I bought it since it was 50% on steam. The game of course won't even launch so I have not even been able to try it out. I am reinstalling it now if that does not work then I guess I will just cancel the purchase. I just wondered if there was enough of a player base to even give it a try. Thanks

Thanks View Quote There is definitely a player base. I have it, haven't fired it up in a lil while since i've been playing a lot of overwatch. What's your steam ID? If I see people online I'll jump on. Mine is PancakeOfDoom |

Plenty of player base. Mostly sandbox and a few modded sandbox games that are very popular.
I like PvP. I don't like the whole mil-sim player v AI. It's boring as hell. I also think calling some 17 year old kid on the other side of the country a "Staff Sergeant" or "Colonel" is retarded. Games you might enjoy that you can jump into without having to download mods: - King of The Hill (lots of action) - Wasteland (survival between factions) |

I play with a group of friends every night. Our little unofficial clan/squad/guild/whatever (TACX) has a server up now on DEV Branch running our modified A3Wasteland mission file on the soon to be release Tanoa map. Its running great. The new map is pretty amazing, the new guns are looking good too. If you have pre-ordered the APEX expansion, select the Apex_Sneak_preview on the BETAS tab of the Arma3 properties screen in Steam. Its about a 6GB download and you will have to switch back to the Stable build to play on any "normal" servers but there are a ton of Tanoa servers out there to try out, ours is best of course :-) |

The map markers bug is a dev branch issue, we have reported it.
To fix it, for one play session; 1) Exit the server and server browser to the main menu of Arma3 2) Click OPTIONS 3) Click GAME 4) Click the DIFFICUTLY tab 5) Change the difficulty pre-set to RECRUIT and click OK. 6) Go back to the server browser and back to the server and play If the difficulty is already set to recruit, change it to something else, click ok. Then go back in and change it back to RECRUIT and click OK again. Then reconnect. This will keep the map markers working till you leave the server. If you log out, lock up or the server restarts you have to do the procedure again. Sucks, I know. |

Thinking about picking this up during the sale. Only recently jumped into BF4 (PC) and having a blast tho

Check out the Exile mod. Depending on the server and the mods they are running it's usually a fun time, even playing solo.

Can someone give me a quick low down on gear loadout?
Is it pre set by servers? Or can you choose it while in the game / before you start the game? I spent 30 minutes last night trying to figure it out. |

It now has its own stand alone game. Epoch is a mod for Arma 2, and now a mod for Arma 3, but not really any zombies in the arma 3 mod, which is nice (exploding Frankensteins, and demonic gods that kill you if you look in their eyes) I was never a fan of Day Z. The Mod or the stand alone. |

Been playing for a week.. love picking people off at 1600 + meters.
However, the whole prone thing is wonky. When you add in the bipod it is even more so. The whole sway thing? Holy jeebus. |

Ok so running into issues again with this game, even with using the Arma launcher.
I join a server using the launcher, as the loading bar is goign accross the top of my screen i get these pop ups that say something like the mod and then an item,lets say a scope. unable to locate and i hit close. then the game keeps loading another pop up, mod name and then like helmet unable to load. i close that. then i get into the server spawn menu it locks up and throws me to the menu. i thought that the arma launcher was supposed to solve all of these weird mod issues and connectivity issues? |

DLC isn't the game
Dowloadable Content is basically official add-ons to the game. Apex is just a new addition to Arma 3.

Heavy CPU usage and not as much GPU usage as usual. I'm just upset my TrackIR doesn't work with Apex |

Hmm what is this unit shenanigans... We might need an ARFCOM unit, unless I searched wrong.

Anybody get it? How is it?
I read there was a major platform upgrade for the base game as well. |

well im officially pissed off at this game.
ive been trying to connect for literally three hours now. wasted my whole fucking afternoon, browsed forums trying to trouble shoot. i use the fucking arma launcher, which is supposed to download the proper mods and guarantee connection, instead i load the fucking mission file. get to the screen where i see the map, and suddenly get thrown back to the main menu with no fault code or error box. just spontaneous connection loss. i dont fucking know, i have verified my mods over and over. I dont fucking know, this is why i have never gone towards PC gaming. So much fucking work just for me to not play a game. |

Did you download mods?
And what were you trying to play? If you downloaded mods and picked a random server to play on, it's probably because the mods aren't on that server. We need more info |

I'm using the arma launcher which is supposed to automatically enable and disable the appropriate mods so it is user friendly and just connect you. I was trying to get on exile servers, everything from standard exile to exile win a stack of about 5 mods. I get into the game, see the lower hydration and food bar, then within seconds it says kicked from game. this happens on every single server. Sometimes I don't even get the kicked form server popup sometimes it just returns me to main menu. |

Bueller ? View Quote so the DLC added the one map, plus like 15 new guns, new vehichles and aircraft, uniforms, armor , the whole deal. the map is pretty different for arma, really dense jungle which leads to some CQB engagement distances. theres multiple large cities on the map for urban combat and such. I haven't even played the single player yet, I just went straight to multiplayer servers with exile and ryans zombies enabled. Its cool, I just got into arma so its all fun to me. |
