Right click on ARMA 3 in your Steam library, go to properties and in one of the tabs in that menu there's a dropdown for betas to opt into. It might be an actual beta tab or a downloads tab, I can't remember.

EDIT:derp, beaten to it.

Are there any more units in the beta version?

Found the video.

 

[mothermachine]

I think that might become a classic video.

 

[BigChief]

Arrrgg why did my pc have to die 2 days into alpha :, (

NNOOO!!!

Man down!

Another video to add:

For anyone looking to squeeze a few more FPS out of this whilst maintaining some anti-jaggy protection I've found that FXAA + 87% rendering resolution looks pretty much the same as SMAA + 100% due to the sharpness filter on the FXAA. You gain a few FPS doing so so might be worth a punt.

 

[Calin Banc]

Doesn't that make the final image look worse because the resolution isn't the native one for the monitor? It's not all about "ladders" in the final IQ.

I love it when people genuinely crease up with laughter.

Further tinkering, dunno if anyone can confirm this and I hope it's just an alpha issue:

Shadows when in open areas when going from disabled->low, some rocks a few bushes maybe a tree or two maybe cost 1-2 fps. Even when in a base or town the fps hit maybe 5-10fps.

However when in a place of more dense foliage, a forest or just a thicker collection of bushes my FPS dies on it's arse. Talking going from 80fps to 20-30fps.

What is the Arma3 OCUK server password??

None now, I was just testing a mission with a few of the guys. Password is off now.

What is the Arma3 OCUK server password??

Should be off now, if its ever passworded join us on TS and we'll let you know.

Performance has not improved for me, checked my gpu settings and its only ever between 30%-50% in game. My FPS is about 15-30 and its only playable if I join servers with 5 people in it. I understand it's an alpha and i'll wait for more performance patches.

EDIT: So by maxing every game setting possible I managed to get my GPU usage to 70% and now it runs consistently 35-40fps.

What is the Arma3 OCUK server password??

MGT has one on the MGT/OcUK Wasteland server due to it filling with randoms, pw is overclockers.

Ninja name change explains a lot from earlier in this thread

 

[Too Tall]

Great post.

The reason I clarified the server names is because you have only just added OCUK to yours.

Simple.

Steam > Library > Arma3 > RClick > Properties > Rightmost tab ie Betas > Select development build.

Right click on ARMA 3 in your Steam library, go to properties and in one of the tabs in that menu there's a dropdown for betas to opt into. It might be an actual beta tab or a downloads tab, I can't remember.

Just been on the OCUK server, did one map, in woodland pvp style, 100% GPU usage on both cards, 60FPS constant.

Map change to something more open, 30fps or less 30% on each card.

Odd.
