I have searched the forums to see if anyone has started a thread on this subject but I have not been able to find one, so I apologize if this subject has already been discussed. I have been playing DayZ and Arma for a long time now. After becoming very interested in the development of the game I started researching the creators of DayZ. Dean Hall says quite often that building a portfolio is one of the best things a game developer can do. I'd like to start with learning how to mod Arma and I have a simple idea for a skill system I'd like to try and work on. Could anyone tell me what I'd need to learn or focus on to begin a project like this? I wanted to keep it short and sweet, directly to the point. Thanks for the read.

We need to create a petition of some sort to let the developers know we want a performance optimization patch! They recently released a patch that was mostly pure cosmetics and it causes more errors than it fixed! We don't care about the size of the missiles in the cheetah, fix our FPS. I am running a $1,200 computer and I'm lucky to pull 30-40 fps. I've played with people who have titans in 3 way sli and barely get more than me, or the guy with one titan and gets more than the guy with 3 titans. Every player I have asked about this proclaims one thing, this game still feels like it is in the alpha stages. When I seen a patch for Arma 3 I cannot tell you how excited I got, then I read the patch notes and I seen you guys didn't do one thing to increase our FPS. We all paid good money for a game that is supposed to be finished, this is the problem when a company is allowed to make money off an alpha version or even a beta version for that matter. Bohemia Interactive was very well-paid for a very unfinished game, it is time you guys finish it and stop caring about cosmetic fixes for vehicles and what not, we want a real patch that has a real benefit. I monitor the usage of my cpu and gpu and the game only utilizes 80% for about 5 minutes then it will drop down to 40-50% yielding only half the amount of FPS. If Bohemia Interactive could hotfix the resource usage to a higher % I feel this would greatly improve the performance of the game. I just provided a route to try to fix the problem, please Bohemia Interactive, try to find a solution to this. We love Arma 3, there is no other competitors in the same league as Arma 3, give us the same love that we give you. If you agree Bohemia Interactive should produce a performance optimization patch, simply say, Aye. -Aye

This game is so poorly optimized, are they ever going to release a performance optimization patch? I'm running a $1200 rig and the game barely pulls 30-40fps in every MP server I go on. What are you guys doing over in the studios?! We need to start a petition, every person I speak with agrees this game still feels like its in the alpha stages!

This is pretty lame, I came here to ask about optimization and I have to jump through loops...
