First Name: Allan Last Name: McAllister Age: 23 Desired Duty Assignment: 11B Infantry ArmA III Player ID: 76561198012871177 How long have you been playing ArmA III?: In-Game: 971 Hours, Owned for: ~ 2 years 4 months Are you currently a member of an ArmA III gaming clan or unit?: No (Retired 3d...

Looking for anything useful anyone has to share about terrain building. Currently I've been playing around with the Arma 3 Tools, specifically the terrain builder.  I managed to get a flat terrain into the terrain builder and was able to manage to get to the point where I could explore it with...

You can also specify which malloc you want to use using launch parameters.  Setting it to system should fix the issues as that is the default one that your operating system uses and the one Arma uses when it can't find any in the DLL folder.  The added bonus with this is that you won't have to...

You're also free to jump on the TS and talk to some guys if you feel the need.  I'm sure there will be some guys hanging out in the barracks day room dying to tell you all about the unit, if not there's a lot of friendly people hanging out in their channels who generally don't mind being...

I'm not sure if I'm more worried about them using the Bradley against us as a weapon or if I'm more worried about all of the information they just recovered from the Bradley.  Wondering what nasty surprises this could lead to on the battlefield.

I'd also like to add that I randomly got an error message that popped up but since I was zeusing I closed it as quick as I could to continue doing my duty.  It may have been related to something I put down but if I recall correctly it occurred while switching from zeus back to my person.  I also...

I was zeusing for the training and found some weird bugs with the A.I.  Trying to put them into formations, movement speed and setting their aggression level (stealth, calm, combat), would not work as they reset themselves and it would take multiple attempts to get them to just walk in a file. ...

Instead of deleting your DLLs every time the game updates you can just set the malloc in the start-up parameters to equal system.  This essentially tells Arma to just use the default memory allocator that comes with your operating system.  This does the same thing as deleting your DLLs except...

I don't know much about networking but by the looks of it something at that last address is blocking you from sending traffic through it. I did some very quick looking and it may have something to do with how your ISP sends it's traffic or how the server receives your traffic. I did a quick...

Judging by the error message in the bottom left it looks like you are missing some terrain add-ons.  I haven't been on it in forever but if this was from the assault server looks like you may not have been running the extra terrain packs that they have for it.  I think they can be found in the...

#1 To expand a bit more on what PFC Bingham said, there are but their aren't. It's probably a good idea to avoid barging into the command staff channels without permission as they're usually busy doing unit related things.  However there is no rule against you joining a team's or squad's...

Great work CPL Parsons.

Both thing accomplish that same thing to be honest.  If you notice the DLLs in the DLL folder are all different mallocs.  Setting the malloc to system causes ArmA to use the memory allocater that comes with your OS instead of the custom ones created by Bohemia.  Deleting the DLLs cause ArmA to...

Could it possibly be that push to hear mod we added to the mod pack?  I haven't tested it or used it yet but that sounds like it might be whats up.  The keybinds for it should be under the configure add-ons section in the controls option.  Maybe give that a check?

UPDATE: Solved the safety keybinding issue.  Turns out I had set my underwater radio transmit button to the same keybinding.  Totally forgot since this had never been an issue and I've only ever used it once during a fun op when I first joined the unit all the way in April.  Why it only started...
