Editing PMC Tank Hunter
Posted: 2011-07-30 03:53:28
Hey Snake Man,
Tank Hunter is by far my favorite campaign of all time in OFP.
Recently I've upgraded to a Core I5 750, from a Sempron 2800 with a 6200 geforce. I've still got to
buy a better Graphic card for it before I go into Arma2 (and Arma1 for that matter.)
But even with the weak GF8400, something happens that didn't happen with the weaker hardware: after
the 3rd mission starts (the mission after the one where you contact the US official) some 2 or 3
minutes into it, starts to progressively lag, until 1fps. I wait for 20 minutes hidden inside a
house with battles around me, the Lag doesn't go.
It simply didn't happen with the weaker machine. With the old pc there were sometimes of lag, I
guess to calculate and spawn/respawn the dynamic battles, but it usually got better in a couple of
minutes. Now it runs like a dream, of course, I can play with 5000 vd and normal terrain, until the
crazy lag. Maybe there's a detection script for the CPU benchmark and it goes crazy with it? The old
machine was something like 4000 points the new is 12000.
I kept retrying the mission and the best that happened was a crazy attack from the soviets: They
kept spawning from the south, like some big anfibian landing, and symply steamrolled the US!
I know that you stopped with OFP missions. I'm asking for permission to post in the BIS forums
editing section if you don't want to take a look at it. Maybe someone could help me there.
I'd also like to know about more missions/campaigns like this if you have or play them. For Arma 1
and 2 as well, I'm almost there with the hardware. And permission to port this campaign to other OFP
islands and catch some bugs if someone helps me.
Best regards.
