vredesbyrd 10 Posted September 29, 2013 You know what would be nice? - If BIS acknowledged this issue and made light of the fact that they are doing something about it.....maybe through some kind of feed where they give some small insight in to the issues they are actively working on? Just a suggestion. There are a lot of angry people who (thankfully for the integrity of the forum) haven't yet found their way here to kick off and moan - Although some have. I'll also echo something said earlier: Don't patch on a Friday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
docbrown 1 Posted September 29, 2013 patience... take a look at the feedback tracker. some tickets regarding physx crashes since 1.02 have been assigned and upgraded to high priority. its the weekend, take a deep breath and play outside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
l etranger 5 Posted September 29, 2013 (edited) Just parachute a group of AI many time, and you'll get the crash for sure. Or you can try out attachto an object and make the attached to collide with a physx object. Edited September 29, 2013 by L etranger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bvrettski 10 Posted September 29, 2013 This is incredibly bad...and extremely frustrating. How and issue like this can persist for so long (since Alpha) and not be properly addressed speaks volumes about the state of the game they released. Since the patch I am seeing half the players crash from the server at any given time and its definitely not mission dependent as I experienced it across the board on a half dozen different missions and servers. Congratulations all...and welcome to the real Arma3 beta test program...:( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chlywly 10 Posted September 29, 2013 Has been crashing for me every 10-15 minutes after last update, using GTX TITAN win7 x64 latest Nvidia BETA drivers. ---------- Post added at 03:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:26 AM ---------- Another member of the ZiiP community thinks they may have tracked down the source of the crashes.It is anecdotal, but he has only crashed out due to the Physx bug when he has been in the proximity of an explosion, and from memory, I remember hearing or seeing explosions most times I've crashed out. In other instances, where I have not witnessed explosions, other members of the community in close to medium proximity have done and have immediate crashed out, along with most, if not all, of the players in that particular area of the map. I must point out, this is happening in Wastelands in Multiplayer - The same community member who has pointed to explosions has been on an invasion server for most of today without any crashes despite more explosions than a Michael Bay movie. I also played nearly an hour of SP last night after all the crashes made me give up with MP and did not have a crash. Sharing in hope of being helpful, and I've pointed out that the theory is based on anecdote - Refrain from throat jumping please :) I can confirm this, I feel like I've made myself including many others crash off of multiplayer servers from explosions caused by my Tanks..

vredesbyrd 10 Posted September 29, 2013 patience... take a look at the feedback tracker. some tickets regarding physx crashes since 1.02 have been assigned and upgraded to high priority. its the weekend, take a deep breath and play outside. Well, working a 60/70 hour week as I do, I feel I deserve to make use of the expensive gaming hardware and games I have bought to enjoy in my down time. I feel justified in my annoyance that the game is broken during said down time - Should it have been broken during a week day, my impatience and irritance would be less so because I would have no time to play any way AND BIS studios would be immediately there to see the issues and fix them. Just saying - Some of us have to plan this stuff in and it's frustrating when something like this happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

docbrown 1 Posted September 30, 2013 great to see BI acknowledge the issue, as seen in the dev build change log. 30-09-2013 EXE rev. 110511 Size: ~26 MB We are working on investigating the frequent MP crash related to PhysX. It’s proving hard to find and involves external libraries. We hope to be able to hotfix 1.02 if we do find it soon. Note: Scenarios now show the map briefing even when no briefing.html (outdated method) is present Increased Independent Ghillie suit weight and capacity to resolve issue with Spotter not having a Claymore Firing Drills: map briefings disabled where they should not be Added: Missing radio track Sound: Improved MP 3D sound playback Fixed: Campaign menu did not refresh when getting back from a scenario Sun lens flare occlusion tweaked Protocol messages have different visualization than narrative messages Fixed: Occlusion queries when using PiP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jurrasstoil 10 Posted September 30, 2013 It's really a weird thing to witness. Just played a few minutes of wasteland to kill some time and at one point the server went from 46/46 down to 10/46 in a single moment. Chat went mental with people getting kicked.

Hatchet_Harry 1 Posted September 30, 2013 i am hosting the armajunkies server. The server itself is not crashing. The players being kicked in waves, because they crash and battleeye kicks the player with the reason "no client response". If dazhog says they work with high prio on the problem and when they are able to reproduce the error, we have to be patient. It helps nobody to start a flamewar or shitstorm. Fact is: Pro: - The patch stopped the clientside laggs and gpu mem stutters - My servers are running more fluently since the patch - My game is running more fluently as player and needs less performance Con: - The developers were not able to test every hardware / software configuration and player situation - that is the real life You cant test everything in a developement environment. People who dont change things will never produce problems. People who dont change things will never make the things better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People who dont change things will never produce problems. People who dont change things will never make the things better. May I ask something... When you see these people drop off... is it en mass or is it one at a time? I only ask to suggest that it might be something the server is sending out that is causing the clients to crash. Perhaps x group of players is sent a packet that causes a crash, and y , z groups are not sent this packet.... if that is the case, perhaps there might be a way to root out the issue and point it out to the Devs. if it is individually, perhaps you could still see what the server is sending and see if there is anything in common....
