  1. Hi Guys

    I have bought Arma 3 DLZ Bundle with Zeus and Karts. Steam tells me I have them installed (Arma 3 - Properties - DLC shows all three installed). However. When I fire up the game Zeus and Karts are not there. Most servers have the ? to the left and show the servers as running those add ons. Clearly I don't have the DLC content installed even though Steam says I do? I'm not very tech savvy and am at a complete loss. Any help greatly appreciated.


  2. Hi All. Sorry if this sounds stupid. Deep breath. I have Arma 2 and Operation Arrowhead (both on DVD). I also have BAF and PMC. I am not sure if I have a prob here or am imagining one. I don't have/show a Combined Ops icon anywhere. I have Arma 2 and Reinforcements icons in my Start Menu. Reinforcements launches fron the Operation Arrowhead exe. path. Arma 2 from Arma 2 exe. path. Only Arma2 and Arma2OA show in progam folder on my disk. I think all is well, but nag that I should have Combined Operations rather than Reinforcements? Please indulge a computer idiot. Many thanks


  3. I quite agree that Arma's relative unpopularity lying with its inaccessibility.

    One of the biggest hurdles is the management of mods.

    Arma would become much more accessible if mods where better inegrated, e.g. activation and deactivation within the game (without having to restart the game), download and update of mods from centralised server (à la Six Updater)

    Amen brother :bounce3:


  4. Try this.

    Arma2/OA seems to select the Windows default recording device on start up. If you have Windows 7: Control Panel -> Sound -> Recording Devices. Make sure your desired input is the default device and ideally disable any recording devices. Ensure it is working in Windows, then launch the game. Don't unplug or disable the mic while the game is running, or you'll have to restart it.


  5. Night vision is very realistic in this game. When I was in the Army we were taught to close an eye when flares went up etc. Night vision takes about twenty minutes (I think) to develop ie your pupils slowly dilate. The same effect is replicated in game but doesn't take as long as the human eye obviously. Switching NV gogggles on and off will affect your night vision in game - there will be a delay before your eyes adjust to NV goggles being off. In some scenarios having NV goggles off really will result in complete darkness regardless of your night vision as there may be no natural light at all. I am not sure if you are just not adapting to the in game realism or if there really is a bug with your graphics but if it is pitch black in the mission scenario you just have to keep the NV goggles on.
