So I recently haven't been able to join any Altis life servers in Arma 3, and down in the box where it describes the server it tells me I need a verson 1.28/1.3.
Is that something I have to download or what? I'm a little clueless here lol

UPDATE: So after checking the integrity of the game files, it turned out that the game did have to be updated. But, when I go to update the game nothing happens and it just sits there. It says "UPDATING" but it literally does nothing. Any ideas? Should I just reinstall the game?

Scratch that guys, as it turns out I'm just a loving idiot. There was a wire blocking my CPU cooling fan to spin.

This is the only thing that has the ! on it.

what mp7964 means by this is that he's asking if you made sure all the static electricity was out of you before you started to fuddle with those parts inside. if you didn't touch some metal or wear an anti-shock bracelet or whatever it's called, you could have unknowingly fried something. happened to me once when i was like 12, now i never open a computer without grounding myself.
this is possible, although I didn't necessarily touch the component itself rather the plastic casing that's holding it (the RAM).

It's possible it's using your integrated graphics on your intel CPU... Able to run some games but modern games lag severely, sounds exactly like it to me.
Yeah this is sounding right. How would I check if the graphics card is functioning properly? because like I said above, the graphics card doesn't have a ! on it in the device manager.

It's possible that the computer is no longer using your graphics card if even youtube videos are lagging.
Even though I'm still able to run games?

Was your PC unplugged when you were loving with the RAM? Were you electrically grounded?
Yeah I unplugged everything, turned off the power supply n everything. All I did was take one out and put it back in, didn't touch any part I shouldnt've.

So up until today my computer has been running flawlessly.
Today my friend was asking me about building a computer (because that's what I did), so I decided to open mine up and kinda show him what everything was n crap. Now, all I took out was one stick of RAM, and didn't do anything else. Put it back in correctly n all that, and when I started it back up all of a sudden *all* of my games started lagging decently. So I restarted it to see if just something didn't go right starting it up the first time, still did it. So then I took it back out and re-inserted all of my RAM and dusted everything off with my canned air whateverit'scalled, and it's still doing it, although now my older/less demanding games work fine but now the more demanding games (like Star Wars: The Old Republic) are still laggin, but they never lagged at all before. YouTube videos will also be very very choppy. So I don't have any idea what's going on, hopefully you guys can help :(

Here's my specs:

Intel Core i5-4570 3.20GHz
16GB RAM
NVidia Geforce GTX 760

Not sure what else to put there, but if you need anything else I'll grab it for ya

Thanks in advance!

If I were you, I wouldn't interfere with the dad. It's not worth getting yourself into someone else's mess when you could always get another girlfriend.
Hahahaha no. Sorry but we've been together almost a year now and she'd already had someone break up with her because of him, and I'm not gonna do the same

Want to give the gift that keeps on giving?
hidden camera

I know a bunch of sites that sell cheap, hidden cameras in pens, mugs, book binders, etc if you need one

Literally the smallest thing will get child protective services to rain down on your ass.
2 years ago my mom slapped my little brother in this parking lot, let a HUGE hand print on his face, next day he went to school, teacher reported it to child protective services, she got a warning. Then she flipped her stuff a second time last year, 2/3 strikes. If she looses her stuff again, CPS steps in.

Give your girlfriend a hidden camera, tell her to leave it on at all times and file any important information that helps incriminate 'daddy'
starfishs like him don't deserve to be parents.
This is a good idea. Also reminds me of what I forgot go mention, has a security camera in the house. (Only one, facing directly at the door. Probably wouldn't do much but it's there) , I might look into this. I assume this camera would include software to view the live feed from my computer? Ya know without plugging it in or somethin?

Call the police, it is abuse especially if she has scars to prove it.
I can't see this being the reason. When diabetics have low blood sugar they become hypoglycemic. This presents symptoms of sluggish behavior, an altered mental status, and the appearance they are about to pass out. While the altered mental status could cause violent behavior, its extremely unlikely. It is even more unlikely her father would have the strength to "throw her aside" being hypoglycemic.
Interesting...

um, not trying to sound like a richard, but brushing your teeth isn't the hardest thing to do.

then again considering her condition
believe me, she does that. It only does so much though without at least a semi-regular cleaning.

I'm pretty sure most of this is abuse
She could just go to the police and live with her other family
this, but the thing is too it's not like, every single day she's being pounced on. But it's too often to my liking. It's mostly the yelling and screaming at that happens regularly. That and she's moving out when she's 18 which is in like, 3 months now so there's no real reason to at this point.

Explanation time! Incoming wall of text in 3, 2, 1...

OK so, for starters, my girlfriend (I'll call her Jill here) lives with her dad. Her mom died in a tragic car accident, while Jill was in the car. She was 7. Now, Jill could have lived with either her Mom's family, whom she knew the most, or with her dad, who she barely knew (that's a whole 'nother story). The judge, who was not fond of women, picked her dad, who, from what Jill told me, wanted her so he could get the money from the whole deal. All that's a different story that I don't know much but yeah context.

Now, here's where the fun part comes. One thing, he's a diabetic. BUT, when he has a diabetic attack and Jill is trying to get sugar into him and help him, he just throws her aside (quite literally). Whether this is a part of what could happen during an attack I don't know, maybe some of you do. Even then, when he's not low or anything, he's just a plain flat out richard to her. He just verbally abuses her, calls her a slut and a whore when she dresses "attractively". (Which in reality isn't even close to "slutty" clothing). Whenever she'll grab a poptart or have a bowl of cereal, he'll always yell at her that she's eating all the food and leaving none for him. He'll make dinner for himself and leave none for her.

Logic does not exist with him. If he knows something, well it must be OBVIOUS and EVERYONE should know it. Otherwise you're a stupid dumbass. I was taking her home from a Christmas party we were having, and I was driving slower and more cautiously because it was really foggy out and I couldn't see amazingly well. When he called her asking "WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU, WHY AREN'T YOU HOME?", and she said "Well it's really foggy so he's driving a little slower n stuff, I'll be home in a couple of minutes." Makes sense, right? Nope. "BULLstuff. GET YOUR ASS HOME RIGHT NOW." And as soon as they hung up, she started bawling her eyes out. I literally wanted to go in that house and just punch him in the face. But I didn't because "He's a good kid."

Here's my no. 1 favourite example: He hasn't taken her to the dentist in years. Not for financial reasons, he just didn't take her. He finally did a couple months ago. They found 6 cavities and a possible root cbrown town needed. You would think "Oh man, he must feel terrible and is going to get that taken care of as fast as possible!" NOPE. He's making her pay for it. Every bit of it. 

But wait, there's more! She always tells me on multiple occasions of how he's slapped her dead across the face, picked her up and slammed her onto the couch, and, on one occasion that I know of, threw her into a wall. (That one's based on something I read on her blog. Whether it's true or not is tbk, but I honestly don't doubt it.) Just the other day I was at her house to pick her up for a Christmas party we were going to, and we just saw him grab their dog by the neck and fling her outside. (she's maybe 9 years old, frail, and has serious medical problems).

Here's the kicker though. Whenever I'm over at her house, he's always all "doo do dooo I'm a great person I'm nice and kind and I don't slap your girlfriend right across her face." I call bullstuff. Don't act like your daughter doesn't tell her boyfriend when you call her a loving slut and physically harm her.

Now when you start thinking "Oh this is all made up/she's probably lying to you for sympathy", it's not and she's not. She's got scars to prove it, and I've seen how he treats the dog. There are times where I want to just walk in there and speak my mind. If I wanted to I could shut him down so hard Australia could feel it. But I'm not. Not yet. Not until she's moved out and we've got a place together.

Tl;dr: My girlfriends dad is a richard. He hits her and calls her terrible names and I hate it.

Anyway, thanks for reading. I really needed to vent that out. There's seriously so much more but I don't want to type all of it out.
