I just tried and I get directional, all I can say however is the bass has just increased now on vehicles it seems, my sub is woofing.

Multiplayer FPS Drop / Bug ? (After x minutes/hours)
thr0tt posted a topic in ARMA 3 - TROUBLESHOOTING
Hi, Had this a few times now and it seems very random but after playing MP for a while normally more than at least 30-45 minutes (guess) I, not always, get a massive drop in FPS from a solid 30-40 to 1-6, this seems to effect the game engine as to clear I have to quit and restart the game, I have tested by reducing ALL the video setting to the lowest possible and it has zero effect on the FPS... I alt-tab out and checked memory and all it good, no processes running out the ordinary, change the game priority to high and highest, tried to change how many CPU's used, no effect. The transition from good FPS to 1-6FPS is instant, not degrading, so its like a switch that goes boom, FPS shot... Anyone else have this or Devs aware ? Difficult to reproduce as it takes time to appear and noone else on the server has the same issue at the same time which makes me feel its local not server. -

thr0tt replied to thr0tt's topic in ARMA 3 - TROUBLESHOOTING
Heat not a problem, no over clock on anything and specs in my sig. I'm able to play A2 for hours on servers and to date of had this issue with any other game including Crysis 3, BF series, Metro 2033 etc etc. Sure its sounds heat but it appears like a trigger I.e. one moment every thing is fine then flick of a switch fps are 1-6 fish (going by in game fps counter in settings). Temps in PC don't go above 60°c, same for all games, normally when I've seen temp issues it displays artifacts this just slows the game down, immediately exit and join again its all fine for the next few hours, if it was heat and something else running then it would not do this. -
I understand its purpose but a) have no idea how to make missions b) have no idea how to fix someone else's missions and c) am just a simpler gamer looking to make my experience more trouble free. :)

Would love the option to move where the script error shows on screen, atm centre screen is not the best place as it can ruin running a game even with script errors.
-
Have you checked RPT file ?

How to make server hardcore? (i.e. first person only)
thr0tt replied to magnum482's topic in ARMA 3 - MULTIPLAYER
Discussion on 3rd and 1st person views have been had, it in fact was agreed it gives you the benefit you would have I real life yet of course you can't see yourself but having 3rd person makes up for physical situational awareness. But yet I like both either forced or ability to choose, each make for great gameplay. -
Beta = things will change in stable less frequent releases Beta Dev = Lots will change potentially daily to get ready for stable beta releases Final = stable branch for you to release missions. If you don't want so many 'issues' either work on beta only or wait for final I'm afraid, why hold back improvements and fixes so missions still work ? BI need constructive feedback, name changes help organise and well help new mission designers when they come also, its not just done for fun of it.

Is there any way a switch can be used to disable the rpt file writes ? I understand its use and know that many send them off to be analysed if there are issues but for me it causes more problems than its worth. To get past the issue I posted a 'fix' by putting these on a ram drive or if you have SSD then may not see this. The main issue for me is due to the read/write contention for the engine and streaming when you play MP with many missing mods or poorly scripted missions (not complaining ;) ). Stutters every few seconds is what happens to me a others, currently -profiles=e:\profiles (e: being my ram drive) solves the problem but not long term. A useful toggle off switch -norpt etc. would mean one could disable if needed but default it stays on for those not worried about it. Any issue with doing this or is it beyond the engine ? Cheers,
-
Try the new switch -nologs and see if that effects your drops.
-
"-nologs" may improve performance, no stuttering, read details
thr0tt replied to Dwarden's topic in ARMA 3 - TROUBLESHOOTING
This works great for me, the main time you will see this if a mission mainly mp has script or errors writting out all the time. For instance I had a 8mb RPT file after playing a stutter server, stutters were as it it wrote out the missing items as I constantly walked or drove past them. This is a god send to me, some others with faster drives may not see the benefits as their systems can handle multiple writes but not all have ssd's yet and proven if u redirect to a ram drive the stutters are gne due to fast writes off to ram not HDD. Again, thanks BI. -
-nologs no need for ram drives any more. Nice :D I can't test as I can't get to pc due to operation but really want to test. Ok, pained my way to my office and tested, works a treat, very smooth, no more stutters with this command, GREAT WORK BI ! xxx
-
All I can say is BI you are the best ! Having that option in the latest release should save many of us this stutter and as its optional via startup then simple add or remove if reports are needed. Fantastic work !
-
:) I did post another thread seeing if the rtp file could be toggled off but seems overlooked, ah well glad this worked for a few others.
-
ooohhh nnoooo not the jump conversation.....
-
Thats the RPT file issue with it writing out errors in this constantly so conflicting with your read/writes on the hard disk as the ArmA engine relies on streaming so needs this. Create a RamDrive and use the profiles command to change where your profile is (copy over existing profile) and you will see a difference. (-profiles=X:\profiles (X: being your new ramdrive))

Typing Message in chat = Movement, ejecting etc.
thr0tt posted a topic in ARMA 2 & OA - TROUBLESHOOTING
Has this been addressed and being fixed at all ? Type a message in game and my watch, compass, lean etc. all appear which is pretty annoying. Surely when typing this shouldn't happen. -
Same here, works fine, just go in and assign the buttons etc. Simples... I did buy another stick that broke as I always found the throttle here was in such a daft place but hey ho, it works.
-
Check the RPT file and see if that is increasing in size during your mission / game, this is what caused me and many others issues last time as it wrote it out to the hard disk (those of us not on SSD) so it completed with texture streaming. If it is then I did post a quick fix to create a RAMDisk using a free utility and pointing your profile at that, it then removed the stutters, hopefully this isnt back as I removed my ramdisk a while back, simple to put back.
-
Slight decrease in performance for me I have noticed but not worried as it could just be tweaks needed my end of the game. Great 3d sights and new vehicles.

AMD radeon driver cat 13.4, known issues?
thr0tt replied to Treehugger's topic in ARMA 3 - BETA DISCUSSION
Ive needed to wipe a few times between betas but agreed you should normally need to, the only time I have needed to is when I lose CCC tbh. 13.6b2 here too, no obvious driver issues. -
I think the release an update every day thing has made everyone expect one every day, spoilt if you ask me. I appreciate Dwarden posting no update today but I really dont think he or any of BI need to tbh, folk will 'expect' daily updates or notifications, 1 a week would suffice for me. :)
-
So no Altis in the beta, damn, only new vehicles and stuff. I feel Stratis is going to be so overplayed by the time we get the new island folk will never use it again which is a shame. :(
