Posted: 2003-11-05 - by Mayme


Heads up, Soldiers! This just in from higher HQ: the long-awaited update to AA:O (v2.0) is expected to debut tomorrow. This new version, codename "AA:SF (SFAS)", is bursting at the seams with new features.

Taken from www.americasarmy.com

Im guessing this is going to be one big download.

Yeah just grabbing it from fileplanet now, another 2 1/2 hours to go for full install

Try to get the server setup this weekend hopefully get our server man onto it asap

Having trouble doing the first part for the SF trainning, matbe if I could stay awake through the talking part that might help

Takes so bloody long to give it another go though, best I have managed so far is 56%.

What do I need to pass the exam?

[da_ging]

lol i passed with 80% although had to sit it twice as i walked out thinking it had gone wrong when nothing happened for ages

for the escape and evade 1 just go prone for it all and when u hear a voice stop and only move at slowest pace untill u are a fair bit away also only move slow thru bushes when near the towers

LOL I done that the first time. I thought it had mucked up as well, but you are suppose to be looking at the posters on the wall

%@£^$% cant play the hospital map as its laggy as hell on every damn server with it on

snipers have pistols tho and that rocks

Just finished the SF's trainning

The E&E was quite easy in the end.

With regards to lag, this little fix may help, although I've not yet tried it meself so no guarantees:

For everyone out ther with lag problems

Try this one:

1. open your americas army\system\armyops.ini file .
2. goto the line where it says: CacheSizeMegs=X (x is a number that may vary). if it says 32, replace it by 64.
This increases the cache used by the game.

Save the file.

Please provide feedback if this helps reducing the lag.

I've also seen that peeps are recommending this:

Taken from GSV forums :

I recommend setting it to half the size of your total system ram.

If you have 1GB set it to 512

Hope that helps and if I have any probs I'll be trying the above

looks like they still havent found a proper fix for the sf lag as they have already reduced all servers to a max of 24 players from 26 and now ALL the SF maps have a limit of only 20 players
