  1. My issue may be twofold. Firstly: When I exit Arma 3 I am able to click only 3 or 4 times (closing open windows on my desktop for example) before my mouse click function no longer works. I am still able to move the mouse but cannot click. To fix it I use ctrl-alt-delete, and then am able to press "cancel" when that windows comes up. From that point on I can utilize the mouse normally. Secondly, and this is where it may possible that the two issues might be related: While playing Arma 3, I might set my headset down to leave for 2 minutes or maybe 20 minutes only to find that my mic (Astro A50) has become muted. Also for example, I might restart Arma 3 and find that Teamspeak has timed out and tries to reconnect over and over and over with no success. I have exhausted the Teamspeak forums with no luck. I have created a thread on the Steam forums as well hoping that Steam might be at fault, while finding a solution. I have researched all of the Windows updates, drivers and options such as wake timers, performance options, and so on to no avail. I have completely reformatted my Windows drive and reinstalled Windows 7, fresh. Thanks for helping

    Windows locks after exiting Arma 3

    Solved,...I think It's been a few weeks and I haven't had Teamspeak/von, mute since I made changes. The problem is I'm not sure which change made the difference. I can only guess that it was in the power options. If anyone else has this issue in the future hopefuly this might help. ,..Admin's, feel free to close this thread.

    Mutiple Issues

    Hello Spark23 I don't have a solid answer for you but I had a problem where my mic would mute when I would leave the PC for a time. It was so random because I could leave for 1 minute, mic might be muted, might not. I could leave for an hour, mic might be muted, might not. Geeze, no pattern at all !!! Like I said I don't have a solid answer persa but I think what fixed it was by going into the power settings. Since I have an Astro A50, is is essentially a wireless device even though it is plugged in. (check your USB ports to ensure that they are not in a sleep state) Hope this helps
  4. Have you tried testing with Vanilla and then adding your mods in one by one? luck

    Challenges of Jungle/Marine Warfare in Tanoa

    I am wondering if there will be swamps, lakes, rivers, and maybe caves. Sorry if I missed that if that's posted.

    AI can see through tree tops?

    I undertand from reading through (scimming) this thread that bullets travelling through, and in a straight line, to the other side of a tree or bush is going to be "hit & miss". Yes I meant to punn it. As an example I was oh maybe 3 or 4 hundred yards shooting through the top of a pine tree with a 7.62 and could NOT hit the AI standing ther laughing at me. I could see the clumps of pine needles flying away but no contact on the enemy.

    Wasteland Arma 3 Singleplayer?

    My buddy and I want to play Wasteland with only the two of us so my question might be directed to the same objective as the OP. Can you play with just one or two players and fight AI or is this mission style for online players only? (no AI?)

    [SP] Pilgrimage

    That is so true! Playing on MP and getting anywhere from 60 to 70 fps, while then playing SP in almost the same area and getting between 20 and 30. Seems to be no rhyme or logical reason. I know this has nothing to do with Pilgrimage but just to point out the frustration of players in general. If a PC is based on 1's and 0's and the basic concept is "on or off" then why the inconsistency? Just an observation, as old as it might be.

    [SP] Pilgrimage

    Yup, long load times are definitely the long mod list ( your choice there ) ( I thought the Mag Repack was broken after the latest BI patch ). The streaking issue?,...we are hoping the scripting will get fixed as Catmandos and/or Rydygier find the time. In the meantime we are having as much fun watching things f@#$ up as we do playing a polished version, LOL

    Why Bohemia Why?

    ...@Bad Benson any chance on a fix for your EM mod. It works sometimes but after playing a while the climb makes you fly into the air. One of my favorite mods especially for urban combat. PS: Your MidTex still works perfectly!

    [SP] Pilgrimage

    @heyvern69 First of all let me say I had a good chuckle at your post! I guess I was laughing mostly at the exact duplicate issues I'm having. getting blown up in your vehicle?,...don't get blown up!,...LOL. Sorry, I'm laughing quite hysterically now,...LOL On a more serious note though, what mods are you and your buddy using. There are some mods that should only be used with the server while other mods can be safely (fps issues stemming from conflicts) used. I might be able to solve your long load times if I see a problem with your use of mods. The other issues you are experiencing are the result of the reworked mission by Catmandos. Many of us are hoping he can put his talents to good use for us. You could always revert back to Rydygiers original version for the time being.

    Set your NI or your NV CP "Power Management Mode" setting to, Prefer Maximum Performance.

    JSRS3: DragonFyre

    I'm not sure I understand you correctly so I'll answer with what I think you need. Firstly, the sound mod has nothing to do with any movements, or in this case, issues with movements. I think you are stuck in free-look because you double tapped your "alt" key. Double tap it again and you should be able to function normally.

    [SP] Pilgrimage

    @Catmandos We've been waiting for you! My buddy and I are hardcore Pilgrimage MP players. We have found workarounds for most of the MP issues that arise while playing but getting them fixed will be great. I think Ryd' said he was swamped with other stuff so having others step in is going to be a big help. If you need testers, let me know. Also, some players, myself included have asked whether other maps can be made to work with Pilgrimage. Is it possible to make it work and if so I would like to lend a hand if there is anything I can do, i.e: placement of chapels.
  17. @TPW. Everything besides animals works great and I can certainly live without them. Arma 3 is still maturing so I would not bust your *&^% any harder than you do until the game updates calm down. We don't want you or any other mod-makers to get dejected and throw in the towel. That would be a loss!
  18. To round out the visuals I would like to recommend... http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=19524 ...I'm not sure but I think bcombat will/does not work in MP either very well or not at all. It does great in SP so I stand by it but if you want to experiment for best results I would also suggest... http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=24080 Lastly, be careful how heavy you set TPW because to much can tax your fps drastically. But TPW is a must regardless! TWP also has a AI suppression mod http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=19467 All of these need to be studied carefully so that they don't conflict with each other. I have fiddled for hours trying to find the perfect balance so keep posting if you have issues.

    [SP] Pilgrimage

    @Major-Stiffy Try this http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=25875
  20. FYI,....I too have found that the interaction menu does not work, at least in SP. Have not tested in MP. When I press the key bindings I only see the small red circle.
  21. I play a lot of Pilgrimage and I place a lot of markers down so that I can keep track of things. The issue is that when I place a new marker (label) and hit enter, I get a double entry, one on top of the other. If I then hover and hit delete, I can remove one entry but it will be an entry that I put down previously. It's bet tricky to explain so I will try to upload a couple of ss's if needed. I had this issue with AGM as well but just wasn't 100% positive. Now I am quite sure that it is (ACE). Thanks for listening

    Windows locks after exiting Arma 3

    I'm not sure what to make of this. Does Steam force anything in Windows to sleep? ...I read this as "when Windows wakes, Steam will continue...." I have absolutely nothing set in Windows that would make sleep an option.

    Windows Update Hack !

    Microsoft has decided to release updates that will EAT your memory and processor while your system runs. This was not a mistake. These updates are designed to constantly collect data about your computer for Windows 10. One of them will act like ADWARE and eventually pop up offering you Windows 10. They will run in the background automatically with absolutely no control from the user to shut them down. They can use up to 25-35% of a quad core processor, 35-50% of a dual core and will run while you are using your computer regardless of that use OR when the system has a monitor sleep mode but the power profile is not set to sleep or hibernate.. The power profile any FS computer should be set to run HIGH PERFORMANCE in order to avoid any power management by MS during gaming operation. This effects BOTH WINDOWS 7 and WINDOWS 8 To shut this nonsense down and make sure it does not come back, do the following NOTE: THIS LINK PROVIDES MORE INFORMATION FOR WINDOWS 8 http://www.ghacks.net/2015/04/17/how-to-remove-windows-10-upgrade-updates-in-windows-7-and-8/ In Windows 7: 1. CONTROL PANEL - PROGRAMS AND FEATURES - on the side, click VIEW INSTALLED UPDATES 2. In the list that appears for the list of installed WINDOWS UPDATES, scroll down and locate the following updates in WINDOWS 7 KB2952664 KB2990214 KB3021917 KB3035583 VERIFY EACH KB NUMBER BEFORE CONTINUING 3. UNINSTALL EACH UPDATE YOU FIND - NOTE: When asked to reboot select LATER and continue until all those are uninstalled and remove them in the ORDER shown above THEN REBOOT Go back and check to see if those updates are all gone in the system.. if they are then check and see if you can still connect to Windows Update... IF BOTH ARE TRUE SKIP TO #6 BELOW AND HIDE THE UPDATES AT WU. You are done If KB2952664 has come back or appears again, OR you cant connect to Windows Update and get a ERROR continue with #4 below after uninstalling KB2952664 again Here is the kicker.. if you UNINSTALL KB2952664 many systems cant connect to Windows update anymore! Really MS? Punishment or dimwit strong-arm tactics? 4. Run this MS FIX IT tool http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/windows-update-error-8000ffff [ignore the reference to Vista] Run with the check box aggressive mode unchecked, let it finish, close and then rerun the tool again with the check in AGGRESSIVE 5. Once finished, reboot The above repairs Windows update from not being able to run but BE AWARE it will CLEAN/FLUSH the Windows update 'history' list but wont remove the update list 6. Once rebooted run Windows Update in MANUAL MODE do not let MS download and install updates automatically.. the updates I noted above should reappear in the list including KB2952664 right click them all and select HIDE KB2952664 KB2990214 KB3021917 KB3035583 you will no longer be prompted to install those hidden nonsense updates unless MS decides to try and slip them back in again and Windows Update will work fine For Windows 8 the process is similar.. you can review the link above to remove this garbage EDIT: If the above FIXIT tool fails and you still can not connect to WU, Try this tool: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/947821/ Download the correct version x32 or x64 and let it repair WU. It will request you install a KB and then it will run a aggressive scan to fix issues. It can take 10 minutes and up to 3 hours to run sometimes so if it appears to hang at like 85%, its still running.. reboot when it finished and recheck WU and don't worry about the MSfixit tools One other option I found worked on one system, change the dropdown selection for how you get updates to: CHECK FOR UPDATES BUT LET ME CHOOSE TO DOWNLOAD/INSTALL see if it connects. If it does and after changes are made you can switch it back to NEVER CHECK FOR UPDATES

    Windows locks after exiting Arma 3

    I thought that since I am the only user I would be the administrator? If that is not the case I have "propertied" all the .exe's relevant and set them all to Run As Administrator. Will test. I'm afraid I don't quite know what you mean. Can You clarify? I only have a simple external HD which I have had for many years. I also have TrackIR but it is set to start manually so during my testing I prefer to leave it off. Besides, if I use it I only use it while driving or flying. I have meticulously reviewed my "power plan" and am quite sure it is properly set to maximize performance. Neither, I simply log on to a TS ip which is owned by another user. Absolutely no screensaver/slideshow here. Something has crossed my mind though and that is, due to the fact that I am fanatical about running my PC as lean and clean as possible, I may have something switched off that prevent proper function of the headset being allowed to run as it should. It may seem far fetched but then again it is a PC:d: Thanks very much, and keep the suggestions coming.
  25. Apologies if this has been covered. Is there a way to adjust the weather or to be more specific, the fog. I find it a bit heavy especially with clear skies in the middle of the day. I have tried to adjust it in Arma but no change. Thanks
