Well I played for hours and I didn't crash in both SP and MP. I have never experienced even a single crash since the alpha. Also, you forgot about how big was the changelog and the hundreds of bugs that were fixed. Everyone who has little experience with coding knows that fixing bugs almost always leads to new bugs. They are probably gonna fix this tomorrow in the dev branch, there is no need to be a whiny ****. "we dont care about new content until these issues have been addressed" 1. Don't speak for everyone 2. After the launch most people have been complaining about the lack of content 3. These issues have been here since the last update, you speak like they are here since forever "we beed BI to wake up and resolve simple as" you speak like you are an experienced programmer. Well let me say that it's not "simple as"

If MP performance is bad and SP is fine, blame the servers and the scripts not the game.

Disable AA and postprocess FXAA/SMAA for a huge performance gain. If you really hate aliasing, higher the sampling rate to something like 150% or 200% if your PC can handle it. Looks almost the same as anti-aliasing and eats less FPS. Disable SSAO completely. Caustics and anisotropic filtering are performance friendly, so I recommend putting them to the max. Put PIP to standard. Shadows on high. Shadow distance 200. Play with draw distance until you're happy with the performance, and let the game decide the object distance based on the draw distance. IMPORTANT: download DriverBooster and update all drivers.

What are you talking about? They've only fixed things for me in the last patch. The game is running even better on Altis. Yes the game release has been anticipated, we all know that. More content is coming for sure, they are making two new planes, the campaign and more. We only have to wait. Now you are asking yourself: why hasn't the release been delayed? Only the devs know. I guess it's because of GTA V perhaps? Losing morale after developing the game for more than 3 years? Who knows apart from the devs. Anyway, I'm not mad at them. It's still a fantastic game, and I enjoy playing it everyday since the alpha.

And the purpose of this thread is...?

I've set the texture quality to 5 and it works (:D) if you make the file read only. The game still says that the textures are on very high even if they are on ultra though. And guess what? No performance hit at all!

The settings don't change, but the ultra option remains locked. :mad:

After starting the game the values reset to default :(

Sarcasm right? My FPS were very good on ultra. I just disable AA and AO (which are things I don't even care that much) and I get 30-60 FPS with all settings on ultra (except PIP). Yup. The fact is that I can run ultra textures with no noticeable performance hit on a 1GB card.

But I'm quite sure the textures have an ultra setting.

Doesn't seem to work for me. If I put to ultra the game automatically sets some settings to very high without the possibility to set to ultra.

Hop in the dev version, we have cookies :cool:

Finally the camera follows your head when in ragdoll mode. This issue has been around since the alpha. Regarding those amazing light shafts, I have a suggestion: why don't you make them less pronounced when the sky is clear, and a bit more strong when there is fog? That would not only be kinda realistic, it would be also AMAZING ;)

The guys at InsideGaming should definitely download this

It depends on the formation. Thus, you can also give the move command via the map.

It's not always a good thing imo. This setting makes your GPU run always at maximum clock, even when it isn't needed, leading to overheating issues.

Set your GPU to the standard clock. Download Driver Booster/SlimDrivers and update everything that shows up. Try overclocking your CPU (2,83 GHz is pretty low for A3)

It's probably related to the mission. If I recall correctly, SaOk (the creator of WL) has stated that disabling dynamic fog in his missions can cause freezing and AI not doing anything. Not sure if that' s what causing the issues though.

Speaking of alt-tabbing, it should be instant while it isn't. It takes some time, which doesn't happen in any other game I've played. Thus alt-tabbing doesn't work in certain situations(editor, pause, etc) , you have to alt-ctrl-del. Am I the only one having this issue?

+1. I fucking love this game. The more I play the better it gets. Also, people who say this game is badly optimised: 1. You can't measure your performance in MP. Every server is different and gives you different framerates based on its bandwidth and the code optimization. I see shitloads of bad servers with missions ported straight from the old, outdated Arma 2. Yes, badly coded missions give you bad framerates. If you're gonna do a benchmark, do it in single player. 2. the game is getting faster and faster. The devs are working hard to bring optimisation in the dev branch. First time I loaded Altis in the beta dev branch: 0 FPS with max draw distance and all settings on high, not gonna lie. Release dev branch: 40 FPS with max draw distance and almost everything on ultra. I can push to 60 FPS sometimes if I put it to 5000, which is also very good. I always keep my PC in tip-top shape. Update your drivers, (ALL DRIVERS), defragment non-SSD drives and tweak all the settings. My rig just in case: i7 2600, 550 Ti, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD. Btw, what an idiot the one that reported this thread just because you like the game. Pathetic.

Will the camera ever follow the head in A3? I'm SICK of leaning and seeing the camera that does not lean with the head. Also, when you die the camera gets locked to a certain position and does not move with the eyes (I've seen countless times the interior of my neck after dying, it's getting annoying) please DEVS take this in cosideration!

Engine limitation AFAIK. The most annoying thing is that light goes through walls. You don't necessarly need to have dynamic shadows in order to prevent that from happening in a game.

This is the way I like it - good ol' infantry gameplay.

Yep, distance sounds are nowhere near close to reality. Also, there are no low frequency sounds when you get distant from the source of the sound. I'm too gonna install JSRS when the full version is finished.

Exactly. My first thought when shooting in Arma 3 was "the sounds feel so weak", then I put up my headphones and cranked up the volume. The gun sounds started to feel so powerful I was kinda scared to pull the trigger, without mentioning that also the ambient sounds were more natural and pronounced.
