Fire Extinguisher...

Certainly looks like Arma, well '2' at least. A3 looks better graphically than that game. Ex mod makers are mostly the staff now anyway at BI. I think there is plenty of talent there for game style's. But not neccesarily the same talent for game making, from the ground upwards (imo)

Memories, but its past now. Good at the time.

The game is a 'mil-sim', well A2 is, not so much A3. The term 'mil-sim' is for the game, not a particular group type. Playing 'mil-sim' for us, is just about teamwork, nothing to do with being in the military. If players want to play with ranks, thats fine, not something we would do, but its a game, so whichever way players play, is o.k. Just enjoy. Regards Arma itself, playing using AI is more than an SP thing. Our groups rely on AI for the game style we play, without good AI, then the game suffers badly and our gameplay would just break down into something that resembles... well.. A3 ;) A bad trend for Arma (for me), is going towards MP and more mainstream. But business wise, its a good trend, so who can blame them.

You stop..

Update is really great. I really enjoy NMS, one of the most relaxing games around.. Not that I have many games. :P The style fits nicely into my childhood sci-fi dreams.. so long ago.. :rolleyes:

Worth a view:

Thanks for this.

Thanks for this update.

Thanks for this.

Thanks for the update.

Thanks for all your hard work. It is a shame it won't come to A2, but your health comes first. I won't see the mod in A3 as I don't play A3. I have the game, but still use A2, I prefer A2 and view it as the best in the series, by far. But we all differ on views regards Arma versions. ;) Anyway not to worry and thanks again for letting us all know. :)

Try running BAF/PMC as a mod. Copy all the required parts into your mod folder and have it load into your game as a mod. It should run o.k. with everything at the higher res. Not sure what else you could do, but I have heard of players having trouble via steam before. Could be down to load order etc. But running it as a mod should be fine, provided its a genuine dlc (which I have no doubt it is), then try it that way, The game should pick up any security check along the way.

Are you trying to run these through Steam ?

Thanks for the updates and links.

I turned all my ships back into credits. So I'll decide at year end which I'll get. Certainly the Freelancer, because of the new cockpit displays and setup, that looks really good. Don't think I'll bother with the Connie again, sort of lost its way. Other than that, not sure what else I'll get. Wisely or unwisely I have a little bit invested, but at least I can re-spend, come Christmas (I hope). Oh yeah, nice video, voice always suits, doesn't it.

I haven't udated this for a long time. But when I last was in there, it was the players that were the problem. I won't update until 3.0, which is at the end of the year, just can't be bothered with all that data every few weeks. It does look very good indeed and if the PU sets out to be what many players hope, then it will be a great game. Players are a problem in all games, I know, but hopefully, that will ease down. I'm exploring and doing a little trading, I hope. So looking forward to it, fingers crossed..

Its a very good game. :)

It is relaxing. But the reason why I like it so much is the art style, it takes me back to those sci-fi mags of my childhood (going back a long time 60's). Vivid visuals in bright colours of worlds far away which, as a child, you want too exist. Well now as an adult, they do.. Kind of weird isn't it. Its also a very good game, I'm not into crafting much, but this is easy, so that makes it more bearable I suppose. The critters (ai) are basic, but you can feed some of them and they'll find you goodies/resources. Others will attack, but all are easy to either, kill or like. ;) HG have put together a very nice game, much berated, but a game that will be looked back on, in years to come, completely differently, I feel. But you have to like the look of the game visually, it helps a lot. Keeps that feeling of wonder alive each time you land on a new planet, go inside a cave, dive underwater or just potter around looking at what PG can do. Which if I'm honest, is very good. Players say its too samey, well all I can say is, they're not looking, its what gaming does to players, they just don't look at the game, instead they want it to be this or that and when it isn't what they wanted or thought it might be (hype), every excuse comes out and they start saying its bad. You've got to be looking at the game, to see the differences. ;) I pre-ordered and have had my monies worth already, but that depends on how you view spending, doesn't it.. :)

I'm loving NMS, pre-ordered it (pc) and have around 30-40hrs in at the moment. I've not travelled very far yet, but exploration wise, its a dream. The fact I like the art style that they went for, '50's through early 70's' sci-fi mag/novel type artwork (why I bought it), it hooked me in. Pure sci-fi. ;) Its amazing what PG can do, plus using that style, it seems to suit it very well. The planets, caves, lakes & seas are gloriously fantasy sci-fi. Underwater is great, especially swimming into a cave and coming up in a cavern. Planet cave systems are miles long, you can walk around and get quite lost. It is a refreshing change to my usual gaming. Its probably a game I shall play, on and off, for many years. Also there is a small modding community already trying to get things done. Not sure how far HG will support modding, they have said they would probably do that, but its likely to be limited, I think. Even so, that holds out many possibilities there too. Yeah, NMS is good, albeit the haters love to hate, but who takes any notice. If they looked into the game prior to buying, many probably wouldn't have bought it. But we know players will buy, then blame the game when they can't run it. For those that are hating on the game but haven't actually bought it, or given it any time, then.. well... If the game is good, which it is (imo), and your into that art style and pure fantasy sci-fi, then you'd be hard pressed to find something as eye opening as NMS. Regards performance, it runs very well, other than the odd stutter entering a planets atmosphere, other than that, it runs at the setting I have in-game (60fps) most of the time. It looks very nice on high settings with 16 AF plus FXAA & 100fov, which is the highest it goes (fov settings seem a little odd in the game).

Could try winding the game back.

Utterly corrupt.. Just like the U.K. and most other countries. ;) Problem being, this one and Russia, have their fingers on the button. Not too reassuring.. :o Plus if Clinton gets in, those fingers will most probably become active, in one way or another. :wacko:

I'm using a AMD 290 and haven't noticed any difference in performance with the current version.

I think the truth is, provided you have the ram, you don't need to overclock the 4790k, its more than capable to run A2 or A3. But some see overclocking as the ultimate, I don't see that at all. Just a thought, isn't the 4790k supposed to have the best single thread performance of most Intels. Although that would depend on usage no doubt. ;)
