After installing patch I was able to complete training.

My account is updated immediately as well.

Could also be just that there are a lot of people not playing as well.
less server load.

The only problem now, is that there are no servers showing up in the server list. That was yesterday.

I still can't link my AA3 account to my AA2.X account.

here is a screenie of my account as it stands

It shows basic as qual for adv rifleman but I did qual as expert (have the badge in achievments)

as far as the update goes.
It was automatic with steam.

Don't know how it works with deploy client etc.

Have played on a couple of servers today.

A bit laggy, probably due to them being US or EU servers.

But overall, not bad for gameplay. Allowing for the lag.

have nearly reached 7 honor.

also, got my first coin

stick with it.
it appears to be working OK for me.
Have had only one freeze, but after a few seconds I was kicked from server and I was able to rejoin straight away - no game restart.

so, overall - I am happy with AA3, at the moment, as I know it will get better.

In game, it says there are 80 servers but only shows about 3-5.
On AA3 website, after you log into your account and click servers,
it shows nearly 140 available.

It doesn't say what country they are or what ping when you are in your account area of website. But ping is indicated when in game. So I just join and hope it is close

NEW AA3 PATCH RELEASED
ONCE INSTALLED VERSION SHOULD BE 3.0.3

STEAM USERS: Updates to America's Army 3 have been released
The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted.

The specific changes include:

America's Army 3

Removes Password from AA3Launch.log

Fix for MBS not working after server changes to a new map

Fixes TeamReady in Mission Preplanning

Updated authentication SDK to improve reliability and performance

Fix for freezing on training mission load

Improved performance on loading maps/training missions

Fixed several small memory leaks

Fixed performance issue with server that caused it to load UI elements into the server (where they aren't needed) and thus use up additional CPU and memory.

Modified training authentication so it is more efficient

Modified AMD negative delta time exception handling so it no longer stops the server or client, but just logs the event

Fixed Admin add Player Admin

Fixed Admin kicking of players. Now works properly with Soldier name and has optional kick by player ID

Add new AdminListPlayers to get list of players and their player ID's

Removes most of the server log spam, especially that tied to missions and mission setup and ROE

Fixes several issues related to ROE firing off when player is bleeding, asphyxiating, or falling after being wounded by ROE

You can now strafe on ladders so you don't get stuck in Pipeline or Obstacle Course. Strafe too far and you fall off, just like AA 2.x

Modified program startup to clear out any old ATS temporary files

Improved scoring messaging support for training missions

Fixes several scoring issues

Optimizes more of the authentication code and adds better exception handling in it

Adjusts STS (stats) integration to better detect invalid objects to avoid crashes

Fixes issues with single player stats not correctly initializing all of the time

Adds feedback to UI when player purchases training until purchase is complete (says "Purchasing")

Modifies MBS to track how many players are playing vs. how many players are on the server (player + Spectators) and now MBS browser only shows the number of players (so the count won't exceed max players)

Turns HUD off whenever menu is activated (still an issue with battle planner activation the first time, however)

Adjusts the close menu logic to always close properly so double menus should no longer happen

Your lucky I got 4 coins and not 1 of them shows up all honor servers to.

I had a bit of a go with my basic marksmanship training.. (offline since i've got no clue how to access my reserved name..) and one thing i've noticed, No ammo count, adds a bit of realism i'd say

Post by **ADF-TISM** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 12:20 pm

Post by **ADF-BUNGY** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 5:15 pm

you will need to download/install first patch.
then reinstall second patch.

More info in AA forums --> http://forum.americasarmy.com/viewtopic.php?t=300599

A quote from the forums:

MajorWinters wrote:The soldier screen wil always display AA3.0, if you see 3.0.3 on the main login screen then you are running the latest version of the game.

honestly its BS, what a pile of junk. No wonder the DEVs quit or were sacked, thank god theyre not responsible for ppls lives,,,, idiots

STEAM is JUNK!!!!
i think somehow its skipped a patch or something. Relying on STEAM your at there mercy.

AA3 is waste of time right now. For more than just a couple of us.

I have noticed excellent pings for 2.8.X servers all round the world... woo hoo it aint dead yet

Want some cheese with your whine?..

Thats what happens when things are rushed, IMO until it was publically beta tested for 3-6 months it was going to be a glitchy pos.

I dont want Steam on my pc, and despise the marketing strategy of Steams guys and/or the stupidity of the AA3 or Army guys who decided to put it through Steam.. more fn middle men with greed in their eyes seeing how many ads they can shove in your face as fast as possible. More 3rd party software to silently monitor stuff you have nfi about rararara.. all for marketing purposes or so they say.

Just DLd the .rar version off ADF FTP, no bastard ever around to talk about it to, dont even know if its a relevant version that will let me play online etc..

AND i was informed verbally that IF you use Nvidia chipset graphics that you have to change some settings to see your HUD, well whats left of a HUD anyway..

great to see a NEW AA3 Specific Forum Area where all AA3 crap could be kept seperate from AA2 and in a fashion that was structured a bit better than the rest of the forums which is a freakin mess with irrelevant crap from the dark ages!!..

Do I need to tell you guys that 'You couldnt organise a root in a brothel!' too?!..

lols... aaah, I feel better now..

Hello strangers, Im back, start running again.. Im wabbit hunting!

hahahah, i love the way you started the post with

"Want some cheese with your whine?.. "

then started whining yourself ... kudos to all, so in short, people are whinging about aa3, well, aa2 fight night was great last night, no whining at all (except cheech with his flu) ... i'm relatively new to aa2, so i guess i've still got a good 12 months left before i'm tired of it

Youll get a lil bored around 35 honor,, then again around 60,, perhaps again around 70 but then you see 100 on the horizon you may add another game to ya play list (Im on Postal2, BioShock and ArmA) but youll come back when ya realise the gameplay and comradery of AA2 is the most fun.

After all its just a game,,,,,,,,,,, to most of us
