known issue, for some reason MP lowers the performance

try it on SP, what's your FPS?

you know....... that's the idea..... that's why you have 2 STANAG standar 5.56 mags

so this is a dupe?

upvoted, this wasn't like that in previous updates

you didn't had to delete THE WHOLE folder.... just "arma3.cfg".....

but if its still wont start..... then the error code must be given to someone in support, this is the right place to post it, sorry i can help you anymore.

try to do the most basic things of all, delete "ArmA3" in your doccuments folder inside the arma 3 folder, it holds your selected addons and graphics configuration, but its what causes most of the start-up errors

there are already tickets with the same topic

imago, besides laughing at your sarcasm, you cant order me to stop using this site or to stop "bothering" you when i am just saying the basic stuff you need to explain before making a ticket, this problem however has been known since quite some time ago, so technically its a duplicate.

so..... i think this needs more info, when does it appear? where were you when it poped up, did you had any addon/mod loaded? etc.

so..... how does it fires if it doesn't fires in full auto?

"so piss off your opinions."

how old are you? in this webpage we should all post our opinions as notes in the tickets for this game, so you are technically asking me to stop giving opinions about the tickets, thing wich i cant do

oh, we cant piss or clean our guns or shit in the game, that means its incredibly stupid.

its not THAT needed to be able to jump down instead of ladders

if you really think you should be able to do these things faster just use the command "drop down"

yes, but it would be realistic to avoid falling by putting your feets outside of the ladder floor.

Downvoted, not a bug

you dont get it, dont you, putopulha? he means that you should try it out after a bunch of updates to see if this got fixed

then we should make the characters in the editor with a stats display? to be able to change things like strenght (affect recoil and shaking when aiming) stamania, breathing, etc.?

to be honest, i think it would be an amazing idea

*"breathing"

and if you haven't checked on real life anecdots, just dont say nothing, yes, actually most of the soldiers trained in underwater enviroments can survive for around 5 minutes, however, i agree the duration for you to survive underwater should be limited by your character (maybe an RPG element?) its not unrealistic for the character to survive this long.

if a simple change can make shadows realistic and bis haven't done it so its either:

1-because they have a good reason not to
2-they dont want to

image wont work

Please remember that this is an over 10 years old engine. yes, it has done more than even the Source could do, but its not limitless

Dont advertise your tickets on comments.

its called lag

vryoffbtdrummr, then you should try it out before thinking its not possible, maybe in a dive of 15 or less grades downside you can reach 300 km/h pretty fast.

I agree, deacceleration its unrealistic, but one of the ArmA weak points is the unrealistic flight physics, mods like ACE, or things like (if they add it) the TOH way to fly choppers will change that

but then again, this is 2035, i think russia would make 1 or 2 engine upgrades to a helicopter that is up to 30 years old in service

its not a bad thing, only admins can close them, but i think people should be able to open them if they have a good reason to

I was gonna get in this ticket and blame you because a hard restart was something common on PC with virus, but now i saw the info you wrote there, i can see it's arma 3 fault, but i can't recall of ANYONE who got the same thing

There are rumours that the maker of the animations works with BIS, i think you haven't played ArmA 3 at all or not enough, because the sniper sitting stance is in the game and i find "cover" useless in FPS as you can take basic cover in this game by yourself, i find, however, neccessary to have an option to jump walls

I also disagree with comanches, after all, they were cancelled.....

but maybe.... an AirWolf.....

not really, yes, the heli could have been added into the game and it could be real in the 2035, but judging by the design of it and the pics, i can already tell you the chopper is not gonna be mass-produced, and its gonna stay a prototype

Still, it would be so hard to get inside the engine that it would be instantly closed.

this is not receiver.

Interesting, but downvoted, unnecesary, and complicated

I agree, but please stop using all caps or the ticket may get removed

enemies looking at civilians with enemy clothes as civilians is not a bug, uniform detection is buggy and not implemented yet

....... you mean recoil? recoil is not unrealisticly high, its fine for a 6.5 mm bullet

Related/Duplicated to #7533

No, this is not DRM, mulledk, DRM means to be always online, this kind of games just need you to log in to steam, after that, disconnect from internet and you can still play arma 3, same is happening with just cause 2

i love when people complain about non-bugs in arma 3 thinking they are problems...... i love it.

ArmA 3 is an Steam Exclusive game so far, i think you never thought of that, or you never played a game that requires steam always open, and no, this is not DRM, you dont need to be online, just logged in to steam

kol9yn, if that's a COD joke, i think no one needs to explain that in the real life there are over 100 attachments that can be used on most of the weapons, and not even 10 of them are used by the soldiers nowdays, we dont want common infantry to spawn with an under the barrel shotgun, we just want attachments for fun or for making personal weapons in MP or in certain missions

Dark, i dont know why, but your comment was badly redacted, i had to read it several times and i still dont get it, i never said the upper rail for scopes are just in nowdays weapons, i just said that modern weapons are using 2 sidebarrels rails, i knew that most of them used to have just 1 for the right side, and most of the guns still dont have an lower barrel rail.

"Muzzle - 1 slot
RIS rail on top - basically 3 slots (example: AIMPOINT 3xMAG+CompM3+LPI)
RIS side rails left+right: 2 slots (handguards or additional stuff)
Bottom RIS rail: 2 slots (tactical foregrip+flashlight)
Magazine: 1 slot.
Basically, 9 slots here."

Dark, how do i explain this to you... maybe i forgot about the upper barrell rail because its something just a few guns have, but:

Sights/upper reciever rail : 1
muzzle : 1
Side rails : 1/2
Bottom rails : 1 (flashlight is in the side rail, and the foregrip can also be changed for a GL, or sometimes a secondary gun)

Magazines dont count.

there you go, 4 standar rails for most of the weapons, nowdays weapons are using 2 side barrel rails.

never said a pistol would use an ACOG X4 zoom....

but there are people who uses them with small aimdots or holo sights because a pistol with no night sight is hard to use, and they are not as accurate as using a holo sight.

and yes, i forgot weapons can have 2 side barrel attachments, as i forgot about the attachment under the barrel of the pistol, for wich an IR laser, visible red laser, or a flash could be mounted

Actually the standar rifle has just 4 attachments port, for scopes, GL/hand grip, muzzle, and barrel, not 8.

BUT, dont forget there are optics that can be used in pistols

Upvoted, i always loved rappels and fastroping, but remember this: Fast roping takes longer and is unsafer than normal landing and take off, its barely used at all when the pilot must inserct in very small areas (for example, a big city, or in forests) and in real life almost no military force do that kind of inserction

watch videos about live fire tracers with NVG, they DO make a lot of light

not really, p00d, its just a light source, and i understood i was wrong, tracers ARE a light source, but barely noticeable without NVG, it would kill performance if it was a light source, particles, and has AI at the same time, but light source does not kill performance, with the amount of light used in the tracers, even less

Christian, i think you got the link wrong.

i watched the same video over and over again, Tracers glow just enough to be seen, nothing more, and Bigpickle, i dont have a shitty PC, but even if i do, i dont think that is a reason to inult somebody else, besides, even if i can run ArmA 3 maxed out at >70 constant FPS i dont see how i want to add better lighting if that is not realistic

tracers dont glow to the ground, they may be bright, but they are not lamps, nor lasers, they dont glow the path they go

bigpickle, you made me think about it, but still, i dont want people to upvote a feature that makes the tracers as strong as an explosion in the night...

besides, what makes them glow is a chemical, its bright, but emits barely any light.

tracers are not a light source IRL

i got used to using space as "fire" too, fixes my problem with using aircrafts too

Gepardenk, the aim for the game is for realism, not gameplay, even if this makes it harder, in real life the gun's recoil draws off and it gets recentered again. They should modify the recoil

i like that new players are getting into the ArmA community.

i hate it when these new players like you ask these kind of questions. the title makes no sense, its not related to the description of the ticket, and you can deactivate the 3rd camera view option in your menu, if in MP, that's up to the server-side settings

I shall tell you that this error message pop ups for me usually in the road between agia marina and the airstrip pathway

there is like......... around 40 tickets just like this one, and what does the recoil has to do with the "animations"?

sigma, what if i am left handed?

or another example would be something du hoc, i remember i think it was either rangers, who fought in that place and climbed all the way up that hill just to destroy the flaks and the artillery there so they could let the army, marines and the rest of the allies disembark more safely into normandy in '44.

Yes, ArmA 3 should have a realistic application to the SF groups, either in mass, small ops, undercover, patrols (like in vietnam), etc.

mwnciboo, you convinced me, however, there is still the fact that Spec ops are being used in real life for different missions, maybe in the campaign of the game you play the first parts as a SOF in a unit that must strike first, get intel, destroy AA to support friendly troops (pretty much the same thing as the campaign in Arma 2) or just stealth missions, i know they are not universal, they are not armed with nanosuits (i REALLY love that thing...)and they are not chuck norris/Rico Rodriguez/Gordon Freemans.

But if they do exist, then it must be because of something.

and in real life, there are several missions wich include large amounts of navy seals (30 or around) doing missions together (example, the elimination of "bin laden"), and if we go REALLY back in time, in the vietnam war, Seals were just a small group of people used in recon/assaults wich had lots of air support.

i know they are not the main focus, but it WOULD be realistic to have them.

and like stated before, if you really take a close look, the units used already in arma 3 have pretty much a Spec Ops equipment

actually, i am sure marines in both UK and US sides are not elite infantry, just a joint force with somewhat different training and equipment, they are not exactly better than the army.

and Special forces are not THAT useless, but most of their jobs is to get intel, or they can do like in vietnam and bring back the LRRP, now THOSE guys were REALLY needed in SF missions.

Rangers or ainrborne/paratroopers are elite infantry, and mwnciboo, the reason why people like SOF missions is because the REAL LIFE SOG missions are quite interesting and really hard, after all, the players/soldiers MUST BE trained, hard, smart and good at what they do, but yeah, the concept of a special operator has been twisted too much nowdays.

besides, i am pretty sure the units in arma 3 are the Spec ops ones, i mean, i dont know since when the US army uses a standar pistol and 2 mags for a common rifle man and changed the size from 12-13 soldiers per squad to 10

placeholders, guys, placeholders.

you complain about arcadish, but then you want a "cover" buttom? seriously?

i though dsilecxy also spoke about how he, who was a real trained marine felt the guns in ArmA 3 the exact same as when he is with a real gun, just because the gun feels more rigid and solid doesn't mean its more arcadish, go get some training and handle a real gun before you complain about those things

because it would be retarded for BIS to let pass the OpFor (iran) talking english when they are trying to make an actually good campaign, there has been no game from BIS that used the same voices for BLU and Op

i dont really understand why people make fun of people like you who dont understand what does "alpha" means, just like that smart annoying kid that make a virus-script that kill everyone in a server because he complained about the game being buggy.

I personally feel pitty for you, you still dont understand that this is of course gonna change in the future, yet you make a ticket on this game.

i cant vote 1 million times yes on this ticket, but i want to, i really hate to see that the same vehicle will spawn with a different color every time i restart the game

i think is a script virus, its not one hacker but a very well done script that infects on games wich played missions that include this script-virus.

that is really very fucking smart, and somewhat useless, as i see people dont understand what does "beta" or "alpha" means and they think as soon as a game is open it means its finished

I am not worried about performance in a mix of both islands. I'm really not. After all, ArmA 3 still does 60 on med graphics with high visibility on a 4 years old low end rig like mine. Besides, i thought that ArmA 3 already had documented assets?

Wait, the tools for ArmA 3 map creation has not been relased yet?

I am not a map builder. i just misunderstood what roger said. I have no idea about modding, but even then, as long as the map object and terrain themselves can be ripped from "Altis" and "Stratis", making a bigger watermass and placing both *SHOULD* (AFAIK) work with no problems. BIS could actually help, or support, or even do this themselves tho.

I hate to be a necromancer and revive old tickets, since this one is dating from a long time ago, but considering that a performance impact is obvious and if we overlook it, it would only be a matter of importing Stratis, Altis, creating a mega-giantic watermap, and placing them both together, since they are all using vanilla resources, they wouldn't even be heavy in size, and since the game doesn't load up terrain out of visibility, it would not really affect performance either. This would only provide a map with 2 actual asphalt main airports and a big amount of terrain between them, making the idea that they are enemy airports more realistic, instead of having two short airstrips 1km of lenght each and having all kinds of jet take off and fight with a travel of less than 30 seconds.

this is wasteland related, not arma 3 related, unless it happends on the ArmA 3 mission editor too (not in wasteland) then this ticket is just useless

gutsnav, this is not ground zeroes.

weird, i always though it was called "SOAR"

i really hate the ArmA 3 Font, you mistake "6" with "8" most of the time

shotgun, you are talking about the same thing ArmA 2 and TOH did.

"the new fans out there that are not known to modding/community" - laywiin.

i dont know if trolling, or just stupid, seriously, i could take that phrase into any game, but NOT in arma

i think btoh tyl3r99 and shotgun are new to the ArmA saga and BIS games, right? both of you dont seem to understand how DLC for ArmA works.

BIS is not EA/Infinityward, they will not relase a DLC with just 1 remaked map.

if they do sell a DLC, they will sell a DLC with a brand new HQ map, like north corea, or iran desert

shotgun, i SERIOUSLY-100%-SURE think that's something any medium quality modder can do, i think BIS have more important stuff to take care of

people will buy A2 because there are already finished mods and on going dev. mods for it, besides, people think after A3 get relased its gonna be buggy again and its gonna take years before it becomes playable, besides, this is not the "ultimate" arma game, yes, its WAY too amazing, but there is still things they can do, and when another arma game come out, people will want this same thing with Arma 4 graphics ported, and BIS cant do that to EVERY ArmA game relased

BIS works on arma 3, modders can work in ports if they want to, but i dont think BIS should port takistan just because they can

OH GREAT, ANOTHER TICKET ABOUT RECOIL, THIS WAS NEVER POSTED IN THIS PLACE.

and why do you think a 8.5 MM bullet should have as much recoil as a 5.56? the 8.5 has more recoil, dont make yourself the idea an MX-x- is the same as an M16 or an M4

in real life a soldier CAN steal his friend rifle or backpack.

sorry, but i will downvote this, better be careful next time with who are you playing with

what? i just told you that back then the vehicles added where APCs, not tanks.

they are not tanks, they are APC

Ok....... this is not BIS addons, so this is not a feature, and nto a bug, go whine about it to the AiA creator, BIS has nothing to do with this

with the font on this game you cant tell "6" from "8"

AD2001

it seems like you haven't been playing enough arma 3, right?

Agree with pakislav, so far ArmA 3 is US army alone, and BIS should focus on air and ground assets before anything else.

yes, i want graplin hook too and realistic military boarding, even if its gonna be a small feature, just like the fastroping.

you obviously didn't understood my previous comment, what i meant, is that with no graplin hook, seals wouldn't be able to board ships from water to the boat itself, and using air inserction was possible ever since before arma 2

look, the only way water boarding is used when not being stealthy its when the lenght to cover its so big they cant do nothing else, when you can send a boat 10 km into the open sea in the game, then boarding ships would be possible, and even in arma 2 it was, it was buggy using ACE fastropes and mostly addons boats, but you could board enemy ships, hwoever, you cant board ships from the water because there is no graplin hook in the game.

Taking over ships in the middle of the sea for the US/NATO factions are EXTREMELY rare

"Agreed, demolition and oil rigs will be cool!
Also huge ships, seal boarding type, takeover the ship in mid sea, mission will be cool!"

bez, you are searching for COD or BF

Bwach, you cant disarm mines underwater with an explosion, maybe you can in land, but its not only dangerous underwater, but what's the point of destroying them if you have to silently disarm them? makes no sense.

oh god, people are starting with this again?

look:

a guy back when .52 was just relased complained that you should be able to run and shoot at the same time, the devs agreed, now you can do it, this is not a problem, but a feature, even though almost 90% of the votes on the ticket were negative, the devs added that into the game.

i know that aldo, and loki, its NOT that hard, its just the game to think "if magazine bullet amount => 1 then new magazine + 1 round".

Of course, it may cause serious problems with the AI doing the same thing

no.... loki, that's not what i meant, what i mean is not only to drop empty mags and be able to use them even as empty for X reason in-game, but also to have the bullet in the chamber counted in as ammo, Even MGS1 in the 98' did this, but OFP in 2001 didn't

Loki, you dont understand, ANY weapon can load ANY bullet in the chambet and besides, have a mag loaded, the weapon doesn't really can be ANY weapon in existance but a gun with a Magazine system.

mwncibook, so, if we dont add singular bullet physics then tac reloading is maybe useless? Mags in ArmA uses a script i think to tell the game how many bullets the clip have inside, we are talking about just an addition for the game to tell if the gun have a bullet in the chamber or if its empty

pystub, do you want to use bio-friendly bags in arma 3? for BIS to simulate bullet by itself instead of mags with X amount of shots left is almost impossible with a new engine, i dont request too much, this kind of things can be done with a little bit of modding and scripting, and i dont think soldiers really care (not a soldier, so i am not sure) about bringing the empty mags back to the base when they are just dead weight and they are pretty much useless.

And maybe i forgot to add, i usually reload a lot in arma 2, even with bullets in the mag, it doesn't even have to be empty for that
