MavericK96 0 Posted June 3, 2010 (edited) Yay! http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php [71117] Optimized: Geometry loading in now optimized for multiple cores. Extra threading now enabled by default on computers with more that 2 CPUs. New possible -exThreads values: 5 (thread geometry loading only) and 7 (thread all) Interesting new threading options. I'm hopeful for some good performance increases! Edited June 3, 2010 by MavericK96 Added changelog Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MavericK96 0 Posted June 3, 2010 Initial tests with _FPS6_Cherno bench: Build 71141 Avg AvgMin Max Min exThreads = 0 35 25 51 9 exThreads = 1 35 25 52 11 exThreads = 3 36 25 52 10 exThreads = 5 35 25 51 12 exThreads = 7 36 25 53 10 Not super conclusive, but exThreads=5 and =7 definitely seemed a bit smoother to me. Less hard (0 FPS) stutter but still a fair bit of pull (low FPS) stutter. Haven't tested stability yet, but I will do more tomorrow when I have time. ---------- Post added at 03:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 AM ---------- I just ran the bmCoastalFlight benchmark, and a couple of times during the flyby the framerate dropped to somewhere between 3-5 FPS for anywhere from 10 to 30 seconds, and then resumed normal framerate. Almost all the way through the second run, the game crashed, saying "ArmA2.exe has caused an error" or whatever the standard Windows APPCRASH message is. RPT is filled with stuff like: Virtual memory total 2047 MB (2147352576 B) Virtual memory free 134 MB (141500416 B) Physical memory free 2962 MB (3105906688 B) Page file free 7435 MB (7796940800 B) Process working set 1191 MB (1249083392 B) Process page file used 1408 MB (1477398528 B) Runtime reserved 487 MB (510656512 B) Runtime committed 304 MB (319045632 B) Longest free VM region: 9179136 B, busy 2022985728 B, free 124432384 B Small mapped regions: 10, size 53248 B Followed by lots of: Memory store: Failed mapping, already mapped 4392 KB, error 8 Virtual free 22859776 B, page free 4294967295 B, physical free 3141357568 B Memory store: Failed mapping, already mapped 4396 KB, error 8 Virtual free 22794240 B, page free 4294967295 B, physical free 3141361664 B Memory store: Failed mapping, already mapped 4392 KB, error 8 Virtual free 22859776 B, page free 4294967295 B, physical free 3141357568 B ...

Basically it seemed like every time the "Out of Memory" error might occur, the game slowed down to 5 FPS and puttered along, finally regaining performance in a bit. The game did this about 5 times total before crashing. In any case, I'd say this is somewhat of an improvement. At least there is no "v-buffer creation error" going on in the RPT, and the crash is different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SASrecon 0 Posted June 3, 2010 (edited) For me Chernarus took much longer to load up into both the editor and into 'gameplay mode', but overall performance was much smoother with -exThreads=7. I also found the patch quite smooth for me even without the -exThreads. -And no, you don't need to add -exthreads=anything afaik.

=wfl= sgt bilko 10 Posted June 3, 2010 Maybe a developer could explain if the other "-exThreads" values are still valid in this patch (other than 5 and 7). And if so what they mean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeyCat 131 Posted June 3, 2010 Do we still need to add in -exThreads= x if it's already enabled by default? I would say it depends on your OS/hardware and probably also in-game settings. For me not using -exThreads=0 gives that terrible stuttering back. This is on Utes, no AI etc, just me running in the grass along the runway. /KC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Richey79 10 Posted June 3, 2010 'Extra threading now enabled by default on computers with more that 2 CPUs. New possible -exThreads values: 5 (thread geometry loading only) and 7 (thread all).' Sounds like these optimisations are going to get most mileage on PCs with more than 2 cores. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suma 8 Posted June 3, 2010 Will using 5 and 7 have any effect on a dual core? Yes, it will. We did not enable it by default, though, as it seems the second core would probably get too much load with this. If you want to try and post results here, you are welcome to do so.

suma 8 Posted June 3, 2010 Can you clarify Suma? For dual-core/dual-cpu this beta is "default" set for -exthreads=3? No. For dual-core default is set for -exthreads=0. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex72 1 Posted June 3, 2010 Tested some example missions and freeroamed on Utes and Cherna with ExThreads=7. No crashes. FPS seems good. Will dig a bit deeper and test ExThreads=5 as well. Thanks BIS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richey79 10 Posted June 3, 2010 (edited) First impressions, not being too specific (bear in mind the excitement of a new beta has its effect!): Using -exThreads=7 Win 7 x64 Putting graphics memory to default and texture memory to normal gives much less noticable LOD pop-in than a few beta patches previous. First they got rid of the flash, now the texture change is pretty subtle. In the past I put texture memory to high in order to avoid stuttering from constant LOD changing. Completely stable for me with -exThreads=7. No crashes in a mission spawning about 150 units in Chernagorsk using DAC and arty module. Smooth enough that I've started using 'high' postprocessing. A few beta patches before, there's no way I would have chosen to use any postprocessing, as I'd have had unpleasant stuttering. Good patch for me. Cheers!

Alex72 1 Posted June 3, 2010 Please state all the important hardware. Should help BIS even more. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeMeSiS 11 Posted June 3, 2010 (edited) Yes, it will. We did not enable it by default, though, as it seems the second core would probably get too much load with this.If you want to try and post results here, you are welcome to do so. Well i tried. I made a test with lots of AI on Utes: 7 seemed to give the best performance, but overall the performance between all 3 was very small. I had taskmanager open at a second screen so i could compare core usage while playing, 0 seemed to have the lowest core0 usage before any fighting(80-90%, core1 usage was more or less the same on all 3 options. But once everyone was shooting, all 3 options almost completely filled up both cores. Then i played one of my missions on Chernarus: Me walking and driving around on Chernarus with just the ACM filling it up with units. Performance of 7 seemed to be the lowest (Some stutter/very short 'hangs' reported by other users in other versions as well, though i had never seen them before), 0 and 3 were more or less the same. No big difference in core usage, though 0 seemed to stress Core0 a bit less then the 3 and 7. Also LOD loading seemed to be the best on 3 or 7, but that may have been random as well since i havent had any problems with it since a couple of BETA's ago. At least on 0 is still seemed to be better then what i remember from 1.04 and earlier. One thing which did give a HUGE difference: On the mission in Chernarus, i use a script which checks all the buildings, and then randomly destroys parts of them. This locks up the game while it is doing that, partly because i didnt put any 'pause' in the script, but probably also because it is loading the destruction models for every building on the island. On 0 the game locked up for about 10 seconds. But on 7 the game locked up for almost 2 minutes. I repeated this several times and it happened every time. Core0 usage lowered in these 2 minutes to around 20%, while Core1 usage was ~90% the entire time.

maddogx 13 Posted June 3, 2010 Nemesis, can you upload that building destruction mission/script somewhere, so other peeps can test it? Sounds very interesting for performance testing, and I'm sure BIS would like to check it out too. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
det99 10 Posted June 3, 2010 Seit dem Beta-Patch" 70951" und auch in diesem Beta-Patch" 71141" fehlen unter Einzelspieler/ Trainingslager die ganzen Missionen. Könnte das jemand mal ins Englische übersetzen. Danke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
