Couldn't have said it better myself. This is my whole point I've been saying about A3 all along. The fact that they keep releasing new dlc that no one has asked for speaks volumes. No need for me to carry on, Windies aid it best. I can assure you one thing, I'll never spend another penny with BI because of this. Laters!

It has to be the game's antiquated netcode. I can't believe why this isn't the number one priority of BI. Or, is it they know it can't be fixed because of a game engine that is a decade old? BF4 has no issues with this at all, as well as many other games. It's the proverbial 800lbs gorilla in the room IMHO.

I'd like to see it taken a step further and add a switch to turn off fatigue for people who don't want the ridiculous fatigue and weapon sway features.

agreed, they have made the fatigue system worse imo. It sucks because I really want to like this game, but as it stands, I can't and don't recommended it to any of my friends. The fatigue and gun sight swaying is an absolute game killer.

My problem is it starts the game and when I try to join a MP game, a box opens on the upper right saying BETA- blah, blah, blah... Then it says You were kicked from the game. Tried this numerous times. Amazing how bi add shit people don't want, VR battlefield, seriously?

I've mentioned this before and got ridiculed, but I thought you can't easily change\update the game engine?!?! Since Arma3 is using a 10 year old OFP engine, why not change it? Seems thats what dayz is doing. Hmm, wonder why they are just sticking with the old engine and waiting patiently for more optimizing fixes, like we have to with A3?

The fatigue system in Arma is a gamebreaker to me. I'll never fully enjoy or support A3 on this fact alone. I love how people throw around the term "IRL" alot. Well, let me share my IRL experience. Just went to the local range with a buddy a few days ago. Sitting there thinking of this very issue, I decide to test it, "IRL". I hold my breath for 30 seconds, no gun sway So I can hold an aim for days without any swaying whatsoever, so how does this feature make the game, not only fun, but real?

Nearly the exact same issue. My framerate has dropped substantially! Just slightly off subject, but directly related in my opinion, but why dick around with silly things like Zeus and not work on optimizing the damn game? I think they have hit a brick wall on the optimizing side of things and have simply given up.

I assumed Net Code would be the number 1 concern of the community seeing as it affects most of us. Get within 5ft of an enemy and my frame rate plummets and my aiming is like I'm dazed and can't hold my aim steady. This is not a simulation of anything in real life. It's simply bad decision to build a game on a 10 year old engine and thinking it will be ok to do so.

Take On: Hot Air Balloon

This is one of the best takes I've seen on the situation. Why doesn't BI acknowledge the game desperately needs a new engine? I've been a fan of this game since OFP and it's lacking the most important element of any game every made and thats: FUN. Arma simply isn't fun. Everyone will hate on me for this next statement, but I was at a buddy's house the other night and hes was playing BF4 and sure the game is overly sensationalized movie effect bullshit, but you know what else it was? Fun! We had a blast!

I agree with Jay here, it's not your rig or your settings mate, it's the game.

I have to agree with tentpeg as well. I don't even play the game anymore.

Well said. This is a huge factor for this game. Sadly enough, the game is dead before it ever had a chance.

This is what kills me about Arma and BI in general. This is the 800lb gorilla in the room. The game (Arma III) is made with an out dated engine. Would it really have been too much to ask to use a newer engine? Officially the beta ends tomorrow and I'm so NOT excited about it at all. Unbelievable!

Great question Giorgy, let's hope so. :cool:

It's the game bro. The net-code dates back to the Cold War in the late 1980's

After following this thread for some time, it seems that Arma III is doomed before it even gets going. I haven't followed the development of A3 since it's beginning, but I was under the impression that A3 was a new fresh game built from the ground up. I'm seriously disappointed that it's just better graphics on the same old tired (10 year old) OFP engine. In my opinion, this was an unwise move and seriously damaged my enthusiasm for the game.

LOL Yeah, gotta love 2 posts and both supporting iTV? Definitely a shill.

Anyone have any luck getting this installed on a Steam version of Arma2? I can get it to show up in the list, but when you click on it, it takes you back to the menu screen :(

I have the same problem here, I have no firewall, no antivirus software. Win XP FW is disabled, yet I STILL can't join servers. This games network code is a nightmare! A piss take!

I have the same problem as trad, and i don't have duo or dual core processor. I heard from some people that its a corrupt patch. I've tried various patches from different servers from all over the world, same problem. The stupid xdelta3 errors! Why is Bohemia treating this like the 800lb gorilla in the room and ignoring it? It's obviously a problem with the software and the patches, cause I have zero problems with any other game I play. I've also read that it's not just a small handful of people having this problem, but a sizable percentage of the community have this same xdelta3 problem. This is becoming a piss take!

Don't let the post count fool ya, i've been lurking for years, just don't post much.

Those screen shots are amazing! can't wait to see the finished product.

If you have the Euro version (505 Games) it should definitely be 1.04. So you'd need patch 1.04-1.05, THEN the 1.05-1.08 patch. The error problems your having is from a corrupted download. It seems that 90% of all the patches for ArmA are corrupted. I had this same problem, try downloading from Gamer's Hell. The patches there worked fine for me. God forbid BI address such as small concern as this <- sarcasm
