I'm not aware of any mods which modernise it or anything. Just set the aiming deadzone to 0 and adjust the FOV for widescreen in the config files

TARGET. BMP. 9 O'CLOCK.

I just started it from Steam on my Windows 10 PC and had no problem. Not sure what the issue is.

>>15555313

It seems to run buttery smooth for 1-2 seconds, stop for 0.5 then run smoothly again for another 1-2 over and over.

I tried one of the fixes but apparently it doesn't work. I have an i7 and a GTX 1070 so fuck knows what's the problem…

>>15555273

I don't know about the kike'd remake, but the original (Cold War Crisis) obviously runs perfectly fine on my 8700k.

>i must install 50 mods into every single game i play no matter what the game is or what the mods are

>>15555473

btw I'm using an i5-6500 and GTX-760. Maybe it's a graphics card issue? Mine's a bit old so maybe avoiding some kind of modern hardware issue

>>15555482

I'm in the same boat as OP, I remember playing OPF back when it came out and actually finishing the American campaign and then forgetting about the game. When I decided to revisit it a few months ago and see what mods were available I realized that the community is an absolute clusterfuck and it's almost impossible to find any sort of comprehensive list of mods and what they're supposed to do.

Also, what's some good user made single player campaigns?

There used to be a decent mod site, but it seems to have gone down. There were a couple of vaguely interesting campaigns, but I dunno, if you want to go crazy with mods, you're better off with the modern releases

I just play with ECP nowadays. Someanon mentioned FFUR85 recently. Oddly, I've been playing this for so long but not just done much with it but QoL shit largely.

>>15555595

Do you mean GameFront/FileFront? Because the moddb guys resurrected it.

The Go-To Total Conversion mods for OFP are

>FFURSLX '85

FFUR was an asset replacement mod and SLX is an ai improvement mod, SLX by itself is good and there was really nothing special about FFUR but when you combine the fancy animations and assets of FFUR with the great firefights of SLX you get a keeper. Singleplayer only, but is most suited to spicing up singleplayer missions/campaigns.

>WW4 mod

It's an extended animation mod run by an autistic Frenchman. Assets are all bland but the animations are top-notch. It's an extension of GRAA3 mod which was a lightweight mod similar to FFUR but with no vehicle replacements. I can't remember if WW4 replaces assets, but I do know it added a whole heap of new camos that were all designed specifically to be toaster-friendly and multiplayer. (mostly to prevent the engine from shitting itself)

>Binmod

If you find a copy of this mod good for you, it added most of the features from the old ECP mods as well as 3D ironsights and some aspects of SLX mod. Not sure if it ran multiplayer as I never tested it.

>WGL5

Isn't a replacement mod, but it's a precursor mod for ACE mod, so expect similar autistic features that improve the base game immensely. Things like workable rucksacks, Tracers that look real fancy, Wounding system that's more fun-oriented than ACE2 or 3. Has tonnes and tonnes of missions available for singleplayer and multiplayer. It's the quintessential multiplayer coop mod king.

>FDFmod

Finlan mod :DDDD

Vast array of coop missions, some bad, some good, some WW2. Comfy winter missions and iirc a singleplayer campaign. Aside from the setting and assets, it also added light gameplay features such as attaching satchel charges to vehicles and bleeding, but AI is for the most part vanilla, unlike subsequent mods I've listed.

>Libmod/Reinhards WW2

way back in 2008 there was a good fella that collected all the WW2 assets ever made for the game and compiled them into one workable mod. The best features of Libmod were dragging wounded friendlies to cover (not all shots killed you, some would incapacitate you and you'd need an ally to heal you, SLX took this feature and made it a bit more fun, but isn't multiplayer like Libmod) digging/building fortifications (foxholes too, they were "vehicles" that you or AI could "get in") deployable MGs as well as movable AT guns (could be pushed with neat little animations, or towed by a vehicle) and tanks that had working armor (shots negated damage entirely if they didn't penetrate)

>>15555344

>>15555273

you idiots are probably trying to crank the draw distance to beyond 3k while also having the terrain detail on the highest setting. Dumb dumbs, the game is designed to be run on normal terrain detail and 3k view distance at the highest. Yes, they designed a game that quite literally cannot handle its own highest settings.

>>15555516

The double wammy of having all the old mods hosted on a now-dead site (Filefront) while also having Bohemia themselves change their forum layout/servers is what killed most of the modding for OFP.

>>15555696

Didn't SLX scoop up 90% of the features ECP provided anyway? Why not just play ECP with more intense firefights and prettier models?

Here's a ruskie archive of a shitload of OPF mods, campaigns and stuff. They even have the Binmod you mentioned.

Also, since you seem to know your stuff, what are some good fan campaigns?

>>15555743

>Yes, a game that can't possibly run on its highest settings

You're going to have to explain more about this… How the fuck can that even happen?

>Never use "Very high" terrain quality setting, nor exceed 1200-1300 visibility.[9]

>ubermachtig said:

>I can set all settings to high, However, when I set both visibility to 5000 and Texture quality to Very High, the game stalls immediately. I tried doing it 3 times, all causing a stall. Heck, after the last attempt I wasn't even able to pass the opening screen, forcing me to fully reinstall the game again.

>When you say "Texture quality" to Very High, are you not in fact setting the Terrain quality to Very High ?

>Because, if it is "Terrain", never set it to Very High, there's no computer that can run that game at Terrain "Very High" in a playable state during a mission.

>Especially with a very huge view distance (5000 is a very lot, too much, as OFP campaign was set with 900 view distance in mind, you're going to have lot of problem with some events triggering too early in mission with such high view distance)

>Set Terrain at maximum to Normal or Low to have the game running best.

>I also noticed that ArmA: Cold war Assault calls my processor a 'Intel Pentium Pro SSE 2803.3MHz" and it claims it has only 1.024 MB of RAM memory.

>For the wrong CPU detection, the OFP preferences had the same problem.

>But the memory detection in CAW preference is a new bug, on my 2gb memory it only detects 1024 memory, the OFP preference detect my 2gb correctly

>Oh and while i think about it, is -nomap integrated in the new executable or do we need to continue adding it to our shortcuts when wanting to avoid out of memory problems when using big addon packs ?

There's also RCWC that adds a lot of authentic stuff, as well as a shitton of missions and campaigns, but, as far as I know, it's Russian-only. Funny how they're one of the only active OFP groups alive to this day.

>>15574665

The Russian and Polish communities still seem to be somewhat active, maybe due to slavpotato PCs not being able to run ARMA 3.

Are there any noteworthy singleplayer missions? I've finally played through the whole thing with resistance now and tried a few of the WGL ones that work SP.

Now is it possible to get multiplayer to work for the next games night? maybe even with mods?

>>15588821

The WW2 mod had a MP extension but I have no clue if it'll work for Resistance

>>15588821

I'm not sure about everything but ECP Redux and WGL are working with that patch for me.
