It was written just before the hacker quit the chatroom. I believe that is the only implication that the "goodbye" has with anything.

Good point, but possibly a mere typo. Shall look into this.

Let me put up a suggestion for you guys: Do not participate. Go do your normal everyday business. For all I care everyone could do that, but that won't hold Bohemia back from announcing whatever they want to announce. So why even bother attending if you're finding it so excruciating? Bohemia WANTS us to participate however, because they WANT to interact with us, albeit in a ARG'y way as it may be, it is after all a way to interact. They put in alot of work to make this fit together, so I don't see why us, the fans, shouldn't be humoring them. Now seriously, quit the whining and continue solving this. Enough offtopic from me now.

MattXR and Alwarren, you are perfectly entitled to your opinions, and I do not want to strip you of them, but honestly, try keeping posts on topic according to the thread - If you don't like this ARG, go ahead and make a thread yourselves where you can rant all you want. Many of us are enjoying it, however frustrating it may be that we don't know what is what as of right now - Interactivity is key, and this is interactivity at its highest. It's a very good way of bonding together the community, if you ask me. Z probably means zulu time, as in GMT(greenwich mean time). It's the most logical explanation as of right now anyway. EDIT: Edited for a 2 time repeat of the same word.

Hi! As I recently found out, my hardware, in some respects, was pretty outdated. Especially when playing ArmA 2 (plus AO and other expansions/addons) I've noticed this. As we all know, ArmA 2 is a pretty resource-hungry game. When OA came out, I was sure that they had optimized it better. And really, I'm still sure they did. But when I started playing on the different DAO.nu valhalla maps, I noticed that the FPS dropped very drastically when Chernarus maps were loaded. This made sense because of the high abundance of trees and foliage, thus I started to consider upgrading. I went from a crappy Q8200 at a stock 2.3 to a Q9550 clocked to 3.4, and I noticed differences, but not anything drastic unfortunately. So I started wondering what else could be the cause of the FPS drops. - Mind you, I have ALWAYS played with medium to low details on everything except resolution, which is on 1920x1200. The obvious to look at is the GFX card of course. I have these current specs: ASUS P5Q SE/R S776 P45 ATXSND+GLN+UB2 (hooray for big product names) Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 at an overclocked 3.4 (bonus info: Stock cooler because there is no voltage gain = no significant temp gain) ASUS ENGTX260TOP 896 ram. Entirely stock. 2 sticks of cheap'o Kingston DDR2-800, 2048MB, CAS 5 entirely stock as well. + Entirely clean install of windows 7 on SSD, and everything that is ArmA 2 is on SSD aswell, whilst running gamebooster. This along with a Recom Powerstation. I'd say it is a considerable powerhouse for the more than casual on-a-budget gamer. But tell me; What in these specs need a REAL upgrade, to get me from the Chernarus fps of 20 or less, and Takistan fps less than 40? I've seen people after a few googles that use an nvidia 285 gfx card and DDR3 ram with details on high or very high running a stable 25 FPS! I keep asking myself the question if the switch to DDR3 (which includes a new motherboard since the one I got only supports DDR2) or a step up in graphics card would do the trick, but I really can't figure it out. If anyone can help with some information, I'd love to hear it. I'm on a budget of 730$ (or 540€), in case you have products in mind. Thanks!

What hardware should I upgrade from?

I've tried that aswell. The problem persists as always unfortunately. Sorry for not mentioning that I had tried it.
