    I bought the alpha knowing that I'd be getting it later at some point anyway. I just hope they give us some content worth playing. Also, it would be nice if BIS grew a pair of cojones and gave us a real opfor campaign. This American/NATO rah rah stuff is *yawn*...

    I know but even then, it ended up being all about evil Russian rogue General Guba.

    Massive update released:

    At the rate this is going, I think this might be the first ArmA game which on release might be playable.

    Are they ever going address the GPU load issue?

    So far its looking like ArmA 2 all over again.

    I think I recall them saying something about an overhaul for Beta in regards to CPU and GPU usage.

    Any fix for cpu and gpu usage and low fps after the patch ? Or the game will be useless when released... I understand this game, i'm not a noob, but you cant play a game with low fps.

    some ppl on the forum say that will be useless as older ARMA, so im trying to push so this dont happen, and everytime any says a word gets penalized warned or for whatever stupid reason from fanboys that accept playing at 20fps...

    I think it's the distinction between discussing how it runs and complaining about how it runs. If you discuss it and work out it's related to a certain thing, like the infamous ropes in Crysis 3, they can take that on board and fix the issue in a later build. It may not be the next build out, it could take a month or two so be patient! Remember the game is in alpha, so it shouldn't really be expected to run to well.

    Since the game is in an alpha (soon beta) stage, the performance and everything else relating to it probably isn't truly representative of the final product. If people went on the words of 'don't buy Arma 3 because it runs crap', it would be like people saying the Mona Lisa is a really dreadful crap bit of art, but basing that statement when the painting was only half finished.

    I keep crashing out of ARMA 3 Lite ~ 15 minutes into the game, even when my AC is on so don't think it is temperatures.

    I do have a CFX and PhysX hybrid setup. Is that it?

    Also, I found this mod (All in ARMA 3) and it combines ARMA 1, ARMA 2, ARMA 2 CO and Take On Helicoptors into the ARMA 3 engine?!?!

    And there are people playing the ARMA 2 campaigns and DayZ mod in the ARMA 3 engine now on youtube!!!!! WOW...

    So for people who purchased the Alpha, how do you like it compared to ARMA 2? So far, graphically, the LITE engine and animations/models LOOKS way better than ARMA 2. It feels like a real polished AAA product over ARMA 2. But the LITE version keeps crashing on my system so I am hesitant to buy the Alpha now.

    I also wonder if I should just wait for DayZ standalone but ARMA 3 looks and plays incredible when it does not crash on me.

    The amount of stuff patched since Alpha release is just shocking. This is going to be a completely different game than ArmA2 (which was bug filled till the end).

    I am so happy I bought this in Alpha for the amount I did. This is what a real dev team looks like. Man, release is going to be amazing.


    I wonder if that's limited to sound or also flying models from Take On Helicopters.

    Unsure, I do know that the game engine code must have been kept fairly similar between ArmA3 and ArmA2 (Plus Take on Helicopters.) since many of the ArmA 3 systems were added to ArmA2 via earlier beta patches. :)
    (Or from ArmA 2 to ArmA 3)

    But I don't know what exactly they share other than a few simpler things.
    (Like the memory allocator system or what to call it and most of the start parameters.)

    EDIT: Also unsure how many larger changes there will be now that the game is in beta, there's a number of requests on their forums and likely even more on the public tracker they use, such as a different system for weapon attachments to avoid conflicts between different addons since only the last loaded one will take effect currently.

    Well they did listen to the community and add in 3D weapon sights (which look incredible and realistic) recently. They also massively changed the AI behavior based on community feedback (for the better).

    Off-topic:
    My Nvidia Geforce Experience has been updating for the last few days non stop with new titles.
