Will-my-pc-run-Arma3? What cpu/gpu to get? What settings? What system specifications?
ratszo replied to Placebo's topic in ARMA 3 - GENERAL
Yep, will need to tweak your setting, but it will most certainly run. Noticed it turbo boosts to 3.6ghz, better still. You run any other newer games? -

I'll run, low setting, low view distance. -
Had that happen on arma2 --turned out my cpu was overheating, 70C.+. My heatsink was all furry from cathair, damm cats.

ratszo replied to Placebo's topic in ARMA 3 - GENERAL
Yeah, that's the thing, you only got 2.21gb 'cause win7 ate the rest booting-up. 2.21 + 1.79 = 4gb ram. I got 64-bit with 8gigs ram --that's what you'd want to upgrade to for 64-bit. 8 - 2 = 6gb free for gaming. -

ratszo replied to Placebo's topic in ARMA 3 - GENERAL
Looks ok, be modest with view/object distance in-game, sure. 32-bit on win7 eats alot of ram..., 64-bit, more ram, works better for games like arma3. Good luck! -
Question about gear-inventory, uniforms and AI, and ammo strength?
ratszo replied to lazerath's topic in ARMA 3 - GENERAL
Maybe russian forces can wear "little green men" unmarked uniforms as in Crimea? Or the "vacationing russian soldier" uniform they wear in Ukraine & Syria? Purely for realism's sake, of course. -
Install A3 from DVD and not Steam. "Delete Local Content" ????
ratszo replied to Joe98's topic in ARMA 3 - TROUBLESHOOTING
The way i understand it is the dvd only has the key. The game will need to be d/l'ed from steam. Go here for details: http://support.bistudio.com/store-bistudio "− Activating your non-Steam CD key on Steam Step 1: Make sure you have the Steam client installed If you do not have Steam installed, please follow this link to download and install it. Step 2: Run Steam as Administrator •Right-click on the Steam icon. •Click "Run As Administrator." If this choice is unavailable, you are already logged in as Administrator. In that case run Steam normally. Step 3: Activating your game Click on the Games tab in the menu in the top of the client. Then select Activate a Product on Steam from the menu. Click the Next button until you get to this screen: There you can enter your CD key. Then click Next again. Your game is now activated and you can download it the same way you download any game on Steam...." -

I'd look close at his profile where the addy is pasted in. May be a space in the wrong place, syntax thingy. -
Arma randomly reset my entire controls and video options and entire profile

I know king-of-the-hill players sometimes lose their stats, the fix is to run arma.exe as administrator. Best to always run arma.exe as administrator. Steam too. -
What questions would you ask the AUDIO TEAM of Bohemia? Technical & creative stuff
ratszo replied to megagoth1702's topic in ARMA 3 - GENERAL
I don't ask sound guys anything --They never listen! But yeah, 3-d positioning for direct von --since direct von is on the fx settings. Any thoughts on having a graphic EQ in audio settings? -

ratszo replied to Placebo's topic in ARMA 3 - GENERAL
Lot's of people play this game on laptops. I'd say it's very common. That's not gonna change. Think we see more laptop users needing trouble-shooting here because of low specs & power usage setting found on many laptops. Thing 'bout overheating, not much can be done with a laptop, 'cept maybe sent it to a shop for cleaning. --or place it on a bag of ice while playing? I'd say most hardcore gamers know their way around a desktop just by cleaning & swapping parts as they upgrade. Had a guy last year in troubleshooting wondering why his Alienware laptop barely ran arma3 --It's an Alienware right? Right, but an Alienware laptop from 2008.... From a troubleshooting point-of-view, laptop or desktop matters little. Tho the fixes on a desktop may mean a new part, not a new rig like a laptop. ---------- Post added at 11:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 AM ---------- They say that about vodka & gaming too --yet our east european friends can't all be wrong. -

Will-my-pc-run-Arma3? What cpu/gpu to get? What settings? What system specifications?
ratszo replied to Placebo's topic in ARMA 3 - GENERAL
Im going to pick answer #3 -- "Gaming laptops are good for gaming.". But really, it all come's down to specs --and in arma cpu power trumps all. Nobody's gonna say a guy's 4.2Ghz laptop ain't gonna run arma. --overheating is not in the metric. I also got to clean the cat-hair off my cpu's heatsink 4-5 times a year ..., just part of being a gamer..., with cats. This thread is for guys wondering if their 'puter will run this game. It's not for gamers with monster gear --unless they just wanna dangle their thing. -

Car Left and Right [Analog] won't steer tracked vehicles
ratszo replied to rangoon's topic in ARMA 3 - TROUBLESHOOTING
Well, am thinkin' of another way.... Ok, on my js i can bind key presses to axis' --even with key presses, arma still sees the axis. It sees both. So say you used A/D left/right turn (or any keys that don't conflict). X-axis acts as keystrokes in a tank, and as a normal axis in analog. Thats to say your software can do that. -
Humm.., found a 'fix' in the battlefield forum using Vjoy software: http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/forum/threadview/2979150493889267304/ Seems the problem is the X-55 is infact 2 devices. So the game sees only one device, not the second one which is the throttle. Vjoy sounds like a pain to me, but if it works?
-
Did a google search --found alot for other games, same problem. May find something there: https://www.google.ca/search?q=X-55+throttle+not+showing+binding&oq=X-55+throttle+not+showing+binding&aqs=chrome..69i57.31904j0j8&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=122&ie=UTF-8 X-55..., does it use saitek drivers and software like my old js does? Arma 'sees' my throttle -- Z+-.

Car Left and Right [Analog] won't steer tracked vehicles
ratszo replied to rangoon's topic in ARMA 3 - TROUBLESHOOTING
Yeah, binding both actions creates conflict. Tho with tanks, they don't use analog. So, one only needs to input x-axis for turn left/right without needing to delete the analog x-axis input. So, the easiest thing for driving tanks is to add axis to turn, then delete when finished. No need to look at the analog setting. -

ArmA 3 stops recognizing joystick as controller
ratszo replied to logitrust's topic in ARMA 3 - TROUBLESHOOTING
Na, the problem is win8 --do a google search, not win7, not win10-- edwind even shows the win8 problem. Don't expect Bis to troubleshoot Micro$oft's software. -
Car Left and Right [Analog] won't steer tracked vehicles
ratszo replied to rangoon's topic in ARMA 3 - TROUBLESHOOTING
Per function. Say i bound X-axis, twisty, and Pedals to left/right analog -- each will travel 33%. I tried that on a cart roadrace mission..., was sweet handling at high speed. Also use the trick on helos.., left/right collectives, half/half deadens the pitch for smaller inputs. Could try it on fixed-wing too --say one wanted less rudder authority? -
Can add ' -noLauncher ' to the steam start-up. That's what i do.

Car Left and Right [Analog] won't steer tracked vehicles
ratszo replied to rangoon's topic in ARMA 3 - TROUBLESHOOTING
I got a trick using the 'reduced range' feature that works very well: Both the X-axis and the twisty Z-axis are mapped to 'Left/Right analog' function. What that does is split the range of each axis 50/50 --with only 50% range on the X-axis, driving is very smooth, no over-correcting. For a sharp, full turn, use X-axis AND twisty axis for a max turn --much like hand-over-hand turning. Works great on the road.
