ArmA III Final released 09/12

I also looking for an Arma clan but time zone is the major limiting factor. I am GMT+8. US groups that meet on Sunday night means Monday morning for me.  Servers in Europe have bad pings for me. My best bet are Australian groups.

Maybe we could stagger sessions...... I am GMT-6.

Holy crap, you're 6 hours west of me even!  Where are you, Asia?  Singapore?

[jomni]

Yup. Singapore. Love your banner.

5pm Monday? Sheeesh....don't you people work?

[JudgeDredd]

Bugger.

Seems it's my system. What I don't get is why the infantry mission is solid and yet the other two I've tried slowdown to a crawl!

Oh well. Maybe I'll do a reinstall.

Crap!  My mistake.  It's 8pm EST (5pm PST.  Everyone knows us tree huggers on the west coast don't work.)

[JudgeDredd]

Please, pretty please, can someone load the Drones Showcase mission in the game and report back here that's it's working alright...my system is acting like a 386 when I try and load the mission...and I've uninstalled and reinstalled!

[Silent Disapproval Robot]

Works just fine on my system.  The only time I see a real drop in framerates in SP or MP is when a big explosion occurs and there are a lot of particle effects on screen at once.

[JudgeDredd]

Strangely enough, it's fine now.

I'm talking it was proper "1 frame every 10 seconds" slow!

I reset the graphics options to high and played some missions and they were fine. I then went back to the details and upped them (let it choose and (thankfully) it choose ultra) and everything is fine.

Go figure.

Thanks anyway...don't know what that was.

Nice to see that AI driving is still as atrocious as it was in ArmA 2. Used the editor to set up a simple single tank platoon patrol mission this morning. Didn't even have any AI opposition, was just trying to set up end mission triggers. On one attempt, I saw two of the AI tanks drive right into each other and the tank that got hit went flying through air. On the second try, 2 of the AI tank did a half way decent job of getting up a hill via road. One tank was able to continue on, the other got stuck in some trees.....The third tank somehow flipped over and the whole crew disembarked. Never even made it close to the objective on any of the attempts.....

Then just now was doing the tank assault showcase, was going well, until I accidentally bumped the command tank at 10 kph and it backed flipped through the air for 50 feet and became disabled.

Guess the conclusion is to stick with infantry only style missions....*sigh*

Or multiplayer.  Have you tried how vehicles perform with PlannedAssualt missions?  I haven't done so yet.
