  1. I was in editor looking around and was hugely impressed by the coastal road and cliff faces. The cities are dense and life like and equally impressive achievement. Hope the docks/city in the south comes to life as you continue to work on the map. A very small thing was that petrol garages/stations did not seem to contain any pumps. Thanks for WIP release and letting us look around. I will continue to explore and let me know if details like this are helpful to you.

    Body clean-up between rounds would be nice. In all game modes, most notably Raid and Clash where no respawn is available.

    AMD Radeon R9 280 + AMD Phenom II X4 840 = Low FPS?

    It is the AMD processor that is letting you down. Your laptop with Intel i5 is hands down going to run Arma 3 better which utilises CPU rather than GPU. I moved last year from AMD 3.6GHz cpu to Intel i5 3.4GHz chip and got a 10-15 fps bump straight off. I actually have the same GPU as you as well. I found that no amount of tinkering could get the AMD cpu to match the performance of the Intel cpu in running Arma 3.

    "You were kicked off the game." Really tired of this!

    Again I have not said that this is the one and only solution and I have no attitude, other than to the vitriloic response I received for suggesting something that worked only for me, having done all that was asked by BI as has original OP with no success in rejoining servers. This included a reinstall of steam and game and having my fellow server admin watch my connection, as you suggest, with no success. I do not want this post to become about my 'stupid' and 'crap' idea. I do hope the OP finds his solution and soon and maybe posts about it too for others in same position.

    "You were kicked off the game." Really tired of this!

    Yet it was the only thing that got me back onto Arma 3 servers and the specific server I administrate. I in no way say that this is the fix, but that, only this worked for me; having done many trouble shooting options as OP has been asked to do with no success. This included deleting Arma 3, Steam and all associated files from previous hard drive and re installing everything several times. I still could not join Arma 3 servers. I did not buy the ssd to fix a problem I bought it as an upgrade of my system and took this break in being able to play to install the hardware. It is not how i would have expected to fix my issue but it came about as a consequence of the addition of new drive, again where nothing else had. At least I offered something different from the tired suggestions of others who did not read OP feedback ticket and suggested what had already been tried with out success!

    "You were kicked off the game." Really tired of this!

    I had a similar issue of repeated crashes and kicks from a modded server, one I actually was an admin on. I also raised a ticket on feedback tracker with BI and had much the same responses. I had also repeated all the steps you list in your ticket several times with no success. In the end it was only the addition of a new ssd to my PC and complete fresh install of Steam and Arma 3 that enabled me to get onto the server I needed to be on. This may not be any help at all to you, but if you have the where with all to buy and fit new drive just for steam and Arma it might work as it did for me.

    im stuck please help me!

    I would suggest that by what i can see in second picture that you do not have BattleRoyale mod loaded, which would be why all servers show as red.

    Feedback tracker, Phabricator, Maniphest

    I am new to feedback tracker, and am having difficulty uploading my rpt folder to the page where i have created a new topic. It tells me it cannot accept that file, even thought this is the report format Arma3 has used to save my report files, which is a zipped folder. I am probably doing something wrong! Can some one give me some advice, as to best way to transfer rpt files and folders to the feedback page.

    launcher doesnt store mods where i told it to

    I have no issue with where my mod folder is stored, or even if it is stored twice! I do have an issue with not being able to readily identify the mod in question, because its name is replaced by Steam number ID. So my only option now is to google that number or open the folder and try and guess what i have got in there, (Thanks CUP for including a text doc. naming what you are)! There must be someway for these folders to have the names we know as identifiers rather than a string of numbers that tell steam something but do not inform the end user your customer. Maybe it should be a requirement that all steam workshop uploads contain a mod named text doc just as CUP included. I'd settle for that couple of extra clicks of delving ever deeper into the satanic depths of numeric steam named folders just to get an identifiable name!

    Stuck on Loading screen with sound

    I switch between different modded servers all day every day and not come across this. Any servers i have difficulty connecting to, i usually start by checking the mods are correct and same versions, if that seems in order i verify my arma3 in steam, close steam, restart computer and then re launch game. If it is a server i frequent often sometimes find clearing the mpmissionscache file helps usually c:\Users\ComputerName\AppData\Local\Arma3, this allows mission file to be re-downloaded on next connection. I'll repeat this until i can get in or i contact server host, where possible, for any troubleshooting.

    Stuck on Loading screen with sound

    It might be helpful to know what server you are trying to join, what mods are required and what mods you are loading? Whilst in most cases small cfg errors can be dismissed, maybe there is something required missing stopping you load?
