With 8 gb ram can i play

How can I play Arma III with my friend?

nocturne glade
#

Step 1: find a friend
Step 2: by far the easiest is to join some public server, friend can join on you.

You can also host server but your router/isp has to support/allow port forwarding

#

You are half way there then.

dapper violet

how the arma 3 works with servers? like dayz

#

??

#

How do you mean? Finding and joining servers? Hosting your own server? Running a private server just for friends? Running a public server?

dapper violet
#

no how to join

By clicking on server?

you asked for the best semi-auto, you have your answer - GM6 is heavy but it's 12mm, one-shot-kill almost all the time with biggest range and capable of damaging vehicles ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

i hate the small dlc packs the weapons look ugly, the vehicles look ugly. probably the tanks dlc was the best out of all of them because the T14 looks like a T14 and so does the weasel

#

everything in arma 3 has some artistic liberties because they are cranking stuff out fast... all the weapons have inaccurcies to them like the F2000 sights, the updated SVU, the iranian bullpup thing

#

the rpg 32 is no where close to the IRL thing

dusky valley
#

No, basegame has some jets and tanks. They work in multiplayer. But it depends on the scenario creator if they allow you easy access to them, or at all. The DLC add specific other jets and tanks. If you don't own the DLC then you can only hitch a ride in passenger seat of vehicles (if they are there). You cannot control them as driver, commander, gunner. Some other player that does own that DLC needs to do it for you. Similar with weapon-based DLC, you can encounter them in the game, but using them gets annoying with ads suggesting to buy the DLC. But there are obviously other basegame weapons that can be used to do the job if you find them. The only limitation is on joining servers and missions made for DLC terrain, like Apex (Tanoa) and Contact (Livonia) and those for creator DLC. You cannot join those terrains if you don't have that DLC.

urban sluice
#

Does a DLC Compatibily Thing from Steam Workshop actually work?

dusky valley
#

It allows you to join servers that have DLC gear/weapons/vehicles in it. But it doesn't make them available for free to you. Well, not without the ad.

#

And some mods need compatibility mods between them to work correctly. But that is technically unrelated to DLC.

urban sluice
dapper violet
dusky valley
#

The compatibility mods between ACE and RHS are only for them. It does nothing with DLC or other mods.

dusky valley
#

But if you want to play on a server, that server needs to have those mods. You cannot join a server with any mods that you like. It has to be allowed.

Radio silence mission is damn near impossible

kindred flame
#

I have to disagree, it's way easier than another mission in later stages where you assault a base. AI can take Mike-26 with almost no support from you, then you have to set up in a guard tower and shoot at reinforcements, taking a MG from any fallen friend or foe with a scope grants you quick win

Its easy once you know what to do. Its basically trial by death.

there are mods that achieve the same effect. Also Tanoa does a good job with that feel

eternal ivy
#

ill check it out

dusky valley
#

It's quite multiplayer oriented. Both Apex and SOG really, but SOG more so. While the terrain and assets can be used in other scenarios the ones that it comes with are not made to be played alone. So if singleplayer gameplay is your focus you might consider it a bit expensive. But top quality creator DLC without question.

anyone got sound mod for arma gold edition / armed assault

#

im sad i can't find anything all links are dead if BY ANY CHANCE you have a sound mod pls give (i was able to find sound mod for OFP lmao)

urban sluice
#

everything should be on moddb for those old games, few people if any have any content for arma 2 on their harddrives let alone arma 1

formal hollow
# marble flax anyone got sound mod for arma gold edition / armed assault

Armed Assault Info (armedassaultinfo.info) probably has something. You'd have to do a little digging though since not everything was uploaded there.

TBH, just skip Arma 1 altogether and go straight to A2. You're not missing anything in A1 and you can pretty much replicate everything with SMD Sara for the terrain and Sahrani Rearmed for units.

marble flax
formal hollow
#

A2's spec requirements aren't that much higher. You'd already be playing on super low settings for A1 anyway.

marble flax
#

hence why i played ofp (real cold war crisis mod) epic af but wanted something not as dated looking but still performance friendly (meaning it should run on intel hd 4000) i can manage mostly normal settings on 1000 visibility 1080p and get around 35/60+ fps depending on the scenarios

#

also is there a settings.ini for arma games? i wanna or user.itx whatever the hell. i wanna turn of post processing (there's only a LOW setting no option to turn it off)

formal hollow
#

Should be in your Documents folder (Documents -> ArmA -> ArmA.cfg)

#

Any other settings should be in the file with an .ArmAProfile extension (also in the same folder).

drebin thanks for showing me that site... i found and installed so many improvement addons i NEVER knew i needed god this game got so much more worth the price xD glad i moved from OFP, also i got this CWR mod and ACE mod as well pretty insane (redoing OFP campaign in arma gold is fun as hell for some reason) albeit broken and many reloads

marble flax
#

btw

#

any idea why in the actual fudge is navigating interiors so clipping glitchy as hell?> i've noticed this same issue in OFP as well.... also i can ignore the limit by typing editing 30 seconds? lmao

formal hollow
#

Manoeuvring in interiors has always been problematic in older Arma games because of the funky collisions. The hotels in Arcadia or the TV station in Bagango are good examples of where this becomes prevalent. Mind you, it's still an issue in A3 but has gotten slightly better...by like 0.000000001%.

marble flax
formal hollow
#

Sort of. Clipping is less prevalent but you can still do some silly things inside buildings since you can jump and climb up stuff now.

sees strange to me, 1999s games have better "collisions" so idk what's holding them back

If some Mods need Global Mobilization DLC for it to work but no money, can I ise the Compability thing to make it work

formal hollow
#

Yep. You can subscribe to the compatibility data pack and any mods that rely on Global Mobilization's stuff will work fine.

The only restrictions you face are the usual premium DLC notifications and lockouts (no getting into crew positions, ad spam if you use a GlobMob weapon, etc.).

@mellow mango did you also read what the warning was: advertising is "1x per 14 days per community" so yea if someone else posted a few days ago and you repost it again you get the warning.

mellow mango
#

I wasn't aware anyone from my unit had posted
else i wouldn't have posted it ๐Ÿ˜…

steel kite
#

Best is to communicate within your unit who does the advertising or run a search before advertising ๐Ÿ‘

dusky valley
#

Does editing the same message fall under that 14 day period?

kindred flame
#

probably not, because it's not being reposted

quiet pine
#

delete/repost is not allowed, editing is ofc ๐Ÿ‘

#

everything is in the pinned messages, f.e there ๐Ÿ™‚
#communities_arma3 message

Remember:
You can only post ONCE every 14 days.
This is per community, not per user.
Renaming your community doesn't make a new/different community so that doesn't give you the ability to ignore the "once per 2 weeks" rule.
If you need to make changes, just edit your post, don't delete and repost if that would violate the "once per 2 weeks" rule.

What do I do if I want to play a single player desert ambush style mission? And what servers are fun to play on? I like overthrow because of the economic side

dusky valley
#

Find a desert kind of terrain (I'm guessing Takistan is popular for that; part of CUP terrains mod). You can find scenarios for Takistan in the workshop.

#

As for servers, hard to tell. there are around 5000 servers online. with variying level of activity and gamemode scenarios they host.

urban sluice
#

is altis life fun? seems to be the biggest

#

does takistan life exist on a3?

kindred flame
#

I doubt anyone here would recommend you any life server, most of them have a miserable reputation and once you get used to their "mechanics" it may be hard to switch to something more... clever.

and yes, takistan life probably exists, I've seen ads on A3 facebook groups

urban sluice
#

yeah i heard that before lol, id rather play as an independent faction with an ak47 than a fully kitted us soldier

kindred flame
#

on life server you would rather be playing as a policeman trying to force fine a ticket to some dude rubberbanding all over the map or as a robber constantly doing heists on the only bank on that server. A bit dumbed down GTAV if you ask me lol

#

if you want to play Arma 3 as Arma 3, not as a GTA spin-off, and play with many people, look in #communities_arma3 for some bigger units that play within your timezone. You'll go through some basic training, download their required mods and done

rugged escarp
kindred flame
# rugged escarp I'm not a fan of Arma 3 style Life myself either, but I wouldn't call their mech...

Digby asked if it's fun so I assumed he wants to know how an Arma 3 player finds it shrug I've spent a good few hundred hours on Silverlakes, Arthurs, Frenchlifes etc and while the number of custom (mostly ripped from other life servers tho) solutions to typical life server features are pretty unique, they are made with little care, not to mention that the line between healthy community and toxic bunch of blackpilled 16yos is very, very thin, even a most milsim 75th rangers unit wouldn't compare to that imo.

rugged escarp
#

Yes, the community is toxic in general and all that. Based on my personal experience RPGs are the hardest genre when it comes to game design, so it might just be that it's really hard to make actually decent Life mission in Arma when you combine the effect of the scripting toolset and the complexity of having good design. It has taken me 10 years of constant (re)design of features and their interplay to make at least somewhat decent mission โ€“ and that's on paper! Then add the struggle with SQF and UI development and the fact that often things work differently in practice than what the designer(s) intended (i.e. the constant need of iteration and designing and implementing corrections to gameplay based on feedback), and you'll start to see why "Life is hard" (pun intended) ๐Ÿ˜…

I had Bornholm installed a while back and I got rid of it because all the foliage was this really oversaturated green. I hope that doesn't affect the hypothetical wheat fields.

It usually flips over when 0.0049 becomes 0.005 and later at 0.0149 becomes 0.015. So pay good attention to the flip. Also, if you really want to know, try to plot where you are on the map (with difficulty settings on easy map contents shown) then count map grid sections.

Good evening everyone. I have a question about my modding a server. I have done all of what i thought were the correct steps in the configuration files, yet the general settings seem to change to a tutorial scenario and my other fields are blank. Also, Nitrado has what looks like a "Modded Scenarios" heading with no option other than the Vanilla stuff. Also whenever I do have to re fill my view distance fields and such in general settings, this resets the configuration files from 99 lines with mods, to like 20 lines. Any help would be appreciated.

While there is a shred of truth to that, it's actually more biased towards players, considering the AI will still 'see you' for 1-3 seconds after the smoke obscures you, as in it will keep lazer beaming on the location it last saw you, where as players will still do that, and then expand their firing pattern according to where you could've moved to, /usually/. If they're any smart that is. The AI will also stop firing all together after 5-10 seconds, where as players are likely to absolutely annihilate the smoke with grenades. Again, if they're smart.

Got a question for ARMA 3 players: I've tried getting into ARMA 3 but as per usual, I felt that it was too difficult to get into due to the insane amount of controls. But I was wonder, do I really need to remember most of them? Or do I only need to remember the basic controls for infantry and vehicles? I primarily play Reforger because it's still ARMA but more simplistic. I would like to get into ARMA 3 multiplayer though, which is why I'm asking.

kindred flame
#

it depends on what role do you prefer when playing Arma. Also do note that there are mods so they increase the number of controls you would have to know so you have to narrow the scope of your concern. My take is that it might be a lot of things to remember but only for first week or so and only if you play inconsistently, once every month or so. If you spend a good two-three weekends playing just as infantry or a crewmam, it will be your second nature

silver canopy
# south dome Got a question for ARMA 3 players: I've tried getting into ARMA 3 but as per usu...

If you play vanilla then theres really no more controls than say squad, other than the scroll wheel actions. If you play with ace then there's the interaction menus to contend with. Best (imo) recommendation anyone could make though (If you're willing to deal with it) is to sign up with a cringesim unit and ask them to teach you the controls. Most of them will do it through their intake process if you're brand new.

arma doesnt have a lot of controls. what has a large number are flight simulators which make use of combos like Ctrl + E x5

i think you can compare squad and arma because they both portray themselves as realistic shooters, sure they are not 1:1 but i hear many squad players say that Arma is bad (they are 100% wrong) but they also do these bespoke missions to imitate what you might find in a arma missions, such as having the opfor team defend a city and they have a destroyable target for the blue team to destroy.

wrong ps4 uses 8gb of gddr5 for the cpu and gpu. arma 3 uses 4 just for cpu minimum, when you get large textures that eats at the gpu ram. the cpu is 2.13ย GHz with 4mb for l2 cache. I belive that ps4 version of reforger is not planned either. the main problem is the consoles are not that powerful as you think they are. ive seen the xbox screenshots for reforger it looks like arma 3 on med to low settings for terrain reforger is much better optimized game than arma 3

# warped star It's bad from the perspective of console as well

Reforger made complete sense, it's Arma Lite pretty much. Simplified, and streamlined, if they show they can expand reforgers content and feature set to be on par with Arma 3, then I won't complain about Arma 4 hitting consoles as well, considering Arma has been in dire need of a better solution to the scroll menu for a while for example. But I doubt it's possible to streamline enough without pulling a FO4 and turning the entire game into a non Arma game.

They might have to develop seperate controller schemes, contextual and visual along with keybinds for those same actions, that way you could still do all the actions through keybinds on PC, reforgers does this to an extent but take the stance system for example, it isn't good enough imo.

There are games which make console gamers cry loud too. I once played one of those dynasty warrior series on PS out of boredom and guess what happened. The game started to lag hardcore in certain battle scenes. I doubt any console is capable of holding grounds against PC specs in terms of Arma gaming

the first i5/i7 gens left a big influence in game development because these CPUs didn't have more than just 4 cores. They took their sweet time to offer more cores for consumers and as a result developers did not bother to think far head of Intel's manipulated market future

Let's see how far Reforger will push our hardware. Unless Nvidia has a change of heart, we won't find out that soon.

To host a server or a game session locally, you need to make sure first that your WAN address / external IP uses the IPv4 protocol!
Check your routerโ€™s status page in the settings to confirm. (If in doubt, ask your ISP, Websites like โ€œwhatismyip.comโ€ give you a false positive!)
Local servers and games can not be hosted on an IPv6 network, or IPv4 via DSlite tunnel!
https://www.avg.com/en/signal/ipv4-vs-ipv6
Once you have confirmed that your connection uses the IPv4 protocol, you need to manually open / forward the ports 2302-2306 UDP (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Dedicated_Server#Port_Forwarding)
See your routerโ€™s manual on how to do that, or ask google: โ€œ<your router model> + port forwardingโ€

which sucks, since the hifi sounds are insanely better (testing without @blazing quartz) added in.

#

problem is i can't seem to ffigure out anyway to overwrite ace sounds with hifi.... it just keeps being overwritten by ace, doesn't matter if i create seperate folder and put it before @blazing quartz or after @blazing quartz , e.g -mod=@blazing quartz;hna / -mod=@hna;ace

#

also

#

can't upload screenshot but hifi files are like over 14 and ace are only 4... i tried renaming but sounds are missing that way....

you can jump in Ace discord and ask there how to overwrite their sounds. Better to ask the source : )

Well a quick Google Search gave me the forum post on the BI forums (first result) which tells you exactly how to fix the issue with ACE:

You can use HiFi NA alongside ACE to replace the BIS soundbase. To do this, simply edit the ACE clientside Cpp file so it contains the following lines.

/*
ACE_OVERRIDE_BIS_SOUNDS
When defined, ACE sounds are used for default arma classes
When undefined (commented out), Default ArmA sounds are used for default arma classes, meaning they can be freely overriden by soundmods
*/
//#define ACE_OVERRIDE_BIS_SOUNDS

Ok so I made a custom faction via Alive mod, cfg patches are done, next is to pack all into a PBO, problem is that I do not have a pack into PBO option.

You dont strictly need all the dlcโ€™s to have a good experience, since mods usually substitute for them. Having said that, mods like apex have a good chunk of content you can make use of if you want it.

In terms of time, im not gonna lie, arma can easily become a time sink, but the beauty of arma is that missions, scenarios and gamemodes are super configurable, and beyond that thereโ€™s probably existing servers that suit your short pvp needs

# grand bolt I am new. What do I need to buy off steam to get up and running?

Basegame should suffice to get up an running. Arma 3 basegame has a bit of everything. DLC just add to the stuff you can use in the game. And some have new terrains you can additionally play on. If you don't those scenarios made for the terrains and servers playing those, will not be accessible. Once you are sure to keep Arma 3 (make a choice about refunding) before 2 play hours have past, you can consider investigating what the DLC are about and invest in getting those. (hint: there is a sale period comming up later this month)

Arma is primarily CPU based, so you should be fine without a full GPU

Only questionable thing would be the intergrated graphics. That generally is less performant than a dedicated GPU. Try it, and refund if you can't get it to work. Make sure to use the autodetect option for graphics settings in Arma 3.

# urban sluice no its that video games typically require video cards. maybe you can play with ...

I disagree. Demanding games require video cards because they need "more" processing power and consumer-grade iGPU simply cannot provide that for many reasons.

  1. iGPU is limited to not impact negatively on the CPU.
  2. Most users are not aware of the impact both on CPU as well as RAM
  3. Laptop for gaming is generally a bad idea to begin with. We don't need to repeat the same facts, its up to each buyer himself and how he intends to make use of the given facts.
#

Consumers are not prepared to cool down a chip monster generating extreme heat. Let's take a i7 game class CPU with iGPU unlocked. The core temperature w/o iGPU and Turbo is already considerably higher since 11th gen. How do we intend to cooldown that crap incl. iGPU unlocked? We would first need a complete different cooling system from scratch. More stable, more efficient, more affordable and easy-to-handle on top. I see a unicorn running down the street ๐Ÿ˜†
