    Best OS for Arma server

    What software would I need to use the HC? I shall expand on the above as I am not very clear in what I am asking. To run HC I will need to have a separate PC from the one which I game on and I was wondering if this machine would run on Windows 7 or Windows server software?
  2. I have been enjoying Arma 3 for a while now and due to the limitations of my PC decided to build a server so that I can host on as the Ai eats up CPU resources. Currently using 40 to 50 Ai but wish to go to around 100 or more. My server is made up of desktop parts i7 2600k, 8gb of Corsair RAM, Samsung 840 Pro and a Asus P8H61 MB What do most people use for OS on their servers is my question I have looked and its either Windows server 2008 R2 or Linux from what I have read Linux has quite a few options and can be hard to set up any advice would be most appreciated.
  3. 20:54 EATONM62 Good day, I have been reading your replies on some of the threads in the BS forums to do with how Arma 3 uses a computers resources. I have a question that I would very much appreciate an answer to - I am currently running 2 Nvidia 780s in SLI along with a Intel i7 2600K and my frame rates drop to about 25 Fps when in a game with quite a bit of Ai 20:56 EATONM62 I makes up stuff in the editor and play on my own. I was wondering if a better processor would help with better frame rates such as a 6 core intel rather than the 4 core I am using currently. 21:09 Dwarden well it may help, but not as much 21:10 Dwarden Arma games are very hungry on IPC (instructions per clock) so the core which runs primary thread, needs as highest as possible frequency 21:10 Dwarden i always keep saying 4Ghz i5/i7 is needed but ofcourse not everyone can have that 21:11 Dwarden anyway if you observe performance drops 21:11 Dwarden best is wait for e.g. new update like upcoming 1.22 21:11 Dwarden then create repro mission where you demonstrate that there is too high FPS drop even with small amount o AI 21:11 Dwarden and post it on Arma 3 Feedback Tracker 21:11 Dwarden so QA can check it out 21:12 Dwarden key is make the repro simple, description simple and explanatory to boe 21:12 Dwarden bone 21:17 EATONM62 Thanks for taking the time to reply. My i7 is running 4.5Ghz at the moment. 21:18 Dwarden ye then it's more likely either bug or some scripting issue 21:18 Dwarden i suggest you always try that in the DEV branch 21:18 Dwarden to be sure the bug isn't already fixed 21:19 Dwarden sometimes fixes or new features take more than 1 patch to appear in STABLE 21:19 Dwarden so e.g. stuff in 1.19 DEV, is still in 1.21 DEV but it's not in 1.20 stable as it may get into 1.22 STABLE 21:19 Dwarden cause for w/e reason it wasn't deemed stable enough 21:22 EATONM62 I am going to try changing to the Dev version and re make my mission in the editor to see if it changes anything. I have played about with settings and it doesn't really help much. Also, I never got round to fully testing the Dev version.
