Unfortunately, due to some changes with arma 3 that many of us are still getting used to we weren't able to port everything. However, we do have ambient radio chatter as a point of discussion thanks to you. We will update everyone on this in due time, although it may not be included anytime soon.

So, while I don't have a question as to wether or not one or both of my pc's will run ArmA 3, I would like to note that I was able to start up arma 3 on the following rig and got a maximum of 30 frames per second. CPU: Intel i-7 3630K 6 core processor turbo boosted to 3.8GHz Memory: 16 GB of 1600 MHz DDR3 Ram MBoard: Asus Sabertooth X79 Sound: Creative Labs SB Audigy SE GPU: Nvidia Geforce 8600 GTS And here are the general settings No post processing (even caustics) Object, terrain, shadow detail, etc. Set to low (or disabled where applicable) Resolution set to 1400x900 (due to my monitor) Rendering resolution set to 83% of screen resolution It's pretty hit and miss as to whether or not the game actually starts. Sometimes it give me an error about there not being enough resources. Still, I'm entirely impressed that the 8600 GTS can get 30 frames out of this game at all, especially considering it turns 9 years old this coming April. So if anyone was wondering if Arma 3 would run on a 8600 GTS, yes. It will.

Not yet. We're hard at work we promise. Be patient. A moderator would get on to you for this post, btw. It's taboo to ask when it'll be out.

I feel like a better option to sway would be a recoil multiplier. Maybe not arcady amounts like 2x for a fully fatigued soldier, but 1.5x or 1.4x. BI, would this be possible with the new recoil?

This has little to do with fatigue. It has been like this since Alpha. The only thing holding your breath does in terms of fatigues is hold postpone your recovery.

Right. Anyone who's done actual studies or read through them would know that if you have 2 million copies sold and 30,000 active players, 100 voters is a such a small fraction of a decent sample size, that even if these results DID accurately represent the playerbase's opinion on the sway (which I feel like is better in some ways and worse in some ways than the sway with the old system), we wouldn't be able to know that from this sample size. Which means that A: no one really noticed THAT big of a difference, B: they don't know that the survey exists, C: they don't care enough to answer, or D: they don't think that it affects the gameplay any more than the previous system.

So what you're saying is that the sway is ridiculous. I definitely concede on that. I thought it was stupid excessive with the old system, but weapon resting helped solve it then. I will test to see if it still does. (I.E. i'm grabbing the biggest mg I can). As far as the default loadouts go, yeah, those should be within the weight limits. I'd say that the weight limits be expanded to make sure that default loadouts aren't so heavy that sprinting is unavailable.

As for the other dissenting opinions, I don't speak for BI; however, I can tell you that I like this system more than the last one. Why? because it makes you think. You have to think about your mission and what you need. You can't just be a one man army and I like that. Yes, the fatigue system CAN be disabled by script (not mod) and BI are (if you'd look at the dev-branch changelog) making sure that works properly in the future. I'm not saying that the system is perfect, but if you take a moment to think, you'll be fine. I'm not trying to fanboy here either. It won't take 4x longer to get somewhere just because you have to jog. It might take 1.5 times as long, but, unless you're so loaded that you can't run, you'll be able to keep up with everyone else. There is an advantage to having a lighter load. Yes, the sway sucks. I admit that. But again, if you keep your sprinting down to when you absolutely have to, it will not be a problem.

I actually have to say that I like the system. I feel like there are some things that need to be changed, but here are my reasons from my testing. - Sprinting punishes the player and should be carefully planned or used in times of emergency - Jogging for too long in terrain that is too rough punishes the player, while jogging on flat land or roads provides for is less punishing than the old system. - One man army loadouts are no longer possible - The bar is nice, and makes things easier to observe Things I don't like - I feel like the weight system is a bit too restricting and doesn't provide for good gameplay for one man missions (e.g. without a team, be it AI or player) - I feel like passive resting should be a bit more pronounced in order to combat the new sway - I feel like holding your breath should steady your aim faster - I feel like their needs to be specific LMG/MMG holding animations (actual hipfire) - I feel like deployed weapons with a bipod should completely negate recoil. - I feel like increased fatigue should reduce the ability to control recoil, not increase sway (although, I'm sure that would be harder to do) I'll do some more testing, but I feel like this system is overall better than the previous one, which I felt was too punishing for everything. In terms of the criticism, I'm noticing on here a distinct lack of what exactly you don't like. I understand that it's not a perfect system, and I'm well aware that there are probably better systems out there. However, I do like this one for arma, because it's different from COD's or BF's sprint system and provides a more enjoyable experience (imo) than the previous system.

Issue has been fixed. Greatly appreciated :)

Hi, I would like to bring attention to the issue addressed in my latest Feeback ticket, It seems as though something happened with this particular mission and the supports available. I realize this has been assigned, but considering that it is a game crash, it could affect players wanting to replay the showcase missions (as I often enjoy doing).

Jester814's arma 3 editing tutorials are here. This is where I started. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmfRxJX4Bs7FkhsducKrEmH5TBphUYzJV Killzone kid's website has some awesome scripting tutorials and stuff. http://killzonekid.com/ Also, when you place something in the editor, hit the "More Info" tab at the bottom of the box. It's really helped me out recently. Keep in mind, there's an entire section of the forums dedicated to this. https://forums.bistudio.com/forum/161-arma-3-editing/

Personally, I think that this new system should be somewhat layered over the old one. Sprinting would absolutely kill your endurance after a 25-75m and certain kits could completely eliminate it. Jogging would reduce your endurance for an overloaded character, but only stagnate your fatigue with medium and light loads. Walking or sitting still would regenerate fatigue. Anyone who used ST stamina bar knew how to cope with the old system. And I feel like this new system is only an improvement if it becomes an optional layer over the old.

It also doesn't help that only a few of the official servers have the [official] tag. Nor does it help that some of the older official servers without the tag aren't updated. http://arma3.com/servers

Did you verify your game cache? Uninstall and re-install? Latest video drivers? etc. If none of those work, please post a feedback tracker ticket with a link to your video and maybe an rpt. Other than that, I don't know what to tell you.

looks to me like you're running a mod that conflicts with lighting vectors. Try it in vanilla, and then see if there are any mods that could be causing this issues by turning them off one by one. Any shadow (shadow texture, not ENB) mods you may have or community made lighting configs could be the issue, so if you knowingly run a mod like that, I'd start there.

You're very right. Not that Arma III's and Arma II's campaigns don't include some context. In the first episode of the Arma III campaign, you fight for the most strategically advantageous base on the island besides the airbase only a few missions after making your way to friendly forces. Unfortunately, it ends up being a "waste of time" due to Miller's team sabotaging the comms equipment in the base to call for reinforcements. Later, you meet up with some guerilla's in order to establish some supply lines, which ends poorly. The last mission of the same episode has you fighting for a beachhead for NATO forces to land in Agia Marina which fails due to CSAT's invasion of Stratis. In the second episode, you're called to scavenge for supplies in order to supply the FIA with fuel for their vehicles, and keep an airfield busy for NATO's actual invasion. When NATO forces take the international airfield, you're tasked with taking down enemy camps to hamper reinforcements coming from the northwest, which would end up being behind the main attack force if left unchecked. It's not that there's no context in the ArmA games, is just that you have to put it there (or play the campaign). Arma III's campaign, while limited, actually doesn't focus on Captain Miller and his UKS- sorry, CTRG team. You're a Corporal, a grunt. Only one of the few surviving members of a NATO peacekeeping force in an island nation which (as far as we know) is the closest island for CSAT to stage an invasion point to Mainland Europe. Altis' location and it's abundance of Airfields, really improve the islands overall strategic value both as a deterrent to NATO forces, and as a staging point for an invasion.

There's various ways to do this. Setting your own difficulty to Elite will lock your camera to first person. The same goes for the server difficulty. There's also probably a way to do so via scripting, but I don't know how to do this.

The Helicopters DLC has the slingloading showcase, and new helicopter time trials in the challenges. Also, in multiplayer, there's a handful of multiplayer support missions that have you and your teammates supporting via helicopter. Anything that was put in with the DLC should have it's respective DLC icon next to it.

Arma 3 Coop: Vietnam -devil's edit- So, today, I'd like to present to you an new version of the A3C Vietnam modification.

@scott: Ultimately buying Arma 2 (and Operation Arrowhead) just to play 2.6 is a bit much in my opinion. That being said, If there's other things about Arma 2 that you feel like you'd enjoy and would be worth the $25 investment, it's your money. On the model question, you can import the following file types: .3ds, .obj, .fbx, .asf, .bvh. If you have any more questions about what formats models should be in, reference this page or this portion of the forums.

I've pm'd you.

That's for mortars, however Artillery pieces have much more selection of shells: All artillery ammo (SPG edition): 155mm HE shells - standard shell. Good against Infantry, and light vehicles. May disable heavy armor with close hit 155mm smoke shells - Used for concealment, no damage to anything 155mm guided - HE shells again, however I'm not sure how to guide these 155mm Laser Guided - Still HE, should be able to guide with laser, but have been unable to do so. 155mm mine cluster - throws a lot of anti-personnel mines on the ground in an area of effect 155mm AT mine cluster - same as above, but these mines will work on vehicles instead of infantry 155mm Cluster - Highly effective shell, excellent for large concentrations of enemies, but you only have 2 of them so use them sparingly Then for the MRLS, you have the 230mm HE rockets. Extremely devastating.
