Heya's

If anyones using ATI cards, go google for catalyst 9.7 driver, not officially on site yet but a nice source got hold of them and they are whql'ed

They are solid with a new interface too :)

No need to use the -winxp to get crossfire working in arma2 ;)

Using vista x64 with crossfired 4890's if that matters

Yeah was good fun! Now I've learnt where I'm meant to be I won't fly people round half the map on the "scenic" route lol. Was fun buzzing your tank on the way back though in the heli.

With regards to the new "jail" thing being added on for TK, how does that work in the heli? Someone ran into (ahem) the path of a stray bullet when we were in the Cobra, yet you were given the TK! Heli flying isn't too bad overall as it's the same as OFP so was easy to get back in to.

I've now changed my name so I'm no longer "Viper" but will be on with my OCUK name for the next game \o/

It doesnt run perfectly on my Q9550 with 4GB ram though. When flying there seems to be a slight load lag every couple of seconds so not sure if thats the hard disk bottlenecking it or the 8800GT. The 4 cores certainly take a pounding but overall it's an awsome game so far! One minute you're in a forest on foot hiding behind a tree, the next you're up in the air TK from above in the cobra! The cobras machine gun is so satisfying lol.

Thats a goop point on the TK,
Viper got all kills as gunner on the Cobra, no big deal but when he shot one of our troops i was given the TK!!!!! so how the hell does that work ? id be punished for some one else mistake?

Thanks mate, downloading now.

Did you notice a performance boost in Arma2? I am shocked that I can't run everything on max settings with my rig :(- well I can but get very low fps :(

Lmao XysteR,

Yeah, over 2hrs trying to get off the darn carrier, then i hitched a lift in a helo

Then the pilot switches to manual aiming and starts hosing the damn carrier

I bailed and went in the drink, only to swim around the carrier for 10mins to find no way to get back on deck

Then i heads to the island just north

After endless swimming, got a kindly helo pilot to land, but the helo enter bug stopped me from getting in !!!

And to top and i mean top all this

Whilst swimming for hours to the ******* island i lost my weapons !!!! hummphhh

Yeah i think one of those box jellyfish almost got me, and i had to hold my bladder in case one of those wee wee fish wanted to hitch a lift ashore with me !!

Crabs i caught from the lady who runs the lighthouse on the island lmao

Fun in a way, but man the tk'ing is bad

btw that guys name was Thommi

also that skidmark guy lefthandskid or somert, Cor would rem his name lol

This is where i swam ashore ................

Turn off post processing and try again

Ok will try.

I am not sure if I am expecting too much for this game from my rig or if I have done something wrong some where. I know I cant seem to shift that vsync, going to format tonight I think. but I managed to get 60 FPS last night with everything on normal with Shadows Off and Postprocess off. The game still looked ok but I guess on my rig I expected everything to be able to be ran on high, maybe a bit of a over expectation.
Anything I upped really dropped my back down to 22-30fps which I noticed a lot. I was happy running at 60FPS, set draw distance to 1200 which I thought was, would have liked 1500 however when I started sniping my FPS still dropped back down to 15-20 which really effected my snipeing.

Not sure if I have done something wrong or its just Arma2, even installing the new Catalyst drivers this morning did not really do anything. Not sure if buying a 3rd graphics card will help or what as in my opinion my spec should be more than enough to handle it all on max.


The only thing I can think of is the tweaks I did to improve my SSD speed effect gaming so I guess a format tonight should cancel out that idea.
 
Woohoo, Ive moved up 7 places to number 6 on the server :):)

I Get some good points doing the odd side mission myself cos no-one else does them.


Parachute in, get within sniping distance and blammo.


Done two take the tower down so far on my own :D
 
New mission added to server. Sounds good for a quick blast rather than a long haul...
1. Operation Foothold (co20)
5 man squads. The theater of operations is Chernarus, where the USMC are attacking RUSSIAN controlled territory.

First Objective:
Capture Port Balota - Travel by sea from the barge and capture Port Balota. Follow the buoy string to reach the coast and choose one of the suggested landings. You may then make your way along the coast and capture Port Balota.

Second Objective:
Destroy Radio Tower - As a prelude to an all out assault on Balota Airstrip, take out the main Radio Tower. This is vital to preventing the enemy from calling in reinforcement not to mention preserving the element of surprise in our next objective. Failure to destroy the Radio Antenna before assaulting Balota Airstrip may have dire consequences! (hint: any explosive should do the trick)

Third Objective:
Capture Balota Airstrip - With the communications tower destroyed, the enemy can not call for reinforcements or report our presence. We can now capture Balota Airstrip and plan the next phase of our operation.

Final Objective:
Attack Chernogorsk - We have laid the groundwork for this main assault on the manufacturing city of LAGTOWN. Eliminate enemy assets and capture the city of Chernogorsk. This will deal a severe blow to enemy production capabilities. Expect to perform house-to-house combat as you clear the city unless you utilize armor or air strikes to burn it to the ground!

Optional Objectives:
-Optional: Perform a surprise attack on the main enemy airbase in the North. Destroy their air force as it sits on the tarmac!
-Optional: Perform a surprise attack on the enemy tank depot in the city of Elektrozavodsk. Destroy their armor as it sits idle!

Note on Optional Objectives: Bypassing these two may end up with you receiving some inbound enemy reinforcements (which are tracked on your map) but it's nothing you can't handle right?

Hope to be online with you all again soon :)

Will do, its still not here yet, it'll prolly be here this afternoon so should be here by the time i get in from work :D

Apparently it only uses 1 GPU on Windows 7 I believe and you have to add -winxp to the shortcut, I could however be wrong.

I'd be interested if it effects me on Vista 64 and 2 X 4870X2's? If it does how to remedy?

I've got a ton, so much so that I've had to stop recording in MP as I tend to hit record when I join then forget about it, exit some time later and have hundreds of gigs of recordings lol :(

L33 would you be kind enough to post up your config files/e-mail me them please for me please, we are on basically identical rigs (apart from your CPU) - e-mail in trust if not its cool :)

Just trying to get to the bottom of my issues.


One more question do I need to set CCC to do programme settings for things like AA etc or do I force 16x AA and what not.
Thanks
