ArmA feedback thread - based on Beta Patch 1.16

[SaOk]

Thank you for this patch. Arma feels much better now even with 8800GTS on 64bit Vista - its lighter and save/load-games are much faster on heavy missions. And my graphics card havent "crashed and booted back" yet.

Arma server seems to use less cpu with 1.16b compared to 1.15b. No affinity allocation made...
1.15b used 25 % of our Quad-core where as 1.16b now uses around 15-19%.
It also seems to use 2nd core more than the others...

I've got a Missing IFC22.dll error message launching the Beta... anyone else ? I'm under vista 32 and updating from 1.14...

EDIT : Sorry, my bad. Found the solution. Thanks Cole.

I won't use a beta patch... I wait the official.

And about the feedback:
Didn't see any differance... But please if its going to be out soon at least make 1.08 FOV standard or at least adjustable form the options or something, or make and official addon like UNA Filed of View addon so we can choose from... Hate to say but 1.14 FOV or 1.09 had many problems, mostly of FPS nature...

It IS an official... BETA. Linguistic juggling doesn't make the fact that due to the large variety of mods testing in the wild is inevitable, go away...

I really don't understand all this complaining. The devs have already explained themselves more than they're obliged to: just ignoring their reasons is plain rude...

no it is NOT considered official, this is a beta. The official is 1.14 live with that. I NEVER use ANY addons for no reason I like the game as it is, go away...

IT says feedback and thats why I am giving it. With my PC I didn't see any differance, it runs a bith smoother but there is no improvement with the FPS thingy.

I only hope for an adjustable FOV this will only save the FPS on LOW-END machinery 1.08 was the best.

so far it looks good, something must be right, because it looks like i have a smaller loade on my cpu when playing, compared to 1.14 ( not mutch, but a bit there is )

Is there any chance of seeing the results with no addons?
