Do they plan on releasing a demo for this? Mainly to see how it runs. I've been bitten too many times to buy a game full price these days knowing you can't get refunds.

There's a lite version I think? Or there was anyway, I had some codes left in my steam inventory but not sure if they're still valid.
 
demo was 6 months ago and it expired. I reckon they will release a free version with low textures and no multiplay maybe within a year?

The game runs fine on a computer with a fast cpu. Even the 8800gt I use now works, it does need like an i7 or similar is most likely to cause lag if missing

That's looking really good mate, is your 5850 1gb? Maybe knock down the textures to high if you are getting stuttering. You could try knocking up view distance a little until it gets clunky then back it off a little? eg 4000 view distance 2000 object, should still be smooth hopefully.

yeah thats the one, the 1gb.

Found out the stuttering was the server. A friend joined me and i asked him to tell me when he gets a stutter. Turned out to be the exact same time as me.
 
Some news:

First campaign episode due to arrive before the end of the month, with date to be announced sometime this week. New marksman rifle and a couple of pistols included. CAS Jets and new IFV demoed at Firstlook expo last weekend, due to arrive in later campaign episodes. Sadly I couldn't find any photos/videos/screenies online.

Anyone know cheapest place to get a Steam key please?

And not one of the region free Russian keys i keep coming across when searching myself...


How come as well on GMG the physical copy is £19.99 and £26.99 for just a Stream key?:confused:

EDIT: Never mind. Got it

That videos tempted me to have another blast on ARMA 3, haven't played it for a while properly.

If you do come back mate, play king of the hill.

Your stats and rank are saved (takes quite a while to rank up).. The higher you go the more weapons, choppers and tanks you can buy!

IF anyone used to enjoy playing Domination Co-op, its basically exactly the same only 3 RL teams are fighting to keep control of the AO!

Love it love it love!
 
So i checked the dev branch update thread this morning and it was announced that there would be no update today. Fast forward a bit and all of a sudden A3 is downloading a 1.7gb patch.

This should be interesting...

edit: Download has increased to 2.3GB :confused:

hmmmmm i wonder :D:D:D:D
 
I've not been bothered by A3 for quite some time now (not actually played since the beta ended), are there any decent missions/more content out yet? A quick check on the official forums suggests it's all the same old stuff. That includes the usual horrendous slow down all MP servers get :(
 
Seems to be a false alarm. Given that the download is constantly bouncing anywhere between 300mb and 3gb I'm suspecting I've got some sort of corruption :(

Not really paid much attention to missions tbh. WFBE has made its debut if its of any interest but if I'm honest its just not the same as A2 due to the limited content (eg factories are just generic buildings used as placeholders). Dev branch has mostly been tweaks and fixes for a while now, with the main exception of some fancy new light ray thing (which I've not tried yet)

Side note, first campaign episode is going to be released 31st Oct. They're promising a few new bits and pieces with it as well.

Is this optimised any better yet?

Not played it for a couple of months.

The 1.02 main branch patch fixed a few issues regarding performance, for example Altis no longer grinds to a halt when you pan around quickly (assuming reasonable VD/OD settings), and the in game map renders much faster now

Can't some soon enough!

Tried that King of the Hill...3rd person and player icons for friendlies. Shame :(

My performance was terrabad on the large island but one of the last major updates fixed it and my machine is modest. If they could get the 4 blufor vs 1 opfor/ai mission on the go it would be worth putting some time into.

Main issue still seems to be the laser accurate ai though.:(
