Radiosound + Mouse Lag Problem

[argh9R]

Hello,

I bought the game 1 day after release, I played it serveral times and I was so dissapointed that I stop to play the game.
But now, after patch 1.01 final, I reinstalled it and gave it another try.
What seriously pi**es me off are the microsoft sam like radio commands. Horrible. BIS you cannot be serious about that. Do you play the game and like that? Did the betatesters say: YES thats GREAT!

Question: Can I deaktivate these sounds or replace it?
@BIS: Can you update these sounds?

Second problem which is way worse:

I play CS, CoD4/5 and other FPS which have very accurate mouse settings. The aiming is direct and accurate. I need this accurate aiming to aim the best way, pwn, and thus have fun with a game.
I've invested much time to set up my pc the optimal way. My hardware is a mx518 with 1000hz and 450 dpi setting. Mouseaccl is deaktivated, Windows sens is standard.

ARMA II feels like mouseaccleration + a serious mouse lag. Its nearly impossible to aim proper. In the menu the mouse seems to be okay. (Attention: I know that ARMAII is a realistic war-simulation. I know that BIS wanted to simulate the weight of the weapons. I know that there's a floating mode. Nevertheless I cannot imagine that this mouselag is a part of a good simulation. Thus I think its a problem of the game.) I Installed the game at serveral PCs of friends. = Same Problem. Forums said ARMA I had the same problem. Do you experience the same or do you simply don't have a problem and accept this as normal?

In an other forum I've read that it helps to set the DPI of the mouse to the maximum. I've tried it, but it wont work.
Others said the problem is the low fps-rate. I don't think so. I have very good fps and i also tried to set the graphicssettings to lowest and resolution 1024. My FPS were high and i had the same mouselag.

My System:

vista64bit
PhenomI 9950 BE oc 3ghz
ATI 4890 oc
4gb drr 800
GA-MA78GM mobo
vista 64 bit
vsync always off
mouseaccleration deactivated (regestryentry)

I hope some of you have a soulution for me. Can i "script" or "mod" a better mouse?

I payed 50bucks, i loved OPFI and i would love to play the game. But without a direct mouse aiming its not possible for me.

Thank you!

Hello there,

I'll try to help out as much as I can because I don't want to see players leave this great game because of something that could be changed very easily.

It sounds to me as though you are experiencing low FPS.
I would suggest download a program such as fraps to measure your FPS while in-game.
This game is quite demanding on your system, so please don't be surprised to hear that it could be your hardware.

The only other explanation may be the settings in-game. It is possible in ArmA2 to move your head and have your weapon follow shortly after. Please check your in-game options and have a play around with the sliding bar. Sorry I cannot remember the name of the option as I am awaly from my gaming PC (at work, bah).


As for the voices:
It would not be possible to record every combination of co-ordinates or locations and have the voices pre-defined. Arma2 has a vast terrain and does not follow a small, set path such as the other games you mentioned.

Hello!
Thank you for your fast reply. I don't want to be unfriendly, but obviously you didn't read my text or copied and pasted your answer into this thread.

It is not the floating-bar.
It has nothing to do with my fps, i HAVE fraps installed and i wrote:

Please read my text and then answer

I was going to suggest you turn off VSync, but I see you've already done that. From my experience that's mostly the cause for such problems. For me the mouse movement in Arma2 is fast and smooth without VSync.

If I may ask, what framerates do you get under different circumstances, like:

1. Way out over the ocean.
2. In the airport on Utes.
3. In a small village in north-western Chernarus.
4. In the middle of Chernogorsk.

EDIT: yeah, the radio voices suck.

There's no X in the centre of your screen where bullets go because. Your arms move, your head moves, the gun moves. You cannot therefore run around like an aimbot in railgun mode. Accuracy comes from stillness. You even have to press the "hold breath" button to score a hit.

PS the radio could sound like daffy duck for all I care

Sorry Mr Fenix you obviously accidenly posted this in this thread. No problem

It's meant to be here but I just didn't proof-read it. The guy seems to expect to spin around and zap anything in the centre-screen cross-hairs.

@MadDogX: Thank you for your reply! I will try that. When you say you have absolutly no problem I will try to format, and will try it with force vsync off another time. perhaps he didn't switch off vsync proper...

It seems BIS don't listen to community. Apparently the excessive mouse smoothing is still enabled in ARMA 2.

There's nothing you can do, except try to keep your FPS 100+ to get a control over your weapon. BIS isn't gonna fix it since they don't undestand how bad effect it has on the game.

In other games you can turn the smoothing off and have responsive smooth aiming at 30fps, but in ARMA 2 because of this bullshit mouse smoothing you need to have 100fps+.

I didn't read your post?! I don't quite understand why you say that. I posted exactly what you said your problem was.... Anyway.

What makes you think there is a problem, and its not just the way the game is built? As Mr Fenix said, this is not your average first person shooter. The gun is not stuck to your chest with a motionless structure. If you run, your gun will not be pointing forwards.

If the problem is that your gun is taking too long when stationary to move into the centre of your screen, its because you have the float settings on.
If the gun moved with your mouse and stays in the centre of your screen in relation to your head and it simply feels slow, its your FPS being low.

What exactly is your FPS while standing still? You would not want it any lower than 50 standing still anywhere.
