    Bandwidth is not the problem. Hosting with my PC is cos even without hosting I am struggling with the fps, with hosting it is constantly < 20 :(

    ---------- Post added at 02:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 PM ----------

    Q: Is there a way to bind e.g. zoom to Mouse 4/5/6/etc. + mouse wheel. Or Ctrl + wheel.

    Q: is there an option for Crouch Toggle lurking somewhere, cos i cant find it...

    Any advice?

    Q: Where is the config file and line to edit VOIP quality when hosting a game?

    Now the sound just sucks when i try to host.

    What are you talking about? In A2 to get better frames ( i take that means better fps) cpu is the main contributing factor. And the low cpu usage is not good when fps is low.

    Myke earlier explained quite well what is the cause of this... it got me thinking...

    Have you guys with quads tried running a dedicated server with 2 cores and playing with the remaining 2 cores? Would that be any more efficient?

    Is this OA compatible? It only works for me with vanilla Arma 2. When loaded with OA, the legs are all crushed up into the body and the model is sunk into the ground. Am I missing something?

    I cant get this to work on vanilla, OA nor CO.

    Everytime the legs are inside the body or whatnot... weird. See video:

    Also i get an error about a missing jetpack.paa

    + A2 crashes after i leave the editor.

    Might this be problem with 1.09 or vA2?

    It would help a lot if connecting to servers was a one-click-deal.

    If you don't have the mods needed, you will download them from the server or from fastdownload server.

    Those servers that do not run the latest official patch have to put BETA in the server name.

    I don't mind the game being hard to learn and master but it just frustrates a lot when you have to hassle around with million mods and addons and correct patch versions to even be enable to connect to mp-game.

    Just out of curiosity, have you tried running Arma2 with 2 cores only to see if the usage goes to near 100%. I have only C2D and Arma2 CO brings it to its knees all the time, everywhere. Vanilla A2 seems to use a tiny bit less cpu than OA/CO. And buddy of mine with Q9300 with only vA2 has about the same usages as you.

    Also try chernarus with different amount of AI soldiers so you see where your limit goes before the fps drops. I assume that without AI or with just 1-2, you should have quite good fps in most places, except inside villages.

    You have some pretty awesome vehicles for this mod. And they look brilliant so far from outside.

    One thing, how are the interiors? Will you be changing the default A2 drivers view as well as the gunners/commanders view?

    Now the drivers view is usually too narrow with periscope to see anything, and gunner and commander can usually zoom their view which doesn't fit to most ww2 era vehicles at all...

    How about some video clips in the future?

    Indeed. Took some more digging and testing. Thanks.

    I copied A2 on top of OA and now it works.

    But there must be some other means to do this, right?

    Edit:

    I was missing "" before and after the -mod line, so this was the final shortcut that worked:

    "H:\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\arma2oaserver.exe" -port=2302 -name=default -config=default\server.cfg -cfg=default\Arma2.cfg -profiles=default "-mod=H:\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2;Expansion;ca"

    I am running Steam version so they files are in separate folders.

    I've run the .bat to combine those folders cos the server pc is old and has only igp which wont run the game itself.

    I've also tried with my regular pc and it wont run it. Although I play CO normally with it.

    Idk, perhaps i have just done something wrong...

    Edit. I copied A2 on top of OA and now it works.

    Edit2: some stupid questions, how do i disable 3rd person view and crosshair server side? And how do i allow players to use what ever mod they want to?

    Still no solution to this problem :/

    I think I figured out what was wrong. I checked the steam script that launches the combined ops and I was missing a -mod=ca; from there. Dunno what this ca does but apparentally it fixed the launching of the server.

    This did not solve the problem for me. I am trying to launch a CO server but when i try to play some mission from A2 it says in the rtp:

    2011/04/01, 19:12:35 Missing addons detected:

    2011/04/01, 19:12:35 Warning Message: You cannot play/edit this mission; it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted.chernarus

    Start parameters:

    Any advice how to solve this?
