    Then don't do business with said company? You're being offered a deal/product, you can walk away from that deal, but I understand the emotional need to express your dependency on said product, that has changed slightly, yet you still crave it.

    ... I can live with it. I dont NEED to buy games from such companies.
    I dont NEED to buy games
    I dont NEED

    Freud would argue otherwise. It's okay.

    @white haven't you been listening? This is a well documented case, where barley two cores are being utilized properly, it doesn't matter whenever it's an alpha or not, since this dates way back, to the year of 2009! Almost five years have past, they've had plenty of time for improvement, for them to sort their shit out, once and for all, however it remains queued on ice. They don't even dare to openly acknowledge this irritable issue in public!

    Calm down, it's been assigned/acknowledged with 450 votes on the feedback tracker. We know it's (probably) game over for smaller communities/casual servers if performance stays the same on Altis.

    XR had Benny. Most people have no idea how much he optimized the sharing of info well beyond the limits of what BIS ever intended to be done. He had to invest that much into the game because the framework BIS gave him was utter rubbish. And in the end it made him quit the mapmaking. Just like it did with most good mappers.

    That he did, but the very same BE Warfare versions ran, like I said, "ok-ish" on 3.5/4 GHz servers, as opposed to XR's stellar performance.

    Unless the multithreading capability gets greatly enhanced, I suspect we will either have to down-size to 20-24 player limit for every major CTI mission, or OC the CPUs sky-high.

    I have no OC.

    On steam forums some guy wrote some tips for ppl having same problem "uninstall zonealarm"

    I have zonealarm but it is ridiculous that I would need to uninstall it. Game should not be racist to antivir programs :/

    I didnt have almost no issue with my pc and games. Only Euro Truck Simulator 2 one time caused BSOD. But other games no problems till now with arma 3:/

    my video drivers are 306.23

    CPU: i7 3820

    GPU: GTX 660Ti

    MOBO:MSI X79A-GD65 (8D)

    RAM: Corsair vengeance 16GB

    Can't you put ZA into sleep/silent mode? Disable while you run the game.

    This topic again? GOD NO.

    The term "suppression" is used loosely in the way you describe, but in doctrinal land warfare vernacular, it's quantified and separated into two main effects - completely inhibiting the enemy's ability to act (suppressed), or turning him around and sending him somewhere else (neutralized). So when we apply fire, we do so knowing it will have one of 3 outcomes - the enemy will either be suppressed, be neutralized, or remain effective. No matter what, the result will always be one of those. And even diminished effectiveness still constitutes effective in this context.

    A diminished capacity to act - as little as one guy holding his AK above the trench - constitutes him still being effective - because if he can do that, he can also do other things like throw grenades, shoot your assaulters when they approach or what have you. The point is he's still resisting and can still inflict casualties. That means he's not yet suppressed. In tactics language, suppressed means not able to do anything. So suppression is either a one or a zero. You've either suppressed someone or you haven't. And while it may sound like semantics, suppression is a very important event in a firefight that triggers subsequent steps being set into motion.

    I'll use the example of the typical canadian section attack drill to illustrate what i mean.

    Once the advancing section comes under effective enemy fire, the next thing they do is try to gain fire superiority over the enemy position they're taking fire from and which they want to attack. The section will actually stay put (no longer advancing) and try to put down a volume of fire on the enemy that totally forces him to hunker down. The section commander will know this has been accomplished when there's no more fire coming from that location. That point in the attack is what we call "winning the firefight". And once the section commander knows he's won the firefight, then and only then will the section begin their advance up the the enemy position. And they'll do it while simultaneously keeping constant amount of fire on the enemy location that's sufficient to KEEP the enemy's head down. But the point is, the "winning the firefight" is a very concrete landmark in an attack. It's the point where the targeted enemy is no longer firing back. That's what we refer to as "suppression". It's a black and white thing, although we sometimes refer to suppression as being subjective.

    Oh, and to answer your question - 16 years in the infantry.

    Chris wins this thread, at least in defining what the term actually means. Also, here's a bonus featuring REAL suppressive fire as described above,





    Can you peeps spot it?

    Chris, if your proposition is only limited to AI and not BF3-like schizoid effects on the player, then Good luck to you.

    Hello

    My Problem is that i cant play the Multiplayer because i play with 8 FpS or less, i have a 3000 kb/s Internet Line but a good Computer. also with low grapik setting it doesn't work. It is Possible that it lies on the Internet?

    It is poor server FPS performance, which limits client FPS. Don't even second-guess it, it's not your fault, or the fault of your PC.

    Try other servers.

    What drivers are you running? Try updating to 314 @ Nvidia.com & perhaps resetting the settings in the Global profile Nvidia Control Panel.

    Last resort would be to remove the OC on your GPU - a lot of games in early stages don't take too kindly to any kind of OC.

    Apparently theres issues with ai causing fps loss"Co-op missions and certain AI instructions in Alpha currently can reduce a server to 1-2 FPS with 0 clients on, and only a few AI.

    PVP Missions seem to perform quite well for an Alpha.

    That was posted as Alert from Jestservers

    Always been like that, even moreso in ArmA III with PhysX being calculated on server CPU.

    There are 2-3 main threads with at least 10 pages each on these forums about CPU underutilisation/multicore/physics/ai performance woes.

    It launchers, goes black, then something about Intel Drivers crashing. According to task manager it is still running. I've read about other people having this as a bug. I can run arma 2 and arma 2OA along with call of duty.

    I doubt the HD 2000 is supported, since it's almost 2 generations behind and it is an integrated Intel GFX solution.

    You need a dedicated card.

    Ok peeps need some constructive answers please!!

    My specs:

    Intel Core I5 750 (o'c to 3.2Ghz) (stock is 2.67Ghz)

    Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 Ti

    8GB DDR3 RAM

    Win7 Ultimate 64 bit

    Motherboard: Asus P7H55

    Hard drive: WDC WD5000AAKS-00UU3A0 ATA Device

    I am getting really low FPS, should I be? I have turned down the settings to "standard" in most cases, screenshots:

    Set the preset to Standard & turn off VSync! Then put Shadow on High, PIP - Low, PostProc Quality - Low, Objects - High, Textures - High.

    Keep the standard View Distance. BTW, shadow on high is because I think they're rendered on the CPU if put on Normal, just like in ArmA II. You need to balance the load, divert more to your powerful GPU.

    I think Vsync is your main problem, it limits your FPS if you can't keep it close to your monitor's refresh rate, which is probably 60. Turning off Vsync may open up High preset for you.

    When I see someone, I shoot. Then I hear some people raging, then I found out, it was friendly fire. Is there any easy way to see if the person is enemy or friendly. I try looking at the clothes and camo, but it looks alike. Kinda :yay:.

    Help me out here guys :cool:

    I initially had the same problem... Camos kinda similar in style, but play for another 10 hours & you should naturally come to recognise the subtle gear differences & the more pronounced colour difference. :)

    The year is 2013 and their engine can't still fully utilize a dual nor quad-core.

    Yes... this is the only angle we can complain from, because PhysX & AI performance per core is good, but multithreaded/multicore utilisation is, sadly, where it had been in ArmA II.

    With the added load of physics simulation, multithreading will mean life or death for non-OC/casual servers.
