OA + Beta patch: startup parameters

[bushpig 10]

Are these startup parameters needed when using the latest beta patch for OA?

-maxMem=2047 -CpuCount=4 -exThreads=7

Because, I found that these commands gave me a nice FPS boost when using them before the patch. Do I still need to use them, or does the beta patch account for them.

Thanks.

hi bushpig,

Ive found that cpucount, maxmem and exthreads is no longer needed with the OA beta. Same as arma2 1.07. As I recall it defaults to cpucount=4 and exThreads=7 for quad core.

I have a 6 core cpu, so am using the -cpucount=6 parameter, and as well the -nosplash.

I use them anyway but as others said they are not needed any more.

One more question about the start-parameters of OA (beta):

I asked about this in another thread, but was not able to get a solution for it. Perhaps its better placed here and a dev can make clearness.

Is it possible for OA to use this code in any way for the new islands of OA?

[b]-world=[/b] Select a world loaded by default, e.g. -world=Sara

In the other thread, Big Dawg had an idea for it, but none of the island-names work in my case:

Um, yea it would be the same parameter:

-world=Takistan

Or does that not work...?

Edit: It might actually be Takistan_E or Takistan_EP1. I can't remember the exact island name. Try them all until one works.

Are there other terms for the islands to get it run?

-world=empty
-world=Takistan
-world=Zargabad
-world=Deser_E

Work fine for me. If your exe and path to exe is enclosed in quotes make sure the start-up parameters are outside the quotes.

-Will try it after work, probably a fault by my side then. Thanks, Rok!

Are you guys still using the -maxMen=2027 parameter ?

I never saw it was included in the beta patch change log.

What about the -winxp parameter any benift to using that on still ??

Im using only -CpuCount=4 (since i have HT on in BIOS). MaxMem i never used as it never did anything on my PC's, and now the game is using more memory in the latest patches and OA so i wont limit that personally.

I used ExThreads before but stopped as i cant really see any difference in latest OA. Not sure however if its actually in the latest OA patch since most here reported during BETA that ExThreads=7 was the best overall so they might have included that, but not 100% sure.
