Arma 3
Menu not working properly
I had a quick look through these posts, but I do not have spare 2 years to read them all.
I have not played this game for nearly a year now, things seemed to work OK before.
My problem is that I can't navigate the menus any more.
I'm using the same joystick/mouse as before.
I thought it was the mouse not working properly, as the highlight is way off from my pointer. Tried a different mouse with same results. But the keys are very erratic as well. Just tapping them often has no effect, and If I keep a key held down the highlight shoots through so fast I can't get it to stop where I want it to.
And I can't get the key bindings up for anything more than helicopter stuff. So infantry bindings are not showing up.
I was playing "SOG" in helicopters before. Not a very good chopper pilot, but that was down to me. But now I can't even get to the key menu to find out what buttons start the chopper up.
I have Windows 11 installed now, I can't remember if I was playing on 10 or 11 before I had this problem (I think it was OK on 11). And I can't make much sense out of the support option.
I use head tracking which is still OK.
Although I have over 200 hours logged on this game, 160 of them are menus/setup time.
I've reinstalled the game and validated it numerous times this week. Tried it with and without MODs, all the same.
As it is this game is unplayable.
Any suggestions for a not very computer savvy dumb ass ??.
Thanks.

Thanks, but not aligned with what ?, that's a new one on me.
And I've tried it with another mouse with the same result.
I was going try running it at a previous compatibility, but there is no option I can find for windows 10. And the resolution is set the same as the TV I'm running it on, 1920 x 1080 , the same as it was when it worked OK.
Thanks for the reply.

I just finished reinstalling the game.
Still not working.

OK, I have it sorted now.
It WAS the resolution set too high. It took a lot of messing about because I could not get to the tab I needed to change that part of the menu.
Thanks anyhow.

You should mark my reply as the answer to your question so if others have the same problem, they can see the solution.
