problem is, i wanna play on workshop content. :(

ive been having the same issue, if i un-subscribe from everything in the workshop, it works fine. as soon as i subscribe, i crash to desktop when trying to launch im sure you were still subscribed when you re-installed. try unsubscribing. see if that works. i see allot of threads in steams forums about this issue.

its good, ill have the game in 40 minutes, giggity

thanks man, the bis store is lagging with all the pingers.

steam has the option for developers to be able to update their games on demand now. not like before when the updates all come out at a specific time. id assume alpha would be concidered as an update. id also assume bis would consider this when making the countdown timer. people would rage buying a game then waiting to download. but as for the steam store, it updates at a specific time, so alpha probibly wont be seen until it updates.

54 minutes and patiently waiting, well trying to be patent. fishi fishay

probably daylight savings, just a guess. as the counter works off your pc's time

they had a small issue with the prices changing. dont worry, it will be back up. we still got 1h14m to go.

id like to know a little more about these, the concept sounds awesome. will there be a small "pip like" overlay on the eye, that will show what my co-op buddy sees? having that would be silly helpfull on where he is calling out an enemy. I mean a picture is worth a thousand words, live streaming would be worth a thousand to the tenth power. any insight if my assumptions are correct? i sure hope so.

from what ive read about in a multi monitor thread, you can script data such as the "in cab rear view monitor" to a second (real life)monitor. The more and more i think about this feature, the more excited i get. seeing your morters land a few miles away by a front line soldier, or seeing down a friendly snipers scope, over your shoulder, or relaying info to a chopper/apc/tank and vise versa. I can think of tons of cross reference data that would be helpful. And to see how the military tech is advancing today, especially with Moore's law. I can see every soldier having this in 2030ish time. I stream my gopro to my phone now wirelessly. would all the cross info create netcode synching issues?

thats what im trying to figure out. id assume its like the land warrior, but id rather have a streamed buddies camera view rather than the optic on my gun. getting a cross referance of where the enemy is, rather than a 12 o'clock or north calling would be way more helpful. put that on your second monitor!! giggity.

no one was saying buy a game everytime it comes out, maybe plan on which game you buy though. I dont have the money to buy a new game right now either. but fortunately my brother gave me a steam gift card for christmas/birthday(same day). ive been sitting on for 3 months now, and it will be going to arma.

id like to see korea or china on american soil. maybe pushing into cali or texas(oil) or northern mexico, there is mountians, desert, city. could be some cool maps. imagine a city battle within skyscrapers. giggity

i dont see why valve wont have the alpha. bis has a good rep with them. im sure they would like to use steam for the updates too. although i look every day and have not seen anything regarding A3 in the store(damn tuesday isnt coming fast enough). Id also like steam for the "never having to look for the cd/key again". I hate trying to sift threw 1000 dvd's to find my game, just to find out i left it on some sandpaper. ive had to torrent a few games because i treat dvd's like coasters. all i need now is to remember a name and password.

yes to all, the more content the happier ill be. i miss the battlefield 1942 "all around" warfare. battleships/subs/tanks/planes/inf. i know it was more arcade like. but, make it more real/sim like and id be happy. doing a night time "hostage rescue" rescue mission onto a pirated cargo ship sounds "giggity", or using a battleship as arty, beach assault on a hovercraft with an apc onboard. the list can go on. side note, I could go for an updated bf1942 for my arcade fun fix. unfortunatly dice became ea and now is all about money. so they have been boycotted by me.

i agree, id love to see the maps ported over, maybe updated a little with more enterable buildings, Id like to also see dayz standalone "chernarus map" ported over. it looks cool. but, leave the zombies in dayz.

Im still confused why someone wouldnt want to support steam. it helps friends stay grouped up,has all your games in a nice list(keeping your desktop clean of icons) push out updates when your asleep, helps small companies get noticed, helps the consumer when companies lie(warz=bs), they have sales all the time(you would never see sales otherwise), they update steamworks to make it run smoother all the time, consistantly work against hackers/cheaters(which Real Virtuality game engine needs help with),etc,etc. Yeah sometimes they have some connection issues, but those are mostly database updates that last only a few minutes. And they are improving on it consistantly. If they want to make a few bucks off of it, be my guest. I got a few friends to get arma 2CO because of steams sales, they were not planning on ever getting it. Now they are getting arma 3. so yeah, bis made a few extra hunderd dollars from steam, threw them(if not more from their references). I fully support steam, I got it when it came out. it has come a long way, and is improving all the time.

not sure if you noticed, but there is a filter button. which they said they have improved. I believe (dont quote me) this time around you will be able to filter out, rather than just in. as for me I played dayz for about a week, not for me. wasteland was/is kinda fun sometimes. but why would you not want to try it? its a free game. I think of wasteland as an armex with actual enemies. find something cool, go fk someone up with it. plus when i find a server i like, i usually go back to everytime i play. so no need to shift threw servers.

+1 on t16000, i liked my old sidewinder. thrustmaster was the closest thing i could find that had the thumb slider for thrust. I have many many hours on it between arma and warthunder. i have no issues and couldnt be happier.

why would people not want dayz/wasteland mods? and their player base? If you dont like it, dont play it. I like mods. it helps the game stay alive longer. if dayz players wanna try arma, be my guest. maybe some will always suck, but others might turn into a great addition of the community. talking crap about players who like mods is just making yourself look like a child. i wasnt always into sim games. im actually a battlefield 1942/2 bred guy. mods got me into more advanced games like arma. project reality was a great stepping stone. side note, I wish ea/dice wasnt so greedy, and released mod tools. they suckered me for the last time(I.E. bad company and bf3). if bis didnt have mod support this time around. I would probably wait until there was a sale to buy arma 3. im buying A3 for 50% game 50% mods. here a few things i would and wouldnt like to see. mostly would 1)desynchronization aka. server lag (biggest gripe, right above 3a) 2)smarter ai, both friendly and enemy. driving too. how lame is it to have your ai driving you around. especially when another truck is stopped in the road. 3a)an enter button, I cant stand trying to get into a vehicle by scrolling a mouse wheel. especially when under fire. same for ladders. 3b)a grenade button, in the heat of the battle, switching threw firemodes to select a grenade takes way to long. id rather have an extra clip instead. 3c) a climb/jump button, not a jump like bf3 or cod. but for those pesky spots where its too high to "step" over, but its still only waist high. 4)make the step over button react to the speed you are moving. if your running, have him dive over the fence. it looks stupid to slowly step over a picket fence while under fire. 5)rocks. being able to climb on rocks, maybe with climb button(3c). and falling/sliding. the 2 second pause after a 2 foot drop is silly, in takastan being near the rocks thing just feels way clunky. 6)better cover, someone prone can be spotted easier from a half mile away, rather than 25 ft away.thinking that they are hiding in a field of tall grass, but the grass isnt rendered for the guy 500m out. so they just look like a moron laying in an open field. might as well have a neon sign. 7) serverside option to not have a 3rd person view. its just unrealistic to have a guy seeing over obsticles without poking his head up. especially 10 ft walls. 8)armored trucks with thin armor. example getting shot/killed in a armored hummer with a hand gun or assault rifle. 50cal yes, small arms not as likely 9) ability to set my 2nd/3rd monitor for seperate functions, like if im flying a chopper my second monitor would be the gunners view, for better navigation. or a uav view. the rearview camera on the truck. GPS. not too much where it would be unreal/unfair. but with a 22 inch monitor looking at a 10 inch monitor inside(pip). the truck/heli camera is only like 2x2 inch. just not enough as it would be in real life. especially when looking at a uav laptop and trying to be aware of your surroundings. my list can go on. Ive been a leacher of the forums for many years. but due to search functions, I dont need to post much.

great mod, tons of fun. but how do you guys make the night maps that are visible(greyed out). everytime i make a night mission, its just blackness.
