Ebden~SPARTA~ Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) Nice, thanks for the update. I was running the beta version for a week with subtle improvement. Edit to the edit: It's up and running, but I promised my wife that I wouldn't touch ARMA II until Friday (I was in hot water after being on so late yesterday). I'll try it soon. Edit: After a painful series of CTD-to-lockup last night, I have the installer on a flash drive at work ready to go when I get home. Question for those using the new driver... Do you keep the same tweaks as discussed on the BI forums for Nvidia drivers, specifically: Disabling Physx Force VSYNC off Alter Renderframesahead in ARMA2.cfg (never did that, but does it help, and what change to I enter?) Max pre-rendered frames to 8 from 2. Additional changes I expect to keep using are commandline parameters (not as shown here, just from my memory)maxmem2047, cpu 2, no splash, winxp. Also disp 12xx x 10xx I see a number of other changes here, but I don't know if I need to go that far. Given the relative stability of the game, I'm happy to maintain 30FPS as long as I don't crash so much.
