I'm getting exactly the same thing!

I managed to get in the first round this morning, I was wearing my clan tags of [uNA] Owl. Having played BIS games since 2002 It was really cool playing with you guys, thanks for the opportunity. I got a bit of video footage, hopefully I'll get it on youtube later.

Yep I think it's great, reminds me a lot of Ofp/Resistance campaign, which imo is the best single player campaign of any game out there. Really good work guys, can't wait till episode two.

Just noticed this, I take it Wikipedia is wrong and A3 is still CPU only PhysX?

Just start the game go to > play > multiplayer > new > change from LAN to Internet > set password if you want. Then your friend just needs to filter for your PC name or you can invite him.

So I'm experiencing this really frustrating bug, where my FOV seems to shift upwards. Now I had this with the early Alphas, but it seemed to be fixed in the very last Alpha before the Beta was released, now on Beta it's back with a vengeance. This appears to be totally random, apart from I only get it when I'm on dedicated servers with other players on. I have had it at the start of games, but more often than not it just seems to happen during normal play. So I can be playing normally go to use my rifle and yea it's almost impossible to play. I uploaded a video to hopefully explain a little better. Once this has happened I can fix it by entering the menu and selecting one of the options, for instance "controls". There is one bug reported in the Feedback Tracker, that while it's similar it's not identical 4009. I have added my bug to that but I'm wondering if I should report this as a separate event, what do you guys think? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSUNA7P9OjY

What does that do? ---------- Post added at 21:25 ---------- Previous post was at 20:49 ---------- I appreciate you trying to help but I think you are way off track, besides as default the F keys are for selecting Units under your command. This is not due to "free look" if that's what you are implying. I can be playing normally with the FOV centred as normal, then all of a sudden for no apparent reason the centre of my FOV will shift upwards.

Reset what exactly, did you actually watch the video?

It's right how it is, you are not checking the map with your gun raised, so it makes sense when you close the map that the weapon will be lowered. Also as already been mentioned it helps to prevent accidents.

I find it hard to believe people will be persuaded to buy this game just because they include achievements/stat tracking etc. As for people wandering doing their own thing, that happens anyway in arma2, there's always been rambos and lone wolfs.

Yet calling someone a liar with no evidence is fine, seriously :a:

For COOP no For PvP yep

How nice of Gabe to allow me to do something I'm legally supposed to be allowed to do (in Europe anyway)

I also would like more information about running dedicated servers, are we going to have to run Steam software on the servers as well, and what else if anything is going to change with regards to running a dedi?

I like Steam and have a lot of games on there, but I don't use it for ArmA2. I have a slight concern about how this will affect running a dedicated server. At the moment myself and the clan I'm in have a great deal of control over how we operate our ARmA2 servers, I wonder if this is going to change with the interaction of Steam?

The country field is fine, it's the state dropdown that needs some work, there's Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland but no England.

I know it's early days yet, and I'm not complaining this is just some feedback. I managed to create my BIPofile, I was already using the same email for the store and forums. However it would not allow me to use my store password, my forum password worked okay though. On checking my "Account information" I noticed that my State was set to Enna for some reason. That's wrong so I tried to change it, but the States dropdown menu is pretty messed up. It seems to be a random mixture of countries and states and not in alphabetical order. There was no suitable state I could use so I have left that for the moment. One last thing, I expected that once logged into my profile I would be automatically logged into the forums as well but that does not seem to be the case.

Maybe the "upcoming migration" bit is why it's not working yet.

It's been a long time since I had ArmA installed but with ArmA2 goto Documents > ArmA2 or ArmA2 Other Profiles > Select user Name > Open the Profile file in a text editor. (With ArmA they might be in the app data folder I can't remember) Now scroll down until you find the key bindings they will look something like this There will be a lot of them, select them all and save in a new text document somewhere. You could save the whole Profile but if you are installing on new hardware then you probably want the other settings to be automatically set at first. Once you have installed the game find the Profile and paste in the saved key bindings over the default ones. After that you can save the whole Profile for later use.

Arma2 already has dogs. edit; look under "ambient life" in the editor

Change the default face

Nice answer, I do appreciate that due to the popularity of certain social networks it is almost unavoidable for companies to make use of the access they can give to the user base. I just don't like the way it was the first thing I saw when booting up the game, like I said it just seemed a little tacky. Maybe adding these features in the menu system would be a cleaner way of doing it.

I was really disappointed when I installed TOH and started it up to see advertising for Facebook. I don't expect to find advertising inside software that is paid for, I think it looks cheap and tacky and to be honest I'm sick of seeing FB everywhere. So can I expect the same in ArmA3? I hope not, BI your my favourite developer but I hope this is not going to be the future.

Christmas :|

I had this earlier too. I was chasing an enemy carrier in a Manta and the view just switched to a camera type mode.
