***ArmA 3 Thread***

Just purchased this. Hmmm is it just me just me or are the tutorials kinda terrible ??

Tried do a mission but my keyboard stopped working ingame for some strange reason.

sounds very unlikely, whats your speed reading. I used to have 128k dsl and it was always fine for games, 64 player bf2

They dont take much bandwidth because whatever you have to handle is upto 100x greater on the server

But arma can use a lot of bandwidth, well relatively a lot, for him it would be.
40-50kB/s average for me 967.64MB Down/70MB up over a 6 hour session, including the parts between missions etc. That's not including voice data which for me is teamspeak but I know some servers use ingame.

But I do play regularly with 80-100+ people, they're not always within object range so you can assume it'll use less on lower pop servers.
I think people under estimate how much data flow happens at large player count games, especially those with a lot of physics calculations, it however usually isn't the raw bandwidth that is the issue, it's keeping everyone in sync and with arma it's very, very fussy if people have packet loss at higher 60+ player counts. Rather than skip information it'll wait until it receives it and hold up everyone else on the server, until they either do exactly that or disconnect.

I'd be up for that if my internet downloads it in time. Still wanna try some hide and seek mind...

Whoever hosts should run an editor/armoury type mission, just plonk a load vehicles and kit somewhere with a respawn script :)

That would do it, thats proper data but then I dont care if that cuts out a bit. I presume its priority would be secondary but who knows. Maybe I will look with netlimiter and see


This Altis dev update build shows as 600mb ?

If its of any use we now have a 20 slot TS channel on our warfare server that could be used. The other guys im running it with use it for messing around a lot so im sure if i spoke to them they'll keep it clear for tomorrow evening :)
 
I got ARMA 3 the other day, done the showcase scenarios and downloaded a few other mostly to learn helicopters.

Where are the planes?

what planes will be in ARMA 3?

Do I need the dev build ?

What will the benefit be of having over my normal beta?

Any good mods or must haves ?
