    Black screen

    Is this ever actually going to be fixed? I've run into this now after having swapped graphics cards and to be honest, running some commands and having to reboot my machine every time I want to play ArmA for any amount of time is incredibly user-unfriendly. It's a messy hack that shouldn't be required.
  2. Can rate-limiting on the server's firewall provide a possible work-around for the custom file issue? Would testing with/without custom files help? Would setting MaxCustomFileSize in basic.cfg prevent custom file lag? -To Whom it may concern, Thanks for your help. Rate limiting on the server's firewall would only cause the lag to last longer as it would mean it takes longer to send that mission file to the player (as it freezes while it's sending it) so you'd do the opposite to what you want to do here.

    Improving Linux Dedicated Server Performance

    I'd expect 250Hz/1000Hz with No-Preemp or Voluntary Preemp to work best. The main benefit of using forced-preemp is that it makes keyboard/mouse action more responsive on that machine itself, while lowering performance of processes running on the machine. So for a server that would never be useful as it would slow down what is running on it, without any actual benefit.

    Those are bad ideas simply because 32 players isn't enough to fill out both sides of Sahrani (or even just one side in many cases). Also the police are stretched enough most of the time as-is.

    That would leave cops entirely without AA. A better solution would be to deal with the people exploiting that bug (and also to report it to BI).

    I have draw distance set to 700 for instance, if someone has it set to 1500 and sniping then you can imagine...

    The draw distance wont be increased most likely because it would then give some an advantage over others who can't have such a high view distance, not an issue for Evo as that's co-op. Issetea, I don't think the game is saving licences when people reconnect, it comes up with a script bug about it too. Ignore that, just tested it myself and it worked, but I still have an odd error to upload for you.

    BUGS - BUGS - BUGS - BUGS 1.22 - Money in the bank is NOT saved after reconnecting to a server (major). Pick-ups still for sale in Obregon but they cannot be purchased even with the right licence (claims you don't have the licence). Pick-ups now missing from police car shop. Various (quite a few) script errors (I'll send you screen-shots over ICQ tomorrow). AK ammo missing from the Police item shop (but AK-PSO for sale there, etc). Shop windows need to be raised higher or shrunk slightly from the bottom so that chat doesn't obscure the lower parts/buttons. Cops can buy and sell Drugs which means you end up with idiots using the cop side as an easy way of doing drugs. That's all that seems to have been noticed from about 32 people on a server for over 4 hours. BUGS - BUGS - BUGS - BUGS

    Actually most people I know become Mayor not because they want to be Mayor but simply for the extra cash, they have no intentions on trying to sort things out or set anything up. There should be some obligations so it's not just a case of "vote for me so I can get some extra cash!".

    BUG - BUG - BUG - BUG Issetea: Cops can buy explosives now but if you try and buy RPG or M136 ammo in the cop base (I'm assuming also Strella, Stinger, etc ammo) it gives a ArmA script error (the message box pop-up window) rather than a mission script error. Sorry, the error only shows once so I can't check what it was again. It was one of those "... not found in..." messages. Second is weapon selling prices. i.e. if you buy an M136 for nearly 40k, it only sells for 3.5k... that's a massive price drop.

    Issetea, another large bug is that the Mayor can't change the laws, you get script errors. Also noticed that there is no explosives licence meaning that even cops can't buy any weapons with a grenade launcher as well as Stingers, Javelin, Strella, RPG, M136, etc... ---------------- Bug summary so far from me for 1.20: Can't change laws as mayor, causes a script error. Police can't buy explosives due to no licence (not purchasable anywhere). Weapons in civs inventories show as "...bool array...". Check for Drugs always claims that the civ has drugs.

    The jail town is Obregon, it has a pickup shop and I -think- it sells Skodas (Issetea said that almost all vehicle shops sell Skodas so it's a guess...)

    Ok, there's a major bug with 1.20. When cops use "Check for drugs" it -always- says the civ has drugs. You can try people that have just joined the server or just spawned, etc and it will say they have drugs. On a side note, it may be worth moving the handgun shop off the main road (maybe just down that side road past the Gas Station), it kinda leads to issues with lots of armed people messing around there rather than somewhere slightly more out of the way.

    Link doesn't work, 404 File not found. Anyway, care to let me know how I can help with testing other versions?

    Could someone please inform me on how to take part/help out with the Beta Testing? (I'm Enverex in-case anyone was wondering, this is my old handle).
