Anyone played this game yet?

It rules, but I have come across many bugs, stoping me from passing a mission.

Yeah, Operation Flashpoint rocks.
I've been playing it non-stop, i'm currently stuck on a mission where i am a special op in the campaign mode where i am supposed to singe handedly destroy a platoon of enemy tanks and take out some enemy AT guys as my secondary objectives, extremely tough mission.

What bugs?

Any bugs i've noticed are very minor and only happen rarely here.

I had to do a mission three times because it kept crashing to the desktop.
It's probably a nvidia driver bug, again.

Also, it runs very very slow in 32-bit colour.

What graphics card are you using (and the driver versions), how upto date is your system? DirectX 8.0a etc?

Have you made sure to run the Operation Flashpoint Preferences configure util before running it?

Operation Flashpoint runs like lightning here and it has never crashed to the desktop.

My systems in fine.

I'm using GTS. Det's 12. babbaba. My friend has a V5, he has similar problems. He runs in 16 bit anyway, so it is faster. Can't stand 16-bit on a GeForce2. I take my Voodoo3 over it!

Hmm, thats all very odd... the game runs absolutely fantastic here.
How far in the campaign game are you?
I finally got past that mission i was stuck on earlier, yay!

I was doing the mission where you had to protect the convoy. It kept crashing to the menu. But have done it now!

I think I know why the game hasn't been released in the US yet. They used the English as beta testers, so they could fix all the bugs for the Americans and release a patch later on. Lazy devs!
