Top right of the forum, there is a "View New Content" link - click it for new content. They are releasing a 3.0.1 update shortly which adds back in the ability to either the new "View New Content" or the old style - View New Topics. Which buttons are you on about?? I;ve replied to a few threads now and not had any issues.

lol wizzy.

It was always there.... oh and the other 2 posts - your viewing the forum in the lo-fi format. Check the bottom left drop down box and set the skin/theme to IP.Board!! (Noob)

Pics or it didnt happen!! I havent seen any issues when not logged in yet.

Dont worry, this is just the 1st part of the conversion - there will be a new main site up soon and it will all be different again!!

Hey all, you might have noticed already, but the forums are now updated/converted to IP.Board 3.0 - everything seems have converted across ok, but please let me know if you find any problems, thanks. I'll be tweaking everything over the next week or so and adding some mods etc.

Happy Birthday Senor Gaymer!!

Hi Surfer and welcome to the forum. My apologies for not yet replying to your email yet, have been very busy at home & work. I've sent you a private message here on the forum with our Teamspeak details & password. Are you the same surfer from the Ghost Recon.net forums??

You mean GR4 I take it..... Its been mentioned a while back that UBI are working on GR4 in their last couple of financial releases - although nothing has been said yet who's doing the honours (Red Storm I believe are back doing it)!

lol mick - you do realise that original post was from October 2008??

Says it all really!! The guy who wrote it is obviously an OPF2 fanboi and a retard - probably 12 years old and expecting it to be like cod4 on his xbox, hehe.

it does install - as I checked the arma2.exe which was in the arma2 folder afterwards and it was the newer version. Also when you start the game - check the bottom right and see what version it says!!

ARMA II Demo [Jun 25, 2009, 10:44 am ET] Though it's not yet reflected on the ARMA II Website, the promised playable demo for the military shooter sequel from Bohemia Interactive Studios is now available. This forum post the latest DirectX 9 Redistributable for those encountering a "Demo failed to launch, X3DAudio1_6.dll was not found" error. Here's word on the demo: (thanks I Love Slippery Jim) lists download locations for the demo, and offers a tip to install The fictional post-Soviet state of Chernarus provides the location for all the action in ArmA II and gamers will have the opportunity to explore its highland area in the demo version, along with the small Chernarussian island of Utes. More specifically, the ‘boot camp’ missions are all available which act as tutorials for the game’s many disciplines including helicopter flight, unit command and base construction. In addition, the full single player mission ‘Trial By Fire’ from the main campaign and the multiplayer map ‘Mini Warfare’, allowing ArmA fans the chance to trial three multiplayer modes, are included in the demo. A selection of over 20 vehicles, over 25 weapons and various soldier and civilian models will be included, although these represent only a fraction of those available in the retail version. “Distilling ArmA II’s gameplay into a trial sized package has been a bit of a challenge because there is just so much in there that we want to show off,” commented Mark Allen, European Communications Manager for 505 Games. “In the end we’ve decided to be pretty generous, there are five types of rocket launcher in there for starters!”

looks good!!

Make sure you have the latest nvidia/ati drivers and take a look at the BIS forums - there are a couple threads about using a tool called nhancer to turn off vsync in vista (you got vista??) etc. I have it looking and running nice on my desktop PC - 1680 X 1050 with settings to High - 8800GT, but am struggling to find a good balance on the laptop as its native res is 1920X1080 (fullHD!) and it only has a 9700M GT in it - oh and running vista x32 ultimate, which I think is gay!!

Found a link over on the BIS forums to a guy who has made tons of movies for Arma & ArmaII. The one linked below is awesome - 1000 AI having a big fight!!

Happy Birthday dude!! Hope the heads not too sore after your night "on the beer" yesterday....

cheers will give em a look.

it did - although I havent had a chance to play with it yet - will hopefully get on later this afternoon/early evening.
