Hey so I've been told that since gamespy shutdown it has screwed up the multiplayer aspects of Arma 3. When I use my ingame browser I'm seeing a total of like 50 players online, highest population on a single server was 8 people. What is going on??? I've switched between Gamespy and Steam for server source but they both have similar results. Can anyone explain what's going on? Seems to me ArmA3 is dead??

Not sure how to check my version as I don't manually patch the game myself - I have my Arma 2, Arma 2 OA and Arma 2 OA beta on steam, which I believe are all automatically kept to the latest versions (I've scanned all of them for updates and steam is telling me their all up to date).

Yea I'll definitely do that, I'm just trying to figure out if I should RMA my card to be honest - trying to establish whether this is a hardware/software or ARMA related issue - I get this issue 24/7 from the second I join game, when running to a town off in the distance pretty much every outside edge of every building has that same sort of flickering. I've noticed this slightly in other games but not nearly as bad. Do you see similar things when you play?

Hmm. I'm referring specifically the edges of the red/green house (window frames) and surrounding fences, i find that they tend to flicker - I haven't really seen this in other ARMA2 youtube videos. Maybe it's just because of the lowered quality or recording @ 30 FPS. Not sure but I find it extremely distracting and bothersome for my eyes.

Hey guys, ever since installing my new card I've been having some issues with textures. Small or thin textures seem to flicker, it really bugs my eyes and I find it extremely distracting. CPU: i5-3570k GPU: Sapphire 7870 OC Edition Mobo: Asrock Extreme 4 RAM: Patriot Viper III 8GB @ 2133mhz PSU: Cooler Master 650W 80+ Certified I've also tried this card on a similar system with the same results: CPU: Phenom 965 BE\ GPU: Same Mobo MSI 770-C45 RAM: 4GB Patriot Viper II @ 1600mhz PSU: Same I've tried many different configs both in game and in CCC, I've tried drivers 12.8 through 12.11. I did cheap out on my PSU - http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=33_441&item_id=028286 Here's a video so you can see what I'm talking about: - notice the red & green house and surrounding area. (specific ingame settings are listed in description)1) Is this normal? 2) Could it be faulty card/psu? 3) Any idea how to fix this? Advice is appreciated -

Hey guys, so I've been putting together a new system (ram, case, psu, GPU) and I just received my i5 3570k + Asrock extreme4 mobo. What I'm wondering is if I should just keep my Phenom II x4 965 BE @ 3.8 Ghz and refund my i5 3570k + mobo ($375 value). I'm wondering what kind of performance increase I'd be getting with the new i5, if it's not significant this money could be better spent in the future on intel's 4th gen CPU lineup (or buy the 3570k at a much better price) . Has anyone upgraded from the 965 BE to an i5 3570k (or similar) and can share their experiences? I've searched for benchmarks but I've yet to find a comparison specific to Arma 2 with the two CPUs. My current specs are: CPU: Phenom II 965 BE @ 3.8 Ghz GPU: HD 7870 @ 1050/5000 Mhz RAM: 8GB DDR3 @ 1600 Mhz PSU: CM 650 W 80+ cert. Mobo: MSI 770 c45 Proposed Specs: CPU: i5 3570k Mobo: Asrock Extreme 4 Z77 RAM: Same PSU: Same GPU: Same Think I'll see a big performance increase? Thanks again for your help guys =D
