AA 2.5

[cottonmouth]

I have found some nice tweaks that took me from 8-15 fps to 20-50 FPS!!! Contact me on GR or something.

Can you post them here Dark?? I have been trying everything to get 2.5 playable but nothing works. Honestly, I have more fun playing the DopeWars widget than 2.5.

OK Guys...bear with me.
I want you guys that are struggling with frames to try this.
Yes, it sounds nutty, and im not sure how it can help, but as claimed in this thread, http://forum.americasarmy.com/viewtopic.php?t=193288   SUPPOSEDLY there is some code that is tking over the cpu for AUTOMATIC LOGIN.

Please please try this, and report back.

Edit: inexperienced player-proof instructions:
1. open AA
2. go to personnel jacket
3. ensure that username and password are entered
4. ensure that "save login/profile info" is checked (I think that's what it's called) TOP BUTTON
5. ensure that "auto login" is UNCHECKED (again, paraphrasing actual button name)  BOTTOM BUTTON
6. quit AA
7. open AA
8. go to deployment
9. join a server
10. check your fps, verify that it is indeed higher

Now, if at first, it doest seem to work, visit that link i posted, and check how to do it thru the ini.
Sounds somewhat promising, although i dont understand the mecahnics.

Hope to see you there?? i hope?? mb?

lol brilliant, a pity thought i thought the  bugged version felt far more realistic and inkeeping with the game than the black out... then again i've not had direct experience of being flashed ... just v bright flashes, fireworks, home made bombs etc

I have.  The reason it is black is because when you are flashed you involuntarily close your eyes and pretty much can't even make yourself reopen them for a bit because it hurts so bad.  Plus the "bang" part of the flashbang grenade puts you pretty much in a state of shock.  When I was a Ranger we had to go through a course where they actually used a "toned-down" version of a flashbang on us so that we could see what the effects of it really are on the human body.  All-in-all, not a fun experience.  I liked the gas chamber better than that shit.

Cotton mouth, they are posted here. please scroll back to my thread

I had tried those tweaks already, I thought Dark had some other solutions.

Judging by the thread on AA, about the AUTOMATIC LOGIN, it seems people are having success. Thanks Sheix, cant wait to get home to give it a go. There is still hope.

Cotton, I found a few other things... like turning off

HighDetailActors and

AdvancedHighDetailActors

change your VARSize to 96,

make your "CacheSizeMegs" = the size of the memory on your video card...


 many others but I dont remember them off the top of my head.[/size]

Hey Peeps.

got some noob questions for you veterans. i finished training yesterday(hate that parachute!) and i was all fired up to do some single player training. really never liked jumping online and taking the chance of tk's...well i did go online and i did ok for the first time. 3 kills in a couple of games and one tk(shit) but i want to play some single player missions.

how do i play singleplayer missions or get battlefield training without others? i have looked at my trainings and every time i end up online. am i just ond AND blind?

Hosting - how does hosting work with AA? can i at some point host? i was thinking it was points and when i have enough, hosting is an option.

so far i like what i see. it feels like a combination of ghr and battlefield. i like that its hard because it usually makes it more fun when i figure it out.

fun stuff and i know that i'll get in trouble with my girfriend......

advice is greatly apreciatet

[BFG]

load up AA - then type "Start *mapnam*e"   that loads the map in SP for you.

THen you need to give yourself a class ie Rifleman, SF, Sniper etc. sooo....
Type "Class *code* "  and replace code with one of the following

R - Rifleman (M16A2)
SF - Special Forces
G - Grenadier (M203)
S - Sniper (M82)
B - Shotgun (M870)
D - Door Breacher
S24 - Sniper (M24)
AR - Automatic Rifleman (M249)
M - Rifleman (M4A1)
M4M - Rifleman (Modified M4A1)
BDM - Bunker Defeat Munitions (M141)
AT4 - AT4 Rocket Launcher (M136)
RPK - Opfor Automatic Rifleman (RPK)
SVD - Opfor Sniper (Dragunov)
RPG - Indigenous Forces Rocket Launcher (RPG-7)

thre are loads more than that howevre!

then to add some guys to shoot at you need to type "summonNPCSoldier"

The guy will stand like a scarecrow - great target practise, but if you wnat him to move/shoot back at you just type "Walk"

You can summon shit loads of enemy soldiers to shoot at - they normally just stand still and shoot at me (be carful they can be pretty damn accurate hehehe!) but they do walk sometimes!!

oh shit, i just typed all this out and you can find it here: http://www.tweakguides.com/AASF_5.html

U can set up a linux unofficial host.. u have to pay a company for a AA Honor server dunno the details!

[z][t-Rampage]

Thanx BFG

then i'll go get familiar with some maps. work? whats that? who needs to work?? pffs

[cottonmouth]

So... did the  Autologin effect anybody elses FPS??? Mine went from 5-8 with autologin on to 20-35 with it off on SF_Extraction.   
Thanks for all the tips and tewaks fellars!!!!

[(SiX)Sheixhundt]

Although i was the FIRST to post a thorough ini tweak on the AA forum (breaks arm patting own back) I gotta say...
Im DAMN impressed that someone (Edidie) figured out that crap with the login screen.

Im ecstatic that it wasnt merely the placebo effect.
Hope to see you all soon. If you see my green light, you know where to find me.

Don't get too close to the recently released version of America's Army, if all goes well, there should be a new one coming along wih substantial enhancements in the next few months.

Kind of pointing out the obvious.

[BFG]

they said it not me    

- the start of dev with the UT3 engine seems one hell of a long way off though... although then agian i guess we're nearing the end of 2005 now.

[Civrock]

And the version with UE3 will probably be 3.0.


Btw, I just started playing and reached 40/40 in the very first basic training... and then I mastered adv marksmanship. Other than that... the training fuckin' sucks.

[*DAMN Mauti]

Actually I found the basic shoot training more difficult than the adv markmanship which I passed at the first try.

I still didn't have the patience to do the Medical and S.F training, beside that I had the 2 - 4 minutes PunkBuster check when I enter a server, makes me

Same here - got 38 for basic training - but there are allways 2 that just don't go down when they should! - found the advanced much much easier

parachuting was a bitch for me. nailed the school and took forever jumping out of the plane.

playing with mags yesterday really picked up my game for a while he he he. cool game

[z][t-Magnetic]

I’m very pleased to see more friendly faces in the games now 

Since I’m playing on the PC, and I want to have you guys on voice, does anyone know a voiceapp that works for both PC and Mac?

[Civrock]

NetFone. I could send you the PC version if you don't have it, it's compatible with the Mac version.
