Arma Series Major Netcode Issues...

[LeutWinterz 10]

Is it just me or is anyone else concerned with the lack of conversations revolving around the Arma series and its poor netcoding?

Im not trolling as i love all Arma games and am a die hard OFP vet.

What annoys me is the lack of threads created to raise this very serious issue regarding the poor netcodes within online play.

After all this is a Bohemia forum and if there is anywhere to discuss issues or raise awareness for it to be worked on is here!

And for anyone looking to insult my intelligence please revert to any youtube multiplayer clip. It is not the individual players we control within game that suffer from hitching or lagging, but the physics and interactions with every other player or vehicles within game.

This is an ISSUE, FACT and am dreading it wont be resolved for Arma 3!

Plenty of net code improvements in the latest betas, including state interpolation for smoother movement in MP. Check out the beta section.

These improvements are coming soon in the 1.60 patch.

Ah superb. I assume these beta patches are allowable on the majority of public servers?

Thank you. However, will these beta patches allow me on the majority of public servers?

[LeutWinterz 10]

Sorry for being lazy and not reading it, but could anyone shed some light whether or not this is a compatible version with the majority public servers and does it actually issue or create more bugs in another area....

You can download and run the latest beta to try it out. Installing a beta does not harm your original install data, since it is installed and used like a mod. :)

And yes, the betas are compatible with non-beta 1.59 servers.

Ah ok. Fantastic thanks!

What have you gained from your experience of these betas...? Surely if its a real fix or has potential to be, it`ll become an open official patch?

[sickboy 13]

Official patch is scheduled for soon, once the issues have been worked out.

WTF? lol, i just downloaded and installed build 84749 and its superb... i was in shock after playing the Arma series online for years!! There are still issues (which im sure have been bought to light) but the fluidity of it makes me pumped for what this game should have been straight off the bat! Who ever has worked on these builds seriously good work.

I have noticed with NV on, the rounds from heli or explosions or over exposed with lighting and some projectiles look like a massive glow of strobe lighting? Not sure if sound is an issue aswell but ive experienced wierding cracking noises. I`ve tested this beta with JSRS sound mod. But overall, im stunned with online play and how smooth it is!

Haha. You weren't expecting that now were you?

I'm on the same boat. Played for years but with that little voice inside that wept with every warp.

Now all I can think about is playing! It's like a whole new game to me again.

I'm thinking hmmm, I'll do some domination, now some warfare, oh I wonder if there's any invasion 44 servers around!? project reality! Some coops! MORE MORE MOREEE!

I can still have a smooth gameplay even with a 140ms ping to a populated (60-80) overseas server. Very shitty netcode.

Nevermind !
