i mean, the racing suit is just a reskinned heli pilot overall so
But yeah, if it comes with Apex edition, then... 🏎️
everybody keeps forgetting Soundtrack DLC smh
Yeah I don't have it! 😳
i finally learnt how to host a server for me and friends!! big moment for me
You know it's gonna happen
'Arma 4: Morbius'
How to combine units into a squad in Zeus mode?
anyone played squad? because of how bohemia treat their players i want to leave to other game but not sure which to choose, is squad worth it?
wdm how bohemia treat their players?
it wasnt the question
but i will answer, they aer selling game that have below 30 fps in most impotant actions and they didnt repaired bugs in arma 3 for 9 years, instead of that they make erforger (of course you need to pay) and they will make arma 4 lmao fuck this shit
i paid for arma 3 and its not working correctly, unbelievable they dont repair it for 9 years
high end pc cannot have 60 fps stable no comment
a lot cazy bugs like tanks fly, wallhack, stupid ai that cant land at aircraft or steal helicopters, no comment this game have 9 years it should be 100% working now
but they wilol make few new armas and dlc to people buy and give them cash and everything is ok
arma 3 have huge potential to be best game ever but with developers like bohemia it will be shit, fuck bohemia
🤣
Inb4 everything you argue is just by a mission
...And also, for real, language.
perfectly valid feedback. I won't stop you from leaving while i enjoy my game in 120FPS with little to no bugs.
Most of the bugs you expirience are from mods and bad written missions. All missions created by BI are really enjoyable.
one of the best tips i can give you still enjoy a buggy mission: If you know about certain bugs, don't do stuff, that makes them appear in the first place
yea, in eden editor i had 8 fps when i spawned 8 jets
enjoy arma 3 they said
arma 3:

If you believe there is an issue, you can always make a feedback in feedback.bistudio.com, with an actual footage and note how to reproduce. Not with such video.
Maybe your hardware is just not good enough ? what CPU and GPU and how much ram do you have?
Assumed the same but I'd bet he uses tons of Mods
And I spawned 1000 boats and still have my 60FPS, seems like this a problem you have on your machine
yeye, is arma paying you for this bullshit?
yes, with having fun playing it
wait you dont get paid?
well sure cuz she work hard instead of complaining in Arma discord
@velvet crypt#other_games_chat could be the proper channel... I'd recommend Insurgency: Sandstorm if you need a little break and want to just shoot people without Arma
Done.
POLNO MIŚ XD#8601 now has 2 infractions.
I'm questioning your intentions here. Are you just here to throw shit and insult people, or are you here because you want help with your issues?
continuing from general, you're still developing and weed inhibits the habit forming part of your brain. Thats really not good for the age where your mind is still building that stuff
idk if hes even here lmao
Also smoking with the dealer sounds like a bad idea at 14
yea fr lmao
I just got arma 3 and i dont know how to join servers because every time i try it crashes unless its some server with 1 person in it
It gives me a message like

How do i verify the integrity?
It says verify the integrity and idk what it means by that
Im a idiot and clicked something that opened it up in my files
can anyone direct connect to 95.57.116.61 ? Checking if port forwarding is right
no sketchy links without proper description
The link isn't sketchy, it's been able to work in other discord servers.
It's something like this
we have embedding disabled in most channels here

It was like a medal clip basically, but I gotcha

How do i get that veteran role, do i need to pull my flashpoint box out of retirement and send a screenshot to someone?
The blue gangs are there not after being old, but years-long contributions to the community
though many are old
YES!
#offtopic_music message @sick iron Yes, though I didn't have any (recent) physical trauma, just a surgery on other part of my body. It's just known to make your brain to rewire itself in some parts at least, and it indeed did make me enjoy music a lot more than before 😄
not spam
but
can someone help me
find
the dude that did that mod?
the animate one
i have the god damm song stuck in my head
@placid rivet
ty
use shazam
hello, idk where to post this so here will do. Currently playing the Arma 2 Campaign, and im stuck on the Manhattan mission. The insurgent leader that you are supposed to kill has decided to play hide and seek over the whole map, and i cant find him. The main base was searched and no body matched him. What the fuck do you do to go forward?
you fly out to interest points and try to get as many tips as possible
the location / movement is random each new mission, so there is no classic walkthrough
the problem is they keep saying it is at the main base, which i have already cleared out and searched every single body.
Did you get the cutscene where Razor Team stand next to Nikola Nikitin?
If you don't trigger that cutscene then the objective won't complete no matter what.
Do you mean where they say he blew up? @cerulean vessel
Just gotta find his "corpse" and it should trigger the cutscene where he's bleeding out and begs for mercy.
Once the cutscene finishes you can grab the documents off his body.
If you can't find his body you might need to reload to a save just before you started attacking the main base.
This objective can be pretty buggy so sometimes the cutscene never triggers even if you find his body.
@normal ivy yes?
@normal ivy you added me on Discord.
@normal ivy what do/did you want?
he tried me too.. likely everyone
(I dont accept random friend requests. Stranger Danger)
does anyone know of a good server provider for arma 3 that excepts visa and if possible could help me set it up. please dm me
I also got the friend request from Leon, how many people did he send it to?
!kick @normal ivy DM invite spam
Bye onlyLeon#0577! o/
just in case.
The difference between IFA3 and FOW is that this first one is focused more on the Europe and second one more on the Pacific?
yo some guy in this server sent me something about NFT's i know its fake because he wouldnt even let me respond to him so watch out for it. The guy's name who's sending it is Breezy
Dont fall for it
@fierce widget please report to moderator so we can ban them before they hit more peoples, instead of asking people who will never see your message, to not fall for it
Mb then 💀💀
mb for letting people know
nah, that was nice of you
but an even better option is to ping us so we can deal with it for everyone 😉
the account has been nuked away from here, thanks! 👍
ok
@placid sparrow everything ok my guy?
Was there a Chernarus map on the workshop made with assets from Altis? I remember seeing it but now I cant find it, anybody know something about this?
hello, i saw arma 3 is rn on steam sale
what dlc should i buy for start?
so the game will have sense
and what mods should i install
@heady mortar the page below may help you - a recommended setup is Arma 3 Apex Edition, good content for the money 🙂
Arma Reforger
To get started with Arma Reforger its recommended to play through the tutorial, which provides a simple overview of the basic features of the game.
Arma 3
If you're new to playing Arma 3, its recommended to have a read of #info_help_tips and especially the getting started guide (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Getting_Started).
Those resources will provide you with a good way to learn the basics of playing Arma 3 in both single- and multiplayer.
so basically i have to return normal arma and buy apex?
oh
apex is dlc
://
why i have to spend so much money for arma xd
Hello! I just bought ARMA 3 and I have some kind of error is there anyone who could help me

what is best from these?
i saw helis only gives 2 vechicles xd
vechlices
yk
IMO Tanks but this answer is always depends on your playstyle
hm
after I followed the steps and it still doesn't work should I reinstall the game?
No. Reinstall is the same thing but slower
Are you sure that you've followed the step?
I am currently verifying the files
Then save your concern until the verify ends
It is normal if it is corrupted. Wait until it is done
Yes
It works cheers budy
Is there a chat here or thread to look for someone who can do some video editing for our unit?
#creators_recruiting would be the one 🙂
Thank ya!
Since there no A2OA channel Ill ask this here:
In A2OA my friends try to join my coop session but they say the server is not responding. Anyone know what this is, we even tried to search by IP and still nothing
make sure all needed inbound UDP ports are open
See below for additional details 🙂
Arma 3
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 router’s status page in the settings to confirm. (If in doubt, ask your ISP, Websites like “whatismyip.com” 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 router’s manual on how to do that, or ask google: “<your router model> + port forwarding”
i have no idea what thta is, is it the ports in the router?
Bro I was gonna ask the same thing but they just couldn’t connect or find the server
guess we gotta open the ports manually in our routers, just hope i dont turn off the firewall
yes that is portforwarding
in arma cold war assault (flashpoint) if you keep your AI teammates alive?
do they rank up and improve their skill level after each mission?
in the campaign that is
no, but in OFP Resistance they do
ahh okay, thanks @high flame
then i dont have to tryhard too much to keep em alive haha
no indeed 😄
It's more a personal achievement
by the way, is there a way to save more than once per mission?
i know its a game feature but saving at the wrong time and dying has forced me to replay boring driving sections etc
lower/custom difficulty settings
ok thanks
Listening to this gave me several flashbacks to #arma3_scripting

Are you investable sounds like satan is trying to slide into my dms
I just skimmed through the video so I might have misunderstood his point, but I'd like to slightly criticize it even though he has a point there. Lack of not trying enough yourself might also be just a symptom that you're trying to do something that you really aren't passionate about, and focusing on solving the problem from the video's perspective would cause even more issues in that case (under some circumstances at least) when you should really find something else to do that will make you enjoy the ride as well instead of just the end result. (There are good points against this as well too, like this argument: https://codewithoutrules.com/2018/11/12/enthusiasts-vs-pragmatists/ )
I find myself quoting Einstein once again (!) but as he put it, "success is 1 % inspiration and 99 % perspiration" - but I'd continue his thought by "but what makes one stick with the perspiration is the 1 % of inspiration"
Should I get Arma 2 rn? Its on Steam Summer Sale.
"it's old, but it checks out"
I mean I have full Arma 3 already, is it still worth it?
yes
it feels old on gameplay, but the campaign (at least the first half of it to me) and the environment + setup are worth a couple of bucks
Old Arma including CWA feel Arma pretty much
better get ARMA X: Anniversary Edition
wait was that the title? i forgot
Arma X yeah. It includes every Arma till A2, with soundtracks
wait soundtracks?
i better check steam
$12 SGD rn, very good value. im not sure if i have the time to play it all though lol
Some bonuses too like Maps
where soundtrack? i couldnt find it
on a serious note, does any of the old arma games still have MP
Should be located in \ARMA X Anniversary\Soundtracks
ingame server browser is quite broken
damn, i guess im stuck with campaign then
there are still some unofficial servers active on arma 2, don't know how to connect to them tho.
Polpox may know
Do I?!
YES
is arma 2 better than arma 3
2 < 3
it is not
Q.E.D
qed?
Jokes aside A2 actually does pretty nice depiction of depressed European (ex-Soviet) State, which I always miss when I play A3
so is it worth it
nobody can decide that for you
Flip the coin!
ok heads if i buy
tails if i shouldn't
tails
fair enough i guess, arma 3 mods can bring back that feeling anywya
i have my doubt
I'm hosting a popular server in A2:CO with my friend
even after trying to replay some older arma mission in arma 3, it just doesnt feel the same.
FINE
ill buy it
yolo
calm with the f bomb there, mods dont like it
oh
@high flame antistasi is an Arma 3 mod???
yep, sorry I was just clearing up the rest above
Ok.
The FAMAE SAF 200 looks like the MX from Arma 3 xd
I saw the best Youtube video title ever a while ago, hands down: "Consciousness is our last frontier – and we're losing the fight"
I need help
I've tried buying arma 3 off of steam 4 times now. And each time it says "Unable to purchase because your cart has items that are not allowed for commercial use"
Have you tried asking steam support?
Is your steam account special?? Is it a shared account for a internet cafe?
I have.
I don't know. I just signed up and it said that
How can I check?
Steam support would tell you
Ok
why is there a folder named argo in arma 3 directory?
I believe it is the file directory of the Malden Dlc
as that is what most of the pbo's reference
this ^
Alright. I figured out a way. I just purchased it as a gift to my main
Thanks for the help
Mhh I wonder why I never came to this Discord
Actually quite a few known faces here in the Veteran roles
Whats up @tall bluff ❤️
Oh @primal geyser is here too!


Oh I spy a Mr. Mustache here too.
Probably diwako hiding somewhere too
Ive known dedmen for a couple of years, I think he can get over a simple ping
I even still remember the time we spent on wolf corps and the whole drama behind it, lol
we will leave it for him to decide your fate 😅

@spare shell see the advices listed on the page above, it should get you started in no time 🙂
thanks guys
I am totally not biased, but if you are going to check out the more tactical/coop side of ArmA, Groups of people that play with Mods etc. I have this for you: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1358431618
thanks man looks good
im playing threw the campaign rn learning the basics its rlly fun
Question: Does ARMA reforger allow local mods to be loaded?
Or is there a process now where mods will have to be manually approved to be allowed?
why asking here? ask in #reforger_questions
shit. it's really been a while since I've been in this server and totally forgot that reforger has its own segment now
Welp, excuse my -300 IQ; I'mma go post the right question in the right place and totally pretend as if I'm smart
quick question, is Arma a self-published title by BI?
like Created/Developed and Published by BI on their own
Yes, BI has self published all Arma games (and some others)
we shalt not tolerate such self-bashing, so be positive! +300IQ from now on 😉
Please let me live in ignorance, it makes life soo much easier...
but wouldnt that only bring him up to 0IQ 
Enough to make one ponder
no, it makes one happy, not winning at life 😸
how do you join roleplay servers?

Are you looking to play with people?
pick one channel:

uuh. the hunger is real
from what i see in #ip_rights_violations i can conclude that Dwarden is a StarTrek fan.
Four players POVs from a single Special Coop we played on the CyTech map.
Its gonna take me ages to edit but I really hope I can make something truly worthwhile out of this.
The vision is to switch the pov depending on the current happenings, perhaps with PiP including zeus view or something similiar. Lets see where this leads
Ooh definetly sounds like a fancy idea!
Just put all of them at 25% transparency and play them at the same time
and crop to mobile vertical view
and remember to blur all the faces wherever they show up for tacticool-ness
alternatively also blurring the enemies
Two hours of editing later, I only just hit the 11min mark
I hope I can finish this in one week
what First Contact DLC soundtracks would you guys recommend for a horror mission?
ive used acclivity dawn and sunrise zero one so far
The spooky ones :p
they are all spooky
ALL OF THEM
Transilience - Arma 3 Contact (20th Anniversary Concert)
https://youtu.be/-pzFfQYr2l0
or the one remaked in Reforger soundtrack 2nd disc
I am convinced
Is there something i'm missing with setting up an arma 3 server? Ports open on both UDP and TCP are 2302-2306, same goes for the firewall. My computer is set to being discoverable in case that mattered and I've tried with both UPNP on and off, independently of port forwarding and with.
I've somehow managed to get this to work before, but right now it's failing me big time. Some VLAN services have also somehow worked in the past.
here are the usual recommendations

Can someone from bohemia restrain Lou, He's being sus like sussy
Ok I'm done talking like a zoomer (I hate them)
Are there any good modern US Army gear mods for basic infantry types other than like.. CUP and RHS?
S & S
although thats more cold war, which I do count as modern but you might disagree
This also seems interesting
Thank you! Both of those is what I meant!
Update on the CyTech SCP Special
About 8h of work, we hit 1:15h runtime. The main video itself is done. Now I just need to polish, add effects and restructure the music a bit. I also need to make the intro.
Random question as someone learning CAS, how do you effectively drop GBUs with a jet that has a laser marker that doesnt swivel all the way around? If I pass over the target, the marker cant follow it anymore
Fire, guide, and turn the laser off before it moves away
most aircraft that have forward lasers are used in hunter killer teams, where the plane in the rear is aiming the laser and the one out front drops the bomb.
LCtrl+T to lock laser target on pilot camera
a plane like Gryphon only have 180 degree of aiming zone when using its own laser
yes, i know
my question was how to reliably lock and bomb targets when you only have 180 to work with
since you'll usually pass over before it hits
try it in a slight dive and slow down
the good ol' dive bombing
Just find a jtac for bombing runs. Or a second jet that holds the laser on target
has anyone finished the mission "tipping point"?
I mean sounds like you gotta get better at CAS
, but #arma3_questions would props be a better chat @obtuse sonnet

I was playing arma, messing about with NR6, and an AI Jet took off, somehow dodged the SAM Missiles, crippled the entire defense of the airbase, crippled almost the full force of the enemy army, destroyed the enemy Jet aswell and then got shot down
The utter amazement on my face
God
@solid cape RHS had their own page in IMFDB, sadly it was archived and set to deletion since no update were made into the page since 2016.

Is there a place where i can post my gofundme here? Im trying to help some rescues in different countries ran by people who are poor and rely solely on donations
not really, I'm afraid - @craggy vector?
Dangit D:
no, due to abuse and hard to verify claims on those
Anyone know of a mod or script that disables the ability to zoom in on a weapon? For example, if you had iron sights, how would I go about disabling the ability to get a 4x zoom on the iron sights? Please @ me or DM me with any info you have. Thanks! It is greatly appreciated!
Hows it hard to verify?
like, removing sights?
otherwise it's a config thing indeed, and mods it is (IF it exists)
Not removing the sights, but removing the ability to zoomin. So for example, obviously on iron sights its a 1x zoom. But, Arma allows you to zoom in up to 4x times.
why would you even want to remove it? its good for gameplay
Out of curiosity... How much it would cost (budget/time/workers), at all perspective in order to make a quality job, let's say the Offroad in vanilla Arma 3.
- Getting reference and/or concept arts
- Modelling/rigging (from scratch, of course exterior and interior)
- Texturing/materialing
- Audio (either bought or made from scratch)
- Animations
- Adapting assets into the game
- Configuring (in Arma 3)
- Testing/QA
- Publish
If any perspective is missing, feel free to point it out, and if any of you have a your own answer, it is pretty.
(Of course, if you answer, do it without breaching your NDA!)
I would expect no less than 1000 for the offroader model alone
that is a for really well made model
Example for the AoW Coffin, which is not as complex as a car.
Whole way from research over modelling and optimization, texturing, review
160 hours roughly
For vehicles I would say atleast 10x that
Ah found one.
LoW Transport van (some parts including work for the ambulance variant too)
The Van Model with a basic texture 320h
Animations 60h
Other stuff like encoding and more modelling 400h
The Cargo variant of the Van adds another 350h
The Ambulance variant adds another 250h
And that's not all of it, that doesn't include QA and bugs and their fixes.
That really puts into perspective also how expensive CDLCs are to develop.. This is why we cannot give DLCs for free people..
And no (to all the piracy enthusiasts) getting paid for making this content is not BI trying to scam you or BI being bad people that are just out for your money.
Getting a human to work on something for you for 8+ weeks, just costs alot of money
I'm currently working on a vehicle and I'd say if I really wanted to model everything and do it properly, atleast 6 weeks for the modelling alone
Interesting Ded. It is pretty nice if some CDLC devs answer
i will quote this whenever someone say CDLC is a scam.
Points at #GMIsJustAPort ignorances
This is also the exact reason why I've tried to make noise about utilizing "paid modding"/CDLC/younameit scheme more. It's not about getting rich quick, it's about vastly extending of what's possible in Arma. I truly think and hope that we'll finally see the full potential of the series finally being realized with Arma 4 and further Enfusion based games, given that BI won't go bankrupt in the process
It really comes down to complexity and if you are starting from complete scratch or if you already have a baseline you can start with.
Stuff like that is really cheap for GTA Server for some reason, and no, I am not talking about stolen assets, I mean genuine selfmade models. Cant take that long if you pay two to three digit euros for it
Of course, idk how much that translates to arma


now what?
