After 1.62 update I noticed a massive increase in "flickering trees" when you watch them at distance. Uploading screenshots to show what I mean. It happens in Vanilla Arma 3, both Tanoa and Altis, so it is not a mod issue. After this update Arma 3 is almost unplayable, because instead of green trees I see white trees flashing constantly or sometimes no trees at all. you see those white spots where trees supposed to be? They are flashing in and out 4-5 times per second. I doubt it is my GPU issue, since I haven't had such thing before, well not so big at least and it was not ever lasting.

Nice to hear that (not having graphical issues), stuttering is experienced by myself too. Not too much, but quite bigger compared to Altis. Then again, I play on a potatoe and have only 4GB of RAM which is quite noticeable. What's your CPU model and how much RAM you have?

Yes. But only after I re-downloaded and installed older Crimson version and disabled the updates. When I first tried, I downloaded the newest version, however it instantly changed my arma 3 resolution to some obscure nonsense of 1700x1100 or something, had to change it manually back to 1920x1080, then I noticed some errors and windows desktop manager stopping working each time I reboot my PC and I had Windows 7 permanently in SAFE MODE. Graphical issues were fixed ingame though but not despite noticeable FPS drop. So next day I re-downloaded Crimson 16.3.2 version (the old one) and everything is back to normal now. Should have tried that initially, because once again I learn, newest software is usually worse software in many ways.

Thank you all! Will try reboot first. Yes i have amd 7770 gpu forgot to mention. Thanks again.

didn't know you were a troll, I am kinda new in these forums, just come by now and then. Once in a while.

when I first saw Altis and saw that building have no furniture I thought that's disgusting why devs didn't create beds and tables at least? Or something? Well then I tried original Chernarus and noticed that pretty much all buildings are closed completely. After a while I got used to Altis empty interiors, furniture would get in a way actually especially with the Arma 3 engine where your character gets stuck easily in stairs even or doors. Or walls. So I hope that Tanoa will have at least 30 percent of enterable buildings. Otherwise it's just pretty empty map. I like the nature of it, but being able to hide inside is what makes it realistic and actually quite moddable map/game. Even Kavala hospital, while partially enterable doesn't seem empty completely and it is a good thing. They should do more buildings in Tanoa like with Kavala hospital, or those office buildings in Altis. Partially enterable to hide from danger. Of course it is all to save FPS, but Altis is way bigger map and runs just fine. Well it doesn't have as many trees as Tanoa. At least Altis is not as dense in trees if you know what I mean, so maybe that's the reason.

95 percent of arma 3 players do not even know Arma 3 has a campaign! Relax.

in real world car light beam extends only 1 meter in front of you? Gimme a break. Stop bullshiting if you have no idea what you are talking about. Unless you were joking, of course.

that's pretty fantastic art right there!

into a trash it goes...

lightning now is useless and it is the worst thing that happened after this new update. What's the point of driving car with lights on if they extend only 1 meter in front of you? You either drive at 5km/h or just use NVG. Very poor decision, nobody cared about shadows anyway for 3 years. Instead of improving light they made it look like in some indie horror game were flashlight on purpose has a beam of 10 centimeters to make it spookier. Woooo..boooo..

the explain how they spot a player which just stood up from behind the cover while they are running away and instantly turn around 180 degrees and manage to quick aim? Been in this situation so many times that I find it weird that some people still do not know about it. It is only possible if they have 360 view. It may not trigger all time, but it always triggers if you behind AI backs and try to aim at them. They suddenly turn around and head shot you.

more like 360 vision. I have been spotted by AI multiple times when I stand up from cover when they walk away from me facing their backs to me (and 300 away from me!), and then instantly turn around, fast-aim and head shot me. If this is "good AI" that fanboys of arma 3 keep telling me then I don't know how to convince them otherwise. Such people are true believers, no facts could convince them that AI suck and playing against AI is pain in the ass. And I am sure turning everything on low could "dumb them down" but then again you lose other AI features that makes them good AI, so unless there is some feature which disables specifically 360 degree vision and X-Ray vision and ultra-sound echolocation, playing against them is no different than jumping in DayZ Crazy Russia server and expecting fair fights.

June 2016 is too close to Q3.... :(

Tell me I am dreaming or not: did our blessed developers mess with Lynx sound or not? Because to me it sounded differently and I am not sure if it is because how long ago I used this gun (months) or was it updated in Eden patch?

Been playing KoTH lately and noticed that shots from 500 meters away sound as if they are at least 1k away if not more. Even closer sounds have too much reverb on them. And font, I can't say anything good about it. It's too bold and too dense (1920x1080p 21inch monitor here).

the only good advice. And same can be said about killing other players in games too, not just against AI. Seen many people sniping for instance at someone from 2km away and then waiting 5 seconds to see where their shots landed, complain that they could not see them or that their shots landed above even when they had correct zeroing. If I snipe someone I do not wait to see if a person will die or not, I fire at least 2 more shots at him with slightly different angle, 1st shot usually straight at the body center, 1 shot above a little and 1 bellow. And my chances increases almost to 100 percent. Also I do not give time for enemy to react this way and start moving or stand up and run etc. It is exactly the same in closer combat ranges too. Because screw desync and arma 3 physics, sometimes 1 shot is not enough to kill even with Lynx and this time frame is enough for AI (especially AI) to react and start running away. They have cat's reflexes.

hahaha oh wow. Do you even arma??? AI optics makes absolutely no difference in how fast or hard they spot you! Get on with the times, it's Arma 3 AI, they see through everything even developers said that somewhere (won't bother to look specific video or topic). Facts: AI can shoot with iron sights up to 500m or sometimes more no problem and headshot you. And I am speaking from personal experience too. Did a mission, killed AI, died to them twice while sniping at 1000 m range yet when I looted bodies all I saw was ACO optics. Yeah, optics really make such difference for AI :D It doesn't.

Funny. most people, I suspect who complain about the price of expansion have 99 games in their inventory on steam and 95 have probably never even been installed or have less than 1 hour of playtime :D people spend money left and right on shitty games and can't afford the expansion of a single ultimate game? Next month they will be buying overpriced crap because "it's mainstream" and their friends bought it so they go with the flow and then forget about it after 20 hours then come back to arma 3 :) Or not. It is just typical cry for discount because they want to use remaining money on shitty fallout 4, gta 5, batman, mad max, xcom or some other bullshit game.

It's just perfect guys! Why argue, bratwurste is right! Perfect, I see no flinching!

Arma 3 AI is literally hackers, seeing through walls, seeing over fences and flanking you even when you were never exposed to them in a first place. How they know which direction to flank you if they did not even see you? Yeah, wall hacks. That's why I prefer playing against people. There has to be line of sight for them to see you and they actually have to be LOOKING in your direction to gain any information on where you are. AI does not need that, it just flanks you anyway because walls and structures do not exist to AI. And hiding behind structures and shooting makes no difference to AI. They try to kill you even when you fully covered protected inside building so imagine if you expose 1 inch of your body (aka some edgy stance) and they see half of your body and will still one shot you in the head. It makes for you harder to hit them actually, not for AI.

you saved me! Wow I was scared and screwed up something since it had 3 options to redeem (why?) one of them was "redeem to this account" (which is "this?" why such ambiguity lol) and another was "redeem to steam", so I chose the latter and then didn't see Apex on steam so kinda freaked out. So as I understand, I will see it in My Games on steam only when Apex will be released, correct?

or they could change give us option to disable it and go back to legacy and then they can keep tweaking and fixing their nexus sway all they want. I do not care. You can't expect them to fix something they intended to put in a first place. They can not satisfy both sides - hardcore muh realism kids who never held a gun in their hands and normal arma 3 players who just want to have fun.

you need to leave your house and see real world. Not everybody here plays real life simulator. And you probably haven't even held a gun in your life since there are people who were soldiers and even they say the sway is retarded. P.S. and after all that said, it does not translate to a game at all. You can not have "realism" on a computer monitor. Kids, get a life, really. You want realism so much - go joing the military. I want some fun in front of computer screen and not try to counter-balance stupid sway everytime I move 5 meters.

you little kid go back to school.
