OS mentioned a few times before that its scalable :)

Got another 8GB of RAM! :) Running most of the .pbo's from the "Addons" folder on an 8GB RAMDisk. This, coupled with the recent Dev Branch and sensible graphics settings, have improved things quite a bit. The stuttering is alot better. Its not a "night and day" difference but it is noticeable. I may switch back to the HDD on monday if the dev branch updates prove to be a pain, moving files around all the time, and compare the performance some more. i5 2500k @ 4.4ghz ati 6950 @ stock win 7 64bit Thanks for all the tips guys!

Hey! I'm running the game from a HDD and I'm looking at setting up a RAMDisk to try and avoid some of the stuttering. My question: What would be the biggest sized RAMDisk I could safely make with a total of 8GB of RAM? Thanks, Steven.

This may be the route I go down as Arma 3 is the only game I play. Cheaper than a SSD, too!

That thread about I/O looks very interesting. Thanks for sharing :) Time to do some reading....

Which .pbo's would you say are read the most? I may set up a small ramdisk purely to test as, well, its free! I see no point having the RAM unused (for the most part...).

Thanks, Neuro. Funnily enough it was the Samsung 840 I've just been looking at! :)

Thanks for the replies! I shall look into a SSD and thanks for the tips about read/write speeds and compatibility.

Trying to put into words how much I am enjoying this game just doesn't do it justice....

Admittedly, I haven't played for about a week, but the stuttering today is quite bad. Frame rate is good but the stuttering is spoiling the fun :(

Great news, OS!

Thanks very much!

Same issue as zhrooms. Full error is: no entry 'config.bin/cfgdiary/fixedpages/conversation.type'

This is a helpful thread, seeing as I was unsure whether to buy now or wait a month or two. ....

Happy new year, LJ!

Thank you LJ! Happy Christmas :)

Im having the same problem. However, Ive had great fun flying with a (very old) joystick this evening!!

Excellent!! Thanks alot man!

Looking good, OS! Cant wait for the updated weapon sounds! They really add to the immersion with the distance effects.

Finally got the time to install and play and wanted to say thanks. Great performance on my ageing machine :) Thanks BIS!

Thanks for this really useful tool, tpw. Its really helping to keep my framerate acceptable on my ageing system.

Yeah I feel the same way. As has been mentioned already, whenever theres a new post in this thread I get excited that the mod has been updated. I fully understand that RL can add complications though.

I really appreciate all your hard work on this amazing mod, lordjarhead! The sounds are fantastic and they really add depth to an already deep game. Looking forward to the update. Steven.

Hi Silola, Yes removing the "-mod=@DAC" results in no problems with OA. Im thinking its just a prob with the beta maybe? Steven.

Can someone please help me get this set up to run with OA latest beta. it works fine in arma 2 but not in OA Ive tried copying the files to the correct locations and adding the -mod=@DAC but i get 2 error messages when trying to start the game. the first is 'bin\config.bin/cfginGameUI/mptable shadow' then 'error compiling pixel shader PSSpecularAlpha:0' so i tried launching the mod via the expansions menu. this works fine in patch 1.52 but none of the mods show up in the beta. Any help is greatly appreciated! thanks, Steven.
