  1. i think I was using the 64 bit version by default. I looked at my task manager and Arma was using 5.7 odd GB's of RAM. I think it was running better..hard to say. I was also having trouble moving after i respawned. Still I can't wait to try out I&A on a 64bit server with a 64bit client. I really hope it cures the 1 FPS bug too.
  2. 310 views and only 16 replies. A hot topic indeed but come on you lurkers post what you think. Post your objection to this stupid revive system and perhaps we can get it changed. I can't be bothered to play I&A on Ahoy servers unless this rubbish revive system is changed.
  3. The best way to do it is to get a "suitable" person in your team/squad to get a good over-view of the AO and mark the map for you as accurately as possible. This actually is quite tricky sometimes as the person marking the map needs to read the map and look at the actual features on the ground. You can also provide mortar support for a larger squad or get you FSG team leader to relay targets to you from other squads as he will hear other squad leaders on the radio. We used to give mortar support to anybody via side chat but that is discouraged now as it leads to too much chatter on the side channel which people find annoying and distracting. If you get a good spotter you can totally annihilate the bad guys and get hundreds of kills. However be careful its easy to nuke friendlies too.
  4. I have another official gripe. The chance of revive thing is rubbish. Can we have this turned off please so there is a 100% chance of being revived by a medic? This feature where you have a 50%-50% chance of being revived by a medic is incredibly disruptive to maintaining the cohesion of a squad or group. Even if you have a medic in your squad or have one nearby. If you can't be revived then you have to re-spawn and run the gauntlet of flying back to your squad mates then meeting up with them. Opening up many more chances of getting perma-killed again. Often this means spending literally hours crashing in helicopters and re-spawning and huge walks from the LZ back to the AO (which will often be nearly over). I understand there is the "realism" aspect of it to consider but I would gladly forgo a bit of "realism" to get rid of this massive pain in the butt that is this ridiculous feature. I have been playing on a server where anybody can revive a dead player, however there is an incentive to play medic as only medics can restore full health. There is also para-dropping available. This makes the game play much more fun. However I can concede that perhaps this is way too much in the way of freedom of game play for AHOY I&A servers. Para-dropping is more than a little silly and would dramatically change I&A game play, so I am happy not to have this. I can even concede to only medics being able to revive dead players is fine really, I am happy with that. However PLEASE get rid of the chance of revival thing. It is seriously putting me off from playing I&A these days.
  5. Hi everybody, I don't post here much and should try harder, I love Arma and you people are great! BUT I want to have an official grumble. EU2. It's usually empty. It's usually dark and it's usually foggy. This is a massive shame as its a great map. Dark AND foggy really is rubbish most of the time anyway on any map, when you can't see the enemy until you are 200 meters away from them and they can see you at 400 meters that is not realistic or anything, its just rubbish. So many times I have needed to get out my thermals just to see the enemy 200 meters away then go back to my weapon and shoot at the fog hoping I might hit something....Terrible. The Tanoa map is totally different from Altis and makes I&A much harder which I really like. I&A on Altis is often a spectator sport as 60 player steam-roller the AI . So if you get to the AO late the AO's are pretty much empty. Tanoa requires co-ordinated squad play and skilled players to succeed. Using armor is pretty much useless, so are long range sights and rifles, and guided AT. That's all good with me. The big problem is the fog and the dark, it just makes I&A on Tanoa way too hard which I think really puts people off from going on it. At the heart of my gripe is the fact that there is never any admins on it that can make it un-dark and un-foggy. I think the server should be checked regularly for fog and de-fogged. I would also like to see it re-booted every day to make sure that at lets say 7:00 pm UK time its early morning game time. So that for real life gaming prime time in the UK and Europe it stays light until the wee-small hours of the morning when most people are tucked-up in bed. Hopefully that will bring people back to Tanoa. At them moment its a total waste of this great new map and also EU2.
  6. The problem does seem to be be much worse when the server is full, especially at the weekend. I played for 4 or 5 hours last night after about 8:00pm uk time until about 1:00 am and the game only crashed once just after 1:00am. I was just about to stop playing anyway so I wasn't too bothered. However that time it was not due to the PhysX3_x86.dll. I got the message that I got kicked but I think this was a server glitch rather than a punishment as I wasn't doing anything wrong. I think that single player mode is stable too. I have had the PhysX3_x86.dll crash doing Wasteland but I hardly ever play that so I can't say for sure.
  7. My game client crashes A LOT when playing I&A. Its driving me mental and I might cry next time it happens. Its totally random. I am not alone. Its the PhysX3_x86.dll crash! I have been reading about this on various forums and so far it seems NOBODY knows WHY this happens. I have tried ALOT of things to get it to work: A clean reinstall from steam Vsynch on/off Effects low/high,setting my CPU to default speeds(not overclocked) Removing that PhysX3_x86.Dll from the Steam library repository and getting it again using Steam Changing the post processing engines Getting the latest ATI drivers and the beta ones Getting the latest PhysX drivers from Nvidia Posting my .rpt files to my local MP! Putting one foot in a tub of cold water when playing Sacrificing a small bird etc etc etc The bugger still crashes all the time. The game client is more unsable than a pile of Jenga brick at the world Jenga tournament just before the LAST BLOCK IS PULLED OUT. That's FREEKIN UNSTABLE! Does ANYBODY have a CLUE about WHY this happens and HOW TO FIX IT???????????? Help!
  8. Hi folks, Firstly I have a confession to make. When I first tried to play Arma III I&A on ahoy EU servers, I tried to fly helicopters.... I have a sucession of DISASTERS! Straight off the bat.....(I think I was very unlucky mind you).....I got kicked. It was for my own good...lol My unluck streak went like this: One was when I pulled up and to the right and smacked into another full mowhawk that was right up my arse. Boom! I killed almost everybody on the server. I got shot down, I smacked into a hill, another two full chopper wiped out. I smacked into a full Marshal with a full chopper...How? I dunno......All this happened in the time it takes to get and load up a new chopper 4 times :-O. Needles to say I got kicked. My only excuse, it looked easier than it is to fly a chopper and I was a MASSIVE NOOB, and I hadn't figured out the chat by then so I couldn't hear everybody telling me what a knob I was being. lol So SORRY for being a deadly teamkilling, chopper smashing NOOB....... Everybody must think I am a PROPER CHARLIE! Honest, I am not a Charlie, I am a fairly intelligent computer gameing nut....honest :-) 400 hours of game time later...... I can fly em alright now! ;-) I do love to fly helicopters and I fly the KA50 Blackshark and the Huey in DCS world in a virtual squadron now and again. www.159thgar.com I had to take a flight test and EVERYTHING for that....That includes reading the 500 page manual for the KA50 too lol. I also fly RC helicopters, I have a MCPX, and a MCPX-BL, and a Blade 450 3D driven with a DX7 (if that means anything to anybody) I used to fly real gliders too and got to early solo/cross country standard....That was a long time ago now. Back to Arma 3, its pretty much what I have been waiting for for all these years (since PC games were invented), an integrated multiplayer battfield, if only it had the level of simulation that DCS world has with the ground elements Arma 3 has, coupled with the stability and scope of World of Warcraft. That would be a perfect game. However as there aren't any groups that could spend One Hundred Million credits on it...It probably won't ever happen. In the I&A servers I love flying the choppers, especially the blackfoot! I also love tank driving and playing AT/AA or Grenadier. So far I have been loving the game, it really is the best game I have ever played, apart from World of Warcraft ;-) If only I could stop my game crashing out all the time.....See my other posting in the Aram3 forum.... So to sum up SORRY for being a deadly teamkilling, chopper smashing NOOB....... again I haven't done it since "the kick"....(up the arse).... sorted me out! lol Cheers! See you people in the game
