The time has come to uncover the third game giveaway during our Summer Sale. You have 48h to grab a highly engaging classic military simulation from Bohemia Interactive – ARMA: Cold War Assault!

Originally published by Codemasters as Operation Flashpoint in 2001, the game celebrates the 20th Anniversary of its release today. ARMA: Cold War Assault easily captivates modern gamers with its rich, enthralling campaign and diversified gameplay that enables them to finish every mission in the manner of their choosing.

ARMA: Cold War Assault giveaway runs until June 24th, 2021, at 6 PM UTC.
Is the giveaway still there or has it gone away. There is still 20 minutes left until 18:00 UTC.

Gamers are complaining on steam the giveaway was removed there after a day.

It doesn't like high sensitivity mice and has strange mouse acceleration or something similar. IIRC the tip was to put your mouse on the lowest setting and adjust the ingame sensitivity. I didn't remember it like this in the past so it might be an OS issue causing it.
The Arma giveaway has disappeared agin and it's not 6pm utc yet

You would be better off trying to message one of gogstaff directly through chat.

Exactly - go to Facebook and message GoG via the messenger. It's what I did 2 hrs ago.

Tried that already thanks. I reduced my mouse sensitivity in windows to its lowest setting. That's so slow that I have to drag my mouse across my entire mouse mat, corner to corner, about ten times for the pointer to move across the width of the screen. When I launched the game, the mouse speed was back to being too high, despite using the lowest possible mouse sensitivity using the in-game setting.

Before anyone says it. I already posted in the Arma specific forum but got no response.

Anyone else having the same problem? There must be a patch or a workaround. Otherwise it's unplayable and I'm requesting my money back! (Joke, it was free.)

EDIT: Solved.

lubwak: Unrelated: I love your signature, .Keys. I am a sucker for good quotes. Is there any specific source it is from?

.Keys: Nah, not saying ARMA 2 and 3 not coming* to GOG yet is something directly related to a deal Bohemia made with Steam/Valve.

Just getting this off my chest really, as Bohemia (and other *publishers) prefer to just stick with Steam "PC gaming monopoly".
I actually asked about your profile text signature...
It's not just.. Operation Flashpoint.



It's Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis!

Oh, my bad then. I guess I was distracted, sorry for that.

And for the source: It's from nobody that I know. Maybe it has been said by someone before somewhere, but I've written it myself.

I like to look to the sky, and to the starts, but some nights I noticed that, because of city lights, we can't see the starts - so the night is "darker than normal". In one of these darker nights I noticed that there was one little star shining, and that gave me joy.

...Even in the darkest nights theres at least one star, "one light", shining.

So I thought that even in these darkest times, God is there placing at least one light shinning to remember us that there are good things we can be gratefull of.

Hey, thanks for sharing your story. It is a nice one, and a nice metaphor too. I think it can be used in so many ways - we should remember there is aways the guiding light you referred to, or that we or somebody else can (or should) be for a us a beacon of light to follow during the dark times.
Stay safe and God bless you :)

Thank you, and the same for yours, of course!
Thank you Gog and Bohemia, and please can you release some of your Centauri Production games especially the Memento Mori games and Gooka. Cheers.
Once you get over the primitive graphics (easy, since it's quite immersive.), and control issues and such, It's a very good old game. Thank you, IP holder.
