AriseAbove

Epic moments, um well theres at least one of those every Mission. Don't know if you could really call this Epic, more funny and WTF. Just playing Dom on our clan server and in the process of cleaning up the objective we came across this, how it got up there in perfect nic I do not know lol. First 3 shots are from my perspective and the last is my mates looking at me the jeep and our over head friend putting some light on the matter. http://www.mvmclan.com/mvmfiles/AriseAbove/oajeep1.jpg > 100kb http://www.mvmclan.com/mvmfiles/AriseAbove/oajeep2.jpg > 100kb http://www.mvmclan.com/mvmfiles/AriseAbove/oajeep3.jpg > 100kb And from my mates point of view,

I'm not sure I understand how that connection data can be seen as a hack? It clearly says the player is using a config file and some mods nothing about hacks. Config files and mods are NOT hacks although some config files go dam close. Why anybody feels the need to hack in this game is beyond me, theres no epeen stats to record on scoreboards once you leave the server assuming the particular mission is finished you have to start all over again score wise. You'll find heaps of hackers in games like COD & BF but not sim games come on. What you got owned by a better player and as you can't be beaten he must be hacking, heard it all before. I have been playing Arma2 since release and more recently OA, I have admined two servers and I have NEVER seen a hacker, I have seen BE boot for mods though but thats it. I love Arma for being a hack free game its fantastic and even advertise it as such to Friends looking for a new game. Also it might pay to check peoples pings before you go calling hack lol.

Man I hope so, I'm having Major Arma withdrawals well really Domi lol.

Well if you want to run Arma2 with those settings you will need to upgrade everthing else as well, by the look of it thats a pretty old system and just updating the gpu won't really do much. Also what type of box do you have? Again its an old pc and your box might be to small for some of the new GPU's as there MASSIVE. As for what GPU for what price try Toms Hardware http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/charts/graphics-cards,1.html They have lots of bench tests comparing all GPU's in particular price ranges. Personally I would go either an ATI HD5850 or an Nvidia GTX470, there both pretty much as good as each other but ATI does offer more bang for you buck so to speak. I currently run an ATI 5850 in my i7 and an Nvidia GTX 460 in my C2d, there both pretty much the same obviously I get better performance in the i7 cause of the cpu but other than that honestly there pretty much on par except ATI is currently cheaper. You may find a lot of Nvidia and ATI fanboys flaming each other but try skip past the childish nonsense and find whats right for you.

G Day All, Didn't want to start a new thread as there seems enough already anyway thought this would be the best spot. Since the 1.55 patch our clan server is constantly crashing:crazy: It was stable before the patch, we could run it non stop for weeks on end but now after an hr or two it dies Its not a proper dedicated server as such its just ran off a clan mates spare pc it is a quad core and more than sufficient to run a server, He is in NZ so other than a bit of lag here and there the server ran sweet before the patch. Below is the the error message from the .rpt file. from my mates pc who hosts the server, He said "he notice Pixel shader 2.0 support is required, funny thing is it all worked with 1.54." ===================================================================== == c:\program files\steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\ArmA2OA.exe == "c:\program files\steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\ArmA2OA.exe" ===================================================================== Exe timestamp: 2010/07/29 06:23:43 Current time: 2010/08/05 13:44:07 Item str_disp_server_control listed twice Cannot register unknown string STR_USRACT_INDICATE_LEFT Cannot register unknown string STR_USRACT_INDICATE_RIGHT Cannot register unknown string STR_USRACT_HAZARD_LIGHTS Cannot register unknown string STR_USRACT_INTERACT_VEH Cannot register unknown string STR_USRACT_PERS_ITEMS Cannot register unknown string STR_USRACT_QUICK_ENTER Cannot register unknown string STR_USRACT_COMM_OVERRIDE Cannot register unknown string STR_USRACT_TI_Brightness_Inc Cannot register unknown string STR_USRACT_TI_Brightness_Dec Cannot register unknown string STR_USRACT_TI_Contrast_Inc Cannot register unknown string STR_USRACT_TI_Contrast_Dec Cannot register unknown string STR_USRACT_TI_AutoContrast_Toggle Updating base class ->RscText, by ca\ui\config.bin/RscSplashText/ ErrorMessage: Pixel Shader 2.0 support required ===================================================================== == c:\program files\steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\ArmA2OA.exe == "c:\program files\steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\ArmA2OA.exe" ===================================================================== Exe timestamp: 2010/08/27 16:45:08 Current time: 2010/08/27 18:27:06 Version 1.54.72938 Checking DLC for update.
