General Discussion (dev branch)

Bad news, game isn't available yet and DLC page on Steam is down

[progamer 14]

Just noticed there is zero sound for vehicle impact with human :/

Yea! There are sounds even for your uniform on you body!

I just saw a DLC tab in Steam for Arma 3. Tell me it isn't so...

This series has had Expansions now known as DLC since the original OFP.

[progamer 14]

I think they are just adding that section for down the road in the future when they have lots of new content.

[Smurf 12]

That's standard Steam thing.

[chortles 263]

And it just makes sense to have that section, when even free-to-acquire additional content is nowadays considered DLC.

[pharoah 65]

Didn't the devs say we were getting Altis via the dev branch during Gamescom?

[mantls 2]

They said maybe. But isn't Gamescom next week? :D it's only a few more days anyway.

I would expect it to hit shortly though.

[pharoah 65]

My only issue is...they mentioned it as a maybe but their last official correspondence re the Beta was:

Workshop Package!

Before our official launch on September 12, we released the final update for the Arma 3 Beta! Besides a long list of improvements and fixes, the highlight of this update is the integration of Steam Workshop - which makes the sharing of user-created scenarios significantly more convenient. Oh, we also released 9 brand new screenshots: http://j.mp/arma3-gamescom-screenshots. See you at Gamescom!

Note the word 'final update'. Ahh well, its 3 weeks or so away. I'm just totally bored with Stratis.

Note the part where this has nothing to do with the dev build.

[SirJD 10]

Also note that it is listed as the final public patch. The Dev build will still be receiving updates from here until release - as well as post release. Whether at the same pace, that's another matter. The Devs have mentioned a more irregular update schedule with less sweeping changes, given the game is moving into those final crunch weeks before release.

Also, in regards to Altis, I posted on that earlier in the thread with specifics. Might still be handy

Was fooling around with the Darter and a refuel trigger, didn't go overboard with testing but I think refueling at 85 meters above the trigger is a little unrealistic. Triggers need a Z-axis or height limit of some description to prevent easy fly overs to quickly rearm, refuel and repair.

[Tyl3r99 41]

so we could receive altis this week or next :) I think :D exited isn't the word

You could easily do that by adding a condition in that will make the trigger only fire if the vehicle is below a certain height.

[Tyl3r99 41]

when is this DATA LOCK taking place? now or towards gamescom?

[liquidpinky 11]

Or have it shut down engines while refuelling, just for the lulz.

[starky396 1]

Anyone else just get a 114MB patch?

[heruon 1]

Anyone else just get a 114MB patch?

Sure did. Wonder what's in it..

[purepassion 22]

when is this DATA LOCK taking place? now or towards gamescom?

It's in place since the 14th, 24:00

[starky396 1]

Well, I see nothing new. Must just be fixes I guess.

[13islucky 10]

Showcase Vehicles and Showcase Helicopters are now in CSAT language

Can anyone test this? I'm unable to check for myself and very curious.

[purepassion 22]

Yup, the voice overs have been changed! The actors are really good as well :)

Though what language is that exactly? From the helicopter showcase, the first radio segment sounded rather asian than south-asian.

[doveman 7]

Steam Workshop is made for ArmA. :inlove: So damn easy to get new missions to play now.

Yeah, as long as they don't require any mods :rolleyes:

[Victim9l3 11]

You are very correct. "Exited is not the word", but "excited" is the word. :) sorry I just couldn't pass that one up.

[raspu86 92]

I made a quick recording of the new OPFOR voices. Maybe somebody can identify their language. http://www.twitch.tv/raspu86/b/448074789
