[nepas]

what's the point in that, because the alpha is available to everyone then?

No its not.

Just got mine, wanted to get the supporter edition but I'm skint.

[Chico]

Have to wait till my funds go through. Should be good anyway I'll avoid the first day jitters

It took me an hour this morning to get supporter edition purchased and i am unable to access it in my account on BIStudio. Was hoping to make it in the first 500 but i doubt i made it. The few times i've been able to actually access BI's website it shows my order but accessing the link where it's supposed to give me my code says that there was an error and that i don't have it.

I wanted to buy my copy on the BI website so they get the full profit but I gave up because of how slow it was.

Only half an hour for 6GB? That's a full day download for me...

Wow, thats hard...I have to wait 3 hours for the download to finish.

Don't worry, it's only 5,4GB...

Same here. I'm not in a rush, i have the order confirmation and am at work all day anyways but hoping it eases up before i get home.

[Shagohad]

Knew i was going to have problems today always the way when i really want to play something.

yeah man same issue with me! arghh I want ma URMAA

have you had any luck with support? My payment has gone through according to my bank

Tried the alpha a couple of hours ago. My poor HD5850 doesn't seem to handle it quite well, as the low fps caused my eyes to fuck up and the flickering induced an insane migraine. It seems like a neat game though...

In what settings? I have a 5770 and after seeing this I lost some hope :c

I did that, and after the payment site processed CC info, it diverts browser to BI store, but at that moment(~4PM CET) BI store crashed and I can't access it at all. I didn't even get a mail that my purchase is complete like many people get, and money is gone. So I have to wait for BI store to work again, and contact support etc. And most of my friends are all playing Arma 3 atm

I wish that BI store were working few more seconds, atleast to confirm order complete...

I chose the lowest settings where I could, except on things as shadow and alike. I had to lower the resolution to 1920x1080 as well, but that was somewhat expected. But my eyes are also overly sensitive regarding low-frequency lightning and video/games etc. Your experience is most likely not that severe (unless you suffer some of the same shit as I do).

[Chico]

Yeh that card will give trouble at high resolutions

[MosquitoPower]

Crap, I immediately need to upgrade to 7850, but my father probably won't allow it. Nevertheless, I'm still willing to play in 1280x720 or sth bigger than that at the moment.

Sadly, yes.

yeeep same as me, gonna upgrade to the 7970 ASAP. Went into the game like, oh my 7850 can run anything at 30fps+, ARMA 3 decided to shatter my gpu lol.

I just got my supporter edition key. They turned the store off completely, apparently due to all the traffic. They were saying they were keeping it off until they caught up with already purchased activations and then would turn it back on. The bohemia twitter is the one to follow. I managed to complete my purchase around an hour after launch (tried from the get-go) and just now got my actual key. They're manually re-emailing links so if you did get a purchase to go through on their site it should make its way to you.

[DLUX]

Anyone manage to get an average FPS above 25??
No matter the settings, I sit around 20-25..

On a 670 + i7

[Chico]

I hear PCs crying. Good!

It's more likely the CPU is bottlenecking not GPU.

What's your CPU?

[Stormfreek]

Really? Got an i5 3950k

[Leopardi]

Really? Got an i5 3950k

Well it should run good if you disable vsync and normal antialiasing. Excluding performance problems caused by server not your setup.

[MadDog]

I am buying this shit right now... this is the shit man... this is it!
