St. Jimmy 272 Posted September 7, 2014 watch this video, dont forget this problem, demand answers from BI! Huge amount of objects and view distance has that kind of a problem likely in every engine. AI and sync also kills the performance. That video doesn't help much except people who like to see how to optimize their graphics for Arma. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fushko 59 Posted September 7, 2014 New firing sound for tanks. Not mentioned in changelog. Unbelievable, a massive improvement. It actually sounds like a real tank firing. I wonder if they also improved the sound of the Slammer firing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nikiforos 450 Posted September 7, 2014 But to hear the updated sound you need to disable the sound mod if you use any. Not worth it I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That video doesn't help much except people who like to see how to optimize their graphics for Arma. sorry but this is about the CPU problem and you can see that ArmA 3 does not use all of the CPU and the CPU usage is mostly under 50% percent, no matter what settings you have.

xendance 3 Posted September 7, 2014 Huge amount of objects and view distance has that kind of a problem likely in every engine. AI and sync also kills the performance. That video doesn't help much except people who like to see how to optimize their graphics for Arma. Except that FPS in A3 plummets even when the map has zero objects and you turn object view distance to 12 km. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
L3TUC3 32 Posted September 7, 2014 sorry but this is about the CPU problem and you can see that ArmA 3 does not use all of the CPU and the CPU usage is mostly under 50% percent, no matter what settings you have. Try running a local dedicated server and joining it on the same system and see if that makes a difference. It should distribute workloads better taking advantage of multiple cores. It leaves the client with just graphic calculations and the server with all AI stuff and everything else. But yeah, for Arma: clockspeed > n amount of cores. This isn't really anything new.

TSAndrey 1 Posted September 7, 2014 It leaves the client with just graphic calculations and the server with all AI stuff and everything else. I thought that one of the biggest MP performance problems was that the client has to calculate the AI and stuff. Since when does the client only calculate graphics?

L3TUC3 32 Posted September 7, 2014 I thought that one of the biggest MP performance problems was that the client has to calculate the AI and stuff. Since when does the client only calculate graphics? Since always? It does calculate some pathfinding but only of units local to the client. Typically this is only the group directly under the player's control. All other AI calculations are done on the server or other clients if the AI is local there. Hence why a Headless Client local to the server helps with server fps, the AI calculations are offloaded to seperate threads on different cores leaving the server with game related operations.

2nd ranger 282 Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) Pretty sure you're using a sound mod, bro. Sigh, turns out the sound was disabled because I was running East Vs. West mod, I was hearing originals. Apologies. There are massive AI driving problems at the moment. BIS should really get on this because it makes the Hunter convoy in Moral Fiber look absolutely ridiculous and probably causes many other bugs throughout the campaign.

Kydoimos 916 Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) Thank goodness you mentioned that, 2nd Ranger - my whole MANW campaign has gone nuts because of the AI pathfinding - I'm sure we'll get a quick fix soon! :-p I thought it was just me!

themaster303 22 Posted September 8, 2014 watch this video, dont forget this problem, demand answers from BI! put up a new video, yours is a year old !! btw, you shouldn´t do 10000m viewdistance with your system, if you play on altis that will never work. so best you do a new video on altis so there is an uptodate testvideo.

Im not the creator of this video. yes the video is 1 year old, yet the problem still exist. its a game bug. no matter what settings you have, the CPU utilization will be low.

froggyluv 2135 Posted September 8, 2014 Probably important to distinguish AI Infantry or driving pathfinding as they are two completely separate animals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kydoimos 916 Posted September 8, 2014 Ah, if the AI pathfinding is being worked on, that'd make some sense - but yes, certainly making vehicles act strange - perhaps their pathfinding is being worked on as well? ---------- Post added at 07:10 ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 ---------- A dev post on the Feedback tracker confirms the AI vehicle pathfinding issue - they're on it! :cool: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
