ATTENTION to server admins:
arma3server_x64.exe uses BattlEye's beserver_x64.dll which needs beserver_x64.cfg !

Arma 9.7GB update?

Are others getting this? If so, anybody know what it is?

Maybe it's just my pc being weird...

wish they would just code the game better/better optimiztion, or picked a different engine to make the game.

[Roman]

Wow, finally

[Eclipse]

I have such hopes that it will run better now but idk haha

[Nope]

i hope we will get more fps and less bugs lol

[Code3volved]

yeah there is a ♥♥♥♥ ton of fixes/changes im excited to see if this helps with game stability or optimazation.

read this:
Added: A new Fuel hit point for tracked armored vehicles (so they can lose fuel)
Added A new Hull hit point for wheeled vehicles (so they can be destroyed on a single critical hit)

this was missing from arma3 so long..It was one of the best features in arma2. so glad that this made to a3 at last.

well from my dev build observations, if you have a decent computer with SSD you won'T have those meaningless stutters - milisecond freezes anymore. performance will only improve from now on.

I know this is off topic but I can't find the forum for arma 2? Is the game still active , I have arma 3 but my computer has a tough time running it and I think it would run arma 2 better but I don't want to buy it if nobody plays it

Tweaked: Rabbits, snakes and fish are no longer bleeding
Best fix ever.
Iv been trying to bandage the poor buggers and take them to the hospital
