Arma 3 STABLE Server 2.18 "profiling / performance binary" feedback

[HeroesandvillainsOS 1504]

note, v22 will be ready tomorrow

Will that be rolled into the update or will I still need to download the binaries here? If not, which version number will the Eden update include?

[Dwarden 1125]

it will revert (remove) the BE related logging (issue needed for was fixed earlier) as there were some issues with it especially when combined with the anti-spam (caused new stalls/crashes)

[Dwarden 1125]

Will that be rolled into the update or will I still need to download the binaries here? If not, which version number will the Eden update include?

if you mean 1.56 then most of it is in it already, v22 too afaik,

anyway there will be PERF/PROF soon for 1.56 too cause the ongoing battle for stability and better MP performance continues

plus I said several times that some things don't make it into 1.56 and thus PERF/PROF will bridge the gap before 1.58 hits

Crash on v20

http://www.filedropper.com/profiles_20

 

Updated to v21 now..

[ramius86 13]

Hey, I'm using performance branch on Steam and I noticed 1.56 download didn't start, there's a way to "reset" status with regular one even without performance branch? So I've not to tell to everyone to keep switch between branches? Got some people that are not so "skilled" with PC and this is an issue  :P

[Dwarden 1125]

1.56.perf is wip for now

[ramius86 13]

Yes I know, I mean reset to vanilla one so people that got this branch enable will start download 1.8 gb, I had lot of people that didn't even remember that they changed branch and I had to told everyone to switch back ( for the moment ) 

[DaViSFiT 21]

v21 if this help, out of memory: https://mega.nz/#!ABEDXCLa!tAH0xH_SfKvU4CYLsWU1caXMjDla8dRqA5MUl8YWVrs

 

This was with low player number (9ppl only) + HC. Server on 48fps rock stable.

[Dwarden 1125]

1.56.134636 profiling & performance v0 server and client, windows/linux

+ the usual sync with stable

+ additional crash fixes , yet the hunt continue (-crashDiag still has use)

+Fixed: Possible crash in Voice-Over-Net technology (http://feedback.arma...ew.php?id=27974)

Error solved. Needed to update linux server via steam

[dvdbrewster 12]

  Nice  update 1.56.  Which of the Perfs will I need if I have not been having Big Problems,  I have been running v16,  And Really think v8 was ok. :blink:

[breech99 47]

Nice update. Have noticed improved client side performance increase, slightly on the server side. (Finally 3D editing, only 12 years behind but nice).

[mike187 13]

v.1.56 linux server now says: can't open display right after host created.... anything we need to add or remove from the cfg files? or does it matter at all?

 

10:02:40 Dedicated host created.

Can't open display 

10:02:40 PhysX3 SDK Init started ...

10:02:40 PhysX3 SDK Init ended.

 

happens with default 1.56 and also performance v0

 

thx.

When a major Update comes out the last perf build is mostly included and it is recommended to use one of the builds that are signed with the right version number. Means for now 1.56 (at least on Windows... I feel with you Linux-guys)

[spanishsurfer 58]

Dwarden, the memory leak is terrible. Arma goes from using 1.5GB at game start to 2.8 after 1 hour. FPS are suffering because of it, can you ask your team to make this a priority?

[markussr1984 10]

Hi Dwarden,

 

is known any time when the callExtension Bug gets fixed ?

since 1.56 it feels that this happens a lot more than with 1.54.

 

Our players are crying because the get killed when they are in Helicopters when the Simulation Thread freezes. (Helicopters drops down like a stone)

[ramius86 13]

Got a strange "bug" with last perf and 1.56

If I got -nologs option enabled all works fine, if I don't enable it I got this message when I try login into the server ( not even launch mission, I can't login, black screen ) https://gyazo.com/5718059c527c6c21684811da7e9b7e70and server crash once click ok ( http://we.tl/fF4LTDigPB rpt and BIDMP here ). I tried check integrity cache and all is fine. Why this difference with only a log option?

Hello dwarden , 

 

is that you can make the physx turn on GPU(nvidia) instead CPU ?

[TheMasterofBlubb 10]

Hello dwarden , [/size]

 

is that you can make the physx turn on GPU(nvidia) instead CPU ?[/size]

Actually PhysX does it itself. But you need a Graphics card that has a PhysX chip buit in.

[Dwarden 1125]

as far I'm aware we use CPU physics only (because it must work for everyone (including those who have AMD and INTEL GPUs)

so I highly doubt that anything is offloaded to GPU

[TheMasterofBlubb 10]

PhysX is a technology owned by Nvidia that can utilize physics on a seperate chip(not GPU) to decrease workload on the CPU. To run PhysX on this seperate chip you need a Graphics card witha build in PhysX chip (see specification of the card) or a PhysX expansion card (really rare). The Nvidia PhysX driver automatically switch from CPU to PhysX chip(if not overwritten).

To long to read? If you dont have a seperate PhysX chip then everything is on the CPU.

[Dwarden 1125]

again, failed to read, that's about effects which utilize GPU ... period
