Arma 3

[Marmus]

Anybody here play Arma 3 during the USA East Coast evening times? (GMT +5:00)

I jump in now and then to blow off steam and kill stuff. I have no interest in being in a squad or anything too organized or committing to certain times to play...i just want to be a casual gamer....BUT I am getting sick of the asshats on the public servers. Would be nice to have access to some sort of private server that is well populated and has mature people. I am sure it exists somewhere....there are like 1,000s of players online in Arma3, but I seem to always be with the 12 year olds, LOL! Every once in a while I have gotten within a group that plays well and works together to achieve the mission, but those times seem to be rare.

There's sometimes some of the chaps over at ANON6 on.

That's an interesting insight into your weekend activities Injerin. :thumbsup:

LOL, as much as I like to dance, I feel that Arma3 was not and I repeat was not designed for Altis Life. Its sad really.

[ATAG_Slipstream]

In a sense I agree, but even Arma3 isn't built for the Arma3 engine so what do you really expect?

Your issue is that you're a hardcore military simulation fan and you can't understand why so many people choose to play AL over Arma3 online.

Personally, I like the thrill of being chased across the map in a pickup full of illegal substances with the police in close pursuit only to find when I get to the dealer that there is already a massive fire fight between civilian gangs and rebels, just as much as I like playing Arma3. Simply because its hilarious.

[ATAG_Freya]

I think that sounds like it could be fun! Is this 'altis life' a single player or multiplayer thing? I play alot of SP Arma, and have been hooked on a map called 'Pilgrimage' for far too long now...

I'd enjoy getting together with a group now and then as my old group doesn't seem to keen on much these days ..... ArmA 3 wise that is ...

Arma3 as a base is not so great, I run about 45 mods which make it so much better.

Its Multiplayer Freya, a lot of the servers run it.

Oh yeah, I'm keenly waiting to get that one. :)

Seriously 45 mods? That's quite a lot. Do you have a list of them on your site like you do for Falcon BMS? I wouldn't mind giving them a go.

[Injerin]

We have a mod collection that we put together using Playwith6, Playwith6 is a terrible program, but it has its advantages, such as keeping the mods up to date and being able to have a Mod set so that everyone can be sure to have the same ones. It is sometimes really un-stable and can be a pain. it takes getting used to.... But if you would like to give it a go:

Playwith6 download: http://withsix.com/download

Our Mod Set: http://play.withsix.com/Arma-3/collections/m-sFUdgJW0elxM7LbE_8tg/Injerin's-mod-collection/content

Here is another collection we use: http://play.withsix.com/arma-3/collections/5pZqWiGluk6tOaoJmI3N1g/RHS/content

I'll post a vid of some of the stuff we use! :)

[ATAG_Slipstream]

Nice stuff Injerin! Thankyou!

I like a challenge, so I'm sure I'll get it going and probably destroy my monitor if it gets unstable. :thumbsup:

Looking forward to the video :)

:salute:

Wow, that is some awesome stuff! I have stayed away from mods. I used that Six Updater thingy for Arma2.....it is evil, lol. I never knew what it was downloading and one day I discover my entire hard drive was full. So I deleted Arma2 and never played again, lol!

I suppose if you play on one server and have a defined set of mods. It would be fine. My problem in Arma2 was that I was searching different public servers and download every mod known to man, just so I could join the server and check it out.

But your video is very compelling.....I may need to investigate.

In earlier times (ArmaI and II) I played the CTI Proman http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=25284. But for ArmA III I need a new PC first.

But the CTI is a really nice thing. A good server for that is http://angryinsects.de/...sadly only german.

[Marmus]

aurgh.....I installed that d@mnable Playwith6 program.....now it is downloading away all those d@mn mods in your collection.

No idea if I have it setup correctly. Everything says for Arma2. But changed the directories to Arma3...hope I got them correct. (just giving you a hard time)


Any tutorials on how to properly deal with this *&%*^% thing?

Pretty gutted that I cant seem to play ARMA 3. Downloaded it a month ago during the sale but every time I try to run it I get an error message that says something about TrackIR. Any ideas?

Is your TIR up to date?

[diziet]

Don't use trackir! I use freetrack

What exactly is the error? An error with TrackIR shouldn't affect Arma 3 at all.

[diziet]

I'll have a look tonight and write down the exact error message...

[diziet]

We'll, strangely enough the problem decided to resolve itself! I installed facetrack noir and there was a big arma 3 update as well. Perhaps I'll never know. I am now merrily being shot and killed by enemies I can't see... Just like when I started flying clod! B-)

Hi all,

I'm debating about picking up ARMA 3 but I don't know if my computer will be able to run it.

My specs are as follows:
GTX 750M (2 GB version)
Intel I7 quadcore at 2.6 GHz (not sure on specific model)
16 GB of Ram
Windows 7 64-Bit

Cheers,
Eagle

I play alot of arma 3 and its various mods (mostly king of the hill and breaking point) . I have an OC'd i5-3570k (4.6ghz), 8 gig of ram, and a gtx 760 2gb, and sadly arma 3 is one of the few games that can bring my system to its knees. The arma games are sooo demanding BUT the good news is they did make it very scalable without looking like garbage so there are alot of graphics settings that you can tweak that will make it perform better for you (view distance and object count are the 2 huge ones) Just be careful with setting graphics options to low, this generally offloads them from the gpu and makes your cpu work even harder. It is best to set things to medium+ if they can't be turned off altogether for best performance. In the end I can guess that you could get it running acceptably on your pc but if your like me I can bet it will just leave ya itching for an upgrade so it will run better. :)

Well it's a laptop so I can't really upgrade it at all. And I don't really want to get the game and then realize I can't play the game. :grrr: I am not sure where to go to be honest.

While I have since upgraded to a 970GTX, I previously ran ARMA III with a 560ti and a AMD Phenom II 965 CPU. I had very acceptable frame rates, BUT, you need to do some tweaks, change some .ini settings and also set your in game graphics options to take as much load off your CPU as possible. ARMA III is VERY CPU demanding. Here is a guide to help out http://wiki.day0.com.au/ArmA_3_Performance_Tweaks_and_Settings_Guide I don't play DAYZ, but this guide is also good for ARMA in general.

If you do pick it up and want someone to play with, hit me up. I'd love to get some more trigger time in ARMA.

I apologize, I meant to convey the fact that you could indeed run it with your current setup to some extent. The question is will you be happy with the visual quality you are left to play with? But as I said arma scales down quite well so it will more than likely be tolerable for you. I'd wait for a sale personally, they tend to drop the price quite a bit.

Hi DS,

Thank you very much for the feedback. From what I consider acceptable and what others consider acceptable is probably different (I probably have lower standards because I can deal with 20 FPS fine) so I'll look into the tweaks when I get it. When I do get it, I'll hit you up and we can do stuff online.

No need to apologize, the frustration was more directed at me than you. I am sorry if my message conveyed a frustration at you. I think I'll follow your advice and getting when a sale goes on and just be content currently with Iron Front 1944 and mess around with the mission editor.

Thanks to both of you providing advice for me, I really appreciate it.
