    What PC do you have? I'm running it at high in an i3 and a 7750. Nothing special but I'm getting decent fps.

    I've got an All-in-One at the moment so its an i5-3450s 2.80GHz with a GeForce GT 640M.

    Only tend to worry about running games at a reasonable FPS whatever the quality hit.

    Yeah like not being able to take guns from vehicles without getting into them first. Also I don't like the way when you use your scroll wheel to highlight "get in vehicle as driver" you have to press enter to get in instead of just clicking.

    Instead of pressing enter, you can just press down of the mouse wheel.

    Don't want to sound like a scrounger, but if anyone can spare an Alpha Lite code I could gift them a copy of Dead Island :)

    I have a couple Arma 3 lites if anyone is inneed, they must have been added recently. pm or steam id platinums

    Also, whats with the [Dev] tag in front of the multiplayer servers


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,143 ✭✭✭jumbobreakfast


    I guess it means that those servers allow people with the latest dev version to join. (right click on game in steam-->properties-->beta-->development version)

    I'm sticking with the standard alpha version for now as a lot of servers block the dev version and I dont have the bandwidth to be re-downloading arma 3 if the dev versions goes tits up.

    the gaellords servers wont be running the dev version at least for the moment.

    put on the dev version for a bit. Found it far laggier andnot as many servers. Got about 3 crashes in a row and have switched back to the normal one and see how it goes.

    been a few days since i played I had forgotten i applied the Beta - turned off now only 4-6 decently pinged servers on offer the rest (100+) block the Beta/Dev version.

    Wasteland seems to have transgressed from Arma 2 to 3. Shame the servers or clients keep crashing, Alpha Blues i guess.

    Beta not till Q2 2013 whatever that means

    How on earth do you actually complete the "Escape from stratis" Co-op mission included in the alpha? Me and my friend got to the airbase with an AI squad, grabbed a heli and flew out of the map but it didn't complete, is it because we left one guy behind or is it bugged?

    Think there's Humvee's you need to get into on the east side of the base?

    Me and my mate juse flew out of the map and we won. Didn't have to pick up the AI I don't think. Probably a bug.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,749 ✭✭✭dan_ep82


    Does anyone need/want a alpha lite invite?

    Got at least one spare


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,031 ✭✭✭Cravez


    I have two Alpha Lite keys to spare, first two people to PM me their steam names will get them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,340 ✭✭✭✭MadYaker


    I have 3 to give away.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 14,803 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dcully


    What exactly are the lite keys? Either way id like one please, can I play waste land with this?


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 3,096 Mod ✭✭✭✭ktulu123


    I think they are only for the single player missions. ie the 4 showcase ones


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,340 ✭✭✭✭MadYaker


    They are kind of like a demo that you'd get free on steam for some games. 4 single player missions and thats it, no multiplayer. But it'd be a good chance to see how it runs on your machine and if you like the feel of it.

    As I said I have 3 if anyone wants them PM me with a link to your steam profile.

    Alpha lite has no MP or mod support.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 733 ✭✭✭synesthesia


    i still have one lite to give away too.

    Played on Gaellords wasteland arma 3 server today .... what a blast!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 758 ✭✭✭platinums


    What a shame, was playing a great game of blitzkrieg, and some one starts teleporting everyone to the same spot, queue bulletstorm.

    I really wish they worked on the cheating for A3, it may initially not have been designed for public servers but Id say the Public multiplayer is a large part of its commercial success of late.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,749 ✭✭✭dan_ep82


    AFAIK no anti cheat is running yet


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,031 ✭✭✭Cravez


    Still one Alpha lite key left. PM me your steam and it's yours.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,749 ✭✭✭dan_ep82


    Same,still have 2,maybe 3


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 890 ✭✭✭CrinkElite


    Can I have one please? I need to benchmark.
    Also, do ye notice a discrepancy between single and multiplayer FPS? (as in with ARMA2)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,513 ✭✭✭Damo 2k9


    Dan_ep, just sent u a pm, if you still have it that'd be great :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 739 ✭✭✭flynnlives
