***ArmA 3 Thread***

It's Apex release day. I know you can have had the experience already by using the sneak preview but anybody buying it today? I bought it yesterday but had no time to play so am waiting for it to become "live" on steam later so I can have a bash at Tanoa

Bought it a while ago then the devs gave me a free copy :p might do a giveaway in the next few days on here.

I just had a quick go on Tanoa in the editor to see how performance is, as I was worried with the dense forest/jungle etc, but it's completely fine.

Also I thought I recognized your name from somewhere when it popped up on my phone the other day (you commented on one of my videos :p )
 
i really can't get into this game at all. i've tried and tried but it's just no appealing to me.

that and the fact at max setting i'm getting 30%cpu usage and 50%gpu usage and still only getting 38FPS lol

assuming it's poorly optimised for 12 threaded cpu's

Any particular mission/mods you're playing? A lot of the more "popular" ones are pretty poorly made and will destroy your FPS.

Try reducing your Object visibility distance.
 
I love Arma 3, I think it has the potential to be the best game ever in my opinion. The only problem I have is that I can never find servers that play properly, but aren't mil-sim/serious and that I can drop in and out of (obviously staying for a whole game). Mic requirements are a thing for me too. While I can listen 100%, I can't often talk which puts me out of a lot of places :( I do understand that it makes it so much easier etc, but if I were allowed to just respond a little in chat would be great!

Mess around with the editor a fair bit, but I like doing missions where I don't know what's going to happen. Using the auto gen tools like Alive etc are ok, but they can be finicky and are never persistent.

Probably will still buy Apex though lol

Just the single player campaign mode. i can hit 60fps reducing draw distances and shadow distances no problem. but the fact i have 50% of my GPU and 70% of my CPU available baffles me. i've even set it to full performance mode in nvidia driver. have no problems with any other games i own.

Have you tried the EUTW servers?

In that case it's just Arma being Arma :( Lots of AI units will drain fps too unfortunately.
 
I hear you with the zombie/Life thing, absolutely awful! EUTW is pretty much the only option for decent vanilla PvP without having to join a unit. I believe they aim to have Tanoa version online by the end of the week.
