    I'm still in a pickle, it began when I installed the Spearhead DLC, so I want to completely get rid of Spearhead from my system. I've deleted a bunch of SPE files but now can't get onto any of the other multiplayer servers at all ! Any advice?

    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-

    What are "accepted keys"?

    Look, this message about keys comes up when I try to play Spearhead 44 multiplayer-

    Made several tries to get into Discord without success. My Spearhead 44 issue seems to be related to something called 'Keys', any idea what they are? Look-

    Hi guys, PC dummy here; i bought and downloaded Spearhead 1944 yesterday and it plays fine in singleplayer mode, but when I try to log onto the KOTH 1944 multiplayer server this message prevents me getting in, any idea what it means?-

    Low FPS 2080TI

    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.

    WHY is this Profilename topic so complicted?

    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-

    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..:)

    Getting 3rd-person view

    Usually, Game Options > Difficulty > tick the '3rd person view' box will enable it (it did for me) but people sometimes say it doesn't fix it for them and they're still stuck in 1st-person. Anybody got any advice I can pass onto them?

    What's happened to my sound effects?

    I just found out its a well-known issue with Win 10 and Realtek audio, I had to click to disable "Enhancements" in the sound setup and that's improved it even more.

    What's happened to my sound effects?

    Thanks, yes a couple of mods might have had something to do with it, I've rummaged around in the settings and stuff and there seems to be some improvement touch wood..:)
  13. 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

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

    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.
