    How do you 'look' for it?  The ways mentioned above are the only ways to get the max height.  So I am at a loss how you 'look at it'.  I am also taking about automating this process.  If you're talking about looking at the map, they can be WRONG.  The Livonia map is one where the map has the wrong heights listed.  See a post of mine from above stating this.

     

    These scripts are the only accurate way to get it.  Map configs could be missing as well, so that is also useless,

     

    Also, what I was after was to know the max height on ANY map as quickly as possible.  Start mission, I know height immediately.  The player has to do nothing and the height is determined in less than 3 seconds with the player not even noticing that this is being done.

     

    🙂

     

    By running the game, opening the editor and looking for the highest peaks. You don't need to automate everything. The couple of minutes you spend getting this information manually will soon be much shorter than the 3 seconds every time it's played.

    When I've found what looks like the highest position from the editor map, spawn an entity there, run the mission and get it's z value.

      

    switch (worldName) do
{
	case "Altis": {maxel = 350};// thronos
	case "Stratis": {maxel = 236};// camp maxwell
	case "Tanoa": {maxel = 443};// Mount Tanoa eastern rim
	~
	~

};

    Now this is interesting because I've always been pro AIO and you have been anti them, in general.

    I always said to you that I didn't know of any failures.  that's not quite true.  A friend did have  a failure of the tubing where it enters the radiator and in this case, it was an Alphacool.

    It means nothing in the grand scheme of things of course because it happened some years ago and 1 isolated failure shouldn't reflect on the general reputation of a manufacturer, but it was enough to make ne buy Corsair.

    This used to work just fine, then I got a new graphics card and Shadowplay isn't recording game audio. It records my microphone, but all my captures are otherwise silent.

     

    I've got the game set to output sound (Arma3 > options >audio) to my headphones (Logitech G533) but Shadowplay will only record game sound if I set that to my monitor, which it says is Q3277 Nvidia High Definition Audio (Q3277 being my monitor)

     

    This was working until I got the GPU and reinstalled it's drivers, along with, presumably, the Nvida Audio drivers too.

     

    Any ideas why I can't have the game audio through my headphones and Shadowplay record game sound?

    Mission updated to 1.20.4776.

     

    Lots of optimisations, many related to the Cam Lao Nam version

    Other new features include the ability to laser guide cruise missles in the terminal phase

    Working tactical ping (suggest disabling the BI one as this uses, by default the same keystrokes)

    New secondary mission, boat patrol

    Hopefully fixed graphics glitch on destroyed Kamish and Tigris

    Siren sounds in primary target when last few enemy AI rush players.

     

    Download links on first page.

    To reiterate, this mission is designed to work on dedicated servers. It will work on a hosted server too, though you might see some things that are supposed to be on the server only.

    I’m in hospital at the moment, multiple internal organs failed and I was rushed to hospital, and when they had me on the harder drugs in Emergency/ICU on life support I was having Arma based vivid hallucinations while still awake, and trying to write to the nurses about CSAT Pacific (I was intubated but aware, so unable to speak) which was terrifying at the time but almost absurd in hindsight that I was hallucinating this game I’ve put over six thousand hours into by this point.
     

    I’m no longer in serious danger, started slowly trying to walk again and on the way to a several month recovery now just with a bunch of new impressive scars everywhere and some other longer term complications but wanted to share what’s now my biggest ‘You’ve Played Too Much Arma’ moment. 

    That's quite a high price to pay for such an experience. How was your framerate?

     

    PS, Get well soon.

    @Tankbuster, congrats on your new 30xx card, hopefully you can still feed your family. 🙂 

     

    Yeah, so as I mentioned, there is number of factors at play. Check the cable situation first.

    • GPU, even if new, can be faulty but what I would check first is the PCI-e if GPU is slotted properly. Motherboards have those pins on right hand side to hold it in place these days but it can still happen. So take it out and put it back in. Since your GPU is new I doubt this is the case but as a tip, if your PC has been sitting for a while, clean it with either vacuum cleaner or air compressor (be careful not to over spin the fans and damage the bearings) and use Isopropyl type alcohol to clean the connections, especially ones delivering power - to hard drives and whatnot. Obviously make sure power delivery to PC is disabled first! Flip the PSU switch, extension cord switch or just pull the power cable out. Be sure to check all those power related connections whether they are dusty or not though.
    • Software, drivers and Windows. As we establish you're running NVidia, you can refer to some of my previous post like a page back in this thread about potential problems with DCH drivers and some Windows versions. Use DDU to do a clean sweep. You can also try older drivers and ultimately older versions of Windows 10.
    • Cables, connectors and ports. Make sure those are all sitting properly. If you have other spare cables, try those and as Valken mentioned, make sure those cables are actually compatible.
    • Monitor, difficult to troubleshoot, if you have a spare PC or compatible laptop, you can try that and isolate/narrow down the issue.
    • Lastly, how is your power output situation? Is only your PC and peripherals going out of wall socket through extension cord or you have any other high power consuming device connected to that wall socket?

    So, if all seems well with the above and issue still persists, contact either monitor manufacturer tech support or take the whole setup to a shop/repair service. Hopefully you wont have to but please, if you find yourself in this situation again, state all this in your OP. I'm assuming a lot here and we're going back and forth more then necessary, when all this may very well be common knowledge to you and may have already done all that. You've been around for a long time, you know what's up, it's like the editing section. 🙂

    I've reseated the card and its power cables. The machine is fairly clean. I use an airblower every few months to clean it and it's got no dust in it right now.

    I've tried older drivers.

    The PC is on a multigang cable. I plugged it into a wall socket.

    The issue persists. I'm really suspecting the monitor which claims to be able to do 60Hz at native, can't. I'm already in touch with AOC. They've pretty much said what you guys have. I think I'll look to pick up a new monitor in the sales later in the year.

    @Tankbuster Going to assume you have a new power supply and using the in the box GPU to monitor cable. 

     

    I had a problem with AMD 6950 back then until I swapped in the cables from the box. Turns out my older Nvidia cable was not HDMI compliant but with bog VGA cables, it worked.

    Power supply not new, but only a couple of years old. It's a Corsair 750w unit.

    I've tried a number of different cables, including an *k certified DP cable, issue persists.
