How many vehicles are there? And where are they? I've spent the last hour just looking for vehicles. So far i've detected and successfuly destoyed: 2x BRDM 2x T72 1x T55 1x T34 1x BMP-2 All of these tasks are completed, but the last "neutralize all vehicles" still remains. Gaaaaaaah!

I have a mild form of tinnitus and I dislike the tinnitus sounds a lot.

I'd say that it's the gfx-card that does causes the error since it's a display driver error. Do you have the latest drivers for your card? Latest directx? The CPU might also cause problems, but whenever it's a single or dual core shouldn't make any difference, except for performance. Correct me if im wrong on this one :)

AFAIK if you're the commander you'll have to purcase the heli yourself and then "give" the heli to another squad.

Use the map when radioing in the commands. Both for pick up and drop off. The chopper will travel to the destination marked by your mouse. EDIT: Also, use sites where there is plenty of space for the heli to move around. You can always renew the pick up / drop off site by calling the radio commands again, even in flight.

I had serious issues with shuttering on my i7 920 system (win7 64, 9gb ram), but it was solved by either: Using startup parameters: -cpuCount=4 -exThreads=7 Or: disable hyperthreading in BIOS. I average around 25 - 30 on the OA benchmark using a GTX260

Same problem here, the games did not merge. At least I can still play the games seperatly.

I've come across a rather annoying bug. It has happed once on badlands and once on dogs of war so far. After a fast travel is completed, there is a risk that one of the team members AI completely breaks and starts to move a straight line in some direction. They do not obey orders, but only reply with "Negative" or "Cannot do that". This is especially annoying since it has happed to my team razor members, and when I cannot control their actions they are likely to run straight into enemy areas and get killed. Have anyone else experienced this bug? I’m running 1.05 with no mods.

If you're the team leader, you can issue an action order. Select your rpg-solider, press 6, then select the appropriate action.

Disabling hyper threading did not affect performance on my I7 rig. I've tried both with high graphical settings and low graphical settings, low and high draw distance, low resolution to high resolution and it does not affect my FPS at all in the benchmark tests. So my issue for low fps does not seems to be GPU bound. Processors are working but none of the cores are at 100% (one is 75%, rest is around 50%). Benchmark 02 gives 9 – 10 fps. My other issue is the shuttering of texture loading, and in particular, Arma2s desire to release textures. Often it’s enough to alt-tab between the game and desktop to trigger the game to release textures. Once one alt-tab back into the game most of all textures are gone and has to be reloaded again. Why does Arma2 not keep these textures in memory even though they are not used at the moment, as a texture cache? Last question; what is the difference between free and available memory in windows 7? Could arma2 request more memory from windows even though only “available memory†exists?

Create one waypoint for the squad and one for the heli. Right click on the waypoint for the squad and change type to "get in". Right click on the heli-waypoint and change type to load. Haven't tried myself, but seems reasonable :)

I've run into this problem several times. For me; it's resolved by pressing 'numpad enter', the key for third person view. I've only experienced this problem on expert difficulty, since it disables third person view.

AI behavior of APCs & armed motor vehicles needs to be addressed. Facing a car with machinegun or a static defense is a nightmare. They instantly know where you and your team are, and nearly always place 100% accurate shots. Compared to AI infantry; AI crewman in vehicles does not seem to have their vision obscured by trees, grass or a person being prone. It also appears that they can track a target even whilst it’s in cover by terrain.

Do you use the -winxp parameter while lunching ARMA 2? It’s supposed to fix errors concerning memory issues (including virtual memory) for system with > 4 gb memory. I had the same problem and after adding that parameter it solved the problem (so far).
