Flanker562 Arma 3 WIP Thread

[Flanker562]

Okay, things may be working toward a fix for my A3 system right now. Apparently, a Windows update yesterday fixed the freezing issue. Mind you, this is only two sessions, so it could be just something else. At this point, I'm taking a wait-and-see approach, since it's been smooth for a couple of sessions, then it jitters back to freezing, so I'm not yet satisfied that the Windows update fixed the issue. I'm hoping that it does fix it, because I ran with all my usual mods and had no issues, so we'll see and look at whether it is going to fix the freezing issue, which I sorely do hope it was Windows, and not some other issue that I haven't figured out yet and the freezing continues.

Okay mods for Sunday:

- Raven Warfare Group

Now that Arma is more or less stable (as stable it's been for me since launch), I can look at focusing on modding now, instead of "what now brown cow with your freezing" and so on. I still have yet to work on the camo, I may just steal from the Helicopter Pack, as I do have a Desert scheme that I could use, just need to add the RWG logo on. Unfortunately I lack the skill in UVMapping stuff, so I'd like to redo the whole mapping on the helos, but as such the BIS stuff is okay anyway, and pretty much some Photoshop work, and so on. As for other mods, not much else in the works right now. I'm more or less refocusing on making Pilot mission videos, and go from there. It's going to be a light one this week for me. Not much else on the mind.

Well, it's back to freezing. I thought updated drivers would fix it, but no, never. Anyway, I think my game is cursed with freezing, and BIS is no help, but it persists after a couple of days of clean, smooth gaming. Anyway, here's the Desert scheme for the RWG helicopters. It's a basic one, again based on the "optimized" look that some games go for, but really for skinning and other schemes that people want to create based on the old model and such:

Okay, if I remove and then install a Windows Update, the game runs smoothly for two days straight, then starts freezing again. I know it's a pain, but I don't want to do this the rest of my life, constantly updating, removing, and so on. It's just annoying, and it seems that it's not popular enough for BIS to do anything, if they're actually doing anything. It's annoying that this happens and won't go away. Modding is always possible, but I don't have A3 to mod the game. I am a gamer and need to play the game too, so I can relax and enjoy it and so on. Anyway, despite this glaring problem, I don't have much scheduled for mods right now. I may look into other things; I do need to get off my butt and work on the HeliSim for the Kiowa, as I mentioned before many moons ago. I mentioned I was going to integrate it into the Kiowa at some point, but this freezing is a blocker, and I can't always get a good read on what to do or focus on tweaking the mod instead of the freezing.

Okay, it seems that Windoze updates are the Achilles heel of stability. I got a Windows update this morning, and the game works. So, as long as Microsoft doesn't do too much, I should be "okay". Though I'm expecting another update to break the game, so we'll see, and so on. I really never had an issue until October 8; I've been playing the game since it first came out and never had a freezing issue until now. As such, I gotta just roll with it, because there's not much I can do to fix it unless an Update happens, and it either works or doesn't. Anyway, with that notion, the effects of firing the regular AT4 are back, so Sunday:

I really don't have much on the plate, than trying to record a Pilot session without freezing, and so on. It's good service to the watchers that they don't see the worst of A3, and frankly think BIS should be more enthused about game stability than always features and such. As such, that's their MO, so I gotta deal with it.
