ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead / Combined Operations / Reinforcements update 1.62

[Tonci87]

I see BIS removed the whole "objects appearing at 50% of viewdistance" bullshit.

I love it, please keep it like this. It effectively fixed armored and air warfare.
Even better, make them spawn a bit behind the fog, so they don't pop into view, but smoothly blend out, if possible.

Someone test this please. I think they did this for fixed wing only

It's something in the Nvidia driver settings. Possibly Negative LOD bias (try setting to Clamp) or Trilinear optimization (try setting to off). If this doesn't work, try fiddling with others.

For me it shows up when I do a clean driver install (i.e. all settings revert to default). After fiddling, the problem goes away. I just haven't had enough patience to figure out which one causes it.

KaBoNG!

I had those settings on the previous driver when I was getting it and 301.42 doesn't have the problem at all. The problem now is Nvidia STILL hasn't fixed the BSOD on Youtube videos with the 560's using some of the last few drivers.

jb: we are WAY off topic for this thread, but one last thing i will say about the youtube issue is ensure you have the lastest version of flash player installed. I am running a 560 ti with the 301.42 drivers and have no BSODs on youtube.

I don't think that the problem is the Nvidia drivers, but a bug of some mod or of the patch 1.62, because some user noticed graphic artifacts also in ArmAII vanilla.

At the moment I can say that the suggested workaround of setting the video memory at Default value into the video options of ArmAII worked fine for me. Yesterday night I played DayZ for one hour or so scavenging Chernogorsk without any graphic problem...but a phone call killed me! Lucky who'll find my alter ego corpse stuffed with lots of luscious items!

I hope to help someone with this info...the one of the video settings, not the one of my premature e-death!

Right click on flash player (any video), go to settings and uncheck "hardware acceleration" somewhere in there. Fixed it for me (285 gtx). Seems like flash player + graphics card acceleration don't couple well (at least on some cards).

no changes I tested a-10 and t72 tank not visible for 2224m with 4400vd.I think they do worst - now object appear only if you do zoom in.To be honest I'm not understand such feature at all.If you or someone else friendly not see target you can not hit it unless it is radar and you got anti radar rockets or similar situation.

I've seen no difference in regards to this issue. It does take away from the game for sure.

Cheers

when is the 1.62 server update coming out. Alot of us have updated but cannot play multiplayer now.

Why do people keep registering accounts just to ask about linux? They will announce when it's available.

And in the mean time, there's a script here to install a headless version of WINE on a Debian, Ubuntu or CentOS dedicated server to run the Windows application.
