Id you don't have very much graphical memory, maybe. I don't even know why that's a setting in the first place.

Also, your operating system, and how good your hard drive is also affects it. I heard that SSD's make the game run a lot smoother.

[NewsMuffin]

I have an ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics card, and 4 gigs of ram. Also, I have a dual core processor or what ever the syntax is.
I'm running Windows 7, and my hard drive has 600 or so total gigs, but I'm using all but 30 or so of them.
I've heard hard drive space affects the speed of your computer, but I don't think that's true.
I don't know if I have a SSD or not.

An ATI radeon 3200 is on the very low end of 3 generations of GPU ago. We're on the ati 6000 series now.

It is below the game's minimum requirements. There's not much you can do there.

minimum
Nvidia Geforce 7800, ATI Radeon 1800 or faster (with Shader Model 3 and 256 MB VRAM)    (1800 refers to that generation, fastest card) as ati naming convention has followed generation:1000,2000,3000,4000,5000,6000 and then power: 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 - and further power with 50/70/90

recommended
Nvidia Geforce 8800GT, ATI Radeon 4850 or faster (with Shader Model 3 and 512 MB VRAM)

Love this game, but my computer can't run it very well. I really need to get a new PC :/

[NewsMuffin]

Well damn.
Getting a new graphics card for Christmas, I guess.

I'm running a dedicated server right now as a soft test for you guys.  If you're interested in playing, give it a quick check to see if you can log in to make sure I don't have any weird files or version mismatches.  Here's the server info:

Running vanilla Arma 2, no mods (should be good for anyone who wants to try Arma4Free, too)
Name:  "kg333's Test Server"
Password:  "dwarf"

I'll be around on there playing for a bit after I get dinner.  If all goes well, I'll plan on hosting a game for tomorrow night around 6PM EST.

Same.
I really want to play ArmA II with some Bay12ers.

Operation Arrowhead does indeed run better, so if that's a priority for you, Rilder, then I suggest you pick up OA too.

Huh? Why are you saying this to me? I don't have any worries about performance so far really, the only worry is that my connection will be too slow to play it online.  Like I said, I'm not getting OA because I can't just throw down 40 dollars for a game right now.

1.5gig left so probably tomorrow sometime.

Restarted it, it should be showing now.

Still nothing for me

I meant it as 'If performance is a priority, I suggest that Operation Arrowhead would be a good purchase,' because I didn't know if you cared about it or not. I'm sorry if I offended you. I also keep forgetting that ArmA II is free.

Still nothing for me

Same here. I'm not getting anything either.

[kg333]

Any chance one of you could add me on Steam to try a couple tests (kg333 in the DFC group)?  The server is running, but it appears there may be some forwarding issues.  I had to tweak my setup to get it back to Arma 2 vanilla.

KG

EDIT:  I still had it talking to the OA master server.  Derp.  Should be good now.

EDIT Part Deux:  My setup still has some stability issues, so I'll be tweaking it over the course of the evening.  If I can find a sufficiently stable point, I can host on that, otherwise I'll just host-as-client tomorrow.

[NewsMuffin]

I did manage to connect, but as kg said, stability issues.

Well, I'm getting a newer, much nicer laptop in less than a year from now. If I get Arma II, will I be able to just run around and do whatever I want (even if it costs my team the mission?)
