    You know...You hit everything that I also miss, OFP was the bomb back in the day when it first came out, it was a brand new type of game (for me anyways)...With the most exciting campaign/gameplay I have ever known. The Arma 2 campaign was just bleh, Haven't bought Operation Arrowhead yet, (since it is backordered at gamestop -.-)...But I hope it is at least better then Arma 2, and gives me some excitment :).

    I posted this in another Forum with Operation Arrowhead but got no response.

    This has to do with the combined operations (Arma 2+Arrowhead)...My friend was wondering, since Gamestop should be carrying the game (Pre Ordering w/e)...If it will be in stock in Puerto Rico? he told me there was a gamestop there, but wasn't sure since he Lives in Puerto Rico...Thanks.

    OT:

    BIS is really my favourite company because they can resist the requirements of the mainstream and make the hardcore game at the time of "simple-action" titles, they are working hard on patches trying to make the game better, communicate with their community and also live in my country :-)

    Keep up the good work, BIS :-)

    It's funny to look at the BFBC2 forum where players wait more than month for fixing some basic issues and have nearly zero feedback from the developers.

    Yeah, tbh...This and a few other Companies are the only Ones I know that leave feadback on posts, and patch up hardcore problems that people have. If I could draw a Thumbs up Smilie I would :)

    Also, the Community is great...You have a Problem expect an answer in less then a day...Which you don't see in other Forums for other games :).

    I know this has nothing to do with the Beta Patch, but danget...I'm a happy man right now :)

    Well I con honestly say, this patch is awesome :)

    Overall Total from the patches I have had over 8 FPS increase, Better Stability, Less Stuttering, Less EVERYTHING that is bad :bounce3:.

    I can say BIS, is by far the best company at fixing Performance Issues, And trying to make their games Great :D. (unlike Call of duty type games where they just release it and don't give a damn)

    Got to also give a hand to the community :yay:, You guys are fantastic...Thanks for all the help :D.

    New beta 71548 contains some improvements in RAM management and some preparations for the next step, which will be enabling the application as LARGEADDRESSAWARE (running as LARGEADDRESSAWARE should fix the out of memory issues on 64b systems).

    The point of this beta is to:

    - verify the changes made as a part of preparation have not broken RAM management

    - verify the increased file cache size of systems with lot of RAM works

    I have quite a few Improvements with stuttering from this patch, so thumbs up to you guys :).

    I have another Question though, LARGEADDRESSAWARE...is it possible to use now? or would it have problems since you haven't officially released it yet?

    Also, when you do come out with LARGEADDRESSAWARE (and also with the RAM issue and stuttering fixes)...Would that help out situations, such as the Benchmark 2?, or something totally different.

    You shouldn't need to set cpuCount with the latest beta(s). It sets it to "4" automatically for quad-cores.

    I have to set mine everytime...Well idk about the cpucount=4 or w/e, but on the exthreads I have to, notice worse fps if I don't, goes from 28 when I don't add exthreads or cpucount, then 32 when I do add them.

    I have weird problems with this beta using exThreads=7...I loaded up a single player mission...and my Guy looked all paper like :D lol.

    Another thing with this beta (I think it's this beta)...My guy never yells, Fire In The Hole! or stuff like that when he throws a grenade with this beta patch :(

    Make the AI, board vehicles ALOT faster, I tell a group of 8 men to board an mi-8...and 1 hour later it seems like they finally board it..

    No matter what I do, put them on safe, hold fire, etc...they always run around the chopper and lay down, or crouch. then some will board and some will keep on running around it like retards.

    EDIT: didn't read the post above, agreed also...stupid AI think they do what they want no matter what you tell them.

    Well, on the FPS side...I get 1 less FPS than with -exThreads=3...with overall Geometry loading and such, It loads stuff a bit faster than -exThreads=3 so...Id take overall loading than 1 FPS.

    -exThreads=5...has 2 less FPS, and slower loading times it seems like to me anyways. The last beta patch is the one where I had the best performance with -exThreads=3, had 34 FPS, now only 32 with -exThreads=3...but hey, if they even if it out between 30+fps and good loading times and such, I'm a happy man :).

    I run -cpucount=4 wich let me have HT on and no problems in A2.

    Tested the latest patch and very nice to have the stuttery AI animations fixed. :) Performance wise its about the same - wich is good - but i guess the new beta adressed some other things than that. Hopefully grass will be looked at later as well. Some optimization in that area would be superb.

    what does -cpucount=4 mean? it runs all the cores?...

    Also, Maverick...I guess there is a memory leak in there somewhere, because your system blows mine out of the water, but I'm getting 7 FPS more than with 1.05...so I have no idea.

    I'm using a nvidia 9800 gt

    AMD PHENOM 9550 Quad-Core 2.20 GHZ

    6GB RAM

    ...............................................................

    Like on my old post I have seen 7 more FPS increase :)

    I'm running on all Medium settings except Quality Preference or w/e that is on high Maverick, what type of Processor do you have? and is it Quad or Dual? I think this is really helping out Quad Core users a lot more than Dual (but I could be wrong, for me it isn't wrong though lol)..but I have a question

    Is Antialising Really needed? because I get 3 more FPS increase if I have it disabled, would it make that big of a difference? Thanks.

    Alright saok, I will in a little bit :)...and yes it could be.

    EDIT: I did the same Benchmark 1, and got 32 FPS!!!...So scratch out my last post, I'm finally in the 30s now with -exThreads=3 Enabled! :) :) :)

    With the Benchmark 2, however...I still get 10 FPS...BUT, if I get an increase in one of the benchmarks that is fine with me! especially if it is 7 more FPS :)

    Holy Smokes!!! Idk what BIS did, but boy have I gotten better performance from this new beta...I use to get 25 fps with 1.05...26 fps with the last beta patch...and now 29!!! with this beta, idk what they did to optimize it, but 3 fps IMO, is a great achievement for BIS, and for people like me (makes me very very happy).

    I haven't tried out the MP, or actual In game stuff yet, will in a little bit...but now I'm just so happy with the FPS :)...good job :)!!!

    With -exThreads=0 and -exThreads=3 the fps are about same.

    With -exThreads=1 the "FPS-STAT FPS" and "FPSmm" are lower.

    Benchmark 1 - there is no difference

    Benchmark 2 - -exThreads=0 gives the highest result and -exThreads=3 gives the lowest.

    Obeserved that the AI is still shooting on destroyed/burning vehicles, AI if shoot dead do need more time fall down, sometimes a dead body is flickering/"reincarnating" for a second, AI chatting is a bit delayed.

    It looks like the AI have some more hiccups with this beta build.

    Yeah, I have the same things with exThreads=0 and 3 on the 2nd benchmark...I get 9 with 3 and 11 with 0?

    Well, same ol same ol with the FPS, 25 without exThreads and 26 with exThreads=3...but overall I'm having less white flashes or w/e.

    Texture loading is still pretty bad, but overall...good improvement from the last patch (should be since it's been FOREVER since a patch =])...even though it's just the beta patch...the final patch should be really great...Good JOb BIS
