If you want to step into the world of Arma2 online with an Australian based group of professionals then check out: Online Combat Battalion. Who are we OCB is a clan that operates using tactics and teamwork. Our leadership and many of our members are active or ex military. Tactical missions are run on Friday evening. We generally use ACE and a variety of other mods. We have a mod sync app to make it easy. We also play Battlefield, DCS and other games casually. What are we looking for Players generally must be at least 20 years old with a stable internet connection, able to talk on TS3 and reside in the general region of Australia.

OCB are hosting community events. The next event uses the i44 mod. More details here: http://ocb.net.au/board/index.php?/topic/4756-community-tac-night-ln-el-alamein-15th-feb/

Anyone else getting a crash to desktop in Single player? I've tried to do the first training mission twice now and both times it's just crashed to desktop at different parts.

Seems pretty polished to me! I'm having a blast with it.

ARMa 3 banned in Iran: http://www.theverge.com/gaming/2012/9/19/3357600/arma-3-banned-in-iran

Awesome can't wait to get it going.

No FOV mod. I use trackir though as you can tell so maybe I'm just looking up over the weapon more...

Patrol Ops.

Is this a thinly veiled post that should be in the wishlist?

It will probably be the best game there and all the awards will go to Black Ops 2.

Here you go: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA_2:_Custom_Memory_Allocator & http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma2:_Startup_Parameters The memory allocator controls how things are packed in and out of memory. 1.60 brought with it the ability to customise this. TBB4 is now the default.

I've added the command line to use TBB3 instead of the default TBB4. It's not crashed since then. I've tried default vid mem and highest. I don't think its the video card causing the issue but the memory throwing some errors. edit: Arma 2 works fine with TBB4 though....

I'm experimenting with different mallocs. It would be odd since I use the TBB4 just fine in Arma 2 OA beta...

I'm having the same pain. I've tried to play the first mission 5 times and it's either crashed to desktop or my character movement has frozen due to the scripting requiring a restarting of the game...

Nope it's a total crash - with a stopped working windows dialog box.

Whoa won't download now though... but I have it!

If it's like recent releases I've purchased it's generally some time in the Czech afternoon/evening I think. EDIT: Pre-ordered!

It's in the devblog - performance hits. I hope we get an idea of what indoor lighting is like - maybe still a WIP not ready to show?

That would be awesome!

Very nice lighting! Does anyone know about firing a gun underwater though? Would it actually work like at the end of the video?

Can't wait! I hope they show lighting inside buildings and vehicles. That's the main area I think needs work in Arma 2.

wow everything on very high or high and 10,000m view distance in patrol ops and I'm getting 32FPS. I turn view down to a reasonable 2.5km and I'm getting 60FPS. Very nice!

I agree. You can have a fun night with half a dozen players on a vanilla server. Mods just let you take things further.

Adding things like this makes people complain that control and animations are too clunky and need to be more urgent.

Fixed.
