***ArmA 3 Thread***

[SkeeterUK]

Gfx options have changed, finally can remove blur without turning post processing to low or off.

Btw anyone find any good optimized settings yet. Im about 50+ fps atm but fancy 60 but wana keep all the nice visuals if i can.

Anyway you can run dev and main in parallel ?

Faff to switch between the 2 for multi

Maybe do a copy of the normal version install folder and rename it arma3n and do a shortcut of the exe to desktop and then update it to beta and run it through steam for that version. I do a similar thing with gta 4 with mods and vanilla.

Not that i am aware of Buckster.

There may be some custom shortcut "trick" though.

was excited about beta - first impressions I'm a bit disappointed

but need to experiment more - less to play with than I was expecting

and this Island is getting so boring now

 

[Buckster]

I think they need to do something about the movement of the helicopters

just tried the "Combined Ops" showcase - and the rapidly nodding helicopter at the start, frankly looks silly, and wrecks the realism

That's just how the AI handles flying along a waypoint. Doesn't happen with human players.

Agree on the island though. I just don't like the look/feel of Stratis.

fair enough - but could it not be smoothed out ? (reduce the AI reactions or something - not sure)

just looks silly ...

Yeah that's my biggest gripe atm. Feels like I'm on holiday playing Stratis lol. Give me rainy woodland anyday!

 

[Buckster]

have to say the night-time lighting effects, in combination with the fog and clouds are fantastic

some of the best I've seen

 

[C64]

how do you get the beta its asking for a code ?

 

[Buckster]

just don't type anything

When does this get the price increase to £30?

 

[jakspyder]

I can't stand the choppers. Grrrr, been playing a lot of arma2 with the yurapetrov blackhawks, konyos MH47 etc. Going to these arma3... toys is a drag, they look pretty good, interiors are ok but feel very cartoony? but they fly absolutely terrible.

When does this get the price increase to £30?

When the beta is released on Tuesday.

 

[Tibbz2]

Cheers, still can't decide whether to get it...

I'll think over the weekend.

I run it on a I3 and a 6870 and it runs decent enough just not with all the detail on

I have two Arma 3 Alpha Lite keys. Add me on steam and ask if you want one.

 

[nemtizz]

Is anyone else having issues with sound? I can barely hear footsteps and the reload sound but everything else is fine. I'm also getting a constant chirp of crickets (?) in my ears which is fun.
