MavericK96 0 Posted June 24, 2010 (edited) Just tested this, and as with the modified LAA .exe from the previous build, this build seems to fix the issue I was having here. However, sometimes after I Suspend a mission (such as the bmCoastalFlight benchmark) with this build, the game will lock up, and I am required to open Task Manager to close the program. Has anyone else run into this issue? EDIT: Posted a CIT ticket here: http://dev-heaven.net/issues/11435 Edited June 24, 2010 by MavericK96 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwarden 1125 Posted June 24, 2010 more people are needed to test this beta build ! and if you have any crashes with these builds then asap share crashdumps (CIT, upload somewhere or send to me) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fireball 16 Posted June 24, 2010 It seems to me that tree LODs (or LOD switching) had been modified. They look now much more proper and foto realistic, but FPS suffers during flight. This is also apparent in my latest Coastal Flight BM run; - blue is 70951 with exThreads=3 - yellow is 71213 with exThreads=7 - red is 71726 with exThreads=7 As you can see, latest beta hogs flight view performance pretty much. I like the view though. It would be a good compromise to switch to low LODs if FPS drops below 15, IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InFireBaptize 0 Posted June 24, 2010 (edited) Played for half an hour, RAM usage was at 2.29GB, CPU at points hit up to 90%. No mods, played bear rising, exThreads=7. CPU O.C to 3.8Ghz. No CTD I will test more and report. Edit: my windows 7 eats up about 1GB, sometimes less, about 800MB if i run Game booster.

MavericK96 0 Posted June 24, 2010 I just did some more testing, and running ArmAIIMark causes the game to lock up for me. It happens every time in exactly the same spot during Test 3 when you start to see the colored smoke popping near the tanks. I've reported it in this ticket since it is similar to the other issue I am having with lock-ups. http://dev-heaven.net/issues/11435 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very nice performance and no crashes. The only issues were some peoples internet connections dropping out and not related to ArmA2. it's a lot smoother, an increase in FPS and better lod switching certainly on my rig. I recorded the whole event. Wednesday 23rd June 2010. Omission War Coop Event: Runtime 1 hour 16 minutes. Excellent beta BIS!. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CameronMcDonald 146 Posted June 24, 2010 (edited) I'm getting great RAM usage (up to ~5.5GB at times), but am now being plagued by a ingame lockup. Seems to relate to Windoze 7 x64.

Not really sure how much is necessary. Oh, and regarding page files in relation to the freezing problem, my page file is 6 GB minimum I believe, and I get the freezing issue, so it's not that.

Richey79 10 Posted June 24, 2010 Cheers Rock. I added my .RPT and crash dump. Crash dump reports 'The thread tried to read from or write to a virtual address for which it does not have the appropriate access.' I tested in Flashpoint:Utes. The game ran with stutters for a minute, then CTDs, presumably when a helo launches counter-measures, but it wasn't within the player's view. All works fine with vanilla (71726, natch).
