Does anyone else hear it like the footstep sound is about a meter behind you in-game? I constantly look over my shoulder to check for enemies, but its just my own footsteps I hear. :868:

Download incomming! :-)

Is there a way to bind the "Engine on" menu entry to a joystick/joypad button? I cant find it in the list of bindable commands? And it really kills the emersion when I have to scroll through the menu to turn on a helicopter.

Hi Guys Who is going to build the PL-01 tank for us including the infrared camoflage system? :-) Polands Stealthy PL-01 It would fit right in to Arma 3 :D

I wish they made it so that we could write java plugins and include them in the mission packages, that way we would be able to write our scripts in java or in SQF, and it wouldn't need any kind of special setup to run java enhanced missions.

BF3 and Arma are completely different AI wise, BF3 single player experience is kind of limited and in the Campaign, it seems the AI is kind of railed, so I dont think its a fair comparison

Arma 3 is multithreaded it uses up to 7 threads, the problem is the comunication between the threads and memory allocations for the individual threads. and it isn't a easy problem to solve.

I don't see any multi-gpu scaling issues on my setup I created a profile for Arma 3 set the Crossfire profile to "Optimize 1x1" and now both my HD 6970 are utilized up to 99% and the framerate is beetween 30 to 90 FPS. I'm running with a Core i7 3770k @4.2Ghz I do see multithreading issues, but I think its caused by the memory allocator. I see a big difference in framerate across the different memory allocators included with the Alpha, when I have a 100 vs 100 AI battle running. So I hope BIS is going to upgrade the TBB4 memory allocator to the latest version Intel released in feburary, at least it couldn't hurt to try it out and see if it brings any performance improvements.

Hi Guys I was just playing a bit and went inside a house I was kind of surprised to see a snake inside so I followed the snake trough the house and saw it opening a door and crawl outside. I didn't know snakes where that skilled!! :-) Here is a video showing a rabbit doing the same trick ( its the only wildlife available through the editor currently )

Wouldn't this approach give problems with how texures and grass are is the game right now, eg. in the distance you dont see the grass you only see the ground texture so using the grass texture for as the overlay on the soldier wouldn't fix the problem. or would you greate the alpha layer based on the grass and then render the ground texture instead of the grass onto the soldier?

I think I found the best settings for crossfire or at least they work great for my two Radeon HD 6970 cards. By creating a 3D profile for arma3.exe inside CCC and set the CrossFireX option to Optimize 1x1 Fire up your game and disable vsync ingame to get the best possible FPS When you load your first mission you are going to see a bit of texture issues but they go away within a few seconds. on my system the FPS is between 50 and 90 depending on the scene, when the game is't limited by CPU. MSI Afterburner shows that both GPU's are utilized up to 90% with 10 AI squads fighting on the airfield, the FPS drops to around 30 FPS on a Core i7 3770k running @ 3.9Ghz I can see that the game is utilizing one CPU core 95% and the other cores around 20% and utilization on the GPU's drop to around 40%. I'm currently using the settings below ingame: BASIC DISPLAY MODE: Fullscreen RESOLUTION: 1920x1080 VISIBILITY OVERALL : 3500 OBJECT: 1962 SHADOW: 150 RENDERING RENDERING RES: 1920x1080 HDR QUALITY: Standard VSYNC: Disabled ANISOTROPIC FILTERING: Ultra ANTIALIAZING ANTIALIAZING: 8x PIP: High DYNAMIC LIGHTS: Ultra PPAA: SMAA High ATOC: All trees + grass POSTPROCESSING QUALITY: Very High QUALITY TEXTURE: Ultra OBJECTS: High TERRAIN: High CLOUD: High SHADOW: High PARTICLES: Very High Hope it helps :-)

I'm not a c/c++ developer but if there are any out there could they try creating a malloc implementation with the latest version from http://threadingbuildingblocks.org/ I can see that they released an update February 7, 2013 I dont know if the update brings any major performance gains. I'm currently using -malloc=TCMalloc_bi as I think it performs the best. -malloc=TBB4Malloc_bi is good as well, so it could be fun to compare the current version we have with the updated version :-)

Have you tried opening up task manager while running the game, if you can see a single core maxed out most of the time while running the game, you are CPU limited instead of GPU limited :-)

I would recommend MSI Afterburner, it can be used for most Nvidia and ATI cards and is great at showing the FPS and other stats about you GPU's ingame, and it's able to record videos that are much smaller than FRAPS

try creating a SLI profile for the game, you are only running on a single GPU if you get that kind of performance

I first spotted it with a snake during a mission, I would guess that snake was placed with the wildlife module and that it was a 'agent' type of AI. Now I will have to try adding weapons to the rabbit to see if we can create a Monty Python type of Killer Rabbit :-P

If I know BIS right, then they will include a bunch of weapons, so all the "I WANT REALISM" guys will be satisfied aswell, and if the screens we have seen are some of the most futuristic stuff we will see ingame, than I dont see it as far fetched. I really hope they will put some focus into other NATO forces, so we can get some of all the nice european gear into the base game aswell :-) I cant wait to try out the scuba gear and the submarine! ;-)

I think there is a bug in the move forward animation when prone. when you are in prone position, and start moving forward, the gun you are holding, flips out to the right side af the player, before going to the correct position, it only takes about 100ms, the easiest way to see the problem is to press the forward button repeatently. anybody else see this issue?

It could also be something like not running the installer as administrator if your running vista or 7

Hi Guys I just created a simple skeet shooting sample mission based on the skeet shooting script used in the armory and in the campaign. Hope some of you out there can use it. I will see if I can get the time to create a multiplayer skeet shooting range but for now you can have the sample mission. DOWNLOAD SAMPLE MISSION enjoy! :) Place the pbo in missions in you ArmA 2 Directory. If you also want to edit the mission place the other folder inside the missions folder in you ArmA 2 direcory in 'My Documents'. When you are inside the mission you can shoot skeets buy using Radio Alpha and to see the score using Radio Bravo.

There is some nice features in the mod, I really like the deploy for weapons, gasmask and HuntIR, and the models look great! there are some small issues with the gasmask blocking you seeing the selected weapon and that sort of information in the corners. but thats minor stuff. Grats with a great beta release A.C.E MOD Team!

is it just me or do the AI hit and react really good in 1.04, I might call it a bit too good, dont like when I have a sniper, and shoot a single shot on a squad on 500+ meters, and they just turn round and fire rounds, without any kind of scanning the area. they just turn and fire their AK and are hitting within a few meters of me.

Did you remember to change the ammo on the MLRS or that could be the reason for point 3.

It could also be the patch that was damaged in someway, try to re downloading it.

I dont think the heat is any problem to the GPU, but for the memory cooled by the same cooler, a 85+ can give problems.
