I'm rather surprised how well it runs with my rather old 9600GT, although the fps does take a fair hit in town it's still playable.
Just bought Arma III, looking forward to playing with you guysss :)
There should be an anchor or some weight on that thing.

I'm still laughing at that.

Happened to me too, yesterday. Today it just decided to work, for some reason. It worked before yesterday though.
Problems still with the game:
AI are still uber-perceptive sniper supersoldiers (1 squad of enemies 100+ meters away, I'm a sniper. I'm prone, hiding in rocks, impossible to see me. I fire once and they know exactly where I am and kill me in a few shots)
Changing weapons still is clunky/stand still to do it
Even the light vehicles (ifrit, hunter) are damn near invincible to small arms fire

first 2 agree with, last one, disagree, they should be, for realism reasons.
I've gotten the ARMA 2 Content working but its VERY BUGGY, does anyone know what pbos you need to delete. The anims are on the A3 units are totally fucked.

I find the best way to take on the light vehicles is to shoot all the tires off. Once they're all destroyed the AI will get out.

I think you pretty much nailed it. It used to be fun in Arma 2 to notice a armed truck or humvee driving down a road and being able to disable it and kill the passengers with just an assault rifle.

Of course the AI is left a bit to the mission maker and the person hosting the mission. The mission maker can decrease the skill of the AI while the mission hoster can edit his difficulty to make enemy AI worse.
I like set up roadside bombs when explosives are available. Otherwise I chuck grenades at them, usually works.

You should change some keybinds so that "Hold breath" isn't the same as zoom in. Holding your breath for too long will tank your accuracy, and it's nice to be able to zoom in without having that happen.

I liked it too, it made technicals and other light vehicles glass cannons of sorts. They had the potential to level a squad pretty quickly, or engage from much longer distances than infantry can depending on their weapons, but they had to be quick to react to return fire.
The same qualities also made them pretty decent as patrolling enemies in coop missions where taking AT isn't a strict requirement.
Makol did you ever get a chance to do some tests with that other computer of yours?
The X4 955 3.2 + GTX 560 one?

Yeah, the last video I posted was recorded on it. I managed to get about 50fps when in the editor and 30~40 in multiplayer, depends on the mission and location.
I have pretty much everything on high, but with clouds and post processing off. Particlesand shadows on standard. For AA I have it set to 2xwith FXAA Ultra. View distance is about 1800 I think. ATOC is all trees and grass.

They aren't the same. The reason for my inaccuracy was from getting shot and using full auto.
Actually the Ifrit and Hunter might appear to be immune to small arms fire, but shooting into them definitely hurts the soldiers inside
me and simkas were sat in the back of one as it got lit up by a machinegunner and both nearly died

here's my vip mission properly fixed, there's no unfair pilot task anymore and the opfor have many times fewer explosives because of that instant victory last time.
Anyone know the password to the Facepunch server that's up now for ArmA 3?

if it's the OP one they want you to join the TS for it
How do I update a mission that I uploaded to armaholic?
Is there an tdm server with pistols only online? Can't find any... I so wish for one.
So since A2 content is so easy to port over...
Would it be as easy to import stuff like I44?
[QUOTE=Usernameztaken;39846968]So since A2 content is so easy to port over...

I44 uses quite a bit of custom animations for their stuff, and units are not easy to port over since the updated gear functionality for ArmA 3.
Anyone know why when I play Takistan life, I get 60+fps when beginning, 60+fps in vehicles, but the second I get out it drops to 10fps, the longer I stay in the vehicle, the lower the fps is outside the vehicle, literally nothing changes apart from the fact I get out a vehicle.
Also when in a menu, the fps goes back up to 60+fps, but when exiting it, back down to ~10fps. Seriously need help, makes the game unplayable.
Are there any known tricks to boost fps? Right now pretty much every single option is disabled or on ultralow, and it still seems to be pretty laggy. I tried all of the different settings, like ultra by itself, or ultra/high with shadows off, but none of it really makes a difference.

Put "-cpucount=#ofcpucores" in the launch options on steam (without quotes), which may give a bit of a FPS boost.
Since the game is in Alpha, these lag/performance issues will happen.

Lower view distance.
I just keep crash at 3/4 of loading bar on every wasteland server, anyone know the solution?
