Respect is what you need to earn and nothing you get for free.....and espacially nothing you get for being ignorant to your customer. Edit: To clear this out a bit more: BIS wouldn't be where they are now if they hadn't the hardcore fan base. Thats a fact and nobody can deny it! "We" excused so much issues and deficencies over the years and continued to buy their games and most of the fans even the DLC's. We said so many times, hey...they will change their minds and behaviour and going to fix it. But not. They dont give a damn fuck on the hard fan base that supported the games for over 13 years now. They're going to straight piss them in their faces and call it a feature. No wonder that some of the highest skilled modders stop their work now. Some excellent websites have been shutdown already. Where is ACE3? Where is SLX? Where is PMC? Where is AMS? See...thats what I mean...and those are only some few mods/sites with their devs turning their back on BIS. And when the casual gamer stop playing their buggy shit and EA or another big publisher is bring out a similar game with less bugs and more nice graphics...BIS can close their doors. Because the hard fan base is gone. The gaming industry is not shrinking..its still growing. Some of the players are kind of "guilty" aswell. All those Altis life and DayZ Mod player killing this game too. (not really guilty...but one factor) But thats the point where the Devs/Management have to choose...pleasure some casual gamers that dont care BIS and go away after some time....or caring the fan base that wants to stay with ArmA and BIS and not play it only casual. Sorry...due to my english skills I cannot express myself the way I like..but I think and hope you understand me..

You guys are funny^^ I talk about 17-24 fps during regular gameplay...and 1-3 fps during the drops^^ (But I talk about MP - where the server calculates the AI...so thats what Im personal wondering why my fps drops so dramatically from >50fps on an empty map down to sometimes 10fps if the AI is just on the map (even it is on the other side of the map) - the hard fps drops came from some vehicles shooting and hitting the ground. Very easy to reproduce aswell - as long as you dont drunk too much Vodka^^ But hey...your fps drops after a while just for walking on an empty map...doing nothing..just walking. So Im not really wondering why performance is such a big thing again in Alpha 3. Just read the changelog of the last stable patch and you get an idea why there will be no fixes and improvements of the mos important things ;) I give you a hint: Added: New sound for church organs Any more questions? :D Wrong question...should be "Why do you guys care more about Steam archievements and useless content instead of fix bugs which were reported many month (sometimes 13 years) ago?"

I cant name the reported bugs right now, without taking a look into the bug tracker. But there are certain serious bugs/issues reported many month ago and still not resolved. But you guys have time to add more content and fix silly bugs/issues that nobody cares about. For example the color of the fishing nets. Beside that there are bugs that are in since 2001 from OFP. 13 years and no fixes. Before you spend 500.000 $ or € for a contest you better should spend the money for more devs. There are many very good modders turning the back on BI already coz of your (not ur personal maybe..but the company BIS) ignorant bevahiour to fix the most important issues before developing more content or functions that brings more bugs or difficulties to bug fixing. You wonder why Im rude? Because I spend money for 13 years now for products which every single of them didnt pass a quality that other developer (if that would be their software) would call a beta. Hardly a beta. A very much buggy beta.... I dont know who exactly is responsible for that. But it pisses me off. Then I read someone who paid the game and wants to play shall now record a video, make a detailed repro and so on. It is not his job. He paid for the product...not for doing your job. You also have to keep in mind that many players buy hardware just in the hope to have better performance..and will be dissapointed. So it is not only ~45€ that many customer paid. Not rarely people spend hundreds of Euro just to play this game...and you slap them with your actions...or better call it inaction. Edit: Again..Im talking to the company BI if I say you...but you are one of the devs..so..in some point of view I taalk also to you.

Such issue would need qualified Devs to solve. Are you serious? Do your job, we paid you already. Damn it...we are not your testers team. You got the hint - now go and check it yourself. Its easy to reproduce...as most of the reported bugs and issues. Only problem is that you dont care or listen to your customer... And for what a detailed report if you continue to ignore it? Unbelievable....

I got a question..maybe Im just blind or missunderstanding something. I want to limit the numbers of Respawns to 1 if the whole group is down. But I want infinite (or at least a high number) of revives. As what I understand it the number of lives = both...respawns AND revives. Please give me an advice...I feel real stupid right now :D

Nice to hear that. Hope you will release at least the DAC soon^^ (Cant wait to build missions with it again :) )

>>>Fixed: CTD when a rabbit opens a vehicle’s inventory<<< Yeah...sure...Im in deep love and have full trust in BI's capability to make A3 a bug free game with an awesome AI. I mean...even the rabbits are so f**ing smart that they can open a vehicles Inventory and build an ICBM in the cargo bay of the vehicle Edit: Btw...you're wrong. The number of GOOD modder is decreasing. A lot of the high skilled modder that brought a lot of high quality mods during the past 12-13 years are turning the back towards BI because of that bullshit they're doing with us.

What the F**K is going on?! I had the same issue now on a friends PC. He could not host a non-dedicated server anymore. Same problem as described by the TS. We deleted ArmA, we used CCleaner to delete any logs, temp files etc. Set the firewall, Avira Antivir and so on, an exception. Nothing helped. Almost 4 hours we tried almost everything except reinstall windows. We then saw this thread, when I want to open a thread about this issue. Unsubscribed the missions he downloaded via Steam Workshop - it runs again "perfect" (as far as you can call Alpha 3 running perfect) :mad: P.s.: IM really happy there is Teamviewer...he would never ever figure out that shit...espacially as he not speaks english...

I'm dissapointed too. 13 Years long I bought almost everything from BI. I bought OFP 2-3 times because of CD scratches. I bought A3 only because my very blind squad mates told me there were no bugs anymore. Hahaha...so very blind I tell you^^ I did'nt play it for only 1 hour and saw the same fucked up bugs in A3 like in OFP in 2001. Not to mention the crap FPS. I run A2+OA on Ultra High with >25fps. I run A3 on lowest settings (@1920x1080...but lower resolution is no option with my FullHD LCD) and Im happy if I scratch 20fps. Im not allowed to tell BI devs (the Spanel brothers) what I want to tell...(forum rules^^) So I say it in the most harmless words I can tell...I'm very dissapointed by you BI! I wish you go insolvency! Edit: And to all you blind fanboys: Please shut up and just spend all your money to BI...but please...just shut up..

Any news on that? Maybe I overread something...didn't tested it yet.

Short question: With the new FCS for tanks...is it planned to add a "commander override mode" in the future? Would be nice:)

Thanks! Way faster then Kelly's Heroes :) (Their Server is not up to date, yet) And thanks to ACE Mod Team for this great Addon. :)

I guess Morphicon have better translator then me...did I have something to add?:D Nice to hear.

Nagging Duke is back and asking for...you know..:404:

I found a bug with GL4+ACE2 Mod. When you use GL4+ACE2 (actual&previous versions) and use a sniper rifle, like DMR (crouching and weapon is resting on the ground) you will get hurt and start bleeding when shooting. Sometimes after a few shots, sometimes after the first shot. Tested with Vanilla ArmA2, ArmA2+GL4, ArmA2+ACE2 and ARMA2+GL4+ACE2. Only the combination of ArmA2+GL4+ACE2 cause this issue. They (ACE dudes) told me to report it to you, SNKMAN. I also had this issue with the Tac.50 or M107/109 - not sure...one of this definite(it's a bit ago in a previous build of ace2)...and of course the DMR. If you like I can upload a video. - No other Mods are used, for sure.(double checked to be sure) It's annoying x2 because you cannot use the ACE Medic system to heal. You can use "First Aid" - but you'e still hurt and moaning. Edit: Test Mission: Testeo.Utes.rar Video: Ace2+GL4_Bug.wmv

I have a question Silola. Is it possible with the new version that you can make the (multiplayer) mission scalable via DAC? Example: If you play with 3 player, there are 10 groups on patrol. If you play with 10 player, there are 30 groups on patrol. The amount of groups that are activated depends on the amount of (human) player plays the mission. Possible or may already implemented? You know what I mean? Because it is always hard when you have a mission which is designed for 10 player and then you want to play it with only 2 player and it is too hard and you have to edit the mission first. Or the other way around. You have a mission which is designed for 2 player and you want to play it with 10 player and it is too easy and you have to edit it and add units/groups. :)

HI. Now I report a BUG since OFP: When a human player is in a tank as driver (like Abrams or T-72 or some other Main Battle Tank) the AI won't fire the maingun without any human command. You have to press left mouse button (or what else you have the "fire" button designated to) to let the ai fire. THIS IS F*** UP!!!:mad: Because, when you are the driver, you CANNOT know what the gunner are aiming at and you also do not know if the gunner have LOS (Line Of Sight) to the/a target! I know they fire the MG against infantrie and also smoke(sometimes:)), but not the Maingun! The commander have to priorize what target should be aimed and the commander should have to give the fire command. Even the commander is AI. And not the (human) driver! And please do not tell me that this is a feature....it is not! It is crap! SO BIS, WHY IS THIS DAMN BUG NOT FIXED SINCE OFP? PLEASE FIX IT!!!! Or tell me the confg entry whatever so I can fix it myself an make another community fix addon for a good known and never fixed bug:rolleyes: And sorry my english...I hope it is clear what I mean. Otherwise I can write in german...;) @Moderator: I didn't see that there is a thread for content bugs in the (hardware/driver) Troubleshooting Forum. ;)

Didn't you guys get it? I talk about being in a tank as a driver, not a commander.:rolleyes: When I'm in a tank as the commander, everything is fine;) And you do not need strg+f or strg+leftmouse button. Simply pressing F or LMB is enough;)

Oh dude...you know that I mean driver:rolleyes:

@NoRailgunner: Why should I test your test pattern? Makes no sense to me.:confused: What I do: I place an enemy tank. I place an friendly tank with me as driver, but leader of the group. Result: AI is not firing maingun. When I entering a warfare(same behaviour goes for any else Mission as Groupleader): I buy a tank (M1A1 or T-72 or what ever MBT) with crew. I enter the tank as driver. Result: AI does not fire maingun. SURE, they do when I order them (Fire-button). But they MUST do it autonom;)

Leader of the group = Leader of the group :) Commander of the Tank = Commander of the Tank :) But Leader of the group != Commander of the Tank :nono:

Yes yes yes:) Was too lazy to write in english:rolleyes: Told him the same in german;)
