*******Official Armed Assault 2 thread of official officialness*******

Hi there, can anyone shed some light as to why I have such poor performance in ARMA 2?

My system specs are as follows:
XP Pro
Q6600 (no overclock)
4GB RAM
4870 512mb

I have the latest 9.6 ATI drivers yet am crashing (whole system locks up) nearly every 10-15 minutes in both SP and MP. I've tried various levels of ingame detail and am in the process of doing a defrag. The problem occurs more regularly when I bring up the map.

My game is patched to the latest 1.0.2 version.

Thanks.
 
I've been banned from the server :D Team mates all had green diamonds round them. I then found what I believed to be enemy at a distance, they didn't have diamonds round them. So I let them have it :D
 
I've got the 8800GT and it runs idle at 69C, im buying an Artic Freezer this week as the temps in the house are high anyway!

Ack i haven't got much gaming time left need that bloody pass for the server!

RivaTuner is pretty good for controlling GPU fan speeds. I use it for my 8800GTS which seems to prefer to cook itself rather than spin the fan up!
 
Mikey what is the bloody password man!!! ;D

Im running vista64 Voice and it couldn't find a driver for that Riva when i installed it :(

EDIT** running Nvidias control panel for the fan speed and put it up to 100%, it's now on 63%.

Anyone using a Saitek Cyborg Evo?

I'm a little confused as to how the controls are mapped by default. I have mapped the thrust lever to the thrust control, which is fine. However, when i decrease the lever, it helicopter doesnt fall out of the sky, it hovers (not auto-hover to confuse things more!) Instead, i have to use Z and Q to increase or decrease altitude.

It's probabily down to the game design, but its really quite annoying having to use a joystick and keyboard to fly the heli's, or at least land them. I suppose i was expecting the more simpler approach of increase thrust to increase power and altitude, and decrease thrust to decrease speed and altitude.
