ArmA III Alpha @ Steam

[DLUX]

Is it me, my gear or the game? Do guns sound as distorted for you as they do for me?

[Stormfreek]

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

Yep this is what I was doing

But not too be too pessimistic, putting the graphics all the way up, I think the frame drops I get are not too justified, its hard for me to understand why my frames drop so much.

But ARMA has a very different lighting set up, it is as if its bland for a reason, (which is realism of the location I presume). Also don't expect packed, dense map like battlefield lol, the map is massive, but at the same time fairly empty.

Anyone know how to jump into a night game of some sort?

Alpha just begun today, can't draw any conclusions about performance yet. Could be AMD comes with a driver combined with a BIS optimization that your FPS doubles.

Video sounds fine on my end.

Maybe you're not used to the pure sound of a gun? Look up firing range videos, BF3 and CoD tend to make weapon sounds "cinematic".

Sounds normal, echoes sound right too.

I get really bad frame rate too on my 680/2600k even on lowest I get like 30 so it must be technical details...

[Haspayne]

1%.... get on my level

I guess something is off with my sound then, because I clearly hear it crackle here.
Pump up the volume before you listen.

Do you have your X-Fi console volume at 45% or less? I had crackling on my old X-Fi if the volume was any higher than that, which is the default for headphones for a reason.

Odd, my friend has 2500K OC'd to i think 4.8 and a 680 and holds a steady 40+ FPS from what he told me. I'm about to leave work and head home and see what i get. I have same setup as he, i5 2500K but OC to 4.6 and evga 680 so we'll see.

Forgot to say i believe he's on high settings as well. said he was between 50-60 fps in helo. Not sure what his GPU OC is, i run on air and my oc is 132% power, 112 gpu and 333 ram. will let you know what i hit.

Might be just my end but I hear a slight audio cutout in my left ear every time you fire.

My windows is acting funny I need to do a system image restore tomorrow and install latest nvidia drivers to see how it plays out...

[ElBurroDeMuerte]

I'm getting 40 solid in sp infantry. and my cpu oc is only 4.5 not 4.6. I did auto detect on graphics too and it went to custom with everything on very high and ultra and i got 40FPS. i dropped everything to very high and i'm getting a solid 50+ fps with my avg sticking around 55.

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.

Problem was that BI store crashed in the moment when payment site was redirecting to BI store, so money was taken but there were no data on site/account that I've purchased the game.Didn't even get an email about order etc..

But I've saved the "redirecting" link, and few minutes ago I paste that link in browser and go to it. Just then, not before, I got the key and e-mail that I've purchased the game.

So, redirecting link tell BI store that payment has been made, and in case that BI store is not working after purchase it is better to save this link.

Oh i see, that's crazy. Hope they get you situated.
