Your best performance is with which beta version?

Just thought id share my experiences with these beta patches with the community.

The best performance ive had out of arma 2 was with 59210. Fast texture loading, smooth, good constant fps. No crashes for me. Ive tested all the patches since and non have improved on this for me performance wise.

The latest few betas (latest 6xxxx) have had a bad effect on performance for me despite the imense other improvements. (further terrain detail draw could be the cause?)

I have to say i cant really enjoy the better ai without a reasonably smooth playing experience.

Also i must thank Suma and the way the team who make this game are in contact with the community that play it to find how it can be made even greater.

So just wondering, what patch has brought the smoothest game for you ?

Is it just me or the AI became even more stupid after the beta patches?

Without beta, AI stay in formation properly and when asked into a new formation, they take up new positions instantly. With the latest beta, when asked into a new formation, they wander around aimlessly and sometimes run off into random directions looking totally lost.

Was thinking of starting a performance thread myself...beat me to it.

xx899 is the best for me as yet. I was normally running with about 1500m view distance, and I was surprised to find when playing a mission with 899 that I was being shot at by enemies beyond my draw distance. I was hearing bullets whizz past and hit the ground then hearing the shot, all quiet like, about 2 seconds after. Brilliant. But I had to increase the VD to see who was shooting at me. Whacked it up to 5000m and still got a playable frame rate.

Still jittery in the larger towns, and playing without the FPS helper mod in Chernogorsk and Electrozavodsk is still impossible. Not with my system.

xx899 for performance so far fo me.
