1. Turn off Battleye.

2. Setup difficulty to any but not Custom.

3. Try to switching screen display mode from Full Screen to Full Screen Windowed.

 

I tried turning off Battleye, and difficulty was already set to regular.  Thanks for the advice, but no luck.   This expansion should have a one song soundtrack.  FREEZE FRAME - J Geils band.  Frame freezes right before i take a shot or AI does.  Miserable.

How do you even do this? You have to launch Steam and connected to Steam to play.

I presume he meant on disable steam overlay, then you are running a3 "without" steam.

This error keeps popping up in Eden... 

All other units in the NATO (Woodland, EMP) faction have editorpreviews with the exception of the ammo bearer, just running your mouse over this unit in Eden produces error message.

No other mods loaded other than Contact.

Thanks for the report - issue should be gone in next Arma update 🙂

Got back into ArmA after all this time, bought Contact, and I have to say, I'm impressed. Really good writing here, characters were interesting and varied, dialogue felt good. Loved the new comms mechanics, though I often had an issue locating both speakers in a conversation, and brining the device out fast enough. No FPS issues, but the reason for my absence is that I got back into flight sims, and when you've set your rig up for flying jets in 4K VR, it doesn't even warm up properly when playing on the good old screen, so this might not be the average player's experience. I enjoyed the plot twists, I have to say that the story was really fresh. 

 

I'd love to see a BI game follow up on this. Even if not in the ArmA series (which should probably remain closer to Earth, although there's no harm in tying the universes together), not necessarily even a shooter, but the story has some real potential. Could be a better way to continue the future setting's storylines than to set the next ArmA even further out in the future, in fact (mostly because good chunks of A3 are hilariously outdated even now).
