Army of the Czech Republic DLC

[colonel stagler]

It definately needs a patch before the steam version is released, you dont want it now trust me. Well maybe except for the maps.

The colonel is right. This DLC is shit, frankly.

There's a couple of nice looking vehicles, but their config is a appalling. The units we already had in OA but BI took them away and made us pay for them, again. They happily let us drool over the illusion of a fixed and updated Chernarus and instead gave us a handful of cut down towns from it. The game patronises players throughout the game with stupid onscreen texts - standing up makes you more exposed? No shit, Sherlock. It won't load itself up as an expansion - you have to force it as a mod.

Save your money and don't bother with it. I'm willing to bet that there will be no servers using it - mine certainly doesn't. Much as it pains me to say it; PMC is a polished product compared to this steaming pile.

I am using ARC lite at the moment and just played a map in multiplayer. Something is very, very wrong here. The whole performance of the game seemed to degrade compared to OA, FPS reduced, lag and terrible LOD problems with terrain, some objects, buildings and foliage. Has anyone noticed if this occurs with the DLC, does it improve over ACR lite or not?
Using patch 1.62.96016

The previous map was OA and was perfectly OK, as soon as ACR was started things were not as they should be. ACR content seems to cause problems with other terrains such as Zargabad and Takistan. Someone suggested I should re-install, will try that and will comment back here if it solves anything.

lmao, what's with the hostility toward the Help tips? I too had a bit of a smirk at the "noobiness" of it, but then saw one I didn't realise after playing the game for 8 years "The last 5 rounds of a magazine will be all tracer to let you know you are out of ammo"

Besides, even if I where to mock them to myself..I wouldn't come on here to bitch about it. They are COMPLETELY unintrusive and may actually help some one who is new, so who cares...sheesh.

I own the full DLC and Performance seems worse in general for me too. And there are LOD issues. I am also experiencing similar problems when playing online with Takistan though..

If I had to pick some thing specific about the DLC that seems much worse than Chern1.0 or Takistan it would be that bushes and foliage, when zooming and scoping, seems to give me more FPS loss on the ACR maps. But LOD probs and stutter are everywhere for me since 1.62 full

If I wanted to be patronised, I'd go to work. I come here for grown up fun.

You're right, in many ways, of course. Given the influx of new players thanks to DayZ, making the subsequent DLC extra helpful is a good call, but FFS, let us turn it off if we want to.

Regarding the steam release. Just got an update on ArmA II OA on steam and it downloaded the 33933_install.vdf install script for installation of the ACR DLC, so maybe the release is not so far away.

I definently agree with you on that one Tank!!!

I'm not too happy with the quality of this DLC, too. I've been really expecting to see a nice new smaller woodland map, but got the clipped stuff from Chernarus, retextured... with couple of new trees.
But then again, I've paid more for a lunch (chicken with rice) yesterday at Chinese Restaurant

[CaptainChunk]

I am getting slow performance as well as a result of the ACR download. Hopefully this will be fixed in a patch.

The thing thats pissed me off the most is that whatever that patch or DLC did, the glass on my spetsnaz fsb is now broken
