Still no possibility of 3D vision use. I see there is a vote on dev branch for them to implement it but I don't think they will. Please BI, ask Nvidia to help get this fixed. Still playing the game in flat 2D though and it is fantastic so +1 for Bohemia

I would change it or leave it at "Opt out of all betas". That way you will keep the most stable version. I changed mine from Betas which I've been playing for the last 2 months or so to "opt out" today because at the moment now Arma 3 has finally released there is no difference in either version.

I was using the Dev and its the same as stable. I can get 3d vision to start it's just like I said. Also using nvidia 314.14 drivers. I hope it could be a simple fix Bohemia could do.

Nothing but the sky and a few textures in the background show up with 3D vision enabled. All foreground polygons, i.e gun, arms, body, vehicles, buildings, grass, trees etc etc are light grey with no textures covering them. This is probably the way DX11 shows the textures from what I understand so it would need some work from BIS and Nvidia if possible.

I'm loving the already superb Alpha so keep up the good work BIS. After playing Arma 2 with a few issues for the last few years in NVidia 3D vision I was really hoping Arma 3 would be a better experience. After installing the Alpha on the first day of its release my hopes were dashed. The 3D in Arma 3 Alpha is probably the worst I have ever seen! I know it's still in Alpha but When 3D vision is activated all I can see are grey shadows without any textures covering them. It is DX11 too so no hope for the current Helix fixers on the Nvidia forums. The Arma series and Flashpoint (original) before that are my favourite series of all time and I really hope Bohemia Interactive could work with Nvidia on this as they are with PhysX. Arma + TrackIR + 3d vision = Perfection.

I still play Arma2 in stereo 3D, and it is true that the image can double up when looking down the sight but I have set a couple of NumPad buttons to instantly change the seperation and convergence amounts instantly. It's also possible to set it so when you press, ie, the right mouse button to ADS the seperation changes automatically. As for you saying about your eyes converging and diverging IRL, of course that's also possible with S3D games, otherwise there would be no point to it. Of course it would depend how far "out of the screen" you set things like the HUD or instruments but you'd still have the depth "into the screen". A lot of people only see 3D as meaning stuff comes out of the screen at you, which when it does it looks great but just as much of the greatness comes from the visuals in the screen. P.S Bohemia, the only things that Arma2 isn't perfect at using 3D vision are the sights (as mentioned above) and the shadows set to High or Very High because they are, assumingly post processed and at the wrong depth. It's fine set to Normal though :)

I very big Thank You to all you guys at BIS for your continued attention to all your Arma games and DLCs over the last 10 years or so. You are and inspiration to your profession and strive for the perfectness that us users want too. Even with your upcoming Arma3, you still work on your older projects which no other developer that I can think of does. Thank you for this Bohemia Interactive, not only do you produce the number 1 game that I could ever think of playing, but you continue to improve it. What a feat. Long may you continue, and I would pay you anything for Arma3 because I know you will continue to make it perfect.

Thanks Mr Burns, that's worked. Now to find a server that a) will allow custom faces and b) are running version 1.61 not 1.60 !!!!

How do I convert my face to .paa? I've edited the .jpg part and it's saved as a .paa but the game still doesn't recognise it. My free picture editor, GIMP, doesn't have .paa as an acceptable extension.

Thanks for your replies, I'll try and convert it to .paa I know some servers don't allow them but I'll give it a shot. Cheers, maybe see you in 1944.

Has anyone managed to use the same custom Face.jpg as used in Arma2? I tried my A2 face but IronFront said it couldn't be loaded.

I apologise if I'm being thick here (and I am an Arma vet) but what is TBB3 or TBB4? And what's the command line?

I can't play my Arma 2 now after installing TOH! I get the message, "Arma2 OA has stopped working, windows is searching for a solution". I've tried everything, from deleting my config files, not using mods, clicking on Arma2 exe directly and uninstalling TOH. Anyone else having this problem and know how I might be able to play Arma without doing a full reinstall of it?

I've searched the forums but can't find an answer to my specific problem. Game runs fine until I Ctrl Alt Del out of the game to give my graphice cards a rest and chance to cool down because they run at 99% usage at all times, even when paused. When I go back into the game, within a few seconds, the screen freezes and is unresponsive until I Ctrl Alt Del back to desktop where it tells me "Arma2 is unresponsive and needs to close" or whatever that fateful phrase is! Anyone have any suggestions please?

I've just bought a new Motherboard with an i7 920 and after doing a clean reinstall of everything Arma2 works fine before applying a patch but after applying patch 1.05 and running it crashes to desktop before the main menu! I used to have an AMD Phenom II 940 which ran ok with 2 GTX260's SLI. What could be the problem now?
