What is the maximum number of AI you can spawn in singleplayer without lag or minimum lags/which is playable ?

Your asking a question where its answer is determined by what YOUR system specs are!! In other words, there is no answer, as its different for each person. It will also depend on what else is going on in the mission, like triggers and scripts etc.

Basically you could spawn Hundreds or even over a thousand or so of AI and it may or may not cause you lag, depending on your system and your settings.

You misunderstood my question but my fault i asked wrong

my questions was meant how many AI you can spawn with your computer. or how many you tried until you got lags.

on my old system it was way under 100 ai with small lags. soon i will get a new system.

Not much compared to ArmA 2. I can only use half of the AI I could use in ArmA 2. More then 100 and it really drops the fps. Unfortunately the cache module does nothing either other then unrender AI, it does not remove/disable the pathing of unrendered AI (it seems).

Well i can spawn about 150 to 200 and get stuttering (Mainly in towns) but micro stutter in some rural places (countryside) where lots of AI are present. Using the Alive mod, with all areas off the map populated with AI, i can get loads of stuttering when first starting the mission, but it settles to about 15-20fps after about 10 minutes, which is just about playable for me.

It seems that when I place too many AI's in a mission, the intelligence of each single AI goes down. They start going in the wrong direction, sometimes completely the opposite direction than their waypoint, and they don't engage enemies, they just run around.

For me the number is around 50 - 70 active AI's at the same time.
