[jakspyder]

yeah choppers leave a lot to be desired. but they're well improved over intital alpha. I'm confident now that they'll get there eventually.

Does anyone on here do smaller coop missions? The pub ones are always just a disorganized mess and some organised missions would be great fun.

Yup, we will normally try out most COOP missions. A few of us are making our own as well.

Here's my first /Shameless plug

And here's what myself and a few guys just got up to...

 

[Wogahamsel]

Well that is certainly a nice way to travel. Just had a decent coop experience finally on the Ahoy servers. Just shame fps drops so low in MP compared to SP missions.

 

[theonejat]

Id be up for some of the smaller coop missions if people are making them. Be pretty cool if we could get some specific nights every month or week to do them.

Arma 3 is giving BF a run for its money in terms of graphics etc, it looks incredible. What i cant get my around is how big it is! ... gonna need 100 player servers standard! Cant wait until full release now.

I made a little first look video on Altis and chatted a bit about it, i didnt link it as i think i swore once or twice when recording and didnt want to get a dressing down! (Link to my channel is in my sig)

 

[mike.grayizzle]

Had a very brief run around on MGT today, looks nice but I was stuck on sub 25 FPS.

Get over 50 FPS in some of the scenarios so I will wait for full release and begin to tinker to see if I can improve online performance.

 

[JGStonedRaider]

"It's a beta build" "performance should improve on release" etc etc...guys it's an Arma game on the "classic" (I use classic rather than antiquated) 32bit game engine. It won't get significantly better at any point, I really enjoy the game, but when I am getting 11fps that is normally enough for me...ragequit

 

[Xcept1]

What sort of missions would you guys like to see? I'm going to hopefully have my latest one finished later today then will need some ideas for starting my next one.

What about a smaller 4-6 person one that a few of us can jump in if a few of us are online?

 

[Xcept1]

Infantry only? Combined ops? What sort of objectives?

I get 40-60fps on there matey, afaik, it's the only Wasteland mod for Altis with working vehicles and playable fps. It's a complete re-write of the mission file for Altis and it's very much wip.

Mel

Have a pilot dedicated for airlifts, also have a a gunship on standby.

Make both playable, I want to get back to feeling that it is a group objective,

I would make the gunship a good five to ten mins out from the call if needed though.

Not on your server DB, damn thing is always full so will try and check that out now.

I am talking about Invade and Annex missions (but applies to most MP servers) I have been doing the past few night. Specifically on the AhoyWorld servers, great fun when a good bunch is on, but the low fps when everyone chucks smoke and other times is just stupid. At the time I was playing with someone who had a 3930 + 680 and exactly the same fps as me so while servers have a lot to do with it, the game is just a complete failure in regards to engine performance.

Yes the game looks beautiful and is an improvement from Arma 2 but the performance is just shocking for a game released in late 2013.

I'll bite my tongue for now, I agree with you but I still have some faith that they can push better performance out, if not before release but continually after it, like they did with A2/OA. Unfortunate as it may be though, I can't see them doing much more

Stratis coops are fine, with 60-75ish people and AI.
But Altis, around one of the larger towns crawls, every single person on the server had issues, most people talked about the 18FPS range, that was with 300 AI apparently but FPS maintained the same even right to the end when I'd say a lot of them were dead.

Even did a 2 player coop in the same town and we had the same FPS, so it's limited by something else, I'd assume the towns itself with objects. I guess that's the trade off we get for having every building enterable and on such a large scale. But the difference in performance from people with beasts of a PC to others with average PCs was minor, so there's a bottleneck somewhere.

 

[mike.grayizzle]

I know it's still in beta and I also know my pc is mid range at best so was not having a moan about the game.

Was curious when they released the small island first as performance was quite encouraging. Unless I have one of my settings wrong I'm not sure how enjoyable MP will be for me
