***ArmA 3 Thread***

Having problems joining eutw servers. #3 has resulted in a CTD all 3 times i tried to join (right after recieving mission file), #4 lets me load in but only to the point of a camera view over the main base/spawnpoint both times i tried. Can join my own server without problems. Not running any mods and steam integrity check didnt bring anything up. Too tired/lazy to register on eutw forums at this point. Any regulars here got any ideas?

edit: can join #2 without problems. Wondering if its something to do with server load? (#2 is empty, #3 and #4 were almost full at time of writing)

edit edit: finally got into #4. Had a wonderful bonding session with some guy called 'dras leona', who apparently loathes simple questions with a burning passion, even when they are not aimed at, nor have anything to do with him. [/minirant]

I think BI said a certain network cards were causing issues but they were only causing BSOD. Was probably just down to the new patch or something they did with CTI.
 
So many people complaining about the new stamina system. It definitely needs work but it's not too bad. I particulary enjoyed this little gem of someone who likes it:

I'm tired of people running around with an LMG, a launcher, three missiles, half a dozen belt mags and enough medical supplies for 20 African villages.

stamina in A2 ACE encouraged team work and roles. Without it everyone does the above, with weight/stamina each person needs a specific role, medic, AT, etc etc.

Your machine gunners need to spread their equipment around the assistant gunner and this focuses teamwork as each guy brings a unique set of key tools and you work as a team to accomplish tasks.

It also encourages more intelligent logistical planning, taking vehicles, planning movement through terrain to maximise stamina efficiency and such AND it slightly slows the team down as they aim to conserve energy so if they take contact they can use a good burst of sprinting to save themselves, this slower pace increases security too and helps people avoid silly ambushes or walking right into enemy patrols as they're forced to slow down and take stock.

tweeks to exact values are always important, too little stamina is bad, too much means its useless.
 
Latest Dev branch update

  • Decreased general sway and breathing distortion speeds by 20%

    Decreased lateral sway movement by 20%

    Increased time window of holding breath to 8 seconds (previously 6) but also slightly decreased the time needed for holding breath to take full effect. Breathing speed values restored to previous values, speed decrease has meaning only for lateral sway.

I'm taking the liberty of reinstalling this. I bought it when it debuted via early access. What's the performance like? How would it fare with the system in my signature?

If you're after some multiplayer action, any server that runs well made missions you will be fine.

I don't really do SP much on Arma 3 but the more AI in the mission the more your system will struggle regardless of how much grunt you have.

I can tell you what settings to change if it struggles (I doubt you will though) to get it running smoother when I get back from work!
 
Trying to play whole lotta Altis map mission but I keep getting this error when trying to load a new save game.

Downloaded SOS from Armaholics, Speed of sound RC1, not sure if it's the latest build of it or not.

Lots of weapons come up with an error about missing sound and even if they don't, the sounds are all messed up in game.

Shame as from the youtube vids is definitely more realistic imo than JSRS.

Looks like you're trying to resume it without running the mods that were running when you saved it?

I was using same mods all the time, started a new game a few times to try and save it and had the same thing.

I have fixed it for now with removing all mods and I will do a test to find what one is causing the error to show.

Cheers.
