Dear BI Studio,
I would like to take a moment of your time by explaining my only two problem's with the game so far.
Optimisation:
First of all, I would like to ask why you chose to only allow the game to use "ONE" core of my CPU, and why the game runs at 25FPS online (If I am lucky) And 58FPS offline. At first I thought this game is intense, it needs my power to run it; Then I soon found out that was not the case at all. The game was using 15% of my graphics card and 11% of my CPU, and I was only getting a crappy (22FPS) with increasing lag spikes. Now I noticed how the game's performance varies on the server and how optimised it is, but that shouldn't be how the game's performance functions at all.
I then did some research as to why my game was doing this and I found out that the game was running with 'Client Based Rendering' And this was to substitute for the powerful servers, well.... It would be a good Idea if it actually worked as well as you thought it did.
So then I asked my friend to buy ArmA 3 and try it out knowing that he has a TOP-SPEC gaming PC worth (£6,000+) and knows practically everything about computers and some knowledge of programming. And much to my surprise, he enters a server with a petty 42FPS at MOST! This was absolutely stupid, why would anyone want to even play a game that not only runs like crap, but is only capable of using 'One core'? Basic optimisation is an absolute MUST in this game because I don't know any other game (from 2010) that uses any less than 'Two cores' other than the ArmA series.
Adding these simple and basic abilities to the game would be amazing as I absolutely love the game, it's just let down by simple yet annoying things.
Desync:
Although not ALL servers have it bad, it's always there. From servers that are 10ms ping to servers with 100ms+ ping; Desync is always present.
I don't know much about desync, but I know it's VERY annoying. Any sort of effort to prevent this would be a great thing to do after the optimisation of course.
Thanks for your time and I really do hope you take an effort into dealing with these two important dilemma's,
Brandon - ArmA 3 Gamer.
