Arma 3 Alpha and developments

[andritsos]

for now, i am on my laptop only and i have an
i 7 3610 QM at 2.3GHz
8 Gb DDR3 ram with an intel HD graphics 4000...(?) but has a geforce gt650m
because actually, in the dx diag it gives me only that although it has a ge force gt 650m ?
EDIT : Checking google, support if there is like a kind of switch)
EDIT : in control, panel , devices , found teh nvidia control panel, which has a thing to select on of the 2 cards or leave it to autodetect, figured i also have to update some drivers too

but at home i ll put it to my home computer which is way better in overall

at least there i can run arma very decently , with high settings at full HD, despite some choppy moments ( way less, before OA, actually OA performance wise made the game much better on my system)

On the good side, halfway into the download of the alpha! and at the start, the store and the whole arma forums were so laggy because of the influx of users

only 10 mins played with it until now, its an aplha , and the settings i put were on standard, 2x antialising and i standard textures. view distance only 1km or so in that screenshot

that chopper
notice that you dont see the red dot in the weapon, as it should be

For the alpha invites, i think i have to be patient and wait for them to be added into my steam account gifts.

That's looking great.

I just got it and played it a bit. It works surprisingly well considering it is an alpha and my computer is utterly outdated; it only has problems with the highest texture and object quality settings and viewing distances over a few kilometers. I'm guessing this will be even more improved upon as the game gets updated (by which I mean they will fix it so that it's as unplayable as it obviously should be. ) I've not noticed many obvious bugs, though the mouse controls seem a bit wonky.

There aren't many scenarios yet, just a few showcase missions for various features and a couple of MP missions, which I've of course yet to try. Thankfully the editor is in so that problem can be resolved rather quickly.

So far it's looking pretty good. I suppose we shall see how it turns out when there's more stuff in the game.

The invites are going to be available next week, on the 14th. Also note that they are going to be for the Lite version of the game, so no multiplayer or mods unless you buy it.

ah yes, somehow i missed that we have to wait to get the invites.

yes , for me too it runs well considering the settings ( i raised them quite a bit, especially the textures and teh quality parts, being at least on high , apart from shadows. i get decent fps and even if its not so fluid fps, its not even too low, i would say 20-30.

Another nice thing i like is getting out of the vehicles , and hear the typical summer sound of the cicadas

also started reporting on issues etc, testing

holiday time

Haha nice!! I wonder if my perfomance will be similar to yours then ?? Hmmm

I try to avoid alpha's lately, but this being Arma... doubt I'll be able to resist it.
