ACS

I haven't played much ArmA recently, however, I do remember spending a lot of time trying to tweak my settings to improve my FPS. I think I finally decided on disregarding what the FPS count was, as the game was running very smoothly but only reporting something like 40 FPS. Sometimes I could see 50 FPS reported, but get some stutter in the gameplay. The biggest FPS drain was view distance. Once you have settled on what view distance you want, I would adjust your settings to that. (NB this was before the 64 bit version was released so I don't know what it's like now.)

It still is a great game. The end game has been improved with the addition of Last Stand DLC (PvP) and several incursions / legendary missions (PvE).

Awesome job with the editing!

I went for the Gold edition.

So far I would say BF1 is worth it. I have encountered maybe a handful of hackers. Whilst annoying, once EA release their server rental program in November, admin rights and the ability to kick/ban should help eradicate any issues we encounter. For me, the worst issue at the moment is not having any hardcore servers, but again, that will be resolved in the coming weeks. Having to empty what seems like an entire magazine into someone to kill them is frustrating. At the right range though, shotguns are 1 shot kills and are my preferred weapon of choice at the moment. Also, you will be pleased to hear there is a healthy supply of snipers behind every corner, tree, rock etc., etc., etc. This is Battlefield after all :smile: .

It's hard to believe, looking at some of the 'after' pictures, just how much carnage, devastation, and suffering, happened at those locations.

Thank you, thank you. It's got a long way to go yet.... but it has potential. With the things I looked at last night (no spoilers), my ARMA 3 Universe just grew exponentially! Now to figure out how to use them best and if it's going to be compatible with our server.

Mission: co40_ACS_v1_xx v 1_00 released 5/20/2016. v 1_1 released 5/21/2016. Added Base clean up (laptop). Added ClearObstruction for Bobcat AddActions fixed for MP environment Respawn loadouts fixed v 1_2 released 5/26/2016. Added more completion items for intel mission. Added hostage beacon locators/markers. Added custom vehicle loadouts. Still needs refining. Added AI para drop. AI skill levels changed from "infantry" to "SOF". AI for airfield defense task randomized. Added crew to static weapon spawns. Added transport chopper comm menu item. Improved randomized mission selection. Removed AI speech/chat dialogue. Fixed VVS so when dialogue is opened, vehicles on the pad are deleted. Removed hints from VVS - you already know what you spawned! v 1_21 released 5/29/2016. Ammo cache mission fixed. Hostage markers fixed (possibly - needs testing in dedicated environment). Changed mission completion parameters to enemies in area rather than enemies alive - for relevant missions. Para drop now repeats if mission last long enough and conditions are met. Overhauled the end task clean up process. Added clear wrecks to clear base (laptop) sequence. v 1_22 released 5/29/2016. Hot fix. v 1_23 released 5/30/2016. Temporary fix for hostage mission. Increased AI around hostages. Increased time between para drops slightly. Aquire prototype - inactive addAction to better identify target. Cargo container - inactive addAction to better identify target. SideChat now showing - specifically in "Airfield defense". to do: Spawn AI waves for defend missions Intel mission - search civ cars / area locator Add remaining missions/ think of more to add too Add heal option to repair pads - is it working? conflicting reports AddAction JIP needs work Highlight important text in mission description Spawn more infantry around objective locations Chopper load outs for spawn choppers Disable enemy fleeing Spawn Chopper markers Incapacitated markers to show on map ** Kidnap Officer - stop friendly AI shooting officer Spawn AI waves for defend missions Intel mission - civ cars / search / area locator? Add remaining missions Add heal option to repair pads - is it working? conflicting reports AddAction JIP needs work Highlight important text in mission description Spawn more infantry around objective locations * mission name, text, logos etc add player action to mark current location on map with a dot

This was one of my earlier, more disastrous findings in the ARMA archives. It works but not the best way to do it. enableStamina false; works far better when placed in the initPlayerLocal.sqf. For missions that you can respawn in, add a respawn eventHandler too, with the same details.

Sadly (but not surprisingly), nobody turned up..... again!

Now that's what we need in ArmA! Dan would never be seen on the ground again :tongue: .

Battleships are back - according to the devs 'after trailer release' chat.

If the "Price is Right!" thing is still going, my guess is 1914! :biggrin:

I think Patches account has been hacked! :tongue:

Well, nobody contacted me about a confirmed day or time for last weekend. I was in TS virtually all weekend too. If you want it, and nobody else does, I can do the run just for you - I have no issue with that at all. My issue is, just as an example, doing the runs for 1 person for each of the next 8 weekends! I really don't understand. If people want the camo but don't do anything proactively to get it, why should Axle or I go out of our way to get it for them? I know you tried to get something up and running Gortkill, and that effort hasn't gone unnoticed. As for others just saying "I need it too", doesn't cut it for me. Gortkill, set a day, a time, and let people know (especially me and/or Axle). Shout it out in TS whenever you are on, keep bumping the forum post up etc. If people show up with you, great! If not, you get your camo anyway.

Very cool!

Definitely an upgrade! Enjoy your new card :biggrin:

Glad to see you back in the land of the living!

The server is currently set to a 4 hour cycle. There are some serious issues having a longer day cycle than night cycle so it has been put on the 'back burner' until other, more important aspects have been resolved/implemented.

There are a couple of things regarding this. Firstly, arranging a time when the vast majority are able to do it. Reconfiguring the server, while not difficult to do, does take it offline for the 'general public'. Hence, that is why it was agreed to only do this during 'off peak' hours. The fewer times it is 'offline', the better. Hence, the reason the majority of people interested are available at the same time. Next, is taking some time to familiarize yourself with the locations of all the switches. It reduces a lot of 'setup' time if you are asked to go to a switch and you already know where it is, and how to get there. The rest of the process will get taken care of by whoever is 'counting' the lanterns. A side note to this is, while the process can be a little monotonous, especially on the 8th or 9th run in one session, it helps tremendously if the chatter is kept to camo run instructions only. Type away in chat at will, but keep comms clear for instructions etc. Flying jets, shooting each other etc. just causes unnecessary distraction and leads to mistakes and therefore a much longer process. Finally, it would help the admins or whoever runs the next camo run, if the guys interested in doing it could organize a date, and time, themselves. Saturday and Sunday are the preferred times, purely for the availability of the majority of people. The cut off point is generally around 6pm EST and allocate approximately 15 minutes for each run. This is what will really get the wheels in motion and get you your Camo!

So, what you are saying is, you found a way to do it, you broke it, and now you want me to fix it? :tongue:

Maybe. We have had a few 'pubbers' join and after talking a while they have mentioned they are playing on a laptop. I guess it's personal preference.

I am easy either way. It would be cool if we could make the 8 hour cycle 6 hours daylight with 2 hours darkness. There is possibly a way to do it through scripting. I believe that would require PHD level scripting skills though. I am only at Kindergarten level at the moment though :laugh: .

To play on ultra, yes. If you are willing to sacrifice some GFX quality for fps however, you can get a relatively smooth experience. I am running a GTX 560TI and i5 2550 (yes, I need to upgrade) but I am able to play the game as smoothly as most others - just with lower GFX settings.
