  1. View Distance, Object Distance --the only two setting that will cripple your frames if set too high. Screen rez will crush frames if your gfx card can't handle the resolution. Read my sig:
  2. Arma 2 didn't have playable MP til v.1.62 --nearly 3 years into the title-- did you forget? I'm lovin' MP koth right now, playing smooth up to 58 slots. The 100+ slot server ain't here yet..., as Bis wants it, just like we do.
  3. Don't be lead astry by trolls --deceived by deceivers. They WANT you unable to play the game. Post your problem; post your specs. Troubleshooting will help. ---------- Post added at 05:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 PM ---------- BS..., we both know.

    ArmA3 performance survey

    MP has got'in alot better lately, The missions that lagged me last year play fine now. I've upped my vd, od, object detail, and fxaa since alpha. Not taking survey --too many non-playing haters on this board. I'd also like to give credit to the hardworking Modders whom've done so much making their mods playable.
  5. I do this: .PNG to .TGA (uncompressed) to .PAA (dx5) image.

    SUVs are STUPID fragile

    Boo-hoo. learn to drive. I rechecked suv just to make sure --normal speeds give normal results.

    Too many 'idiots'

    OP is a whiner. get tough, and report griefers to the server host, not here. Public servers work..., just not all the time. Report, mute and play the game.

    Neighbours? [spits] Just another name for collateral damage in Arma.

    Why no aiming down sights in urban prone?

    Yeah, an early alpha build had sights up. Unless crosshairs are enabled, there's little point to the stance. As it is, i don't use it.

    SUVs are STUPID fragile

    Yep. The OP could drive slower and avoid obstacles for better results.

    Wife is gone for the week..., gonna shake the house down! Also got a 60w. bass amp..., too much?
  12. I use 128x128. Have used 64x64 --point is, it must be square. Also, set texview output to dx5, no problems. ---------- Post added at 02:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:38 PM ---------- Take a look at this run-down: http://arma2squad.webs.com/apps/forums/topics/show/1878403-how-to-create-squad-xml
  13. Go with, Processor: I5 4670k 3.4 Ghz RAM: 8Gb 2133 ram Zalman cooler Save cash by reusing the old case, psw, optic drive, even hard-drive as you can. Get the "K" burnt-in @4ghz. --find a shop that knows what it's doing, and leave the techy stuff to them.
  14. Ah, good point, I5 4670 "K" --is a must for the unlocked mulipliers. Didn't know they sold a locked version.
  15. Faster Ram? 8gb.? Read here: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?166512-Arma-3-CPU-vs-RAM-performance-comparison-1600-2133-up-to-15-FPS-gain&highlight=ram Oh, and don't forget a after-market cooler for the cpu --since you will want to oc it.

    ArmA 3 Performance Tweaks and Settings Guide

    Been playing 'King of the Hill' lately, and had problems IDenting blue/red/green factions --the uniforms were smuggy at range, hard to make out --bluefor & greenfor very hard to ID. Found cranking FXAA sharpens uniforms at range..., making friend/foe IDents much better. Also, Nvidia users can crank 'Color Saturation' up thru the CP --i find default color very washed-out.
  17. Before replacing..., could try an overclock just to see.

    WASD Keys not functioning

    Not a standard english keyboard? If so, can try english setting for a workaround.

    New take on Arma's keyboard control......

    I'm an old flight-simmer, so i fly my infantry using Js + pedals + mouse. The software allows for some handy macros: --Firing, squeeze trigger holds breath; on release trigger fires. Fire time is set for 2 bullet bursts on full-auto. --Shift stance right/left + lean; on release resets stance back. --Got a sprint macro where on release lowers to the next stance --so low crouch sprint goes to high prone seamlessly fast. The hold breath/fire macro is sweet. The "autohotkey" software can do macros for keyboard, but not user-friendly. There must be some easy to use macro software for keyboards. I know Saitek/madcatz sells gaming KBs.

    FPS drop when zomming in?

    I understand the problem in terms of 'fillrate': http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fillrate Where saturation occurs when the memory speed can not clear the scene. I've found lowering 'object detail' helps alot in Arma.
  22. You can try the "Microsoft. NET Framework 4 Client Profile" repair tweak. Flight-Simmers playing 'Cliff of Dover' swear by this for micro-studders. Read this thread: http://theairtacticalassaultgroup.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1806 GL, let us know if it works.
  23. Finally we see the butthurt..., starting with, " I have been part of these groups and they treat their members like dog crap." Ending with, "..., before you falsely accuse..." Axe..., meet grinding_wheel. R. Lee Ermey said it best, "There's a lot of whiners in every crowd." http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/r/r_lee_ermey.html
  24. Oh, i see, you're worried 'bout "new players" falling in with the wrong crowd. The wrong crowd being any mil-sim group you don't approve of. That's the gist of it, right? On the subject of role-playing --it is interesting Life servers are so popular in both a2 & a3. Seems there is a significant fan-base for the roleplay gendre. We're just a mod away from Furries clogging the server lists..., or God knows what's next? I'd be worried for new players being scarred for life..., oh, the Humanity!
  25. Oy! Complaining 'bout mil-sim groups playing a mil-sim game. A poll no less! Long diatribes even..., bitter vitrol. Did someone mention 'Drama'? Me? I think it's great like-minded people can come together in Arma to enjoy their hobby together. Better here than formations of jack-booted Grognards marching thru 'Second Life' or the 'My little pony' game. --the horror..., the horror....
