I saw that arma 4 was confirmed and then an article saying that there is no Arma 4 and will not be for years....Does BI have plans to create or upgrade their current engine to utilize modern proc's?

thank you.

Is there a release date or more information for "enfusion"?

Is there a new engine in the works? and by new I mean NEW,a ground up build that can really utilize multi-core CPU's. thnx for any links or info.

thank you for this information it's very encouraging to hear that you are making a new engine :):) I was working on a project that involved many large structures using in-game objects so there would no mod to download, however performance issues made me stop :( there were to be several of these types of castles of different sizes and shapes over the map but just one of them (like in the picture) crippled the server :(, I really hope there is an A4 in the furture using the new engine.

do you think a 4 engine bomber fly's better on just 2 of the engines? maximum speed will be obtained when all 4 engines are working. Are you saying the RV engine use's Distributed algorithm What a game engine is doing is irrelevant when you find out it is not effectively using all available resource (cores) . "Evolution according to Amdahl's law of the theoretical speedup in latency of the execution of a program in function of the number of processors executing it, for different values of p. The speedup is limited by the serial part of the program. For example, if 95% of the program can be parallelized, the theoretical maximum speedup using parallel computing would be 20 times." Thnx for the responses I got the answer I was looking for, no need for further discussion.

this is what i had in mind, if the promises match the hype of course. http://blog.maxplay.io/ncore-all-your-cores-are-belong-to-us

thnx for the response, how does BI plan to bring out future games when they have hit a wall or very soon will with the current engine... :( you would figure that 3 years after the release of A3 and all the subsequent problems revolving around performance or lack there of that they have at least a road map for the replacement of the current engine...

what new engine?

^^^^^this.

I posted this in the wrong place originally I have picked up on an old project I was working on from over a year ago and was reminded that in one of the patches a problem for me cropped up when it came to placing platforms high in the sky (1600m) and having people spawn on those platforms, it worked fine until one patch made it so any soldier spawning on said platform (over 100m in the air) was stuck forever skydiving on the platform unable to stand. does anyone know of a way to correct this so I can spawn people on those platforms? thnx

the i3 is excellent bang for buck on a low end build. look at the game comparisons. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1197?vs=288

I brought this up 2 years ago but it was dismissed as "middleware"...but unless BIS is writing a whole new engine from scratch perhaps it is time to rethink this course. http://www.texasmulticoretechnologies.com/technology/sequenceL/

this is what we want to sit next to while we are playing arma.....lol

unless the core of the engine has been gutted and written in some useful form of parallelization then the answer is no, it will suffer the same lack of ability to truly harness multi core CPU's

I remember during the alpha I booted my PC to run only one core and then I started the Arma3 server and loaded a mission i had made and it loaded fine until the AI spawned then it crashed, at its heart Arma is an old engine that was not coded for multicore and until there is a fundamental rewrite nothing will change and they will continue to rob peter to pay Paul. :(

you have to have Quad SLI 980's to run Aram3 ;) :eek: http://i.imgur.com/wuAwAiO.png (719 kB)

Next Gen? that would be a game engine that could fully utilize the power of modern multi core proc's, the rest is just details.

almost a year ago I started messing around with all the objects in the game and found myself building castle....well worked stopped about 6 moths ago but I have just started work again....I am not sure what i will do with this when i am done but it keeps getting bigger :) http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/432658543219987808/887CF4F9525A685A3ABFF8E5BC454DC331816031/ http://cloud-3.steampowered.com/ugc/432658543219985062/FB4E07684FABFE4CE6B719680D13EDE88C4FC580/ http://cloud-3.steampowered.com/ugc/432658543219979513/ADBD75A9E4FE5D37C65FA17757DDFEF1D2BADF2D/ http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/432658543219974882/9A12FBA47B976AD823E9E4F6143DACB1B842B955/

its crapshoot with the AI sometimes they walk around an object sometimes they walk through...mostly when their in the air (upper level of castle) do they walk through objects or off ledges, real players have no problems really. Presently what you saw in the pics contains almost 13 thousand objects :eek: . I put 5v5 AI battle and my FPS tanked into the teens :( So I think it will only be useful for PvP.

played the beta...the whole BF franchise for me has devolved into "same crap different map" when it hits $25 i might pick it :)

sweeeeeet!

umm no ..not wrong, i am running at 4.2ghz my game is on an SSD i have 8gb of ram on win7 64bit running at 1080x1920 with shadows,PiP,ATOC off with AA at 4X :) if you need i will provide a screen shot :)

true, but he was asking about AMD cpu and his last comment said $200 not $300 :) now if all i had was $200 to spend i would go this route http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116775 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=13-157-303&Tpk=N82E16813157303 but i think the OP needs to chime in and tell us exactly what he wants todo.
