Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising - does th2go work ?

Post by **Downtown1** » 10 Oct 2009, 05:39

Wow, amazing... I need to pick this up. How's the single player? Similar to Ghost Recon (the first good one, not the crappy GRAW series)? Some other game? Or is it mostly about the multi?

Too bad the hud isn't centered, but it looks like there isn't much on it anyway? I'm guessing it's like Far Cry 2 where it only shows up when you start shooting/reloading?

i realize what is wrong with my aspect ratio but still dont know how to fix it.

for some reason AUTO means 16:10 no matter what resolution. my monitor is 16:10 , is that why..?

Takes a little to get use to the team command gesture thing while in combat which makes playing against AI a little tough and even tougher in 'Experienced' mode. I wish I had more time to really play it and give a solid review, but so far I'm diggin' it...something to pass the time until CoD: MW2. :wink:

Anyway, works great with max settings @ 4320x900 and 'Auto' for the aspect ratio.

Great looking screenies btw. :)

looks interesting, what about the resulting frame rates at that high resolutions?

Ye works really nice in TH.

Still waiting for the patch to come out and fix all the issues. That patch should rather be a miracle. Otherwise my team and me will play another 10 years of OFP1.

Wow, that looks great! Is there anyway to get this FOV on a single display?

The auto function works on your desktop resolution if that helps. (so it'll have to match your game res)

Just arrived...

Does anyone know how to disable the HUGE mission markers (like the waypoint flags and the huge dots of the suppress fire area). They cover the targets so much I cannot see what is going on there... I guess if you play on harder than normal they disappear but I want to get used to a couple of maps first before I go harder difficulty.

I don't have it on this computer but... it is available from the in-game menu, not sure what it's called tho. - Thats not very helpful I know, but it is there! under game options at a guess.

Late reply but, for the record...
In the demo, on Normal and Experienced difficulty, you can switch RV Indicator (yellow dot w/ flag) on/off from the Game Settings menu. There's no obvious way to hide the objective markers (white dot w/ number) on Normal difficulty though, and these also do take a lot of space in surround...

Hey Scavv, I haven't played for a while (waiting for some mods!) but are you selecting 'auto' in the graphics AR section? It changes back to 16:9 for me every time I start the game. Having it at 16:9 doesn't effect the FoV or the like, it only makes the on screen icons huge. If you select auto every time before you play (or every time after you change res for a DR :evil: ) it will make those icons smaller.

Thanks dude, I sure didn't know the AR resetting didn't affect the FOV (so I *always* selected 'Auto' again before playing). However, the AR reset to 16:9 does not result in bigger markers, just... stretched big markers.
