Yea, i hear this a lot which confuses me cause the guns do go in an order, largest to smallest. The idea was you would have an easy start and a hard finish instead of the other way around. Do you mean just no minimap at all or the option to hide it? Because you can hide all parts of the ui if they are in ur way. The idea for the minimap was to show enemy blips and stop camping. Not saying no to either suggestion, just explaining the thought process behind the way they are now.

Saw a 'fix' on steam community guides that has nothing but good comments so I thought I'd share it here. Go into your launcher and set 'system memory limit' to 2047. Do that in your launcher and apparently the FPS bug goes away. Someone try this and comment back how it goes? Steam guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=873148537

Yea that is true, they do have a db cluster for something though.

Well there you go then. https://obsproject.com/download This is what I run but my pc can handle it. Only downside is the file size racks up quickly but it looks good tho Should note, ^ at 60fps

We put up a few Blackwake servers late last week and they have been doing crazy good: With all these players, there has to be some funny screenshots or videos laying around. If you have any post them here, I'll start us off.

I was spelling out the letters

I think it has been discussed, not sure what the outcome was tho. personally I'm not sure its worth it. They aren't the cheapest servers to host ($160ish a month for 100slots), it would be on a shared host (on a dedicated server that has loads of other game servers on it) and there is no reason for players to choose our server over the next one cause they all the same. At least thats how i think it all goes, I know some communities have 'custom' builds but I'm not sure how they go about getting those.

I use OBS Studio. U can edit the output settings to whats best for ur pc, but obviously the less load on ur cpu the lower the video quality.

as long as we dont lose stratis D:

Welp, I'm getting banned

Altis Life v5.7.1362 Release Date: 01/03/2017 Size: 18,961KB Notes: You may need to restart Arma 3 to download the mission file Items marked with * have a related segment under “Details” Change Log: Modified - Finished headless client trial* Modified - Several remote executions to the server Details: Finished headless client trial: Last week we implemented a headless client as a trial to see how it would impact server performance. Despite server crashes still happening, overall performance has improved and therefore we will continue to use the headless client. Server crashes: Yesterday we released a SITREP discussing server crashes. If you haven’t seen it yet you can find it here: Report all bugs via the in game bug tracker. If you have a suggestion, please send it to @Envy. Thanks for playing StrayaGaming Altis Life!

Hello, I just want to give a short sitrep on what the go is with the Altis Life server freezing/crashing as often as it does. What we know: From what we have recorded over the last few days, the server freezes between 20 and 80 players. It involves failing to send network messages and swift build up of allocated memory. Sometimes (although very rarely) it can recover from a freeze, however it will usually crash for using up all allocated resources. What we have tried so far: Completely reworked most network based ingame systems to lower the number of messages sent as much as possible (wanted list, gangs and auction house just to name a few). Added support and started using a headless client. The headless client takes a load off the server by doing all database related tasks and runs server based processes (eg: cleanup loop, missions, etc). By doing this we ensure the server can focus on doing what it needs do, instead of spending time on all the things we add on top. Trialed allowing extra memory to be used by the server, but it just made the server take longer to crash after it froze. Trialed custom memory allocators. The crashes were still happening so we reverted back to the original malloc. Running performance server binaries. This means we are a step above the main branch server executable with loads of stability improvements and memory leak fixes, while still remaining playable by main branch clients. What our options are from here: Continue to rework more systems (eg: house crates, dropped items, etc) until we have reworked everything. Sit tight until 64-bit is released and hope it fixes all our problems. Move the server onto a clean host and experiment with that to see if things change. Something you could do while we work this out is update your arma 3 client to the latest performance binary. It may not help at all however if we all try to keep as up to date as possible it could make a difference. Simply download the performance client zip, drag the exe out of the zip, rename it to arma3.exe and replace the arma3.exe in your arma 3 directory with it. The binaries linked above are released by dwarden, a developer at Bohemia Interactive. I understand this is frustrating for everyone who is involved with Altis Life, but if we can all be patient and soldier on for a little bit longer, we will have this fixed up. Regards, Connor

Every update brings in new optimizations. You can get some of those optimizations long before the next stable release if you keep up with dwardens perf binary thread on the BI forums. The game is far more optimized now than it was on release, but 64bit obviously hasn't been seen as a worthwhile way to spend their time up till mid-late last year.

I was moreso pointing out the fact there have been 9 major updates so far.

... ? Also btw, 64bit comes out in the next few weeks on main branch.

They have spent months putting together a 64bit executable... to me that's a pretty big jump? My specs and settings: i7 6700k @ 4.0GHz, 16GB ram, GTX 970 https://puu.sh/uli4J/0160326476.jpg https://puu.sh/uli2F/2330f99b46.jpg https://puu.sh/ulhZo/f9fd5148ac.jpg

The headless client is designed to take stress off the server by doing things the server would normally do (eg: database queries). Our hope is this will improve server performance and maybe even stop the server from freezing. Please keep in mind this updates is released as a trial, so there may be a mistake here or there. What is most important during this trial is how the server performs now that there is a weight off its shoulders. Report all bugs via the in game bug tracker.

It turns out the way we do it is actually terrain smoothing,. This means only the land around you is in its actual form, while land further away from you is flattened out making it easier on the game. This results in objects that appear to be floating at a long distance, particularly over hill tops. We have added 3 options to the settings menu so you can alter these settings. The options range from our default (smooth) to the highest detail arma will allow (bumpy). Hop in game and have a read of the description for each option to choose what is best for you.
