    It almost seems like my ARMA 3 has "25% chance to crash when closing map"(random %). I have tried to replicate this bug to try to narrow it down, but still cant find whats causing the game to crash. I can literally go into game, press M 20 times, nothing will happen, press it 3 more times and boom, instant crash to desktop.

    I have tried:

    Reinstalling video drivers

    Verifying game cache

    Reinstalling the game after game cache didnt work

    Running as Administrator

    Running on Low settings

    I think the HUDs don't work in 3d but not sure.

    Zrad, I tried IZ3d but it didn't work for me (HD5870). Maybe I didn't set it up right.

    Lol, Killakaze. Thats a funny spoof vid. :D

    Make sure ArmA 2 runs in XPMode if you use IZ3D. I had trouble setting it up also.

    Well at least DM has the decency to embed it :)

    Lol, I couldn't figure out how to do it for the 3D vid. Oh well.

    I've used the IZ3D drivers to good effect in ArmA2, but it does get irritating after a while. It's difficult to get a blend of "realistic" depth cue and effective 3D, however it is possible to offset the 3D seperation to only one eye, meaning you can still use optics/ironsights properly if you close one eye :)

    Actually the only game I've found the 3D to work in and be entertaining is Assassin's Creed. Also the colour pallette for that game suits it more.

    Its just one of those "whoa" moments. Im not sure I could go for long either.

    I also think the "go play cod" argument works against us. Instead of telling these people to piss off and play the little children's games, why not instead convince them that ArmA is best?

    Best thing ive read in this thread so far, amongst others. How about we just fix the situation the OP is in, and everyone is happy? I could argue both ways, but it would only add to this flaming thread. Our opinions are our own.

    "This video contains content from Sony Music Entertainment. It is not available in your country. "

    I am in Germany, any chance of uploading a European friendly version?

    Yea, its only blocked in Germany because of some bad government negotiations with YouTube, or something like that. Ill release a 3D video of some first person gameplay, amongst other gameplay as well, for the Germany users. I should have an upload released in the next 2 days.

    Nice vid Zrad.

    Can you tell me how to activate the 3d anaglyph mode with an ATI card? (Which drivers are you using?)

    I did try it when I had an NVidia card and it was fun to experience but I woulnd't want to play for hours in anaglyph. (after a few minutes my brain started to adapt my vision and I saw blue tint on left eye and red on right after I taking off the glasses)

    THESE 3d Stereo glasses with head tracking would be my dream to use with ARMA... TOTAL IMMERSION (apart from peripheral vision :()

    Assuming head tracking worked accurately without lag

    Res is a bit low at 1280x768 but I could live with that ;)

    I used IZ3D for this particular video, but from what i've tested, I only got it to work with DirectX 9. (ARMA 2 in XPMode) I now use a program called TiDef, and I love its easy to use/launch the games in 3D mode, and supports DirectX 9-11. Costs $50 for TriDef (includes other 3D modes built in, if you upgrade hardware), and IZ3D is free (at least the anaglyph is) but when you compare the cost of anaglyph to the more professional setups, you can save around ~$400 by going anaglyph. I personally dont think its worth ~$400 just for a less distorted colorization method (if you watched the video, the only decolorization you really see is a red glow on red colored things), slightly etter 3D depth, and less bugs.

    Hey everyone, made a quick vid of 3D ArmA 2. I really enjoyed playing in the depth the 3D provides, regardless of the bugs, slight lag, and slight discoloration.

So break out those old red/cyan glasses, and enjoy.

    3D WITH ANAGLYPH RED/CYAN 3D GLASSES ONLY

    If you don't have the glasses, you can get them for free, and pay less than a dollar for shipping.

    Honestly, its worth it for less than a dollar, being cheaper than chips.

    All graphics settings are set to the highest possible.

    For the best 3D performance, please switch to 720p HD.
