It'd be ok if we could enable FSAA while having it on 100%, yes

What would be nice is being able to run the game with a 4850 - its a ****ing travesty.
Complete and utter graphical corruption.
Did these ****tards that programmed the game actually ****ing test it?

Sorry but i am extremely upset that this is happening - it semms ive got to wait now until the 10th of this month to get the fix fron ati - un****ingexcusable.

If the fix is coming from ATi wouldn't that suggest that it's a problem with thier drivers, not the game itself?

Anyway, that combat video looks so awesome. It seems like explosions/smoke are much improved over the original ArmA . What would be very cool is weather effects like rain/storms.

I've had to try and tide myself over by playing some Advanced Warfare in ArmA 1, so much fun!

[Dungeoncrawler]

I think this guy has extended his line a little to far!

Does ArmA 2 come with the warfare multiplayer game mode that was introduced in ArmA 1 with patches? I've kind of fallen in love with it even though I'm only playing with/against AI.

I'll say this for the game, it does look good.

[triath]

The final 1.01 patch was released, I would have to say the game is now up to post-patch Arma in my opinion.

Another nice patch like this and it will be great!

Can you confirm the single player campaign is working well?

a flash game they've come up with. they have a contest running with it... the two people who score the the highest in this flash game every week will be given a free copy of arma 2. contest will continue for 5 weeks. pretty neat idea

I actually have not touched the campaign yet, so I if it's still buggy I take back what I stated and just imagine I said is getting close to being good with a few more patches.

I will do some campaign in a few hours.

Cool, do let me know how it is. I may get this for father's day if it's relatively bug free.

one of lead developers said on forums support for some different FSAA/AA modes may be added later via patch ...

Well I hope so, because I caved in and ordered the game
I get these OFP vibes from all the videos and images...

Unfortunately it does'nt sir.
Actually pissed off enough to go out and get an nvidia card.
I find it deplorable no testing was done on the ATI 4850 card range - they've been around for months now.

Perhaps if bohemia interactice did'nt use such a ****ed up scaling method and instead used hardware properly driven proven to work AA methods it would have been better.

lets upscale the game and then downscale it again I mean after alls said and done why the flying **** did they CHOOSE to do this?

The game should have been released with a disclaimer that it would not work with 4850 cards.

well next ATI driver should fix something related to VRAM fragmentation which messing ArmA 2 on 'SOME' systems ...

[kkevin666]

Please fix with a hotfix set of drivers now?

[KwameR]

I also have a 4850, and it's been awesome in all regards{I have over 30 games}, but it looks like I'll be bargin binning this game and waiting for GRAW4.

Why don't these chumps advertise for volunteers to test various configurations if they're so cash strapped?

Yup you are right, it doesn't work alone. I tried but founf that I only get it sorted if my AGP Aperture is set to 512MB. Slows loading XP, slows exiting games and generally fuggs with my system just to run this game, saying that this is the only one I am playing atm, I do with they sorted the building popup lods, they appear to be just as crap as they were with ArmA 1. Nice new features but same old texture issues.

One of the many joys of owning an AGP card.

I just did this in the editor with 40 planes, looks real nice as they stream across the sky, frames stayed pretty high too. I added some helicopters either side but that effected frames a bit so took em out.

Pretty amazing some of the things you can do with little or no effect on frame rate. Now, I hope the new June drivers sort out the artefact / memory corruption as having a 512MB Aperture size is crap.

That actually looked rather kewl PN. Ive decided I'm going to purchase the game I just don't know yet if it will be on release day.

I'd urge caution. Wait for more patches.

Yeah that's what they all say... And then you wait, jump on the next cool game and forget about Arma 2, until you find it in a bargain bin years later and realised you missed the bandwagon
