What's wrong with the textures and the lighting?

"theres actually a rather funny story about a friend of mine, who almost died IRL, because of bug in arma"

I want to hear it.

what is wrong with the textures and the lighting you ask, well, i suggesst you LOOK at them, and then you tell me. Anyway, this ticket is not about that. Or maybe it is. Maybe it's about everything that's wrong with arma. But in the first place, it's about the welcome screen causing motion sickness. The story? Alright, i'll tell it, but not now. I need to figure out how to start that campaign without the play button...

There's nothing wrong with them.

take a look at the ground textures or at your own player model, i think they are really low res, how come you think they look good? Not to mention the flickering and on/off popping all the time. But anyway, not about that here.

"theres actually a rather funny story about a friend of mine, who almost died IRL, because of bug in arma"

my god you are one of the best trolls i have ever seen.

if you kindly would take a look at my other tickets, you may notice i actually tried to deliver actual feedback until now. but you may consider that carefully taken steps, just to make this trolling ticket today...seriously, this community needs to learn how to take criticism to the game, what's up with that...even someone like dyslecxi started to rant out about what's still wrong with arma in his video about the action menu, of course, nobody dared to call him a troll. But thanks anyway Dr.Death, you made me had a laugh at least^^

Of course the ground textures look low-res when you push your face into the ground. Do you know how big the textures actually are?

i really don't care about how big they are, i just care about how they look and you don't need to push your face to the ground to notice that they are low res. and in a game, where you spent loads of time in the dirt, these textures really are annoying to me. and how do you defend the low res first person player model, or the constant flickering and on/off popping? you can't just keep arguing with the huge open world that arma delivers, if a developer wants to do such a game, great, but you have to deliver quality. if you're not capable of doing the job right, don't do it. i can't throw a broken product on the market and defend myself with how hard it is to do it right, it's not free 2 play, people pay money for this product.

i dont think the game is perfect. Actually, i think this may be the weakest relase of any game BIS has done to date. its THEIR fault that they got with no money when making arma and the whole community is asking for things like an engine replacement and new features added in VBS (a good example would be the realistic simulation of the eye sight focus, so that the zoom and the TPS mode can be deleted from the game).

I was just pointing out that this ticket is not relevant, not even to the good and actual complaints about the game (and the comfirmed features that never got in, like TOH flightmodel, shoting from passanger seat, and a railgun tank).

this may be the worst and most idiot ticket i have seen after the guys asking for underwater bases, SDV with Torpedos, Dual Wielding, and Military handgliders.

and just to be honest, i have replayed the campaign, there is no spinning background besides the chopper at the start doing a 180º and going north.

"this may be the worst and most idiot ticket i have seen [...]"

i'm starting to think the real troll here is you.
on the other hand...maybe it's just the unusual amount of bugginess in this game, that seems to attract the unusual amount of buggy brains like yours...(i'm calling you stupid).

for all others, just to clarify, i'm talking about the one time welcome screen, that appears when you first launch arma, after the campaign has downloaded. it will only appear once after the update.

"that seems to attract the unusual amount of buggy brains like yours...(i'm calling you stupid)"

Nope, you're definitely not the troll...

There is no reason to act so rude, i was calling the ticket being idiotic, not you, there is no reason to get so upset.

since the ticket was born from my feelings and thoughts, i felt offended.

and now that you know what i'm talking about (the not reappearing, one time welcome screen), you may recall, that its background actually was spinning, and if you want to read the whole introduction from top to bottom, you will most likely get dizzy as i got.

and since i felt, that this kind of totally unlogical design of UI was representational for many things that are wrong within arma, namely a total lack of understanding, how to make a game accessible and fluent to play, i posted this ticket. another good example is the missing play button for the campaign, they keep on doing the same kind of unneccessary mistakes, that just annoy people for no reason, since OPF. take the action menu, it hasn't changed for 10 years and is the same shit as it has ever been. they don't change it, because they don't understand, no one else would do that to potential customers, because you want to design a game in a way, that the program doesn't get between you and the gameplay, right?

you may want to see a doctor if you REALLY mean it with the ticket, i haven't seen someone get so dizzy so quickly.

still want to see more about how a friend of yours almost died because of a bug.

How could you all say this game is so buggy?! I mean, try to remember that the lauch was in september, NOT in march! And for the second, did you play the same campaign in Arma 2 as me ?!?!?! (because I read here that it's 'the weakest relase of any game BIS has done to date') I had to wait for 5 patch to finish the Arma 2 campaign. I mean, I could play this first episode with only one bug! But everything went fine anyway! I really don't understand :S

I have no idea what you're on about. You're welcome to create a new ticket as long as it actually describes the problem rather than just being a rant.
