Armed Ass(ault)

I had a moment of weakness and bought this, I really don't know why as I found OFP way too clumsy. This is more of the same really the game just doesn't feel right but I suppose it just takes getting used to... :(

A guy in the graphics section does have a 8800GTX and this.. and he was complaining about it.. basically OFP has always just been a tonne of geometry, and it still is.. we invented shaders etc to remove the load on geometry which basically requires more gfx card grunt (AFAIK).. but OFP still has a tonne of the stuff..
 
Bought the German Download version yesterday evening and have now patched it with the English translation patch.
I tried running with most settings on Normal and shadows set to low and according to FRAPS I was gettin 20-30 FPS when doing the training missions. When I loaded the Convoy Attack single mission, I don't think I got into double figures :eek:
I will try it with shadows turned off later and maybe turn a couple of the settings to low and see how that goes.

Hope they patch this, from a performance point of view, as I can't see why it is such a system hog, the graphics are good but not exactly bleeding edge and there doesn't seem to be an overdose of physics going on, your vehicles simply pass through trees and fences etc.

Loved OFP and looking forward to getting into this.

DON'T BUY THE GERMAN VERSION!!! someone should stick this at the top of the thread.
The security software run on the german version is old and killing the game performance.

Also...I know you really want to play it, but you're goign to have to keep patchign it to english each time they release a patch, hotpatch, or sneeze. And do it all in german!

Wait till jan/feb...it'll be better. And then come and play in the tourney. See a few posts up.
 
1. I personally feel a lot of people are actually playing the downloaded versions

2. The czech version has starforce

I'd rather wait for the english version personally :p
 
Are the CZ/DE versions going to be compatible with the US versions?
I don't really want to buy the game *again* but only if I HAVE TO to play MP :p


But man, this game ran like crap last night, there's no way you're going to get huge battles working tbh :/

I keep having to turn options down but I was trying the night mission and eventually I was getting 5-7fps, on my rig in my signature.

Tho the campaign mission ran like a dream.
Guess they need to work out kinks/bugs.


And i'll just have to lower more settings.
:(

You know, it could have been a memory leak or something, even when I quit the game to main menu my whole system was crapping out.

So much so my mouse cursor started having problems! >_<
It hurts, spending this much on a PC and getting a game that runs poorly even when you start knocking stuff from very high, to high, to normal..and even then some (shadows) on low.

And when you think it's running fine having a base full of enemy ai units and tanks brings thing to a halt.

Bleh!

The game is fine, the security software, starforce is killing performance. Wait for uk /us versions.

Ive asked one of the guys at arma who had this fully installed and running fine on high res to post the order he patched it in and this system specs so you lot can see it.

No its not its just the game poorly optimised and plus the guy can squeeze more juice out of that card i have 7800gtx and i can put settings up and runs fine.

I run it at 1280 by 1024 and my settings are

View Distance = 1097
Terrain Detail = High
Object Detail = High
Texture Detail = High
Shade Detail = Very High
Post Process Effects = Low
AF = Very High
Shadow Detail = Disabled
AA = Low

It runs fine 20-30fps the game just poorly optimised though and CPU intensive. :)

The latest version, v0.8 patch has apparently fixed the securom thing.

Download it patch it with the official patch to 1.01 version then apply the newer language patch

The guy I know running it on high with no probs has run the above fix onthe following system:
1gig ram
AMD 3500+
X850 Graphic Card


And I don't doubt its poorly optimised. When peopel rush mod maps they always mess up.

"Im getting 30 to 44fps roughly. I have everything set evenly on "High", except Post Processing (low) and AA (normal). Im running it at 1280 X 960. It looks pretty good. But true, this game DOES NOT truly recognize SLi setups at this time. Boo! I hope this changes.

My setup:

Dual 7900GT's 256mb
AMD X2 4800+
2GB mem"

Also,

someone else pointed out that their FPS got worse as they turned down grpahics settings!

These people are all downloading a game that been liscensed to germany and patching it to the english language

The game is available to buy on dvd from UK and American sources around feb.
 
I found the same when i first ran it i had it on 1600 x 1200 and was getting crappy frames. Assuming becuase the game is cpu intensived and at lower res cpu becomes more of a factor.

havent had time to enjoy the game yet been far too busy. tried it for 15 mins in total most of that was spent changing the configs.
