64-bit Executables Feedback

[road runner 4344]

I can also confirm the UNOFFICIAL ACE3 64 bit dll's seem to be working fine.

Thanks man, that solved my issue!

So what ram usage do you guys get? I pretty much fail to get the game to use more than 3,5gb (16gb sys memory total), maybe a bit more after playing for some hours. I have confirmed that the arma3_x64.exe is running. I have not changed anything in the parameters section except for enabling the x64 exe.

My highest was 7,7gig after like 5 minutes in the editor.

I think we got one prob with the 64 bit version

 

When i have the beta, its no more possible to play on normal servers, when i choose 32 bit.  i cant switch everytime and download 5-8 gig files, but i wanna test it and play with my friends!

That's because it looks like you've opened the wrong file, according to the name on the notepad, you've opened a kernel.dll that's why it looks like encoded stuff because it is.

Is it this? http://prntscr.com/dk5s3h

 

or here?

7,7 gb as shown in msi afterburner ingame or an actual readout from windows resource monitor? The working set and private bytes in the resource monitor for arma3_x64.exe are around 3,5gb, sometimes a bit more, but nowhere near 5 or 6, let alone 8 gb of system memory. Is anybody else actually able to fill more than 5gb in the first mission on a fresh game start?

RE TrackIR

 

Heard back from them,

 

I'll reach out to Bohemia to see what we can do. We provide everything needed to make it work with 64-bit, it must be they are working on and haven't gotten to yet.

I guess its one 64 bit step at a time

yeah i just hit 6.1Gb memory committed and 4.3Gb private in the editor just then. VD was at 10Km and Object Distance was at 7.5Km.  Nothing complex a 10x tanks 5x apcs + their squads and a couple of apaches for good measure run really good.

VD both 12k m

First I went on Tanoa afterwards on Altis. After all the textures are cached I hit just about 9gig (commit) and 5,4gig (working set)

 

For me it runs incredible fluent once all textures are loaded, I can fly over Altis with x3 speed in Eden without any hickups. Just amazing.

[Brisse 78]

64-bit finally allows me to drive through or fly over big towns and cities. Previously the game would stutter to the point where I lost control of my vehicles and crash into objects, even with low default settings for view distance. Crazy eh? Never thought I would be able to do basic stuff like that, and after all these years, a fix finally comes along.

 

We currently employ no mages

 

I strongly disagree. :)

[HeroesandvillainsOS 1504]

So from what I'm reading, you can't play 64-bit with a controller? I'd hate to DL the beta and immediately have to revert back.

So I installed the dev build. Cannot even get Arma 3 dev build to even start with Battleye enabled but there are Battleye servers. So I decided to check my task manager and noticed the Battleye launcher is STILL only 32 bit.

 

Anybody else have issue getting the game to even start with Battleye enabled?

https://feedback.bistudio.com/T122147

yes I have a battleye issue. I am not sure this is the same as yours. The latest small BE update broke my 1.66 stable. Arma 3 works with BE disabled. So I updated to the dev branch and the problem did not exist, but I read in this topic somewhere that BE may not be running yet in the 64 environment so that may explain that. So I am forced to test the DEV build, haha nice plan BI but ya just had to ask. thx for the dev test server as well.

Yes you can mate, I deleted the whole folder that said USB_Vibration, where the 64 bit dll was the issue, and have loaded up Xpadder, and configured the controller that way.

Thanks for the workaround. :) Hopefully they fix it officially on their end.

If you are running on your laptop with an nvidia graphics card,

make sure you add the arma3_x64.exe to the Nvidia control panel and check that you have

your Nvidia card selected instead of integrated graphics. My performance was terrible until I

realized that because its a new x64.exe the game is running off of. I needed to add this new

executable and specify to not run on integrated graphics. Hope this helps some of you that may be having issues.

 

Thank you! This was the problem in my end, happened also with AMD card. Now running greatly and I might be even seeing increase in performance!

[madmax1337 11]

When i host a server and trying to connect it says "You were kicked off the game. Steam authentication failed."

 

on both arma3server_x64.exe file and arma3server.exe file, everything was good for the normal server.exe until the update today, it says the same on both exe files now. any help please?

Just being able to play as gunship pilot and flying with 7km viewdistance without hiccup is awesome. Thanks BI - devs.

edit: and a happy xmas to you all. thanks again for the 64bit gift devs

[TekTaktik 0]

I have played the _x64 build, and found it to be most arousing.
 Thanks for the early christmas.

 

When I first loaded it I had trouble with battle-eye and it wouldn't load, but after a simple file validation it has worked like a dream. Have not noticed *any* issues yet (with the vanilla game that is, Looking forward to ACE3 update)

Smooth as silk.

 

[slowrider8 41]

Playing around in the editor today without mods, Windows warned me that I was running out of memory. The game was only using around 3gb and I have 6gb of page file and 16gb of physical memory. I also have a 970 with 4gb (or I guess 3.5gb) of VRAM. A few minutes later after trying to play a mission as a character the game instantly closed without warning, though the process remained in task manager reportedly still using memory but not CPU. Also, I am using tbb4malloc_bi_x64

Noticed 2 things already:

 

Very aggressive cleanup routine? When I load Blastcore Edited or BSAE edition and run the YAAB mission, I can see the smoke just disappear when the camera turns around. With 32 bit, the columns still keeps rising and stays there persistently throughout the mission until it EOL.

I've noticed that particle lifetimes are not being correctly interpreted by the 64bit engine. For instance if I have a fog script with particles with 30 second lifetimes, they pop in an out in under 0.5 sec (looks atrocious).
