    • What @Gunter Severloh said, plus could you maybe post a video of the issue?
    • I am going to apologize in advance if this question has already been asked, but I did not directly see any answers to it through a brief search (I may not have been using the correct keywords).

      Would anyone have any recommendations for a decent low-cost VPS host to use for ARMA 3 - Exile server with Windows Server 2019?  I have checked multiple hosts, and the average cost I am seeing is between $30 - $50/mo for 4 cores at 3.8GHz+ and 8+ GB of RAM (I hardly find any VPS packages for less than 8GB of RAM).  I am specifically just looking for a low-cost VPS to set the server up on, test that everything is working, then upgrade the memory to handle more players once it is ready.  I would host it at home, but not sure if my bandwidth would be high enough to support 50+ players (150Mbit/sec down and up, 32GB DDR4 RAM, 8-core Ryzen 7 3.7GHz with liquid cooling, Windows 10 Home).   I did try checking out Amazon EC2 packages someone referred me to... but the cost per month, even with a savings plan, was ridiculously expensive at roughly $240+/mo for a 24/7 server.   Only reason I am looking at a VPS vs just a hosting package specifically for Arma 3, is the costs seem to be about the same, and by hosting it myself on a VPS (or on my PC via a virtual instance), I don't have to pay by the slot, but rather based on hardware.  I am also willing to try setting it up on a Linux OS, I just have minimal to no experience with Linux vs Windows.   Thanks again for any input, it is greatly appreciated!
    • @Groove_C : my source is TechPowerUp Intel Core i7-10700K Review - Unlocked and Loaded I emphasize the point because even if Intel managed to use a technology that is now outdated for the last time, with certain efficiency, it comes at a cost.
      It should be remembered that the TDP of 125 W displayed on the official description is in no way representative of actual consumption. As far as I am concerned, I will wait for the next generation of Intel processor featuring a new architecture and a new 7/ 10nm technology before considering upgrading my game configuration.   Here and now, opting for a Ryzen 3700X or 3800X is a wise choice that allows you to build a balanced, versatile and high-level configuration.
    • Oh nice! From one of the Masters themselves 😉 Will do brother! ===============   Update added Rydygier's Tutorial: [Tutorial, Polish] SQF scripting for absolute beginners in Polish to the list!   Thanks for the release!
    • Yep I see how that works and Ive tried in and works fine, I actually watched pierremgi video on the same subject and all good. However, I would like it to count the players on the server. E.G. There are 4 Blufor players, individual players and not linked to a group that need to get the heli before it takes off. So the code would match the amount of Blufor players on the server to the amount in the heli and when the numbers match it takes off.
