New Beta Build 70951 is up!

[Yoma]

Yoma, honestly it's not worth investigating HT. I spent 2 months benchmarking, testing, and overclocking my rig and worked with a few enegineers on the best timings and properties. Hyperthreading puts too much strain on quad core processors and is universally been shown to hurt gaming performance. It has two main features - marketing and some desktop applications benefit.

The only reason i'm asking this is because some users have a locked bios where it simply cannot be disabled... (I know it sucks allready, but as I had reports on it being a lot less of an issue using cpucount=4 it may be usefull for some people to see the difference)
I can't test it as i don't have the hardware :P

^^I tested so far with HT off (with no cpu limiter param to clarify), and also HT on with -CpuCount=4 (wich i run now) and to me its all the same. Heat, FPS and rest when it comes to A2. At least on my PC so if a cpu is in fact bios locked then use the startup parameter -CpuCount=4 and you should be good.

Don't know if this was already mentioned but with this new build the 2 sights for the G36 in single and full mode are gone again

There is still a memory leak somewhere like the last beta. After playing for 20 min I crashed out again.

BIS I will say one great thing about the beta's is the -exthreads. This has made the game so much more enjoyable now that the texture popping is exterminated with =3. To me with setup this is the greatest thing yet. The game may stutter here and there as it loads stuff from my HD, but game killing texture popping from standard 1.05 is dead. Thanks.

Does anyone have a problem with latest dedicated beta server? It just hangs on mission loading and does nothing. If you close its window, it still hangs in process list. I've tried different missions and completely without mods. Everytime same story.

Edit: nevermind. I guess, I did something and it started to work... don't know actually what was the problem. I just added -exThreads=3 -CpuCount=2 in command line

I lost my ca_ah64D.pbo installing this. Never had any beta problems before though. FPS is up but still nowhere where it was back in 1.01.

Having problem with ACE US ARMY soldier and last two Beta patches

soldiers missing body parts.

doesn't happen with patch 105

anyone no the cause

happens with Bink 2008 US soldiers also (same soldiers as in ace)

is this a problem with this addon or the patch

Update BWMod to version 1.7.

After playing some more MP with build 70951 (-exThreads=0) my conclusion is that 1.05 final still have the upper hand when it comes to general performance/texture loading/LOD switching on my specific computer.

That being said I love some of the other fixes, especially the sounds not cutting out (as much) when lots of sound sources are within range!

And to add what KeyCat wrote...

I had multiple crashes while playing with the latest beta patch(es).

Switched back to 63826 and beside better performance no crashes anymore.

Performance-wise, I cannot judge about decreasing or increasing, because I OCed my CPU and GPU during the last betas.

About crashes, I didn´t have one a with the latest betas. I played some Coops, Dom- and WF-missions with 1.05.70951 (playtime 2-4 hours for each mission) the last days and didn´t have a single crash.
The dedicated servers where I played were running on 1.05 official.
