Just wanted to say that I've been playing the hell out of this mission and it's definitely one of my favorites. I think I've come across a bug with the equipment accumulation in the scenario. After a while of playing, after a lot of enemy AI have been downed/weapons have been dropped, I go to check enemy bodies for equipment and CTD after exiting the gear menu. The scenario then becomes unplayable because I can't open up any equipment menu without crashing out. If weapons that were dropped in the field were deleted in the same manner as enemy bodies are deleted, do you think this problem would be alleviated? Again, really enjoying the scenario! FIXED: Obsolete mods incompatible with v1.64.

Thank you BIS, A3 has been running fine since application of the hotfix/new patch.

This solution makes A3 at least playable for me until 20 minutes in when I get some odd "ground" error and then I lose FPS dramatically. BUT, I can save & exit out, and re-open A3 and play where I left off. At least it's a small temporary fix for me until the problem is solved...thanks Demon Cleaner. Edit: I noticed when there is heavy RAM usage, i. e. heavy reinforcements triggered, the FPS goes right to 1-3. No matter how long I've been in-game. Happened after a re-load 3 minutes in for example. Further update: I applied the command line -malloc=tbb4malloc to my A3 shortcut and set my video settings to 'ultra' and my problems disappeared. No more crashing nor 1-3 FPS lag after 10 minutes. Complete stability thus far...this one's a head scratcher...

@ Dwarden, sent. Thank you!

Thank you Sir.

Is anybody else getting a failure to locate the userconfig file asr_ai3_settings.sqf at startup with the latest dev branch versions? I quadruple checked that my asr_ai3 userconfig files were properly seated. Or am I the only one receiving this issue... Could it be related to this?: "Tweaked: Scripting commands - change wording of the local keyword to private for consistency and to avoid confusion." I haven't dove deep enough into the asr_ai3 .hpp(s) but have went back to stable branch and the problem goes away...

Not sure if I can answer your question but I play DUWS-Rebirth with bCombat and ASR AI (dominance given to bCombat for its unique "seek cover" attributes, and ASR AI for its AI rearming and "radio backup" to other AI when attacked) and it works great. I think what makes DUWS-R/DUWS cut down considerably on lag is using ZBE Caching. The AI is not super accurate, nor all-knowing, and misses their shots at a realistic rate even up close. Sometimes they will shock you and nail you dead on, but hey play with fire and get burnt eventually right? But yeah, I also raise the enemy's skill level to Veteran at the set up prompt to make sure AI isn't exactly a horrible shot as well. Seems to balance out. I think that's it's really about finding the balance that works for you with mod user configs and AI skill values.

You're the man, thank you Sir. :ph34r:

Thanks for your reply! Ah, very well. I only assumed so because there was a situation where I put down an IED in a house when a CSAT squad were outside the house (front yard) and still were able to detect me putting down that IED from inside the house without any LOS. Maybe I'm hoping for too much of a "Hitman" type AI I suppose. From then on I figured Incognito worked from a proximity base instead of a LOS suspicion alert. Is this normal?

Really, really hope you do bring this up to ArmA 3. One of my favorite missions of all-time on ArmA II...been a long time. Lost is legendary IMHO.

Also noticed this as well with no weapons/items in hand. Seems like a new bug. (Newest dev patch)

Rydygier, Absolutely love this mission and have already put in 40+ hours into it; I had a question about your Incognito mod. Are there any plans to add any line of sight checks to enemy AI to possibly add depth to being "exposed" as a combatant? I know right now being exposed is activated by doing a suspicious act in the proximity of the soldiers if I'm reading into the mod correctly. Would line of sight checks (of suspicious acts by the player) bog down the CPU/engine? I think that could possibly add excellent depth to your already brilliant mod. Thank you again for this mission and mod. Magnificent work! I love the feeling from operating "undercover" in ArmA. Much needed.

I can also confirm this issue; latest dev build, scope reticules disappear after load. 1920x1080 HD, ARCO Optics missing (No custom FOV add-ons used) - SOS Optics still functioned normally, Kibot's Dynamic War, seems to happen mainly during load games.

Thanks for the script Livedeath, anything that makes this mission more enjoyable. I will give it a try.

Good ideas. I would just love to see an actual enemy presence on Altis, contacts for me are few and far between with the majority of enemy forces stuck hanging out at their respective OPs.

Hope this scenario doesn't die out, one of my favorites.

Signed.

Thank you man!

Hello Windwalking, ArmA 3 needed a mod like this where AI react to sound. Thank you for this! I had a question, is it normal for my AI teammates to come out of stealth on their own even after I "Stealth" (7-1) command them myself? I find myself repeatedly telling them to go back into stealth as they tend to come out of it on their own accord. They end up going right back to "Stay Alert" status (Command 7-3) whenever they feel like it. This is after changing the user config to '0' for teammate suppression. Is this normal? I tried without the mod and my commands stuck well. I'm using LOS, EBS, ASR AI along with your mod.

Yeah I was using A2/OA units when I'd get the resume crash. It may have been because I had my teammates pick up A2/OA weapons perhaps, M16A4 ACOGs and M4A1 ACOGs with no icons in the gear menu? Thanks SaOk.

Greetings SaOk, loving the missions, Whole Lotta War especially. I had a problem with resuming my mission, I get a hang then CTD during the loading menu. The load progress bar stops at about 70% and then slow CTDs. Anybody else getting this problem (I'm also updated to newest AiA version)?

I can confirm this as well, received a slow crash (had to alt-tab back out to regain cursor and end program) after moving an enemy RPG42 to my "launcher" slot in-game using the inventory menu. v103923 Dev.

Good idea, thank you for this.

Thank you for these dynamic scenarios SaOk, my favorite type of ArmA missions! Glad you were able to port it over so quickly.
