Right, I guess I should've googled it. Yes the gun shops are still in business because they are selling ammo. But they cannot seem to get enough in to really spread it around.. I'm just wondering why they say "we had it but... It's all gone now". I've went 15 minutes after they've opened and didn't manage to get anything... I even went to walmart at 6 in the morning and waited for them to stock.

I've got plenty of ammo and every now and then i'll find a box of 50 or 25, I actually got a case of 500 rounds of .45 ACP for 245 dollars... i'll pay two or three times as much for it... If I can get it. I haven't had much luck with 9mm Luger, 9mm largo, .40 S&W, .223 or .357 sig ( they do have magnum alot of times, so it's a good buy ).

Walmart seems to have alot of shotgun shells, i've noticed.
Ammo shortage (USA thread sort of)

Has anyone noticed it? I can't seem to find any bulks or cases.

Any ideas what happened or when it might go back to normal?

I hate liars, people who are stuck up, people who use their muscles to intimidate you, cheaters, professional bums (con artists) whatever you prefer, theives, muggers, and difficult, teeth pulling people... oh and complainers.


All in general have to do with people.

Quote from BigPeBe :The pre rendered frames at 3 was a reason for a BIG mouse lag. Setting it to zero made the problem disappear (at least when the FPS is reasonable).

Plus setting quality to high should only lower the FPS because it adds more stress to the GPU.

I can still try though...

-EDIT- I can't even find so old drivers from NVidias site.
-EDITEDIT- Found them from Guru3D.

You've got a computer about 90% the speed of mine, it's to my wonderings why the hell isn't it running nearly the same settings as mine...

Quote from BigPeBe :Yea but when it drops to 15 it is unplayable pretty much. I have played with and without Fraps.

MSI K9VGM-V
AMD 64 X2 6000+ @ 3.2GHz
2Gb DDR2 800 Mushkin memory
PNY 9800GTX+
Xilence 420W Power

Windows XP Pro 32Bit.

I already downloaded newest NVidia drivers and DirectX, but haven't yet bothered to install because I doubt it will have an real effect and been playing other games. Current Nvidia driver is 182.08.

In NVidia control panel I have made own profile for ArmA 2. It lets the game decide the AA & AF settings. Vsync is forced off. Maximum pre-rendered frames is set to zero. Negative LOD bias is clamp. Texture filtering quality is at performance.

Currently the settings in-game are medium, with the exeption of AA as high and post processing effects at low or disabled, can't remember wich. Resolution is 1400x1050 (my screen's native resolution). I also tried to lower the resolution but didn't really have an effect.
At low settings it still isn't that good performance wise, but it also looks so horrid that I can't stand to look at it.

That's pretty much all info I can think about writing down currently.

Try the nvidia 180.84 32-bit XP, set your pre-rendered frames to 3. and set your texture filtering quality to high quality.

My setup -

8800GT 512mb (volt modded)
E6600 clocked to 3.3ghz
2 gigs of ram
Windows XP 32 bit


I run the game at 1152 x 864 all settings on high, 8x AF, 2x AA. Running anywhere between 25-45 FPS.

Quote from BigPeBe :Ah it seems that it doesn't matter, MP or SP the FPS does suck.
I just didn't think so because I didn't put much AI players in the editor.

If there is other player models visible the FPS just drops massively, can't understand why. It's not like the models are very high poly or anything.

This FPS drop also doesn't seem to have anything to do with the AI working, because if I turn my head so I can't see the AI players doing their stuff the FPS goes up again.

And it doesn't matter, low or high graphics settings it just does the same.

This game is crap.

I hope the OFP2 is going to be better.

You seem to care a great deal about the game, for someone that posts several times in the thread. Your posts makes up a large percentage of this thread.

To me... your problems seem like operater error to me. If you would gladly post your problems with what you have tried and haven't... I'd gladly help.
Post your system down to the last detail, such as driver, operating system and etc..

I noticed a somewhat difference between low and high settings on the graphics. I didn't notice that if you put "other player models" in the game there was a massive FPS drop.

Hope this helps.

Another pointer, turn FRAPS off... try playing the game by visuals see if it's unplayable.... just because it drops to 20 fps doesn't mean the game is rendered unplayable.

Downloading it from steam works well.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :If it ain't broke don't fix it..




Who cares about gallons or pounds? I care about what I have left, imagine this,

82 pounds of fuel left or 7 gallons.... Well that doesn't tell me if I have a fourth of a tank or half a tank now does it?

You might say "Do the math", I say why... LFS already does it.

Quote from masternick :you can race with the cars, tracks and physics we have now but let me guess you would love to have more of it?

adding more lock would take crap all time and effect drifting in LFS heaps

I was implying that I could drift just fine with them.

Uh... So you just assume he doesn't have any friends?

Yes, it's a part of our society... It's really a bad place to hang out. Most of them are like the picture S14 Drift posted above... Trying to show off on the internet.

Anyway why do you need a Facebook here? Just go ahead and post a link in your signature like I stated above... And if people care at all to see it, then they'll click the link.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :At a coffee shop... you talk face to face.... which is the point.. not post pictures like this :

Now I see why some people like to meet at coffee shops or alleys so badly. >.> I still laugh at this one pathetic line this girl had

"maybe we could watch a movie and have dinner and i'd be your dinner".

Quote from S14 DRIFT :I'm in my teens and I don't get the social networking sites like Myface or Spacebook, but I have a Myface, but I hardly ever use it, don't go around posting loads of comments, just have around 30 friends (like 5 of which I ACTUALLY know) and just mainly use it so I can link people to there instead of having to tell them about myself..

I take it you've actually seen the comments posted on there, waste of time if you ask me.

I like posting pictures and information of myself all over the internet... and even meeting strangers at a local coffee shop.

Quote from el pibe :ahh... seems like u oldies dont have compassion for teens anymore.

Some of them aren't that old, they're still in their teens. Oh and I don't have compassion for teens.... I was one, a very stupid one.


No it's a bad idea... Just go do a Myspace page and post a link in your signature.



iunno, Migz,

You guys took it way too far. >.>

Quote from spyxter :You pay 30 euros for the game and have to pass some stupid test? Don't want to sound rude, but it's ridiculous. For demoers as well.

Uhm, it was a thought not a suggestion. Don't see the point of doing like... How many tests are there? Instead of one test.

Quote from Kristi :We do not need credit system in LFS again. never again. thanks

To be honest, i'd like to be able to race the cars i've already bought one for 50 bucks. Not pay 50 bucks and not be able to race them.

Quote from geeman1 :I have no idea if you are for or against this idea.
Also I don't get what you wanted to say to me.

Against.

Quote from Kristi :He tried to say that, even if they complete the test, they will race on their own way, for example wreck everybody.

Right, correct, hit the spot.

Wouldn't it be easier to just take a simple test for a license?
Compose the test of certain skills and knowledge needed for racing?
If the test is failed then maybe take the driving lessons.

I never actually cared for the lessons, but I wouldn't take a simple test to prove i'm worthy enough to race online. Why complete courses or lessons (whichever you prefer to call them)?

Surely, you can't actually think taking a test is a good idea also... I'm against the lessons and anything else that wastes my time.

geeman1, it's called perfecting the lessons... people just study and pass the tests and race the way they want or see fit. Doesn't do a single thing but waste perfectly good time.

Quote from Homeless_Drunk :I really loathe that debate....anyone who plays that debate is a fanboy. It cost me $400 for my console and the ability to use Live. I have more HD space than the comparably priced PS3, I have all the same games as PS3 (except for exclusives, that goes both ways). I have a better online experience than PS3, one that keeps mateuring (last.fm, netflix, twitter, facebook, community games, ect). My games tend to have sharper and more vibrant textures, this is due to PS3's lack of graphic processing power (Cell CPU is not a GPU).

They are 2 different consoles. I own both. I have played the same games on both consoles...it stuck me as odd that PS3 textures usually look more blurry and washed out compared to 360. If you poke around the web you can find comparisons confirming this too. I find PSN to be pretty poor compared to Live (you get what you pay for?) and Home is a joke. I like my PS3 but I like my 360 better because of the online community and ease of hopping into games with friends.

GT5 vs LFS is really a non-debate. I think GT5 vs Forza 3 is more reasonable. I used to love the GT series but after playing Forza 2 I was converted. The physics, damage, and sounds of Forza 2 blew me away. It seems Polyphony loves their eye candy because it sells. They never really talk about the 'sim side' only how pretty the game is.

Recently in an interview Turn-10 said, "The game [Forza 3] delivers these astonishing realistic graphics while calculating physics at 360 times per a second." That's impressive for a lil console, imo. Cars in GT5 can't even roll over, I'd say that's a big hole in the physics.
