Exactly my point! We have to live with this. And of course there will always be quitters. Warfare games can be very looooong. Keep on rockin' Gossamer! Btw, I really miss something on the OPFOR-side. A light attack chopper (and cheap) just like the BLUEFOR Little Bird. I don't know much about real world choppers. But shouldn't Russian have a similar chopper? I haven't seen any in the world of Arma. :(

Thanks for the server tips guys! Will look into that this evening. ---------- Post added at 09:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 AM ---------- Yeah, but there will still be a problem when people DC. A standard team switch isn't any good in Warfare. Knowing enemy bases and so on.

I have big problems finding any good servers to play this mission on. I'm using the ingame server browser, no passwords and such. Tips? Is there any Gossamer only servers with people on?

Tanks are working good for me too. But the **** Stryker likes to fly and flip from time to time. Supply Trucks get stuck on a certain bridge in Chernarus. ---------- Post added at 04:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:00 PM ---------- I haven't seen that bug before this beta so I naturally posted it here. Hope you can live with it! :)

I don't know but maybe it's a good idea. Problem: Sometimes I find it somewhat "clumsy" to press SHIFT+[F-KEY] to select the whole group. For example SHIFT+F10 needs two hands. How about enabling a double tap feature? F10+F10 = SHIFT+F10. It's not a big deal really but why not? :) EDIT: TEAM is probably a better word for GROUP! My bad! :)

Haha, yeah. But to be honest it doesn't look good. I don't care about 60 000km view distance if everything look pale and flat. Nice graphics isn't about numbers. Not for me anyway. It's more about design. Arma 2 (all BIS games) have the same problem in some degree. Focusing on how many leafs a tree has. And not how it actually look or how/if the computer can handle it. My comp for example can't.

I had a good time for a couple of minutes ago. Started up a nice Bennys Warfare and captured some cities. "It's time to move the HQ". Fast travel is normally a good thing. Not today... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9V2ap6ljG3U

Don't give him any ideas! :)

Yaaaay! The best mod get better! :) Will try it right away. EDIT: NOOOO, can't use it in Warfare yet. :(

I find XP SP3 very stable and "snappy". No eyecandy makes it clean and fast. BUT, Windows 7 is prettier, and have a lot of nice features. And I need W7 64bit when producing music. 32bit is a big mess with lot of samples. :) If I was forced to choose only one OS. Windows 7 64bit is the absolute winner!

I get better Performance with XP 32bit than Windows 7 64bit. Smoother but NOT better FPS. Two different things. The FPS is about the same. I'm dualbooting so it's easy for me to switch back and fourth. No reinstalls what so ever. Some people say that W7 is faster. Other say that XP is faster. For me it's XP.

With a 16GB you can use around 12GB for RAMDISK. With 6GB you can use around 2GB for RAMDISK. And so on. You don't NEED to put the whole game on the RAMDISK. Performance-wise you only need to put the files that are most often accesed by the game. buildings.pbo and takistan.pbo for example. And foilage, trees... I've seen people with only 1GB RAMDISKs showing better performance. Remember, it's not FPS-related. Less stuttering and LOS issues. You don't NEED an SSD when using a big RAMDISK. But as you are saying it will speed up things related to the OS and copying files to the RAMDISK. I'm planning to buy a nice SSD later on. Arma 2 doesn't cache files in Virtual Memory/pagefile last time i checked. As a general rule, from fastest to slowest. 1. RAM. I get over 8000MB/s (or was it 6000MB/s) in read speed. Nearly ZERO access time. Like: 0.006 don't remember. 2. SSD. Hmm, around 300MB/s? And pretty low access time. 3. HDD. My disks does around 80-120MB/s. 12, 8ms in accesstime. You can find all the answers you want by just googleing "Arma 2 RAMDISK".

It works just as a normal harddrive but is created in RAM. It's WAAAAAY faster than both normal harddrives and SSDs. There is many ramdisk apps out there. I use Dataram which is free if you dont want disks larger than 4GB. I however use 10-12GB for ramdisk. I paid like 10 bucks for the premium version. Worth it imo. I have 16GB RAM in my system which allows me to put whole Arma 2: OA and some of Arma 2 on it. 6GB in TOTAL RAM is minimum when it comes to using ramdisks. In my opinion. The more of Arma 2 you can put on the RAMDISK the better. Some pbos are used more often so do some searching. Google "Arma 2 ramdisk" and you will find some good stuff.

I tried it on Takistan with CO. It's not island or viewdistance related. Also the different graphics settings give the same problem. My computer should be able to run this. The gunner optics works great after all. The easy fix for me is deleting the .pbo for TADS/Optics. That's the great thing with this mod. You can delete the .pbos you don't want. :) I actually fly helis quite a lot. From time to time that is. Thanks for your assistance though! :)

A long and boring video about my problem with the optics. You can clearly see my FPS going up and down (mostly down) when piloting. (Fast forward to 1:58.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNnPQQB0tOY I have the same problem with W7 64bit and CO. Oh, I haven't tried with W7 and Arma 2. Do keep in mind, I never play Arma 2 nowadays when I have CO. There is no real reason. :) (Need sleep, sorry for my extra bad english. :) )

Does this happen in the newer beta as well? If yes, I will try this tomorrow.

Waypoints aren't any good. I actually want them to follow me without too much of a hazzle. I wouldn't have time to do any fighting if updating 30 waypoints a minute. The flank thing could work. I will try that, thanks for the tip! :) But still, they shouldn't crash in the first time!

Yeah, I know! :) Tilde is almost like SPACE (there are some differences though). But I'm talking about teams. Usually like this. F2, F3, F4, 9, 1 = Red team. (Tank 1) F5, F6, F7, 9, 2 = Green team. (Tank 2)

The Apache thing was tested in CO. I've done further testing though: Arma 2 (no beta - just CBA, CBA_A2 and A2WarMod). Same problem when piloting. Mouse input and/or FPS takes a fly out the window. BUT Gunner works great with optics. CO (no beta - just CBA and A2WarMod) Same as with Arma 2. Gunner optics works great. Pilot does not. It suffers from low FPS and mouse trouble. Zooming works good as usual. Hope this helps! :)

Haha, I used this launcher for a while now and I never noticed the Server Browser. :) Shame on me. I haven't done much MP though. This will help.

You don't need to set one WP at every turn. But use the SAFE mode for the WP. It should stay on the road. But you never know. :)

I'm sorry to report two things just after like 5 minutes of play. I run CO and the latest beta. 1. Takistan doesn't have Dynamic Sound. (Yeah, I know this mod isn't for CO.) Not a bug. It shouldn't have DS for Takistan. 2. Apache. I cranked the baby up and opened the MFD. #6 for TADS and then # 1 for +Optics. The zooming worked great but the mouse movement worked really bad. Heavy stuttering and missing a lot of mouse input so to speak. Felt like an old "ball-mouse" with 3kg dust in it. Tried with an AI gunner with the same symptoms.

1. Try verifying your Steam cache. Don't recall the exact term, bur right-click in Steam. 2. Start Steam as an admin. (Actually this would be step #1. :) ) "expected 676064447 B, got 644218880 B" I got a similar error when using a bad RAMDISK app. A read-error that is. Sounds like corrupted files.

Yeah I do that sometimes. But after some time the groups get messed up (Unit dies). EDIT: And in Warfare tank crews come in series. :) SHIFT + F1 - F7 works. But F8, F9 and F10 forces me using both hands. Or wait... How about RSHIFT? Haven't tried.
