Just the Single Player/Bots/Skirmish

Right, so ... does this game let me play me own little battles with bots? None of that multiplayer mucking about, just proper war on me terms and to play alone with bots, as in Arma 3, but at a decent framerate?

Sorry, but there's no proper single player mode or option in this game. You can host a private Game Master server, though, which is quite similar to Zeus module from Arma 3 that allows you to spawn objects & AI & give waypoints/commands. It was updated with a game pause feature recently that allows you to use it as a sort of Eden editor for creating mock-up battles.

The AI is still a constant work-in-progress, but they also recently received an early driving, smoke, medical and cover mechanics and their behavior is quite playable nowadays. Do note that they have no ability to fly vehicles yet. There are also no vanilla tracked vehicles like IFVs or tanks in the game.

Performance depends purely on your specs, as there's no similar engine CPU handicap with Enfusion engine like there was with Real Virtuality 3. The game is more GPU limited this time around.

Edit: Multi-core optimization is also finally coming to Arma 3 and it can be tested on experimental dev branch. You should check it out and see if it helps with your framerate on that game.

If this makes it run better, that’d be spot-on, mate. I’ll pop back later tonight after givin’ it a go ...

So, regarding the Dev-branch ... yeah, it’s better… but “better” doesn’t mean good. Six fireteams scrape by at 70 FPS, but vehicles? Forget it.

I’m over it. Time to move on.

How are you supposed to Pause? I don't see the button for it.
