Whats the best way to maximise the memory usage? In the last beta I tried a few things but it never really used more than 1.5~GB.

Thank you BIS for these performance patches

Yes, how does this Beta influence the startup parameter -maxMem=2048?

Does any value higher then then 2048 is accepted?

Getting tired of performance patches. If people dont have good enough PC`s to run the game, dont run it. For us who already have a good PC wants something else then just performance patches!

I have a good PC (i7 920 o/c to 3.7, 6GB ram, 5870) and I welcome all performance patches.

ARMA2 needs a lot of performance patches imo, this is one if its largest criticisms.

I have a decent PC (Quad Core @ 3.85Ghz, 4GB DDR2, GTX275 SLI, Win7 64bit) and I get 22-24 fps in the campaign, in the editor when looking at a town I get around 30 (High settings).

So I do think performance needs to be optimised, especially with Arrowhead coming next week.

And I'm getting tired of people acting retarded on this forum... but you don't see me asking them to go and leave now do you?

Improving performance is a priority for BIS because it effects the most amount of people (pretty much everyone). In addition, this particular improvement is something that it would have needed to be done eventually anyway, with everyone switching to 64bit OS's and larger amounts of RAM.

This patch should not only improve performance but also stability.

For what you want patches then? If not to improve the game in general?
Also the beta already fixes alot of issues, you can keep track in the changelog.

Hahahaha. Is this a serious post?

I guess this just goes to show that some people will complain about anything, no matter how ridiculous...
