  1. I am pretty sure they are not, what made you think that? At best, they could add workshop addon support, and have it auto dl them, which is a terrible idea, considering if any addons hit the workshop, all the altis life mod servers and some shitty chinese hackers will upload 100 shitty reskins to add wallhacks or some crap.

    Anything besides the current system is bad news if it uses the workshop.

    What are you saying? Steam workshop will only ease the mod downloading and installing process, it won't allow people with mods to join servers.


  2. The video posted in the "Lighting Tweaking" thread that shows the colored clouds timespan got removed, but the dev response to it is still there:

    Hi, thanks for very nice video. I agee with you, I must revert this version cloud, due a problems with mornig and evening. I try repair it as soon as possible. Thanks

    AFAIK sometime after this the clouds got removed and we never got them back!


  3. I've had the same "Corrupted data" issue for the last few weeks. It's always the very first time I join a server after starting the game. Occurs maybe every third time. If I try to join the same server immediately after the kick, it works just fine.

    This happens to me and my friend too. I don't think it happens all the time, but when it does, it happens on the first server I join!


  4. I'm experiencing everything mentioned...

    Hopefully BIS give this atrocious MP lobby some love in the near future since I think it may pi** off lots of people trying to dip their feets into the multiplayer world...

    Indeed, I wish A3 gets a server browser like DayZ (it's not the best, but it's better than this)


  5. Thanks for the input Andrey! I tried to reboot my router but MP lobby is still painfully slow! People said that STEAM would work much better but don't know where they got that from?

    BTW, do you use any filters?

    /KC

    Usually yes, but the main problem is that a lot of servers don't show up (or take a long time to show up) and I have to manually filter search them in order to find them! Also, steam friend joining only works 0.1% of times.


  6. Arrowheads approach really offered the best of both worlds save for pixelated optics...You get the content and you can play with friends, use it to the fullest extent and so on..sure it looks awful but thats the point, the idea is to let you play with friends and others but to also encourage you to buy the DLC if its bothering you that badly...think about it, there was at most a splash screen talking about the DLC on the main menu and after that you never saw an advertisement beyond that...no blurring screen, no sale overlay...just fuzzy textures, you still got the content, you still got to play with friends..sure you may have lost out on some immersion but the fact that you weren't split from everyone should more than make up for it.

    Yeah, but then people wouldn't want to buy the DLC's and all you would get is a game with randomly bad textures. That's not only bad for the player, but for the game's reputation!


  7. Why? They release DLC with shit guns nobody needs to buy to play the game effectively and they release heists as free updates constantly. With every single larger update, comes a massive discount where you can get the DLC for almost nothing.

    You can play Armored Transport heists even if you do not own it. All other heists are free.

    All the weapon packs are fluff, except for the .50 cal rifle which can make Death Wish slightly easier. The best primary and secondaries come from the base game. Hand grenades are mostly useless.

    And the attachment pack gives only minor advantages.

    Shit guns? They're selling basic FPS gear: Grenades, LMG's and snipers! They keep make cops more annoying and then release these DLC's to probably make people buy them!


  8. @Sniperwolf572 You're comparing a coop game with an open world sandbox game, seriously? It's one thing to deny non DLC users from getting DLC content in a closed coop game, but you can't do that in a sandbox game... Btw. Overkill's DLC tactic sucks


  9. Heh, you know, the best way of selling DLC is to make people actually WANT to buy it, not FORCE them to buy it.

    The problem here isn't how to make people buy it, it's how not to split the community. I don't think there's a good way to do it in a game like Arma...


  10. Did you try the official BIS Arma 3 servers? I went on and it was running at 4fps, and that's the official server, with I presume a BIS coded mission. If not even the game developers can run a MP server with AI and players over 10 fps then there is a serious problem.

    He meant server


  11. BIS know there is a problem, why do you think all the missions never had that many AI in the campaign? Why do you think the open ended campaign got cut? Did you try the official BIS Arma 3 servers? I went on and it was running at 4fps, and that's the official server, with I presume a BIS coded mission. If not even the game developers can run a MP server with AI and players over 10 fps then there is a serious problem.

    I'm pretty sure there are no BI missions. Dwarden uses popular missions for his testing servers...


  12. Ok we have tanks, aircraft and so many other vehicles to play with but we can't play with them because the engine and the performance are not allowing that. Just a thought , why put vehicles and aircraft in the game if the engine limits the performance and people can't enjoy playing with them. Make small maps, remove vehicles( I love them but they are not good for multiplayer performance)and put emphasis on infantry only. Reduce the amount of good stuff but make the game playable and less buggy so people can actually enjoy it without thinking about performance and FPS drops in every session they play. And to make my self clear the only reason I "complain" is because I love Arma.

    Smaller maps? No vehicles? If I wanted that I would play COD or BF. Arma with smaller maps and no vehicles isn't arma!


  13. Yeah I know that but I still feel betrayed somehow. All attention in core issues for DayZ but nothing special for Arma 3. This is how someone lose faith in you.

    They can't switch Arma 3 to 64-bit at this point, the game has been released. Everybody using 32-bit could sue them! It's even shady in DayZ, but atleast that's Alpha so they have some right to switch...
