I installed AA 2.5, but it will not start up. I see the splash screen and then it goes to a black flullscreen like it's about to start up, but then it closes. I get this error.

Found the solution!

The display driver requires POSIX shared memory to be enabled on the system in order to run these applications correctly. This feature should be enabled by default on most current Linux distributions, but may be disabled intentionally by some system administrators or not included in older distributions.

To enable POSIX shared memory on your system, perform the following as root:

1. Add to following line to /etc/fstab (if it isn't there already):

tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

2. Mount POSIX shared memory as follows:

mount /dev/shm

3. Issue the following command to check that it mounted properly:

mount | grep "shm"

4. If the mount was successful, then the following output (or similar) should appear:

tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)

At this point, POSIX shared memory is enabled. Your 3D applications should run properly and the error message above should no longer occur.

If the output from this commnd is blank, then the mount failed.

If /dev/shm fails to mount, then this feature may not be turned on in your Linux kernel. In this case we recommend upgrading to a more recent Linux kernel, or contacting your Linux Distribution vendor for more information on enabling this feature.


Did this and now AA works perfectly.

It runs like a dream, loading times are 2x quicker, and even with my 32MB (!!!!) graphics card, I can play most maps without to much lag :D

A little thing I found today is to edit ~.armyops250/System/Armyops.ini and change MaxTextureUnits to the actual number of texture units on your card. I got about double my frame rates by doing that. It's under the OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice section.

How can you find the number of texture units your card has? I have a Radeon 9200.

The radeon 9200 has 4 pipelines and 1 texture unit per pipeline, so it should be 4

Hey guys, I have a little problem,
I've just downloaded Americas Army v2.8.2 and when I start installing it, it says: Fail 1: failed to install ISKernel Files
Make sure you have the privileges on this machine.
It's not the problem of the download, but the problem of my pc.
I have a windows Vista, so if someone of you can help me, I would be very glad!!!

It's fully downloaded and the first screen of installing woth all that extracting stuff, is gone and normally windows installer need to start, but then comes the erorr.
Is it possible that Americas Army doesn't run on Windows Vista?:(
