Beta 1.04.60000 - BEST EVER!

[pchaxor]

4+ Hours Straight in Domination on the 15th MEU Server.
Best game I have ever played. No crashes and nothing but smoothness all the way.
Frame rates steady at 30-40fps in helo flight. I set most options on Normal, some on low and no post processing or AA. (video card limits)
This one seems extremely stable on my rig.

Thanks a ton for this new beta!!!!
I have never got a game to run this good until tonight.

WOW! KICK A$$ BIS!

Lucky you.

I have to roll back to 59928 (after my testings are done). Got some horrible stutters (not bad FPS!), but weird stutter even though FPS is really good.

EDIT:
No rollback here. Problem is windowed mode wich makes the beta stutter. Switched to fullscreen and the stutter is gone.

if you look at the changelog closely, you will se that the only noted change ist build 59988, so there is enough space for performance tweaks to build 60000.

Runs good for me since the new streaming change (window mode at Windows7 gives me 5 fps more, too). Why didnt they release now? I guess at least here in germany it would have been become much more successfull. Most ratings were about 50% or 5/10

I'm running very good with this patch as usual

Also it may be wise to download gamebooster and defrag ur Bohemia\ARMA 2 folder with it after installing a new beta. I do this and the game runs perfect everytime i install a beta or new patch.
When i didn't i did get slight stutter one time but a defrag with gamebooster soon fixed it

Hi all

Since Beta 1.04.60000 Chernogorsk is now playable. Before they should have renamed it stutter city.

Now it is as smooth as silk.

BIG GRIN

Kind Regards walker

I am curious about what they changed in this build. Perhaps some Windows 7 optimizations? We all on Win7?
It seems as if Vram is more fluid or something was fixed with the video ram or perhaps I am imagining it?
I usually get a nasty Nvidia driver ctd or graphical vomit, complaining that a dll took a dump, but it all seems good now.
I wish there was a better way to monitor vram. (since my card only has 512mb)

Changelog entries for 59989 - 60000 are missing, so perhaps it is top secret? lol

Edit:
I have read that the new beta does actually detect vram properly now.
Is it wise to delete or rename the arma.cfg file or does the beta overwrite it?
I guess I can look when I get home if nobody knows.

Hi all

Liking this beta a lot. BIG FPS improvment over all and no problems in citys anymore.

Kind Regards walker
