    Low CPU utilization & Low FPS

    no - i mean in more detail. It was rather a rhetorical question of mine, I wanted to go deeper on that matter with an open mindset. because as I get it, its just always some kind of approximation to the real thing. But I have really no hardware technical insight. just an example what I think it works: lets say your CPU has 10 cycles or time frames to do something, and in 9 frames it does nothing, but then there comes this one task and the CPU is at 100%. Now you measure your CPU load and the measurement cannot measure every small frame, but lets say 10 frames. So it will tell you: cpu load is 10% - even if it was 100% at some time and 0% at some other time. so what basically is needed is some splitting of of tasks into several timing frames? because my cpu has a load of around 30% in ArmA. but when I overclock it, I have double fps and still only 30% load. so when Overclocked those little spikes that need 100% CPU are calculated much faster. But there are still those times when the CPU has idle time. right? so it is all about is it possible to split the calculations into several timing frames? And I always thought CPUs have several instructions, like integer operations, floating point, and some other special stuff (descrp. in CPU Manuals). So if we find out what operations / functions are mostly needed in ArmA we could rethink the code thats based for these cals? the problem is: what if we have 10 tasks and 10 timing frames. but every tasks needs the output of the task before him? so he mustz wait for that prior task, and only then can start its own task. Normally such complicated tasks and calculations are only for science stuff etc. but maybe herein lies armas problem: the AI? But then I dont udnerstand why we have even low fps in Multiplayer without AI? Bascially without looking deep at the code, and having also hardware udnerstatement we cant really tell whats the problem, and if it is even possible to "fix" it right?

    what does it mean if the CPU has 100%? what is exactly 100% what?

    Operation Fallen Star Coop 2-8p

    we played it as two people, took around 2 hours. actually to blow off the mike station was great - we didnt knew this was gonna happen ;) great mission. YOu should give the palyers a hint where to find explosives for the second target. we had no explosives guy so one of us had to leave the game, but later at mike station we found plenty. Would be nice to know that before. otherwise rgeat mission with some intense fights yes! http://www.abload.de/img/arma32013-03-1703-29-9wj86.jpg

    Terrain Improvement (dev branch)

    no I dont, and why should I if I get such a bad presentation anyway?
  9. is there an eta yet? or are we allowed to beta test it too?

    Terrain Improvement (dev branch)

    I did only see some texured mountains. no objects no nothing.and he didnt zoom in, could be very low res too.
  12. solution: compressor. /thread
  13. Joystick / Gamepad / TrackIR -> Analog Input device.
  14. the term dedicated means the server has no other task. so running a server.exe on a server that is running some intensive other task is not dedicated even if the server.exe is "dedicated blabla". And running ABC.exe on a home pc thats doing nothing else could count as dedicated though.

    Dedicated server - status

    is there an tutorial how to set up a game server? which windows to use which services to activate deactivate, system settings etc? The Problem is I have one server in my lsit that freeze every 20 seconds for about 150 ms. Its not the DEV build. On no other server with this mission I have this problem. The Ping is ~15 ms. SHould be no Problem either. Load was low 2 people. 120 AI (Headless Client) Any hints what could be the problem?

    High fps but stutters

    I only have it some or one server- its running the headless client. I turned Low and High settings didnt change at all. the whole game is freezed for 300ms every ~30 seconds. I am NOT on DEV Build. stable steam version here. its probably server related.
