I reinstalled Arma 2(Vanilla/original) and ran through a combat patrol. Was working fine last night, of course it doesn't now. I've installed the latest beta, messed around with graphics settings, tried tweaking settings, running optimisation programs and it's still buggy as hell. It doesn't seem to lag in game, rather it constantly 'receives', generally about 5 times in the middle of the battle, then decides to CTD.

Does OA make the game less resource intensive? Does the optimisation make the required specs lower than vanilla Arma2?

[head]

I find OA alot more speedy

On another note try a few settings for hte shortcut such as cpucount=2(i think) and maxmem=2047(the max)

[PTTG??]

OA definitely seems more stable.

I'm opening some ports now, and I'll host a Benny's War for a while. I'm thinking Utes, since it's likely to be few players.

The server name is The Bay of 12s.
Password is "toady".

Hold on... I'll be back later. It does appear to be working, though.

[Nilocy]

I'll join you guys later if its still up.

[Nistenf]

It's not on the servers list

[Itnetlolor]

Provided I can find the time to, I might jump in sooner or later. However, don't expect me to be driving anything yet (outside maybe a Battlebus). Haven't completed those tutorials yet (although the controls seem intuitive enough).

[PTTG??]

OK, I'm hosting again.
Look for Bay of 12s and let me know if it's not up.

I'll be downloading the patch soon, I just have to wait a few hours till off peak time. Will you be hosting tomorrow?
Also, if anyone wants me to make a mission, now is the time to suggest it!
It's always nice to play missions that have relevance to the players.

Dang, really wanted to get in on this, but it looks like it's going to be a long work day Hopefully there will be more Arma going down on a future date as well.

Yeah, I guess we'll move this to tomorrow... nobody's been on all day.

What I'm really looking for is a sandbox- something were each side has a base all built up and with respawning vehicles and weapon crates and squads. Ideally, there'd be a high command that generates missions- go to this town, take out this patrol, attack that base- and that would be designed to send players on opposing missions often.

Server down for now.

Sounds like Domi to me!

My speciality in one. In fact, I've written a lot of useful scripts for such missions. Vehicle respawns, AI respawns... Even as far as collectable squad members.
Also written a purchasing system too.
If you're still about in a few hours, I'll setup my server and stick an empty mission on it with a few scripts so we can go and see how we want to design this from the ground.

I'm going to be playing on the RockPaperShotgun server, details here: http://rockpapershotgun.com/rpsforum/topic.php?id=3247

That sounds great. You probably also have a better internet connection- mine is basically tin cans and string.

Actually, I think I can handle like 4-6 players tops. (Will probably start lagging out when the 6th person joins.)

...I'll just go get to work on the development mission now.
