Complete the obstacle course and it says success and when you try and advance it says incomplete.

The auth servers are under immense strain since everyone is trying to do the same thing at once, when the demand subsides the issue with auth will also, during beta it was flawless, all my training results saved just fine but obviously not even close to the load it's under now.

Umm wtf does Steam want to download more files even though I pre-loaded it while it was available on GA? I thought I just needed to unlock?

Bah, I can't log in. Trauma's right, the auth servers must be getting HAMMERED.

So.. should I wait and download this later?

I'm going to wait until its on the GA server.

Later it is then. I don't even know how to check what content is on the GA server :(

All I did was try and load it. Then double click the item in steam. It brings up a box to show the download progress and where its coming from. My content was coming in off Internode which is no good for me so I paused it and shut down steam.

Later it is then. I don't even know how to check what content is on the GA server :(

see post#2 in this thread

I'm going to wait until its on the GA server.

Valve just told us it should be online now

I thought the load had eased cuz I got my 1st two training scores saved, then it timed out on the 3rd one :(

Apparently they had over 20 million connections yesterday, lol@auth servers.

great info trog with the steam content server checker thing

QGL needs some sort WIKI with all these little cool apps and s***

and maybe one on how to post on qgl

Well I did not see this one coming at all... the entire Dev team got fired 1 day after the release. AA3 going 100% in-house at Redstone Arsonal o.O.

http://www.aao30.com/?p=639

f*** if I know what will happen now, they claim they will be supporting it with fixes/releases in the coming months.

qgl has a wiki, tit. ;)

Wow what an epic f***ing fail. The whole thing looks like it has gone tits up.

We’d like to thank all of you for your support of America's Army 3. The level of interest since release has been tremendous. As you are aware, there have been many challenges since launch. The vast majority of issues you may have experienced has been a result of the huge demand on our network which has unfortunately impacted training qualification and game server performance.

The feedback that we have received from the AA3 community has been invaluable in our efforts to improve player performance. The America's Army Team is working to resolve the problems and to bring you a solution as quickly as possible.

We are dedicated to providing continuous improvements throughout the life of the game and our first course of action will be to release a patch that addresses some of these issues so that you can enjoy the game over the weekend. Once the patch is available, your AA3 game will be automatically updated through Steam or the Deploy Client.

We thank you for your continued support of AA3 and look forward to seeing you on your next mission. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please send us an email at aacm@americasarmy.com

Posted on the AA3 forums a short while ago, wait and see I guess.

2 random crashes already, not even managed to get some gameplay....

cant get past basic training.. wont save my scores :(

Some kind of patch seems to have been released. Another DL this morning.

Nope...still doesn't work. Has anyone been able to successfully link their AA 2.0 account with their 3.0 account?

yeh same done my basic training but it wont save :(

I still can't even get into a training mission. fail

heh, you would think that the American Army could spare a few $'s out of their Billions to buy some good servers and network goodness.

Don't even bother, I managed to get -all- the basic training stuff saved, including a specialisation.

There's only Yank servers, and lo and behold, once you're on a server, it still says you don't have the proficiency to use anything but the m16a4 with iron sights anyway.

Gameplay, despite supposedly having an 80ping (not bloody likely), seems like its absolute dogballs s***, most people on the server were complaining it was terrible compared to previous AA's....

I didn't play the previous ones, but i'll be uninstalling this anyway, its s***.

[edit] Local content removed.

The patch has fixed auth for me, got all my training done, 1st server I joined did not recognise my raining also, but I had the foresight to just rejoin, got all my weapons/nades/IFAK then, the pings displayed are wrong for some reason, it's about 2-3x whats shown, and yea, atm it's all US servers, GA had one up but I could not join it (before the patch), no idea why.

Overall, the patch helped ALOT. Once we get some local servers it will be sweet as, west coast US servers are playable... just.

Such a shame to go from the awesomeness that was AA2.0 to this...

Give it time, the gamplay is alot better, just a rough start... really rough start lol.

the patch helped save the first basic training..but wont go past that..

also i was trying to adjust mouse settings in the training mission.. there is no way to resume the mission.. its f***ing smelly ball bags

i guess you get what you pay for :)

i gave up on this game.. after finnally connecting to a server.. i couldnt get a spot cause the join team didnt work.. 2 ppl got into a team before me.. i uninstalled - looked like a 10y/o game anyway

You were in the stupid spectate list.

This game is a bit dodgy.
No Aussie servers makes baby Jesus cry. Also the calculations for your/the servers ping is just plain wrong.

There are some aussie servers up, it's just no showing them in the server list for some reason, but search around in the aus AA community and you will find the IP's, I hear that some of the aussie servers will soon be official servers, should fix that.

And yea pings are about 1/3 what they really are, kinda lame.

Well, let up with the IP address, I know of the GA test server at 203.46.105.60:21000 but it is currently borked.

Im very dissapointed at how buggy this thing is. It should not have been released in this state. Want a POS. I hope it gets fixed somehow. Not sure how long though now the dev team have been axed.

^ Thats not good to hear E.T. so i think i might give this a miss for a while.

man, its just so frustrating. You go try and check or change a control setting or anyting else in the menu's and you have to quit the mission your in because the dev team forgot to allow a way to turn of the stupid fukin menu. Did they even test this thing at all? No wonder they got sacked.

Just try out those IP's see how you go, some may be down from time to time.

To get in open console and type "open xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" you might need to add the port, default AA3 port is 8777, try with and without port if you have issues.

Hey, can someone help me please! trying to play multiplayer AA3 however I keep crashing everytime it finishes loading up the server.

I remember in old AA2 with the punkbuster update, but then it sitll let me in server and update there.

My system specifications are:
RAM 2048MB
Geforce 9500GT
4000+ dualcore AMD 64 X2

I have latest drivers for everything, and mostly all high spec games I can run, BIA:HH, Alone in the Dark5, Dead Space, Red Alert 3

Someone with information can you please help me!

Thankyou in advanced;

ksinoe

AA3 is a piece of crap. Stick to AA2...

Doesnt look good so ill have another look later down the track.

lol AA2 wont be supported much if at all.

As opposed to the awesome support of AA3...

I mean the game itself, the launch sucked huge sweaty balls, but the game play is good, better than AA2 imo.

but way wosre then say.. cs 1.5

bugga me i donloaded it from the Beta test and now the AA3 deploy installer wont let me in well a fine bunch of yankas they are anyway happy gamming all HOOAH.

WFM, there is a patch been released which addresses a bucket load of issues. Steam is Dling it now so I'll see ho wit goes.

EDIT: Its still buggy as all s***. I cant get the HUD to show, cant get Anti Aliasing to work and if you hit escape to get to the settings menu while in game, you cant escape from the menus rendering you unable to play. Ahhhh f***.

Yep, had that and just uninstalled the game. How the hell did that pass testing is beyond me.

Game finally uninstalled. I really did try to give this one a chance because AA1 and 2 were so awesome....but this is just so poor. I will never try AA again even if they manage to fix this massive cock up.
