Oh... my... goodness... If you weren't responding to his post, then you (a mod) were just coming in to crap in the thread, b/c the only other posts prior to his were "looks good". So, what was the point of coming into a random thread to bring negativity that (by your own admission) had nothing to do with the original post or any of its replies (a request for actual feedback on the work that was done)? Some of the mods here are half the reason I rarely bother with the forums anymore. That and the forum upgrades a few months ago seems to have wrecked my ability to easily follow subscribed threads by most recent update. @baermitumlaut was a little blunt, but his feedback was valid and thorough in my opinion. I can imagine that devs don't have the best initial reaction when the first line they read about their hard work is, "that is worse"... but, they are big kids, and the post had substance... *your* post on the other hand...

I haven't tried this demo yet, but I just wanted to toss this out... I always thought it would be cool to use the mouse scroll wheel as a way to incrementally and more precisely control a player's movement speed on the fly (scroll up to gradually increase the speed, down to decrease). Add a modifier to it (e.g. ctrl + scroll wheel) and it could also be used to adjust one's stance incrementally as well.

Do some of you really think bohemia, after all this time, would spend money creating a 64 bit executable if they didn't anticipate an actual benefit? And, no, asking "how much" or thinking there must be some intended performance improvement (for them to invest in it in the first place) doesn't mean people think it's going to be some magical super duper sauce, either. Too many folks around here have a habit of railroading discussion by creating a strawman to argue against any time someone brings up performance (or lack thereof). Personally, it's good to see them at least stating an intention to make a (potentially) more bold step with regards to performance. Though, given my impression of their track record on performance, I'll take a wait and see approach along with a lot of skepticism... peppered with a tiny amount of cautious optimism, given the very notable improvement dayZ gained when they dropped the first iteration of the renderer on that game. Though, none of that really speaks to networking issues that will likely still exist.

Gigabytes.

You have done an excellent job with this mod. I do have a question, though. I thought I saw a video of rappelling from buildings. Is that feature still WIP, or did I miss a setting somewhere?

Go to "My Documents" on your computer. Then, "Arma 3" (or, "Arma 3 - Other Profiles" and the folder that is the name of your current profile if you aren't using the default profile in Arma). You should see a file... for example, "isiahmora63.Arma3Profile". Open that with a text editor (i.e. notepad++). You can do a search within the document for "bootCampWarning=1". If it isn't there, add it somewhere on it's own line (but, not inbetween any block of code inside [], or {} brackets). Save the file. Launch Arma. bootCampWarning=1;

Getting this error when trying to view "content | follow": Also, got a similar, but shorter error when trying to view this thread: https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/184155-forums-migrationupdate-status-items/

Yep. Another thread reporting the same issue,here when I first noticed it a month or so ago. https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/191438-sql-errors/ Then went away... then started happening again yesterday.

Confirmed. same error to that link for me as well.

can we at least expect the buildings you can enter to be furnished at some point in the future?

Hopefully, they plan on furnishing the enter-able buildings... I was hoping the reason why everything wasn't going to be able to be entered was b/c what is, would be more "alive", and not just b/c rv can't handle the jungle landscape of tanoa without serious compromises. Time will tell...

Looks nice, overall. They actually have it where you can drag an entity from the left hand menu in the 3d editor now (for moving units over long distances). That was a pleasant surprise... Beyond that... Mid-range textures look like shit (as always). The framerate hit compared to Altis is for real. If it doesn't improve quite a bit (it's bohemia, so we already know not to expect much there) it's probably going to play like shit when you actually try to do something on it involving actual missions and such. On a i7 6700k and gtx 780 sc, w/ 16gb of ram at 3000mhz, I got as low as 35fps on an empty map in the woods. That's just 10 minutes of running around a few places. range was around 35-55fps on an empty map in that 10 minutes. probably on the order of 15-25 lower average fps compared to an empty altis on this rig.

I think the visual upgrade looks pretty good overall... New water reflections and such are nice, and there has been no noticeable performance impact for me... On YAAB, in fact (after it got updated today) I gained about 2 fps over the last patch. Same settings (except water turned up all the way with this patch). This on a 6700k, though, so ymmv. The main thing that sticks out at me so far, though... is lighter colors... the sandy, whiter terrains tend to be too washed out and lose detail in their texture as a result. If they did some work with the whiter shades, to bring some depth back into them and not have them look overexposed, I think it would add a lot more depth to the terrains and white altis buildings, in general.

I noticed that some of the AI in the campaign are speaking the wrong language. In the second episode of the campaign, as you come out of the woods, some of the enemy ai there had me confused at first, b/c I heard them speaking american english... I don't *think* it used to be that way...

I'm enjoying it so far. There is always a saturation slider for those who think it is too pale. I actually thought it looked too washed out from the recent screenshots on the dev branch. But, after playing the first two episodes of the campaign, it was pretty nice actually. Out in the open, there was plenty of color (in my subjective opinion) running at the default (100) saturation.

anyone have any recent screens (or point me in the direction of some)? I've seen some of the first screens and vids from the visual update. Was just curious if things have changed at all. While, it looked good initially, I thought things were a bit too washed out.

How goes the ALiVE indexing? (no pressure)

I have played a bit of the experimental branch of DayZ that has the very first iteration of the render module from the Enfusion engine... I've long been a skeptic that Bohemia will ever truly tackle the long-standing performance issues that they have... That said... even in its early state, the performance improvement is around 3-5x better than it was prior. Where I would get 12-20fps in large cities on that game, I now get around 45-70+ fps. Where I would get 40-60fps, I now get 60-140fps. All with higher settings. The improvement is undeniable. The main reason I even ever played dayz was b/c of this "mysterious" new engine they are building, which I thought would just end up being like the "brand new" RV4 engine... But, as I've read posts from the DayZ team, they seem to have been much more open about current engine shortcomings (ie sqf script) than the impression I get from Bohemia on this forum. I'm actually becoming optimistic about what the future may hold for arma 4 or something else... I always hoped they would have addressed the issues with arma 3 (before, during, or after release), but that's not going to happen. But... just to reiterate... .60 exp of DayZ has just the very first iteration of the render module from the new engine... and the improvement is unmistakable. I am now cautiously optimistic about the future of Bohemia.

Downloading now. Thanks so much for your hard work on this map. Very much looking forward to playing it. Do you have an ETA on ALiVE indexing by chance? Thanks, again.

Still been anxiously following your progress on this map. I hope you will index it for ALiVE.

I believe Dwarden said in the past that they are only looking into it on server side, with no immediate plans for a 64 bit client. -- @en3x yes. I actually watched a pretty interesting series of vids last night with Chris Roberts talking about how much of cry engine they've re-purposed, and what the foundational changes they are going back and making in order to (he claims) give full and proper support to new tech

I believe it to be a misconception that AI *causes* performance issues in Arma. Performance issues are just exacerbated by the introduction of AI b/c it has to wait in line like everything else. The Arma series outgrew its engine long ago. The average person has plenty of CPU power in reserve, but the engine can't make use of it... And, moving to DX12 (or Vulcan) won't solve those problems unless they make the low-level changes to the engine that would be needed to achieve the performance gains that dx12 and/or vulcan could offer... which, they almost definitely will not. And, they will either make dx12 "work" (b/c ceo said when, not if) but not with the work behind it to benefit performance... or they won't bother and will just say they didn't get the performance improvement so it wasn't worth it (b/c they won't be willing to do the engine work necessary for RV). I would be pleasantly surprised if proven wrong.

They have stated there is no microtransactions, p2p, p2w, etc... It is buy to play, but they do plan on releasing dlc/expansions as well. I just discovered this game today. was reading on it for several hours. Looks interesting. The gameplay mechanics that I've seen, and the gunplay seem really attractive to me. Scrolling mouse wheel to have fine control over movement speed and stance height, for example, sounds promising.

Quick question. I play on an ace enabled server and use the incremental door open/close feature. However, on my own mission that I am making, the feature doesn't seem to work. I just hear a click sound when I press CTRL + SPACE (and nothing happens when scrolling mouse wheel). Is there a module setting that I have neglected by chance? edit: Never mind. It appears to be an issue with doors on Kunduz.

Looking great. This and Diyala are two maps that I am most looking forward to.
