I just want a Arma 3 server that is pure military, are there any servers that play human vs human ?

Have a look for King of the Hill, Wasteland and EUTW.

They are all good PvP servers. KOTH and EUTW are decent to play solo as its easy enough to run solo in the AO (KOTH) or group up in EUTW. I find myself getting bored very easily if I'm playing Wasteland solo though, lack of people to talk to gets boring.

Does anybody have an i7 around 4.5GHz, a 980Ti and 1440p monitor?

Would you follow me on a server for 10-20mins so we can compare FPS in the same location? Will paypal you the equivalent of an expensive beer

I've just gone from 1080 to 1440 and the lower fps in the built up areas is hurting a little.. G-Sync helps it a lot but I'd much prefer the higher framerates in the first place

Want to know if I'm going to see a good improvement going from a 980 to a 980Ti.

I'm only on a 1080p monitor but rest of the spec is bang on, if you plugged your 1080 back in we could do the tests and then it'd just be a case of averaging off a few FPS to account for the res upgrade?

Yeah worth a try, it'd be on an EUTW server as that's where I play mostly. What's your steam? Just give me a message when you're up for it?

All going well, we should see it towards the end of April.

A few FPS? The change in grunt needed to go from 1080p to 1440p is huge - over 50% more pixels! That's going to take a toll on any system.

I have a i5 2500K @ 4.5G + 980TI , I used to have 2 x 980 OC but I got rid of them

Trying to compare on mp servers is a waste of time, the server itself will effect things better to try on single player

godinman · 6 Feb 2016 at 13:11

Man, the ai absolutely sucks in this game. Took a hq last night and coop server and didn't spot two guys in separate buildings until it should have been too late but they just sort of got a bit stuck in the buildings, didn't crouch didn't try and get and cover and I was able to walk up to them and ko them. Very lame.

Isn't this game about 18 months old? How can the ai be so crap? I guess this is why they have stupidly good accuracy as otherwise the game would be far to easy.

hughtrimble · 6 Feb 2016 at 13:42

Is the difficulty set by the server? Sounds like it was set too easy...

I agree there could be better integration in terms of AI calling in air strikes and armour, as they don't do that at all. AI using drones...yes please.

I know that full well

But if I'm in the same position as somebody else, looking the same direction at the same time with the same settings then it's going to be somewhat comparable.

Most likely down to the server itself. Whether it be a difficulty setting or server lag.

Really struggling to find any decent two player coop maps for this game.

Any ideas? Would be greatful.

(This game runs like ass on a 3970x, gtx 780 at 4k haha)

Spenj · 7 Feb 2016 at 11:30

Like the majority of games, A3 is much more enjoyable playing with others or even better a squad of some kind.

Mainly playing WoW at the moment but do like to dip in and out and play this. Will play most game-modes, add me on steam ( see below)

Spuddy · 8 Feb 2016 at 17:57

Put KOTH on today and equipped the GM26 Lynx for a change.

Although it seems since one of the recent updates where they overhauled fatigue etc that you cant even so much as jog or run with this weapon. You can only do a slow walk and fatigue is at maximum even when stood stationary. And as some of you know, max. fatigue seems to blur/dull the edges of the screen which is extremely annoying.

Surely this is a bug? :/

Christurbo · 9 Feb 2016 at 14:26

Anyone any usefull links to settings? Only getting 20-50fps on a i5 3570k @4.2ghz and a gtx 980 g1

What draw distance are you using? That I find massively impacts fps, so I just played with it until it was acceptable.

On Holiday · 10 Feb 2016 at 08:43

Player v Player Multiplayer: 1200/600/100 - unless I get in an armoured vehicle and can actually see beyond that range.

If I'm going into Kavala then I'll drop 1200 to 600.

1200m View
600m Object
100m Shadows

@Christurbo, these FPS figures. Where are you with those readings?

Single player or multiplayer?

Empty of Full etc?

Server FPS affects Client FPS.

Daytrader · 10 Feb 2016 at 12:23

i hate any sort of popup, i use the below on just a 780ti and i get good fps, i lowered until i got constant 60fps most places.

3800
2100
100

My Arma3 is no longer working

Running through Steam it either hangs and crashes or it's about 5 million pixels wide (i.e. pixelated)

Any ideas guys? I've not changed anything.
