I Don't think it is just a problem for 32 bit machines I run 64 bit os and dam compare stratis to altis its a big mess, can't seem to turn with out minor freezes, can't use binoculars with out freezing can't use cqb scope to scope with out freezing, cant walk more than 2 meters with out freezing, can't drive with out stuttering. only plays bad on altis I Don't know what is up lately as stratis has been fine for me but altis has massive lag for me now even if i turn every thing down from ultra settings and object and view down to nearly min it is still doing the same think i might YT it for reference.

its about the amps on psu as well, my old psu = 750 watt 29amps done similar things for ages till i worked out it did not have the amps to run my card so I bought a good psu with 80 amps 850 watt and now I can crossfire no problems 2 x ati hd6970 = 550 watt draw you can have a high watt psu but with out the right amps it won't do.

mso keeps memory leaking and crashing on altis memory foot print error for me only when running mso.

Sorry i didn't get back till now yes it stopped the freezing for me cheers again to you and tpw game changer for the ai now.

@smurf on the old site for a3 features it was a confirmed feature like the 3d editor was, but it probably has been taken down now -I know I saw it on the bis a3 site not from the forums if you read the under ground posts you will see that they were meant to be released with the game before the big change happened It was in the sticky too at one time couldn't see it when I just checked but it probably has been updated to take out all the axed features that were originally planned. Quote Originally Posted by shephart BI confirmed that arma 3 will have underground structures. just take a look at the sticky topic about confirmed features Not an over reaction really to expect to use every building is it maybe its just me but I have been modding the a1 buildings to use properly check some out here http://smokedog3para.blogspot.co.uk/ I have been slowly rebuilding these for a while so far have about 15 buildings that are now use full including roofs and adding ladders to access roofs Of coarse ill wait for the release I have been waiting 3 years already and 2 late deadlines later here we are. Back on topic though maybe Rock ill be able to build you your Gibraltar island now we have the right type of buildings now to suit it

@ dale0404 were not doomsayers we just expect a bit more from a 4th gen game to have buildings that can be entered is not much of an ask is it in 2013, one of my main reasons to going to a3 was from the first posts about a3 were they were going to support underground structures as a terrain maker it was a big big disappointment to get told later its out the window so it gets a bit more depressing the more time goes on and features get axed or told maybe later is not what a lot of the community want to hear. to me all buildings should be entered or what is the point of them being there props are what we don't need and interaction is what we need for a infantry based game isn't it.

I know about the my documents /arma3/missions/ it is the first place I checked that is why I started looking in other places and came across the above folders and have not found the pbo any where, I checked the main game folder in missions only the mission pbos from armaholic are in there so I am a bit stumped. I am running the dev build.

I download 6 missions from steam but none are in my appdata/local/arma3/SteamMissionsCache its empty in the SteamPreviewCache folder there is the pictures from the mission that i have but can't find the dam pbo's checked in the main mission folder in steam libary and nothing ?

It was the one from yesterday or the day before ill try the new one now cheers again SmokeDog

It seems a lot of people here seem to think old cpu and gfx cards will run the game they will but at low gfx and fps, from my experience from the 2 pc's I have bought to play arma3 money talks, both cpu and gfx need to be of good quality ie price you can't expect a £500 pc to play this game well £500 is a budget machine. My arma2 pc was a q6600 on asus maximus formular 8 gig ram 60gig sd drive ATI HD6970 2gb ram it ran fine for arma2 ,when I used it for arma 3 "well above the min specs" the game did not fare so well so an upgrade was in order. The first board and cpu were asus extreme 3 core I7 [email protected] 12gb ram same gfx card as above and the same sd drive I got a bit better performance but still was not happy with it so I got the next gen asus sabretooth I7 3770 @4.2 x2 Ati hd 6970 now have 4 gig of gfx ram and the same sd drive and I get 60 fps with no drop fully maxed on ultra settings every thing up to max the only way to get better fps now is a new monitor. £500 budget pc £1500 midrange pc £2000-3000 top end pc I say you get what you pay for in life.

Hi and Thank's for the great addon, I get a few errors on screen File ( WW_AICOVER\ww_aicover.sqf, line 337 ) I was playing with the tpw ebs and a couple of other ai enhancements when I added your addon yesterday I get freezes in game every 2 or 3 minutes only happens when I enable the addon if I don't use it it works normally a haven't checked the rpt yet if you like I can stick a YT vid up to show you it . cheers again

crossfire on 2 x ati hd 6970 runs way better than just the 1 card on both A2/A3 frames won't drop below 60 with all ultra settings so I would say yes no stuttering either and drivers are fine too.

RPG seem dam effective on helicopters to me shame we lost so much kit to pilot error compared to the russian losses far more were downed by mujhidean but they did have stingers , from the wiki check em out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_aviation_accidents_and_incidents_in_the_War_in_Afghanistan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Soviet_aircraft_losses_in_the_Soviet_war_in_Afghanistan USAF Roundel June 6: The shootdown of an US Bell OH-58 Kiowa killed both servicemen onboard: First Lt. Mathew (Mat) Fazzari of Walla Walla, Wa, and Captain Scott P. Pace of Brawley, California. The incident happened in Ghazni province USAF Roundel August 6: A NATO CH-47 Chinook helicopter being flown by the 7th Battalion, 158th Aviation Regiment and 2nd Battalion, 135th Aviation Regiment[50][51][52] was shot down by the Taliban using an RPG with 30 American and eight Afghan casualties,[53] as well as a dog. It was the USAF Roundel July 25: A CH-47F Chinook was shot down by an RPG near Camp Nangalam in Kunar Province. Two coalition service members were injured USAF Roundel October 12: A US Army CH-47 Chinook helicopter had just landed and had been off-loading when an RPG was fired into the cargo bay. An Afghan interpreter was killed and seven ISAF servicemembers and an Afghan Border Police officer were injured. RAF Roundel August 20: A British CH-47 Chinook (S/N ZA709) was shot down in the Sangin area of Helmand province. The crew survived. USAF Roundel October 27: A US UH-60 Black Hawk was shot down in Wardak Province, with no fatalities.[135] Taliban forces claim to have used a Rocket-propelled grenade. The 10 soldiers on board were rescued. USAF Roundel July 2: A US UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter was shot down by RPG and small arms fire south of the Afghan capital in Logar province. The pilots were able to land the aircraft and evacuate everyone on board before it caught fire, another helicopter returned later and destroyed the wreckage with precision fire.[138] USAF Roundel May 30: A US CH-47 Chinook was shot down, in the upper Sangin valley, killing five American, one British and one Canadian soldiers. Until July 25, 2010, officially its downing was attributed to small arms and rocket-propelled grenade. It became clear that it was downed by a MANPADS as the Coalition forces generally downplay or even deny any SAM attack by Taliban insurgents[146][147][148] USAF Roundel June 28: A US CH-47 Chinook helicopter was shot down in Kunar province by Taliban commander Qari Ismail, killing all 16 US Special Operations servicemen on board. The US military says it was shot down by a rocket-propelled grenade. The helicopter was on a rescue mission for Operation Red Wings a team of four SEAL members, pinned down by Taliban gunmen.[162][163] USAF Roundel March 4: Two CH-47 Chinook helicopters were hit by RPGs and gunfire during Operation Anaconda. Two were killed in the first helicopter, which was dropping off a SEAL team. The second Chinook came in later that day to try to rescue the crew of the first CH-47, and subsequently was shot down, killing four.

Steam is only needed to activate the game and update if you need too.

I get your point but I don't think you get what you have said here (We should be hoping for official fixes to avoid having to use third party programs. We should have everything we need with the A3/Steam combo.) "Steam is a 3rd party" Bis should of stuck with sprocket I can't praise it enough I have 12 copy's of a1/a2/0a/baf/pmc/acr/Toh/hinds bis should of gone it alone for distribution which in turn would mean no 3rd partys and could of built a system like six in house and would not now have to act on the situation that is now brewing on the forums in terms of IP rights. Example if I use the a1 sample rifle mod it for a3 and release it on steam workshop for arma3 that's fine but if that addon was the best /most downloaded addon and they saw this they could in theory take that addon and use it in a new game which in turn would break BIs eulas for only being used in arma series and non profit. Why did we need steam at all what is the reason I have to have steam on my machine just to activate the game and now when I play I get steam telling me the world and his brother are playing this or that game on my game screen just to annoy me some more. :) Sorry for the hijack yes the ui is a bit stale and old and needs a face lift.

@Badhabitz With the problems of steam workshop on ip rights the addons won't be there to download off steam, so play with six or armaholic will be the norm still. I would rather be free from steam till we have sorted the ip rights for mod and addon makers first to be able to release content knowing it won't be used in other games with just a mention that they built it, Also having to give up their IP rights with the upload to steam workshop. (We should be hoping for official fixes to avoid having to use third party programs) yes it would be good to have what you have asked for in an ideal world no steam and mod and server intergration and not having to use a 3rd party programme ie steam to activate and play your game would of been the best solution.

Its not just about the money paid for the game for me (cheers MAC) , it was the scrimping and saving for the 2 new pc's I had to buy to play the game at the highest fps I could afford and now I don't play online I haven't found a good server since my GU split, The campaign was my main part to the game and now the campaign when released is just a couple of missions stringed together it will not be like the old campaigns in that multi branch ways of completing the mission and not out on release and with the axed features I feel pissed off spending over £3000 on 2 machines for just 1 game that now turns out not to be what we signed up for from the original plan. Arma has been the only title I have played in the last 10 years the only games I have installed up untill recently now I find my self playing insurgency2 and drifting away from A3 I had some good plans for islands and sorts but now I am not sure to carry on with the series as too much has been axed or dummed down to a casual ordiance for me, I got my dad playing my son my nephews and a few friends to all buy copies of a1/a2/oa/dlc's/TOH/A3 my support has now dwindled to encourage people to buy/play the game. Just hope I get my mojo back or ill bin it off and start looking at ground breach and the udk engine to play with.

+1 well I had to sit there till he had enough of playing jet set willy or jumping jack before i got my go, I have made my kids do the same "dad you said 2 hours ago it was my turn". lol

I used to save the sketchup file and pass it to modo or blender I can't remember off the top of my head, import then hold shift + t and it converts polygons to triangles then export as .obj so then it will go in oxygen but a few faces will have to be reversed and you have to resize the model I have used a few sketchup models as place holders here and there. Quick and easy to do.

Hi all thought i might share this sangin is working on A3 looks cool with the new clouds runs a lot smoother aswell frames at 60fps on ultra gfx settings before i used to get 30fps on a2. all i did was make an addon folder same as normal then copy all thesehttp://i49.tinypic.com/w1wwzp.png (155 kB) http://i49.tinypic.com/jr8pc1.png (156 kB) .pbo's from a2 and Expansion folder to the addon folder all vehicles work and weapons too cant use the units so place empty vehicles on terrain and enjoy all maps should work ones that use 3rd party addons just run the addon aswell Quick image of waziristan http://i49.tinypic.com/1jsrip.jpg (189 kB)

I don't think you have much to worry about you Rock Cleggy have done some out standing work as it is keep it up.

looks so good i just took pictures of it on Sangin and they look amazing with the environment cheers for the addon great work. have a look on here for the images http://smokedog3para.blogspot.co.uk/

Cheers mate working for me now.
