Arma 3 Alpha

@mikeo01, 7850 will be fine!

[Marenghi]

shouldn't be a problem but as someone else said in this thread i think, there's little to go in the way of optimisation either from AMD/nvidia or the game itself, yet

[mikeo01]

Thanks, I bought it, I couldn't resist the offer

[Marenghi]

i have 3 alpha lite 'gifts' as steams calls them to give if anybody wants one?

For £20 you get the Alpha, Beta and Final release. You also get three time limited invites to the Alpha/Beta, They've ported over the Wastelands missions and it's only a matter of time before they port over the Dayz mod.

Its great for an Alpha Im finding a few funny moments like slightly touching a pickup with a quad bike only to flip the pickup totally over !! Also get a few random crashes ;(

i have set it up all on very high but put the water and shadows down to medium because i seem to struggle when they are set high 28 to 35 fps for me ! Overall im really enjoying the game and the eye candy is amazing even if you have it on a medium setting

Money well worth spent in my book

I also have some Alpha lites, 2 available as I may be giving one away to mate of mine

But overall impressions, amazing! Sure there's some bugs but for an Alpha it's actually very solid. It's very well optimised, runs better than ARMA 2 on my system,only need to turn AA down to x8 and view distance to about 5000 (the view distance is incredible, sniping from 1.5 KM away).

The only bugs I have found so far are infantry running around in circles, infantry running and stopping then firing up in the air and random rag doll effect if you run quickly off an edge etc.

Apart from that it's a huge improvement I'd say.

I likey

i found that my card card doesn't turn into a jet engine when playing Arma 3 unlike Arma 2 !!

I have some too

[Lowe]

Sorted, thanks

Am just wondering have they fixed the bird glitch yet? What I mean is last week if people joined a server using the developers build everyone all ready in the server would turn into birds. I have not had access to my regular PC for a few days so I can't check.

Thanks.

[mikeo01]

No idea but it is an Alpha there's going to be glitches regardless until they fix them. As long as it's not in the final release

This game has less bugs then many retail games imo.
