  1. Thanks for the advices guys but I'm still unable to get into the KOTH Spearhead multiplayer server and am pouting and sulking like crazy.

    Here are some screenshots that might offer some clues, do they mean anything to you?

     

    PIC 1- the Spearhead DLC is loaded-

    PIC 2- And the  IFA3 A10  mod is loaded-

    PIC 3- And although the 6 KOTH servers show up including Spearhead, I can get into the other 5 but not Spearhead-

    PIC 4- These are the type of messages I get whenever I try to get into the Spearhead server-

  2. I've found from experience that it's a 'butterfly's wing" thing, and if one video setting is out of harmony with the rest it can make your PC groan and creak.  

    In the ingame Config Video settings, try clicking 'Auto-Detect' to let your PC decide what settings it feels comfortable with; that'll give you a streamlined uncluttered base line and you can do some trial-and-error tweaking from there.

     


  3. I had the same trouble when I recently installed Arma 3 on my new PC but it was easily fixed, see if this helps-

     

    My old screenname "Mick" came up, so I had to click (yellow circle), then click on the name panel-

    If you click 'New' to create a new player (Player 1) you can change his name to whatever name you want to play under-

    Click on whatever name is showing and you'll get the option to switch to another name or create a new name.

    PS- Although I never use 'Mick' I'm not going to delete it in case it holds basic account details and stuff-

  4. Thanks mate, and BTW I hang on the Code4Gaming KOTH 1944 EU#1 server a lot, it's got loads of WW2 stuff in it, and it cycles through the maps Poland, Ardennes, Greece, Normandy, Tobruk and Alamein, say hello if we bump into each other and I'll buy us a tank or something, you be gunner and i'll drive and set you up for good shots, I know all the sweet spots on the maps..:)

    PS- same goes for all other Bohemia forum members, say hello and we'll rock n' roll..:) 


  5. Over the past month or so whenever I fire a rifle, all the other sounds (engine noise and nearby small arms fire etc) fades out for a few seconds before slowly coming back to normal volume, and it means I'm briefly deaf after firing my weapon.

    It hadn't used to fade out like that, so why has it suddenly started happening?

    I've tried dabbling with the sound options but no joy, do you think it's my speakers or sound card at fault or what?

    King of the Hill is by far my most favorite multiplayer gamemode, I just think it gives what a lot of the others fail to provide; and that is quick, basic, military styled, dynamic action combat.

     

     

    Yes, in KOTH we can just jump straight in and do our own thing without anybody telling us what to do..:)

    So you mean that the major part of the servers are Infantrys because "tanks are op"?

     

    What's "op"?

    All I know is that on the KOTH servers you can't buy tanks at all if there aren't a lot of players on the server, so most of the time you have to play as an infantryman.

    I've posted about it in the C4G forum and even offered to pay for a new server in which tanks are as easy to get as a pack of chewing gum, but so far I've had no takers.


  8. Dunno about other servers, but in KOTH multiplayer, if you fire a shoulder-launched Titan ATGM at a locked-on tank the tank will detect the launch and will pop smoke causing the missile to lose its lock and slam into the ground well short of the target.

    Tip for missilemen -  fire UNLOCKED and the missile will fly down the crosshairs, and the tank usually won't know its coming and be toasted..:)

    Livonia. The feeling is so familiar, all this terrain, colors, even the weather setup feels like Poland. It's like I play in my backyard. I can't find any other game on a market now, that would give my this..

     

    Yes the Livonia map is beautiful rolling countryside with rivers and factories, it's so good it's almost photo-realistic..:)

    There's been a King of the Hill Livonia server up for a few weeks and I go in sometimes  but there's usually not many people in there because they haven't got the Contact DLC, so I've got the whole country of Livonia to myself and a few friends..:)

  10. Hi, I've logged about 4000 hours on the KOTH servers over the past few years, they're very good but not perfect.

    For example they're biased against tanks (hard to get) and I get fed up having to play as a grunt most of the time.

    After all, tanks were invented to make war more fun..:)
