Not sure if this is considered as bringing up a old topic, if so i apologize in advance.
But i do know a thing or two about ACRE i have thoroughly tested this mod, the conception is it is not stable I disagree it is a very stable mod that really enhances CO-OP play & immersion in ARMA.
All it requires is the knowledge of how the MOD works and the steps you have to take to stop conflicts that occur.
To get this working 100% you need to do the following..
- Unmap the VON & PTT (Push to talk key) in ARMA control options, as this is defaulted to CAPSLOCK witch is the Coded PTT key for ACRE.
- Keep up with the latest TS3 version so all clients are running the same version.
- Make sure all clients are using and have assigned a push to talk key in there teamspeak3 and are not using voice activation. (The continuous pickup of voice activation can cause ACRE to crash.)
- Make sure you have the latest sound.dll provided by jayarma2lib from SIXUpdater, as older or corrupt versions of this cause the main issue.
- Basic understanding of the use of frequency and power of each radio that is provided in ACRE and use the correct ones depending on how your mission is setup.
- Knowledge of how to properly send a radio transmission with a "break" before transmission is sent and a "break" before the end of transmission, with a "break" before transmitting back. (As multiple clients transmitting at the same time causes feedback and a LOS (Loss of signal) of all that are transmitting.
- Finally most of the "Loss of Communication" that occur to some users while using ACRE is due to many variables.. Such as terrain elevation and or object's that the transmission is being sent and received from, to having the COMMS set to the right amplified setting for different environments such as being in a vehicle or inside a building for example.
All in all ACRE is a stable and very beneficial addon if your looking for the most realistic & enhance the immersion in your game.
Just needs to be understood like anything.
Best regards Gary.
