Arma 3 - Developer Diary
Bohemia Interactive released a special Arma 3 developer diary video, providing more details on Tanoa - the new terrain featured in the upcoming Arma 3 expansion, which is scheduled for release in the first half of 2016.
In this developer diary, Arma 3's Creative Director Jay Crowe and Project Lead Joris-Jan van 't Land discuss how the devteam came to a South Pacific destination, describe some of the key characteristics and points of interest on Tanoa, and reflect on development so far and the roadmap ahead.
*Game footage in this video was captured from an early development version.
Besides the new Tanoa terrain, the Arma 3 expansion will include new vehicles, weapons, attachments and gear, characters, playable content, and more. The expansion is scheduled to be released in the first half of 2016 and will be distributed as DLC for the base Arma 3 game. More information about the expansion will be shared at a later date.

Looks awesome! The only ArmA 3 DLC I have at the moment is the go karts. This expansion might get me playing ArmA 3 again and regularly. Looking forward to see what the community can do with this expansion!

Czech Republic for Arma 2 was the best expansion imo.
But until they sort out the performance issues, netcode, super 100/100 enemy ai eyesight and their ability to see through solid objects, trees/foliage...Im going to pass on all things arma.

If you ever thought they would be resolved you were deluded, everyone has always known the engine is horse****e and the only thing that will help it is either a full engine rebuild or getting some DX12 implementation, which is likely in the future.

For expecting a developer to support their product?

I've played enough ARMA III and almost never had ANY performance issues. I even downsampled FHD at 114-125%! All things maxed with a little tweak here and there. Flying is smooth, walking is smooth, driving is smooth.

Its easily one the worst optimized games on the PC.

So ARMA 3 has a Crysis Island Total Conversion now?!
Edit - watched the video and WOW... With all the mod support available for ARMA 3, that map would be a killer base to build a Predator, Vietnam, Crysis, or related jungle type mod. Absolutely beautiful.
ARMA is cpu dependent due to the way the AI is singled threaded only. Plus the huge streaming map requires SSD or RAMDISKs, like GTA 4, to enable to run smooth. Bohemia did hinted DX12 may improve performance so we all are waiting to see what it can do.

They do "support" it and its a hell of a lot better than it was in beta, but its well known that the entire engine is seriously flawed and when the level of ill optimization runs that deep I have no expectation of the magic fix that some people seem to expect.
It's a shame but if someone bought in expecting serious performance increases it means they did not look up the history of the engine and the nature of Bohemia.

True, I've done enough troubleshooting for other people and had some issues, but those are solved, smooth for me Of course that doesn't change the fact that it has heaps of issues for others

I honestly think Bohemia should focus more time on making more weapons and vehicles for the core game and improve the overall gameplay and remove all freaking d-sync/lag.

Looking at there studio, they don't seem well funded.
Maybe they can't afford good people that can help with performance etc.

Oh please don't give me that self deluded Typical bohemia interactive White Night.There is no excuse to make a game that runs this poorly over this much Hardware as someone who has worked in 3D and a game studio and helped a few others i know you have a priority list and its gross incompetence to
put performance at the bottom of the list when your product is on PC.
Anymore excuses Puppy dog?

Aussie Aussie Aussie oi oi oi
But yeah, Bohemia need to wind in their ambition on this series. They clearly cant handle games this big with out severely sacrificing stability. They spend far too much time touting "big square km mega game", rather than something thats playable, and imo the game just isnt fun to to play online with its performance issues.
Then theres the ai that can see through solid foliage and ark 7.5mm AK rounds from a bigillion miles away like they're mortars aaannnd hit you directly.
