My biggest problem w/ multiplayer..

[acoustic 82]

My biggest problem w/ any mulitplayer server, AI or not, would have to be the warping for players. Regardless of latency/server hardware, this always happens. I know this issue has come up many times but is BI working on fixing it?

It IS the biggest problem re MP and is currently being worked on by Suma and team.

this issue is still in our focus and hopefully we will solve it sooner than later :)

That is great news Dwarden as this is the biggest gripe for me to as being a sniper (My main roll) is made impossible some times due to this.

Well at least they are working on it right?

When they fix it though, won't the game require a LOT more bandwidth (frequent updates of positions of objects)?

[acoustic 82]

Great to hear. I would DEFIANTLY play this game more if it was fixed. Thank goodness we have such a good team at BI that actually focuses on fixes and doesn't just leave a game.

Yes, they are.

From what I recall, it is a netcode optimization problem.

Maybe they have found another cause along the way.

Is this not just lag related?

The first time I played in multiplayer, the other players were teleporting all over the place and I couldn't shoot anything. But then I found a server that I get a 20 ping to, and it's as smooth as single player.

[Lonestar 11]

Not at all.

It is experienced even on servers where all players have a good ping.

Not related to desync either AFAIK.

[stk2008 14]

100% not lag as it all so happens over LAN with a pin of like 3-7 max.

..Ahh..

You're looking at server FPS being a crucial factor too.

Yeah that'd be a gamebreaker IMO.

AI Desync is not as big of an issue as Dedicated Server Optimization IMO. The AI is bound to one core and it just destroys server fps. PvP matches run fine though as there are no AI.

My biggest issue isnt warping..its the people playing it arent completing the actual missions before moving to the next AO...towns are constantly being retaken and no one ever seems to go back and re-capture them..seems as if its being played like COD or MOH..run and gun with no thought and certainly not any tactics or team play...ok rant over..and yes warping is an issue but am hopeful BI will get this fixed.

I wonder if the fact that BI are working on it means the issue might be solved in one of future patches or perhaps next expansion or something? OR, it is ARMA 3 we're talking about. I'd gladly pay for another game just to see this fixed. Currently stuck with playing OFP because the ARMA 2 netcode is pretty poor even over LAN. Also, it's not only AI units that warp, human players are laggy too.

Can I get an update on this please? I would really love to get back to playing Arma II. Again, BI, thanks for your assistance and help.
