Online some servers i'm getting 20-30fps on low, stay clear of any 30/40 max player games!

 

[Murray]

Downloading now. Really excited

 

[lurkio]

So , Do I buy a copy for our dedicated server , or will that not work ?

 

[MarkeR]

No don't...

Set up steam on your ded.

Install arma iii.

The set steam to offline mode, and use the switch -server in your start up line for the server version.

Install arma iii = copy the files from my machine onto dedi ?

So our first 5 minutes went like this: ......GRENADE! BOOM> sorry guys.. they made G grenade!

Attempt two... DAMN! GRENADE!!!!!!!!! sorry again guys...

Attempt three... Ok guys I is inventory. G is grenade. Got it. ok........ GRENADE! DAmn damn sorry sorry this is just getting silly.

I'll probably rebind grenade to something else

It asked for 7 gig or so when I installed. It'll be tons more for the full actual game I reckon

Size on disk with compression 6.74 GB (7,240,128,791 bytes)

Install steam on ded. Then set it to offline mode.

yep got that sorted , now do it copy my arma3 folder from my machine onto dedi ?

 

[Xcept1]

Defo not control over dedi servers at the minute. Having to host on my own computer to put password on. If you want to join us, we are playing some custom missions already.

im going to cry I cant play it on me

Q6700
ATI 4890 1GB
4GB ram

With every thing off or on low etc I get 20FPS sometimes more but meh I am gutted I will tweak till I get a decent FPS then start reporting bugs but so so gutted.

Whats the safe temp for a q6700 may try overclocking it?

 

[silversurfer]

First suspect is the cpu then memory then the gpu, because they usually let the graphics settings go very low. I ran arrowhead on a 128mb nv6800, did ok fps at 320x240

conroe I ran at 80c for years. 85 and it'll throttle, etc

Seems very CPU limited.
Absolutely maxed - 56-60% on each GPU (SLI 570s)

Running a 2600k at 4.8ghz with no Hyperthreading (Will try with hyperthreading later)

 

[Tibbz2]

At least you can download mate..

Still waiting for bis to get the supporters edition sorted....

Not yet I can't. Don't have the money!

 

[roadie]

I don't like my CPU over 65, but that's a personal thing...

Looking forward to testing out the Alpha on my rig. Had the download coming in whilst I popped to the library to get some work done. Otherwise I wouldn't have done a thing!

 

[MarkeR]

yep got that sorted , now do it copy my arma3 folder from my machine onto dedi ?

Download it from steam and use -server in your startup line...

This is what I have been told to do in the forums..

Arma 2 was pretty cpu limited was it not ?

unless you ran at hyper resolutions

 

[Buckster]

btw - since my 480 is off for repair - about to try Arma 3 on 4890

so soon will find out if CPU or GPU limited lol
