I've got a similar problem (see gerasmus post) under linux mint 18 :(. The game always starts, but crashes to desktop when launching a mission or trying a mission project in editor. Edit: found out the solution: turning off shadows :) Maybe it's only because I use an AMD radeon (tahiti)

Dear Toadie, Thanks a lot for all these excellent weapons, especially for the Stgw57, which reminds me compulsory military service ;) By the way, I saw two pictures on Armaholic web site showing a soldier wearing taz83-type swiss army camo (http://www.armaholic.com/datas/users/hlc-sig-sg510s-version-10-2_4.jpg). Do you intend to release this soldier/camo to the public (needless to say, I'm very interested in it to play with the stgw57)? Thanks again and best regards!

I'm looking forward to the russians. Next release maybe? Thanks a lot for your work!

Congratulations for porting A2 treasures to A3. I'm looking forward to the russian infantry :)

I hope Sudden keeps working on his great mod. I love the 80's era...

Hello Troy, Thank you for your interesting answer and for clarifying the information. If someday the company changes its mind about it, I will certainly buy a personal edition, as many others surely will do. Regards, Schroeder

"Other possibilities", what do you mean? Is there a way to buy a licence for VBS3 without being part of military or academics (sorry if I misunderstood your post, but I'm very interested in such a matter)?

Champaigne! At last, I can play Arma 3 the way I like it, with credible units! Thanks a lot to the RHS Team :D

It still makes me happy as well. Thanks again for this great summer addon :D

So am I. Does anyone know what it means, and how to fix it?

Looking forward to this really promising russian-power addon!!! :bounce3: By the way, I've got some knowledge about config and O2 (I worked some time on the swiss-mod for A2 before I lost contact with the mod leader :()

Stunning indeed. Looking forward to this great blackarma :D Hello, I hope everything's fine, I couldn't reach your page 'blackarms.de' for a month or so. Well, I guess it's dead! Too bad indeed, because it gave really good performance with A2.

Of course, this new game seems better in every respects, no doubt about this. I can't wait buying it. Regarding weapons and equipement, BIS might well keep some older weapons for old-timers like me as you say :p, cross your fingers and thanks for reminding me this :).

Sure they are entiteled to do so. Sure this modern material isn't really sci-fi (just a manner of speaking). I'm just a bit old-fashioned I guess :o

The new game seems very promising, however I'm a bit disapointed by the vehicles and weapons shown, much too sci-fi-like :(. Indeed, I'm a huge fan of today's arsenal, such as M1, T80, Leclerc, Leopard 2, Mi-24, M4, G36, Famas, etc. Without these, it won't be the same. I think I'm still in the good old OFP spirit in this respect :p Furthermore, the last two weeks made me think of some kind of 70's cold war scenario, which would have been so cool... :(

Isn't it rather a new campaign with a confidential (for now) new plot?

Oh yes, such a great map indeed, can't wait for the first release :bounce3:

Can't find the Stgw-57 I've been looking for since I've read this thread http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=49803&highlight=vilaspacks (last post), although I got both vilaspacks... Forget it, I just found it, sorry for the useless post...

Yes thank you sooooooooooooooooo much, just great, yeepee :bounce3:

Same problem of stuttering for me with 1.55 patch (C2D E6850 3 Ghz, 2x2 GB DDR2, Radeon 6870, at 1920x1020, everything on normal except shadows [very high] and postprocessing [disabled]). Gonna try A2 1.08 without OA... Edit: well, it works quite well with A2 1.08 (without OA), fps between 20-25 fps for the same mission. I hardly believe these numerous posts about OA being such a better software than A2: as far as performance is concerned, A2 works better on my PC.

Thanks for your postings :) Indeed I missed the kju LandTex post... By the way Beton, I'm looking forward to the improved version of the summervegetation :bounce3: Is it available soon (weeks, months)? Does it include modifications of the satellite map?

Thanks for this great addon, I don't like autumn and I'm truly happy to play on "Summer-Chernarus". About this autumn-style ground texture we see at distance, isn't it possible to change the colors of the satellite map with photoshop (or any software of this kind) to make it greener? At least for those, like me, who changed the paa files in game rather than used pbo files to get summer plants? I guess it's not, otherwise it would be done already. I'd be happy to do it if it's so easy :p

I think birtuma is right. It was about the same with Armed Assault, which ran fine when I upgraded from a C2D 2Ghz+8800gt (normal, 2000m) to C2D 3Ghz+4890 (very high, 5000m). I thought C2D 3Ghz+6870 would be enough for A2... :(

Hi, I just bought an HIS 6870 a few days ago, because I've read here and there that the improvement was huge (for instance http://www.hardware.fr/articles/804-11/dossier-amd-radeon-hd-6870-6850.html, which reports 17FPS for a 5770 or 5830 vs 32FPS for a 6780 @ 1920x1200 AA8x). Indeed it runs quite well, better actually than the XFX 4890 I used before. However, the difference isn't that huge: when playing in the main city on Zargabad island, I can notice a slight improvement (high textures and complex models appear faster when I turn around, between 1-2 sec instead of 2-4 sec). But there still are some slowdowns when playing downtown with a Mi-24, a tank and three infantry groups for example. The BIS A2 benchmark missions show 30FPS and 15FPS with the 6870, instead of 28FPS and 12FPS with the 4890... My config and settings: Core2Duo Conroe E6850 @ 3GHz (FSB 1333) ASRock G43ME 2x2Gb DDR2 800 MHz HIS 6870 1GB View distance: 3000m at 1440x900 Texture detail: high Video memory: very high Anisotropic filtering: high Antialiasing: high Terrain detail: high Objects detail: very high Shadow detail: very high Postprocess effects: disabled Was it worth buying this new card? At east, it's not as expensive as the 5870 :p Thanks BIS for this really great game (and for OFP and A1 which I played when I was younger )

Excellent, thanks a lot!!!
