How will it run on your system ?

[Smiley_ie]

Hi all
A mate of mine ordered the Chech verision of the game and gave me a lend of it because it ran so bad on his system.
He has a Amd 3200, 1 gig, Ati 850XTPE he had to run it on low 800x600 and it looks bloody crap. The sad thing is i was looking forward to this and it runs as bad on my system no matter what settings i run. The problem is it always loading textures so when you turn around you'll get pause's and in battle's this just gets worse. Allso theres a huge mouse delay in FPV and land & air vehicle's. If your a fan of OFP id say your better of waiting till the english release and hopefully they'll have it fixed ? I have the english verision ordered and canceled it because i want to see what there going to do with it.
Very dissapointed in Armed Assault id love to no what there where doing for the last four years because all they have managed is a beta ver.
My specs 4600x2,2gig.X1950XTX

Wow! That's the first review I've read that isn't glowing!

Thank for your feedback mate. It was all sounding a bit too good for my liking anyway! I fell into that trap with BF2!

I'd jokingly say you need to spec up your PC, but only if you send me your existing parts!! It'll be in the tweaking no doubt. I've seen vids of gameplay, and it's pretty bloody good... and these aren't from the developers! It must be something somewhere, and although I'm not saying they are without fault (why no publishers?) it'd most likely be a conflict on your end with this. Many are having great success.

Best of luck sorting it out Smiley. These sorts of issues with new games just reminds me of my early PC days... edit autoexec.exe... edit config.sys... What do you mean not enough Extended Memory??

lol ahhh, the good old days!

On those specs?? You should be playing better then me, Im at 1024x768 all details on normal/high except postprocessing, Im getting 25-60 fps now, looks great. I can understand your m8 having trouble on his specs, needs 2 gig ram easily.

With the pausing/stuttering, do you have enough virtual memory set, and is it set right? With 2 gig physical ram I would go 1024 min 1024 max, mine is at this now and game is smooth as (even increase it, I had no probs with 2048 min/max) Another is use the '-nosplash -maxmem=' in your shortcut, I have my maxmem set to 1024. Also turn of vsynch in your vid card control panel, and triple buffering on.

One persons tweaking experience

Game in present state looks and plays better then OFP does on my pc so Im hooked, rough diamond m8.

Smiley mate, hope that tweaking thread helps you out... cleaning and defragging your PC might also boost performance.

I run a P4 2.9Mhz with 1Gb RAM and Radeon 9600, with 1024x768 native.
Apart from doubling the RAM my box can't be upgraded, so it should be fun...

Ta for the reply's
I did try the maxmem on 1024 mad no differance. The only way playable for me is textures very high, Shadows low, everything else off at 1200 x 76? anything turned on after that = huge fps drop & mouse lag. Looking at the web there's tones of people haveing these problems they really should have spent alot more time tweaking this game. As for my system i always keep it up to date. HL2 / BF2 / Dark messiah all fly on my system 1024 x 768 all maxed
I hope they bloody fix it.

Spectre8 The videos you seen most of them are in open space's where theres feck all to load : I done a mission where your base is under attack which starts fine, then you get a truck and drive off to pick up bravo team. Problem is you drive through a woods and it turns into a slide show ?

Stompya Will try the virtual memory, I had a look and theres no option to turn off vsynch in the ati options ? 6.11 drivers. The maxmen command i think it ran worse useing that, will try a few different settings.

Cheers

I've tried few tweaks given on boards but none of them made significant change.
I'm really disappointed by the performance.

[Smiley_ie]

Tryed virtual memory / maxmem with different settings 1024 / 1200 / 1500. Defrag and its installed on a sata drive thats sh*t fast. Changed different graphic settings, Shut down all apps running in the backround and there is no differance whats so ever !
Allso read that SLi and Crossfire runs the game slower. Game dosen't support duel core. Lots of people getting 20 - 60 fps fook that give me a solid 30 fps with out pause's and id be happy.
Man im so pissed at this game ive played it and tried to get into it but the performance is just so bad. And i havent even played online yet ! people are saying theres a 10 fps drop when online......... Great success.

800x600, all options at minimum

[Smiley_ie]

Paclya, 18 fps and theres feck all going on in that screen shot, Explosions,battles or Citys.
Whats your specs ? How are you getting fps up is it fraps ?

[Paclya]

I just started the single mission with the chopper and the shot has been taken few second after the take off (nothing around, except the trees).

My system is:
- Athlon 64 3200
- 2 GB RAM
- GeForce 7900
- HD Raptor 70GB (although I doubt this has any influence on the performance apart from the loading time)

I can run GRAW and FEAR with max options so ... I wasn't expecting that a crappy framerate

Edit:
I've just patched the game: it works much better!
Identical scene with 1024x768, medium options everywhere and a view distance of 3500 meters
