jcae2798 132 Posted July 11, 2016 What branch is it? I cannot reproduce it. Sorry for not including it. It was on latest dev build from yesterday. I did not get a chance to test on RC. I will try again later after today's release and open a ticket if needed on either latest apex build or dev branch of either still produce this. Thanks!

Guest Posted July 11, 2016 I love Apex but I had high hopes for an overhauled engine, DX12 is still necessary, as it is the 64 bits engine. I can only hope for Arma 4 them. At least if the multiplayer could work as nicely as the single player does... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pierremgi 4738 Posted July 11, 2016 Thought that was only me, post processing abruptly becomes turned off, bushes disappearing, terrain suddenly looks like on lowest settings, fps grinding to a halt and all soldiers sink into the ground in that weird vitruvian man pose, while vest and helmets stay in place. http://imgur.com/a/5tKCk Usually happens with lots of shooting going on, usually with large groups engaging each other within a few seconds, or with gunships firing (minigun). In this scenario this tends to happen most likely(4 out of 8 times), maybe it's terrain/building related? No mods used. Cheers Severe FPS drop! Probably less than 5. Nothing new under the sun.

Greenfist 1863 Posted July 11, 2016 What other proof do you need besides the screen shots of the Radeon Monitoring the GPU usage? I believe that you're not trying to BS anyone, but those screenshot don't prove anything since they all show zero usage. Fan speed or gpu clock doesn't tell anything about it.

Grumpy Old Man 3540 Posted July 11, 2016 You got a very teenage way of choosing your forum name then. All your screenshots tell us is that you either don't know how computers work or that your monitoring tool isn't working properly. Probably the latter.

danktech 17 Posted July 11, 2016 I believe that you're not trying to BS anyone, but those screenshot don't prove anything since they all show zero usage. Fan speed or gpu clock doesn't tell anything about it. The GPU usage in the 1.63.137431 is 522 at Idle (desktop) in-game it's 928. I also I'm getting 95-110 fps online , so yeah that shows usage of the GPU after you start the launcher. My in game FPS are over the top too, but that's what started the problem when I posted the screen shot of it. Everyone started freaking out, cause it shows my FPS double that of the server. So of course all I got then was that's impossible, cause I don't get that, or its of the ground ( which makes no sense ) or join this server ans see what you get. Your lying, it's Photoshop, fake pictures, etc.. If your GPU isn't working your game is only using the videocard memory (Arma3), but If your GPU meter shows usage ( ETS2, ATS, GTA V, HITMAN 47) that means the game is using the Graphic Processor Unit on your videocard. If I'm wrong, then all anyone has to do is post screen shots of their videocard monitoring software showing the GPU, Memory, and Fan Speed. With the Arma3 Launcher running with each version. Not moving, or already showing GPU usage. That's very simple to do, however it's easier for people to just post negative comments without showing their results here or on Steam. One problem people are having with monitoring their card is Nvidia doesn't proved any software. So that is why I can with my ATI Radeon R9 so easy. Thanks for at least believing me, bro. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My GPU for example runs at full speed of 1050MHz even if the actual usage is only at 10%. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jumpinghubert 48 Posted July 11, 2016 @danktech Very interesting investigations. My method to mesure gpu/cpu usage is afterburner/rivatuner/hwinfo64. It gives you an ingame overlay and you can display cpu overall usage and gpu usage. On good servers I have since a couple of months very high gpu-usage on my R9 290 (100%) and my gpu went very hot, comparable to heaven-unigine-bench. But it depends on graphic settings, mp-mode and server hardware. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ineptaphid 6413 Posted July 11, 2016 I see the Apex download has started for people on Stable- 9.4GB. Very glad I am already on dev so I dont have to download that :) No Dev changelog today? Also-I just had a look at the Vehicle in Vehicle wiki page and there is a picture at the bottom of something with about 6 different vehicles inside it-looks like a ship.Anyone know what that is? https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Vehicle_in_Vehicle_Transport Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lexx 1331 Posted July 11, 2016 Yeah. Makes me - once again - wonder what happened to that container ship from the main menu video. I really want that one, even just as a static prop similar to the Trawler. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaptainAzimuth 714 Posted July 11, 2016 Yeah I assumed so too.Still...who knows.. It's what should have been. XD Archipelago with nothing useful for transportation from dock to dock. But hey, even with the lack of Boats that are actually more useful, i have to congratulate Bohemia Interactive for reaching their final goal of Apex, sort of on time. By sort of i mean moving the release date from the end of June, to July 11th, which by numerical means, is actually in the Third Quarter of this year, so...

Were any mods running at the time? FPS improved once the shooting stopped. No mods running, no scripts in the background, simply editor placed units fighting each other. I tried to reproduce it with running a few demanding scripts during the encounter (e.g. "onEachFrame {{nearestTerrainObjects [getPosATL _x, [],50]} foreach allUnits}") but couldn't force it to happen.

kylania 567 Posted July 11, 2016 Yes, but not all in one go-it was spread over a couple of updates :) Indeed, I saved time by downloading dev branch, repeatedly at 6GB+ daily, in order to have a slim 700MB download today. Yay! :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
