In need of help With Star Trek Aramada II

posted on May 26th, 2012, 6:55 am

Like in Star trek Aramada 2 my game starts to lag when i high light a group of ships. Can someone tell me how i can disable the highlight bubles around every ship i think they are the reason my game starts to lag badly when i highlight a group of ships. On the lastest versions of Fleet ops those high light bubles dont show up any more could any one tell me what they did to cut them off or take them out of the game?

The selection bubbles shouldn't cause a problem. In Fleet Operations they've just been replaced by invisible models.

Armada II in general is not well optimized for newer computers - I would suggest running stock Armada II as a mod of Fleet Operations

Currently I can't find the page, as the forum is undergoing some technical difficulties, but you might be able to run a search for it here . It's also uploaded to ModDB as well.

How do you run it as a mod of Fleet Operations, and can i use Aramada II mods with it?

I remember having the old radeon 9500 pro, apparently armada is quite troubled with ATi graphics cards.

But as far as i know there was supposed to be some patch out there that is supposed to remove that kind of problem by removing the troublesome textures.

Even then that patch was hard to come by but now it should be next to impossible!

Simply extract into a folder called "Mods" in Fleet Operations data directory: A2 Classic download - Star Trek: Armada II Game - Mod DB

Yes, other Armada II mods can work with it if you follow some simple instructions - Converting Stock Mods - The Hitchhiker's Guide to Fleet Operations

Hmmm... I'm curious... can the old armada 2 campaign be played with FO tech?

The A2 campaign is functional when played as a mod of Fleet Ops
