine not even shipped yet July 8th should be the latest shipping date and after that some weeks waiting :) I'm growing moss on my forehead meanwhile . . .

tried reading outside sources but just gave me headache. I'm more familiar with meters, centimeters, kilometers and miles instead of millirads and yards or inches. Can somebody provide a link or a step by step guide on how to snipe properly using the reticle for the different sniping rifles available in ArmA 2 and if possible in ACE 2 Extras as well? I just feel I'm more effective using the sniping rifle but poor skills with the reticle prevents me from taking out enemy soldiers from longer distance.

Im getting more or less the same performance(low 20s in campaign) Core 2 duo 2.8GHz NVidia 9800GTX+ 8 GB DDR2 800MHz RAM 7200rpm HDD Vista x64 So I would figure it's not the rig but it's the game. :) Knowing how it runs even on your machine made me to think twice before upgrading my rig just for the sake of ArmA 2 Recon if I may inquire what's your test result for benchmark 1? I'm getting 34 but the truth is getting on average 30 or high 20s most of the time. It became 34 because of the high fps gained while the camera was looking high into the sky. I updated my graphics driver yesterday and noticed that ArmA played a lot smoother and in the ArmA config file I noticed it registered 7 frames detected ahead instead of the usual 3. But a game later something seemed to kick in and the performance became like it always had and the detected frames ahead became 3 again. I believe ArmA 2 is capable of waay smoother gameplay even on my rig but something something is weighing the performance down.

I'm too awaiting this mod with great anticipation. :bounce3:

You mean Asia version? You've had your copy? I'm still waiting to be shipped :rolleyes: Where are you residing if I may ask?

Yea online is a big part of this game that would make it to have unlimited replay value. You're losing substantial value of ArmA if you don't play it online. Never mind losing the game or losing the kill tally just have some fun online pretending you're a soldier with other fellow soldiers.

I've ordered Arrowhead and now awaiting my copy to arrive probably in the next 2 weeks the latest. We've heard comments that seemingly described or promised that OA would run better than ArmA 2 and would benefit with optimization already in ArmA 2 patches. So for those who are already playing it, does it run better than ArmA 2? Or worse? If better or worse just how much better or how much worse?! Thanks EDIT: I [We] would appreciate it more if you would post your PC configuration and even better with in game graphical settings.
