When I try to report an issue it fails beause the Product Version drop-down selector is blank. I have tried 3 different browsers and all the same. it gives an error: APPLICATION ERROR #1303 Invalid value for field "Game Version". Please use the "Back" button in your web browser to return to the previous page. There you can correct whatever problems were identified in this error or select another action. You can also click an option from the menu bar to go directly to a new section. I have tried to manually type in the product version but it will not allow that.

Agreed. Total blackness is not actually realistic. IRL there is always enough light for human night vision to make out surroundings.

For as long as NV is ultra-rare and duped there will an unfair night advantage for cheats. Turning up the gamma control levels the playing field a bit and makes night playable for the masses. I have found in the last week that a change has happened somewhere and gamma no longer works. I simply won't play in pitch black where an NV duper can get an easy kill. Equally it's near impossible not to constantly aggro zombies during the day so that a no-go either. If gamma is not working for me again soon I'll just move to other games until the standalone comes out.

I tried to play the base game but kept on dying on the initial training course. Having made several attempts to get through it I then thought 'FUCK THIS FOR A GAME OF SOLDIERS!' I'll try again when ARMA 3 comes out.

Agree with the OP. I have yet to find any vehicles in weeks of play. They should be far more common. The game would be so much more fun if you had a vehicle most of the time.

Duping rare gear makes the game unbalanced. The easy way to combat this and level the playing field is to make really rare items more common. Everyone after a few sessions play can have game changing gear like NVG's. Then there will not be such and incentive for cheaters to fill up tents with duped gear.

Rocket has already said duping cannot easily be fixed in the mod version. The suggestion is an easy solution to the problem in the mod only. I would expect the standalone to actually tackle the mechanics of duping. Duping is driven by rarity and the unfair advantages certain very rare items give a player. The suggestion is serious for sure.

They are only common to those that dupe. Therefore not common at all if you play fair. It's about levelling the field and eradicating unfair exploits. The people who dupe them don't go round handing them out in acts of charity.

Boy is it a pain in the butt. Can the devs please confirm its a bug to be squashed? My friend and I keep getting hit by it and having to meet up all over again. It's just a total time waster. it's a shame because otherwise the game is quite playable at the moment.

Personally I think native support is shit and unintuitive. Xpadder gets me where I need to be control wise with a minimum of fuss. Aiming is worse than with a mouse but you can't have everything in life. .

Within two years probably. Tell yourself that and you will be happy when it comes early.

Why disable the respawn? What if you get stuck in the wilderness or the sea? Also is the zombie hearing being increased or decreased? Finally, when can we spawn in as a group to the same spot?

It's crap, whether its meant to be there or not. Now if they were carrying baseball bats and deliberately trying to break my legs i could accept it as design not glitch.

I get no sound at all. There is ambient soind when loading but no sound once in game.

lost my makarov of all things. Still have my winchester, for the moment anyway...lol

Consistently getting no sound in game on different servers. Ambient fx and von on loading but once in no sound at all.

Got kicked first go then got stuck on loading. Then no sound in game, tried rejoining a couple of times to see if that got the sound back but just made me spawn without my pistol. Now stuck on loading again. The only way out is to terminate ArmA. :(

There are indeed many reasons to co-operate. Unfortunately nearly everyone will shoot you on sight or in the back of the head for your gear, to protect theirs or just for the lulz. Until there is a deterrent to murder nothing will change. Nearly everyone likes co-op play. You are preaching to the converted. The game simply does not make approaching strangers a realistic option right now. Unless you want to die that is....

@OP: If you don't like 3rd person - play on a 3DP=0 server. You are already catered for. Stop complaining and use your brain.

When I pick up a crowbar it goes in my primary weapon slot and it is visible in my hand. Why will it not swing when the left mouse button is pressed? It shows no ammo like the axe. Is ammo needed? I have tried the reload key and the fire rate key and nothing changes. It refuses to swing. Is the crowbar spawning without ammo a bug?

Friendly Fire - Blue on Blue. It is a real problem when you group up. I can survive for days as a lonewolf and die in minutes after joining a group of friends. Could players group up via the player list and then see a halo round group members? With same few skins being used and everyone looking the same a proper ID system is desperately needed. There has to be a substitute for real-life facial recognition and the way everyone looks and dresses uniquely.

Just did some tests and I have some great results using Bandicam to record and Vidcoder to encode to x264. http://www.bandicam.com/ free if you don't mind the bandicam website link on you video as in my example about. http://vidcoder.codeplex.com/ Freeware. With Bandicam use preset 'Youtube 720p' even if the game is running at 1080p like mine was. Recording at 1080p is overkill. Bandicam outputs an mp4 file using MPEG-1 codec at about 16mbit. MPEG-1 is very inefficient so we will convert to x264 using Vidcoder. Start Vidcoder and open the mp4 file. Choose the 'high profile' preset. Then click the settings button above the preset to open the advanced settings window. 'Container' should say MP4. Go through the tabs making adjustments as follows Picture: Anamorphic=Strict, Cropping=Automatic (you should have 720p input going to 720p output) Video: Quality=Constant at 22 on the slider, Codec will say H.264 (x264) Audio: Codec=AAC (faac), Bitrate=192 No other settings should need messing with. Save as a preset like 'HP x264 RF22 Youtube' Select a destination folder & filename then start encoding. The resultant mp4 file will have a bitrate of about 5mbit. Perfect for 720p on youtube. The file will be about 1/3 the original size now saving loads of time when uploading. Upload to Youtube.

Rocket has already said the reason is a technical one. Arma 2 has a limitation on the types of animations used for secondary weapons. He had to use primary. Wait for ARMA 3 to see any change here.

There is not enough morphine to deal with the brittle bone disease bug.

Minus the sound. The fog itself already increases difficulty.
