First off before posting I want to apologize in advance if this is in the wrong area, I searched as well to make sure a post wasn't created, this is just a general discussion about an Idea and wanted to know what the community thought about it just to strike up ideas. I was thinking the other night, what if you could use the VBS/ARMA engine for things out side of mil sim, like opening it up to a social game. What I mean by this, keep the mil sim if wanted but add an aspect of being a social game as well with dedicated servers. Could draw in a different variety of players in that regard. Almost like Island life but having a political system and mixing it with mil sim as an actual functioning country. At the same time could have different maps/ countries and these countries could be managed by people voted in to office and could declare wars on each other and that's where the military aspect could come in. Would take this to an entire different level of mil sim. Would be simulated politics with mil sim. Like I said before JUST AN IDEA. I haven't even worked out all the kinks with it, just was thinking something like that would be cool.

See that is what I am talking about, even as far as adding stuff for people that don't want arma for the mil sim, like social sites where they can buy houses like sims and stuff and go to night clubs and all that, like 2 entirely separate game worlds in to one. When I explained this to my friends they thought of Atlis life but I mean actual countries, the problems are player populations, keeping them up. I would try limiting that so the players would be on the few servers. Would be like an open world MMO but real life worlds/ countries. I don't know if the technologies are there for it but it would be unique and different, I think it would draw people from other areas of gaming, I just don't know how you could fit that many people and islands on to one server with the technology out there right now. I love arma and have since it debut in 2001 in the US and I am still here today buying all the games BIS puts out because I support them 100 percent, I would be excited to see something like this done. Like I said in the previous post, was just an Idea I had and just wanted to see what the community thought of it. The other thing, if there was a way to link servers so each country could have their own server, but some how link them together, I know that it doesn't exist but would be cool, just looking to the way down the road future of mil sims and stuff.

I just thought I would re strike up a conversation the community had back in 2011 about a Biological weapons mod. Sparked back up in my head from watching the movie Outbreak tonight on HBO and what's happening in Africa with Ebola right now. I want to see if a mod like this wouldn't be useful still for mission making? I was thinking if there was a way you could let your soldiers in game get sick slowly. In a sense like DayZ when you catch a cold and it progressively gets worse unless you have a MOPP suite on. Just a interesting discussion. I do not know how to mod or I would work on this. May learn to see if I could make something like this. Anyways just a thought guys. Good day.

None of this matters to me anymore, all I know, the game ran fine before this patch. Now game runs horribly and it's not just me. If BIS would take the time and read what people are posting about this new patch then they would know it DOES NOT WORK.

Good job BIS, Focusing on one MOD which most of the changlog applies to DayZ, and pretty much say screw the people who don't play DayZ, it has messed up the entire game. Why rush the patch? Frame rates have bombed out for me, I have a I5 2500 K OC 4.5 GHZ with a 560 TI with the most updated driver, 16 Gigs of Rip Jaw memory, running on a SSD, I was getting 75 FPS on Chernarus on EDITOR now Im only getting 35 frames after this patch, game starts up in options menu?????? I have bought EVERY Arma game and expansion, I have purchased from BIS since Operation Flash Point 2001, and after this I don't even want to mess with anymore BIS products and you will get someone on here saying well don't act like this over one patch.... It is not over one patch, this is complete BS. Someone buys their product they are suppose to produce a product and why would I spend money on something that doesn't work anymore? That's being stupid if you ask me. I know a community right now that is saying they demand Arma 3 for free because of putting up with all of this. We spend our own personal money on servers and because of this stupid patch for DayZ, the ones of us who play regular military simulator Arma 2 can't play now. This is the worst thing I have ever seen happen to Arma 2 and the arma series. Our community is voting to go back to 1.60 until you all get your act together at BIS. The community leader told me to tell you all were voting to go back to Mine craft because of the 1.62 patch. This is horrible. Great work guys.

Nevermind I fixed problem, just reinstalled entire game and backed up all missions and mods, if anyone else has same problem read above at post I placed before this, Patch runs great BIS.

Getting this error when trying to run the exe, can anyone help me on getting this to work. Thanks. I do have Arma 2 in my D: drive but I can't figure out how to change the install directory of the patch..... ! C:\Users\Josh\AppData\Local\Temp\ARMA2OACORFT_Update_162.zip: Cannot open C:\Users\Josh\AppData\Local\Temp\ARMA2OACORFT_Update_162.zip The system cannot find the file specified. ! Cannot execute "C:\Users\Josh\AppData\Local\Temp\Rar$EX22.256\ARMA2OA_Update_162.exe" Also getting another error ARMA 2 OA is not installed on your computer or installation is corrupted which I have downloaded almost all mirrors. Thanks for the help you all if you can help me with this issue.

Exall thanks for making this mod for the community, looks GREAT!!!!!

Yes I believe so. Pretty cool stuff, thanks W0lle.

Hey everyone, Im getting the same error as that guy, the game version I am running is ArmA2 CO 1.60, no mods running, cant figure it out. Please help.

Just a silly question but is the mig 29 ready to be downloaded yet? I seen on youtube where someone already had a mig 29 on their game. I been looking for a mig 29 forever.

So is this physx thing bad or good???? I'm know a little bit about computers but nothing about program engines.

So I found some old threads from April 2009, right before arma 2 came out, seeing how excited people were about the release and when it finally released the let down of all the issues, I really pray Arma 3 has less issues but expect the worse. I didn't buy Arma until march 2011 so I didn't get to expirence the last release but from the way people make it sound it could be rough the first couple months after release. ---------- Post added at 01:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 AM ---------- Well bad news update lol something fell out of my pc around my processor..... Around the massive heat sink I have lol, sounded like a screw. Everything seems fine but stopped running so I can investigate my machine. Lol arma is litterally killing my computer lol

I see massive frame rate issues with this game, even for decent rigs. I pray everyone can play it. I should be good, I 5 2500k oc 4.5 mhz and NVIDIA geforce 560 Ti. You can have that set up pretty cheaply.

I believe that's what I was using ---------- Post added at 04:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ---------- Microsoft office word

Yep called open box specials at new egg, I saw a 680 go for 275 dollars, when it posted it was gone in 10 seconds lol, but you do see them come threw for Cheap and thanks maverick. ---------- Post added at 11:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 AM ---------- Hey sorry I thought you were maverick, but thanks for writing back. I agree with you 100 percent, so your sayin I'm good CPU wise but upgrade gpu.

Hey thanks so much, pulled atleast 20 more fps, up to average FPS 65, wanted to ask on the cfg file, I tried atoc 7 to 0 which is the no grass and changed it but I'm scared to save because I get this message, ArmA2OA.cfg may contain features that are not compatible with plain text format. Do you want to save this document in this format? To save click yes To preserve formatting click no, then save copy in the latest word format. Question how do I save in latest word format? Or can I ignore this and just save?

Just a question, I'm hearing 50 50 down the line, are we looking at the same low FPS as with arma 2. O and maverick quick question, would upgrading my 560 ti to 680 boost my frames or is it a waste since arma is demanding on cpu? I'm running the I5 2500 k oc 4.5, just wanting your opinion.

So I'm only averaging mid 30s on pretty highest with aa turned off, v sync off, terrain detail off, background programs off, I have a 560 ti geforce, I 5 2500 k oc 4.5 ghz, Asus Z 68 mother board Windows 7 64 bit operating system, Ssd drive 1 tarabyte hard drive 16 gig ram 1333 ddr Corsair 700 watt power supply 10 fans including 3 120mm fans For some reason when a lot happens on game frames dip, I'm sick of trying to figure it out. Machine is running cool, I have msi afterburner running and my machine is running only 120 degrees which is super cool and my frame counter is hitting low 30s, want to run in mid 60s highest setting, so I'm curious, gpu upgrade time to 680 or CPU upgrade to I7 2600k? But from my understanding, there are no games out right now that use more than 3 to 4 cores. Any advice would be great. Thanks.

Well nevermind, just reinstalling everything.

I need to explain alot so you all understand the problem fully so please bare with me. I down loaded LK Nuke Script, I tried making it work and it didn't, well in editor when I made a mission some how it saved and went over to Scenarios and it's in that list now and I can not find the mission pbo. I went to my documents and deleted all saves out of the saved folders. I then restarted the game and the scenario is still there. I can not find out where it is located. I was curious if there was a way I could go in and delete the mission from my scenarios from a list of scenarios? I can not locate any file and I haven't found much on the issue from the internet. Please help anyone. I do not want to re install the entire program.

What's going on everyone, well sorry I never came back to let you know how my issue with the F 18 went, with the drop tank only and no weapons, I been working 80+ hour weeks so I havent had time to play as much as I would like:mad: I downloaded all the lastest patches, I bought Arma Reinforcements and the British kick ass, question, I think I was talking to Proto about this about a month ago, but you said delete all my mods out and re add them one by one, the only question I have and I forgot but what would the Target line look like? -mod@foldername, say if I have multiple different folders. Thanks...

Thanks you all I will try that. prototype would you suggest me re doing all my mods?

I don't have the horrible steam version, I have combined ops, Version 1.06.70710, Mods I have running, well their all running in the same folder and I have about 30 different mods lol. I will get back on and list all of them if you need them.

Hello Mandoble I have a issue that I keep getting when I try down loading MMA, Include file mando_missiles\mando_missile.h not found. That's the Error message I keep getting. I don't know what I am doing wrong.
