Arma 3 STABLE Server 2.16 "profiling / performance binary" feedback

[gagi2 50]

Patience, young padawan. All good things come to those who wait!

and the bugged BI updates which fuck up everything come to everyone...

[kremator 1064]

Play on.......wait for it..... STABLE! if you are unwilling to test

[Dwarden 1124]

yay perf3 @ 23:23 ;)

+ multihome vs steam compliant -ip=

+ some crashes fixed

+ new commandline for hyperthreading: -enableHT

[DaViSFiT 21]

Thx. Whats this multihome vs. steam means?

So now i can use on an i7 with HT:

-enableHT -cpuCount=8 -maxMem=3071 ?

1.

multihome means if server has multiple NIC with multiple IP or multiple IP on single nic etc.

-ip= commandline was used to allow server admin chose the IP they need but there was bug vs steamports ...

shall be now fixed

2.

yes, correctly if you enableHT you can use cpuCount=8 (if it's quadcore i7 ;) if it's hexa then 12) and yes the maxmem=3071 works with this build too

Von is P2P lower your VON quality from server configs

Is this useless for any CPU that does have hyper-threading? I onyl have VT :(

[Tankbuster 1733]

I have only half a Xeon box available to me. The other half is running some cranky old game called A2OA. Yeah, I know. :)

Anyway, so I've only got 4 of the 8 cores (counting logical cores as well). My question is am I better off running the server on 2 cores and a HC on the other 2, or allowing the server free run of 4 of the cores without a HC?

For me i cant get my hc running since 2 weeks now and i dont know why so i cant test this but from my experience 2/2 should be better. We will have a warfare event tomorrow with ~40 ppl and i will report here how good the load get balanced. I think about 200-300 ai will be on the normal server most of the time, wish me the best ;)

** Update **

Here are my first stats with ~32 player. performance is horrible :(

Windows Server 2008R2, 32GB Ram, 12GB Ram Disk for Publicserver, perf 3, -malloc=tbbmalloc -enableHT -exThreads=7 -cpuCount=6 -maxMem=3071, BattleEye, Verify Signatures v2, Require Secure ID 2.

Does SecureID 2 draw that power? look at the CPS -->

*10 min later*

server crashed....

Not surprised it crashed... that is rubbish. The numbers of AI aren't even that high.

[DaViSFiT 21]

any ideas? i enabled loggin now, normally for normal public play i disabled it (for minimum performance plus). when i'm alone with 140 ai the server have 50fps, 45cps... The server really goes down with every player connected.

*edit*

server keeps crashing. here the log (only a part of) http://pastebin.com/wf0bvV1G

Hi , please use http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?177446-FT18328-Floating-Non-Local-Vehicles-Discussion-Thread for discussion about this, as it isn't unique to the perf server. (also you'll see the answer you're looking for near the end of the thread)

Experiencing the same here. Poor performance, that decreases with every player connected and random crashes. Back to Perf2 for me.

[da-ben 10]

Perf3: CpuCount=10 on Xeon hexcora with -enableHT (85 players on AltisLife with all CallExtensions on a HC)

In CPU utilization no differents at all, one core at 100% all other round about 40-50%. But i experienced a slighty higher Server-FPS (1-2 FPS).

Gamebreaking bugs introduced with 1.18 no differents at all, still very hard desyncing problem when approaching non moving object incl. players from a distance.

[zzpyR00 10]

looks good thanks

-malloc=tbbmalloc -cpuCount=12 -enableHT -exThreads=7 -maxMem=3071

(1.18 performance perf3 hotfix executable + tbbmalloc 4.2.0.0)

Im still getting crashes, now with Perf2. Damn... here is my rpt: arma3server_118_perf2_2014-05-18_12-47-55.rpt 3.0 MB

https://mega.co.nz/#!tZkylTyC!XkfXGxGP5bQkgKNgIup-KSX_RzPxo1qTtaOqbeTq3A8

It worked the hole time, now server keeps crashing... I now delete -enableHT -cpuCount=X, lets see if server is more stable without it. I still try to use -maxMeM=3071

[DaViSFiT 21]

event 4h tonight. perhaps wanna take a look - > https://mega.co.nz/#!gZ1Slbba!X_8EfvWeNYp59-k7hsSoOHirFHBMUAb-tr8sMJCwu1Q

still perf2 cause of the problems we had with perf3

[da-ben 10]

We have encountered some crashes that seems to happen when the memory usage hit 3071mb. I have upload the crashlogs: http://www.file-upload.net/download-8947491/server_crash_logs.7z.html

[kremator 1064]

I'm finding that the perf3 binary also runs out of memory after a while.

[Dwarden 1124]

perf4v2 available ... no more perf issue on server if someone stuck in ruins

[spanishsurfer 58]

I've noticed you like to release the PERF updates on weekends. :)

[DaViSFiT 21]

ThX Dwarden. Will post the result after our event tonight.
