69782 performance and stability feedback

[69782 performance and stability feedback]

This is exactly what makes PC development a nightmare. The only differences between 69645 and 69782 are a few simple bug fixes. I cannot see anything which could affect performance in any significant way. Even the "missing terrain" bug was a more or less a visual thing, with very little performance impact.

I am convinced that even if we made no fixes at all, just released a patch with a new version number, there would still be people who would get worse (or better) performance from it.

Hi Suma.

Thanks a lot for all your hard work and your team.

I have been testing this new beta and overall i feel much better. :)

Bu it's one thing that really give me BIG problems. FRAPS don't work, record a movie and all stop up with 1 - 2 FPS, my HD don't work like it should when recording.

With beta 63826 no problems at all. :S

I hope u you BIS can look into this issue.

Thanks

[69782 performance and stability feedback]

Hi.

+ no more texture bug.

+ texture load little bit faster

- lost overall 5 - 7 FPS everywhere

- can't use FRAPS anymore. Totally laggy record down to 1 FPS. Never ever had this problem before with older beta and stable version

[Patch 69645 - changes under the hood]

Hi.

Same problem here to. But the white texture is gone if i change my VD above 3000. I use normally 1500.

I stay with the previous beta patch. :) When i increase the VD from 1500 to 3000m i lose 15 FPS.

Hi.

Anyone tested the "new" Nvidia driver v.197.45?

Thanks

Hi.

It's it possible that you may change the @CBA folder to something else, like @ACE_CBA since you have change almost all the files and there is still some mods out there that required @CBA (v.0.30) like SLX mod. Not user if SLX mod can use your modified @CBA.

Just an idea :)

Nice info :)

Thanks ;)

[Latest beta and CTD - please read]

I don't have any problems now. No more CTD i believe. I was playing for some hours last day, and had only arma2 hangup when i got shoot by heavy armor, like tanks. After that i can't respawn . Have to use task manager to close arma2.exe. Not sure if this is only for the berzerk server.

But the other CTD is gone.

[Beta patching - no beta file]

Hi.

Well seems to me that you maybe have a registry error in your windows. The Beta patch automatically find your ArmA2 install folder and then it start to install, and it's make a new folder called beta.

Turn off antivirus program and try to install the beta again.

[Latest beta and CTD - please read]

Hi.

Ok i have been testing the MP on a berzerk server for 5 hours with the new beta.. so far so good. No CTD. Lets see if i can play another 5 hours again without any CTD.

Cheers

I prefer English :)

[Latest beta and CTD - please read]

Well, sorry to say this. but i also notice lot of CTD in MP... not in SP. I only play COOP maps on MP.

At this time i use original 1.04.59026 patch no beta... seems to be better.

EDIT:

Yesterday i got CDT almost every 2 hours.

And today, well... got CTD 20 min in game when i start up a truck.

["Out of memory" what exactly does it mean?]

Why would the dedicated server use VRAM? Isn't VRAM Video-RAM, i.e. the memory on your graphics card?

["Out of memory" what exactly does it mean?]

No problem here. Have been playing some custom made SP missions for almost 7 hours today :)

I have never seen "Out of memory" on my system before with Arma.

Is this "Out of memory" message only happens in MP ?

This games is like Microsoft Flight Simulator X, it's need horsepower, real American muscle. CPU like 4-8Ghz, fast disk, fast memory. Be happy if you can run this game with 25 FPS in average. ArmA2 is running OK here.
