griffz 1 Posted May 17, 2012 the added value of a physx implementation , complex enough, to not run well on cpu is useless. I prefer a good gravity , momentum base and wieght simulation , driving feeling, and some falling wall part than a bullshitorz 10000 particle's smoke cloud no one care, and wich would destroy my framerate and add nothing to the gameplay richness.

I am sure it's main implementation in A3 is for simulation and not some extra graphical fluff, then it would be welcomed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smurf 12 Posted May 17, 2012 @Bodies: Will be possible to drag'em (alive or dead, to end with the "Hide Body" BS) ala Hitman? Ever seen a game with PhysX doing that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dragonshot 1 Posted May 18, 2012 You think that brushing by the body of a 200 lbs man can cause him to slide around on a floor made of wooden slats? No...not really, in fact now that you mention it I think it looks a little ridiculous. Yeah, I don't think we should be able to push dead bodies by just "running" at them. I would think that the guy would trip over too or just step onto the dead body.Specially if the dead body is a soldier with all the gear on. OK OK you guys are right, why the hell did I not think about this before??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr.g-c 6 Posted May 27, 2012 I see no reason not to, since it is available since June 2011... Yes hopefully, so the initial argument that was spread here (PhysX is not Multicore comaptible and don't even use SSE, but 1980s x87 instruction sets) should be false.

PuFu 4591 Posted May 27, 2012 reading up some physix SDK information at the beginning of this year, IRC 3.0 and upwards are multithreaded optimized. I don't recal if that was for the basic instructions and functions, or for cloth simulations and so on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NTULINUX 1 Posted May 28, 2012 As has been said many times previously, ATI cards owners will be able to take advantage of PhysX, just not GPU based... I wouldn't go that far, some games use what's called "GPU detection" and blacklist ANY sort of PhysX technology for RadeonHD owners, software and hardware. GRAW 2 did that, among many other titles that I can't remember off the top of my head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GRAW 2 did that, among many other titles that I can't remember off the top of my head. It's already been confirmed by a dev that PhysX in A3 will run on the CPU so that owners of ATI graphics cards can still play the game. There are a LOT of ATI owners in the Arma community, and BIS would be shooting themselves in the foot if they suddenly changed their mind and decided to exclude them from being able to play.

max power 21 Posted May 28, 2012 exclude them from being able to play. No one mentioned anything like that. GRAW disabled physX gpu stuff for people with AMD display adaptors as their primary adaptor... this means the cloth simulation and other bling. It doesn't disallow you from playing the game.

Well it wouldn't disallow you from playing GRAW, but doesn't A3 use PhysX for vehicle physics, which is one of the core components of the game, whereas in GRAW it's just used for eye candy (correct me if I'm wrong- I'm not very familiar with GRAW)? If they added something to "blacklist ANY sort of PhysX technology for RadeonHD owners, software and hardware", wouldn't it break the game? I suppose it could fall back to Arma 2 style vehicle physics, but wouldn't that fundamentally change the way the game is played and make it incompatible with multi-player games?

max power 21 Posted May 28, 2012 I'm not sure what the alarm is. What if BI made it so you need a physx accellerator to run ArmA, and then made it so ATI users couldn't use the game? What if the moon crashed into the earth? Sounds pretty bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What if the moon crashed into the earth? Sounds pretty bad. I think there may have been a misunderstanding. NTULINUX suggested the possibility that PhysX in A3, like in some other games, could be completely disabled for ATI owners ("blacklist ANY sort of PhysX technology for RadeonHD owners, software and hardware"), and my point was that doing so would probably break the game (reason explained in previous post) for ATI owners , meaning that BIS is very unlikely to go ahead with something like that as it would lose them a huge number of customers. Plus Pettka already confirmed PhysX will work for ATI owners (on the CPU). So in other words, nothing to worry about. :) Edited May 28, 2012 by Dingo8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Physx/moving in vehicles has been covered extensively. I have to agree, I can make a mission like that myself already. You just have the interior shake while inside then when you dive out the Hercules switches to the flight version and flies off convincingly into the distance. You can look up how in the scripting section in the editing forum, plenty of examples. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
