it is a damn sexy feeling. I especially like shooting out engine blocks from 1000m + the only annoying part is that little problem that a guy with a AK47 can swing around at 1500m and 1 shot you with iron sights...

ok so I turned all settings up to max but turned OFF anti aliasing and the game runs great not a crash since. does that tell anyone anything? i would like to solve the problem so I can turn it up again (the graphics are not majorly affected by it being off, but i spent this much on a comp so they could be maxed haha).

So I purchased a new comp to play and well its awesome, full settings and runs 45-60fps very happy, other then it seems to always random crash with the notice "arma 2 has stopped working" it some times takes 5 minutes from playing on a server to a hour. But it always does. you will be playing then the screen will freeze then a second later the sound will cut out, then the screen blacks out for a second and the sound comes back for a split second only to stop when you finally reach the desktop to see the notice. I have updated all the drivers, for video and sound card, ran the directx updater in the steam files. i have turned off my three mods, CBA,JSRS,WarFX. still crashes. my computer specs are Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition 990X ASUS Rampage III Black Edition Motherboard Corsair 12GB DDR3 3x4 AMD Radeon HD 6970 Corsair Force 3 Series 120GB SSD Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-FI Titanium FATAL1TY any help would be appreciated

what do you guys think about my post in the other thread about being able to put wounded soldiers into vehicles and medic them inside it. we had a LAV and I went down and for some reason my buddy put me in it while he cleared a bunch of takis. then he had to pull me out and medic me on the ground. In real life they would have medic'd me inside the vehicle. to protect him and me from small arms fire. while someone else provides over watch for rpgs ect...

So i am currently on a server and of course im shot up... so my buddy loads me into the LAV... and lets me bleed in my seat while he clears up takis. and it made me realize. that a nice touch to arma 3 would be the ability to load a wounded soldier in a vehicle and medic him inside where its safer. cause he just had to pull me out to do the medic work. now i will go back to terrorizing zargabad. peace all!

bump*** sorry its still plaguing me.... any ideas?

so i completely reinstalled windows, did drivers for everything myself (shop i bought it from did it first time) seems to get slightly better FPS and sounds better, cause i removed the soundcard,and just running the G35 headset. and i removed the thunderbolt. but sure enough it crashed again... my buddy showed me the event logs in windows and i got this error Faulting application name: ArmA2OA.exe, version: 1.59.79.384, time stamp: 0x4d8cde6f Faulting module name: unknown, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x00000000 Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x51d45a50 Faulting process id: 0x6ac4 Faulting application start time: 0x01cc980b6c14ca45 Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\ArmA2OA.exe Faulting module path: unknown Report Id: 432248f0-0401-11e1-9918-742f681ee2d1 event ID:1000 task category (100) rtp file: this time was modded but i can assure you it crashes without mods to i tested...

I tried that first and about 4 more times oddly enough. When I do arma 2 first it always has to re download 1 file every time, and then when I do operation arrowhead after /for combined operations on steam\. it always downloads 2 files...and no I don't have any of the ASUS programs installed. And I'm back at work now for 4 days. So when I get back home I will dig up those log files.

I approve!!! not that it matters :p

all the covers posted look like they are portraying a one man epic battle to save the world... the arma (official) one with night vision reminded me of splinter cell specifically. i think they should portray what makes arma different and not what every other FPS cover has (a lone solider dressed in the coolest gear setup with some sort of explosion or light streaks in the background.) Tonci87 hit it on the nail. arma is about the big picture and they should have a shot looking down to portray the wide open world you have to play in with. maybe a small team overlooking and emeny position? something similar to this shot http://www.youtube.com/user/richiespeedisback#p/u/47/zs3ebD0w2ko at 1:26ish

i have run Arma successfully for 2 years now on my Macbook Pro 17" once you get the boot camp figured you should be happy.

its a custom built one and Canadian currency I had to buy everything. tower, monitor, keyboard, mouse. plus shipping Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition 990X ASUS Rampage III Black Edition Motherboard Corsair 12GB DDR3 3x4 AMD Radeon HD 6970 Corsair Obsidian Series 800D Full Tower Case Corsair Power Supply ASUS 27IN Widescreen LCD Monitor Microsoft Windows 7 Professional Edition (usually pirate it, but even with my unlocker I have run into problems so I decided I would just purchase it) Corsair Force 3 Series 120GB SSD (turns out its back ordered so i might be getting it swapped with a OCZ Vertex 3 120GB SDD or Mushkin Chronos Deluxe 120GB SSD LG CD/DVD Logitech G19 Gaming Keyboard Logitech G500 Laser Mouse Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-FI Titanium FATAL1TY Intel PRO/1000 Ethernet Adapter with a warranty, and they build it and install all the updates and important stuff that my Mac does automatically without me having to set up or tell it to :P alot of the parts have features i wont use but i figured i would get them now in case i find out i want to use them later like the crossfire for example. and in 3 months there will be some new thing and they will be obsolete haha...

I just love the glock... shoot em in the head and it dont have to be all that powerfull :P and IT HAS A FLASHLIGHT!!! :P

I actually have played it on my Macbook Pro (top of the line model with all the bells and whistles custom built) for about a year now. and I finally just got sick of having to play on lowest settings to get above 25FPS. SO I just ordered a second gaming computer at ~$4100 not including taxes and shipping. I cant get the same enjoyment playing battlefield, or counterstrike anymore (battlefield runs over 30fps, and counter stike over 70fps) ... I found If you have the personality to play Arma it is the only game you are able to play cause everything else has lost its edge. And thats why Arma is not so popular in my opinion. I have a buddy who is a huge gaming nerd, the dude has a water-cooled $9000 tower with shit i didnt even know was out yet... I tried to get him to play arma, and his response was "I want to play games, if i wanted real life i would join the army". and that's the problem Simulators appeal to a small market base of people who have the mentality to play it. Part of me is really sad bohemia is making arma 3 in the future, I have a fear it will be more game like and less like a simulator in my mind just due to im playing with all protypes and concept stuff. Im going to purchase it and give it my best go and im sure i will warm up to it. but I honestly wish arma 3 was an updated arma 2 with better graphics, more features, more vehicles and weapons, less bugs, and bigger maps. but that's a completely different topic... and im way off track... i just wanted to second that I to believe in Arma II enough to purchase an insane computer just to play that $30 game.

wierd cause we shoot at them trying it and they wouldn't go out...:confused:

i was playing tonight in cheronus (wrong spelling) it was night, and a good suggestion came up. we need to be able to shoot out lights to allow you to advance better without you night vision getting annoyingly bright. and it needs to not get so dark at night, around the darkest peak i can see MAYBE 10m (without night vision). i know at night the moon actually lights the ground up really well and you can see figures quite easy in the dark. edit: it is probably already said, but im gunna repeat it if so, we need to integrate civilians into the multiplayer maps to make it more tactical (no more clearing AO's with bombs and mopping up with infantry). I was hearing today that the TAW server was looking to program a server to have 5 civis, to every soldier, so this may be a server controlled issue and has nothing to do with the devs. in that case sorry for wasting your time. (i know we have alot of flaming happy people on here, so im sure they will chew me out for mentioning it :P) i would also like to see Larger complex's like powerplants, mines, office buildings that you have to clear room by room (remove hosties, defuse bombs, destroy weapons caches, or just kill the dudes inside). i personally find arma a sniping biased game, everything is open and outside. i want to do close quarters combat. (and put civi's in them so mr. A10 dont just level it and say "good enough for the girls we roll with" :P ---------- Post added at 11:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 PM ---------- [/color] not meaning to flame, but i hope they dont implement this, i dont want the game to play for me, i think we should have to learn how to report properly on the radio channels, i find it more challenging and realistic.

so i skimmed through all 17 pages and never found this covered, sorry if i missed it. I feel arma 3 gaming experience would greatly improve with a lesson from battlefield bad company 2. if you shoot a gun in a building, it will have a sound quite different then outside, and it all depends on structure of the building (concrete, wood, thatched, ect...) i would be happy with even just one sound for all structures, but idealy shooting in a wood house sounds alot different then shooting in a concrete building. that is my main point, i would also like to see more in doors close combat, arma 2 OA was pretty much 100% out door long range (i remember when i started out just sitting on a mountain range with the .50 clearing whole AO's). i would like to enter big buildings and clear from room to room using proper tactics (whatever that may involve, silencers and room by room, or with concussion grenades and a rush). going along with that i would like to see civilians inside AO's and buildings, i want it so the A-10 wont just level the AO's then the foot soldiers mop up. i want laser marking to be proper, foot soldiers on the ground have to check for civis and if there are any they must either draw enemy away for air support, or used ground tactics to take out the enemy. (i also think that if foot soldier lasers a target and A-10 drops a bomb killing civis, it should count against the person who lased the target, not the A-10 pilot) as stated in god knows how many posts, the rag dolls still need work (which i am well aware you have not added weights and i know you will fix), steel crates dont fly when a truck hits them, the shift and dent and the truck crumbles... :D but with that i said, you should add damage to your vehicle when you hit something like that! and truck cant ram a container and 30MPH and drive away, and if that tank drove over that truck it would be almost flattened were the track went over. I know that this is not going to change anything, but i personally want only real weapons that are made and can be used today. i have never been in to futuristic games and even though you not doing spacecraft and such, i still dont want to be shooting all prototype weapons and helis that are not even produced. i want to see apaches, blackhawks, hueys, abrams, humvees, m4's mk17's, scars, mp4's, remingtons, barrets, glocks, m9's. through in a honda civic with a spoiler just for fun :P i dont mind if the future weapons are there, and i vrs a guy in the Comanche with my apache, i just want the real weapons for me to play with. and in reality thats even more realistic, cause there are prototypes in use in war all the time, i would also like to see your devs have fun, put a bunch of easter eggs around the map. i loved playing grand theft auto just to try and find them. it would give me something to do when im doing side missions and waiting for the next one to show up. I really love the implementation of suspensions, and the map looks brilliant, great work! im buying a new computer just for this game :P I want to know not what the minimum requirements are, but i want a post for recommended requirements to run game max settings, i will build my computer to suit. thank you for your time, if i think of something else i will post it, im off to do a shut down at a mine now so i can pay for said new computer.

i just want to help them create arma as best as possible, so i give my suggestions. as for repeating, sorry! please forgive me, but the squeaky wheel gets the grease I meant more, visual damage, i assumed they would continue with the scheme they had in arma 2 i understand mods will fill any holes, but i mainly play online, I love the ACE mod, but i find only a hand full of servers allow it, and they usually have no people in them. so i cant run ACE, or JSRS, or CBA, warfx particles, unless i manage to find a server that allows it (and has more then 5 players). it would be the same with guns, YES i could build my own scenario with whatever i want and play it single player. but i enjoy playing online with other people. no need to be a smart ass. me (and i assume alot of others) want arma 3, not to play a new game, but rather to improve on the glitchy and cumbersome arma 2. me (and i assume alot of others) want arma 2 with more, more graphics, bigger map, more guns, more vehicles, smoother play, more realistic. me (and i assume alot of others) dont want a different game, we love playing arma because its a simulator. alot like grand torsimo for the play station... every new game, just improves on the original. it went from something like 50 cars and 7 maps with shitty graphics and physics, to 1000+ cars and i dont even know how many maps, with almost perfect graphics and physics. you haven't seen them implement, flying cars yet have you (that is an exaggeration, arma 3 is not taking that far of a leap, more of a small step) sorry, bad wording, yes they are "real", what i meant was "currently in use", but i still would like them to add all the prototypes, because lets face it they are out there. its just a little timbit that adds character to the game, it can be done tastefully, don't mean they need to put a beating heart in a barn... but hey let there imagination go, i guarantee you people will enjoy finding them. and finally you said something that you right about, that was a stupid question for me to ask right now. ---------- Post added at 12:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 PM ---------- I dont know anything about engines lol... i just know what i would love to see in the game so i made my suggestion.
