1. - Install Arma, you will have v1.04. 2. - Visit http://www.armedassault.com/dwnl_update.html For UK version you need : Boxed DVD ArmA: Armed Assault by 505 Games Version 1.04 then, Download and install Euro 1.05* update (227mb)* then, Updated to version 1.05 then, Download and install International 1.08* update (565mb)* 3. - Once you have v1.08, goto http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=2534 This is Patch 1.09.5208 (BETA), Once installed, this will allow you to run the Official v1.08 and v1.09beta (you can also uninstall v1.09beta in the future, leaving v1.08 intact.). Game patches are also hosted on the Armaholic.com site if you need alternative download. You now have Arma v1.08 (with v1.09beta) 4. - Now that Arma is installed, you need to download and install 6th Sense.eu Mod v1.24. http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=468 It is a 1Gb download. You also require 6th Sense.eu MapPack Can't find link atm, not essential (as you can download the map from server on join). When you have finished this, you have the basic setup. 5. - Now for a minimod which enhances cover (obstructs A.I from seeing through vegetation.) Download http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=2314 Once downloaded extract and place the folder '@DurgsVegetationFix' within your Arma install directory, then open 'Tools' within '@DurgsVegetationFix' and run the batch file, let it run until it closes itself. When done to use the mod you need to add " -mod=@DurgsVegetationFix " to the Arma shortcut uses to start the game, there are various shortcuts (i.e. one for beta, one for 6th sense). example target string for the 6th sense shortcut is - "C:\Program Files (x86)\ArmA\beta\arma.exe" -nosplash - noPause -mod=@DurgsVegetationFix;dbe1;beta;@6thSenseMisc;@6thSenseMod;@6thSenseQG note the first bit is specific to my install path, but the @DurgsVegetationFix comes before the other ones, separated with colon. Ask if unclear once you have everything installed. Once installed, the Arma directory will be 10Gb+ in size, patching time also depends on free disk space (unpacks and processes lots of files). So ensure you have sufficient disk space.

How about adding some recommended GFX settings - I think I set the draw distance at 10KM before and it ran like a pig

I use 2500m draw distance with all settings on lowest except blood. (lol) it runs smooth about medium with 2.5km, but being able to see further is much more useful.

mods currently in use on the server: Durg's Vegetation fix http://www.keepandshare.com/doc/view.php?id=740562&da=y and AACF Sounds v2.3 http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=2744 Once you've unpacked these into your \Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\ folder you can then edit/make a shortcut with the following command-line switches: -nosplash -noPause -mod=@DurgsVegetationFix;@AACFsounds So mine for eaxmple is: "D:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\arma.exe" -nosplash -noPause -mod=@DurgsVegetationFix;@AACFsounds The order in which the mods appear does matter, so follow the -mod= bit exactly. Good hunting y'all
