Extreme Desync since 1.58

[El Loco Sodium 10]

We have extreme desyncs on our Arma 3 Lakeside server since the last update. We tried to fix it by using different performance versions and changed our Basic.cfg but nothing seems to help. Our server FPS and CPS are both constantly between 43-45 and we also have 3 other Arma 3 Server running on the same root but without many players on it. I would really appreciate some help.

 

Our current Basic.cfg:

MaxMsgSend = 5120;

MaxSizeGuaranteed = 5120;

MaxSizeNonguaranteed = 256;

MinBandwidth = 1310720;

MaxBandwidth = 2097152000;

MinErrorToSend = 2;

MinErrorToSendNear = 3;

MaxCustomFileSize = 1310720;

class sockets{maxPacketSize = 1400;};

adapter=-1;

3D_Performance=1;

Resolution_W=0;

Resolution_H=0;

Resolution_Bpp=32;

terrainGrid=25;

viewDistance=2000;

Windowed=0;

 

Our Server specs:

Windows Server 2012 R2

Intel Xeon E5-1650 v2 @ 3.50GHz

64GB RAM

2x 240GB SSD

MinErrorToSend = 2;
MinErrorToSendNear = 3;
MaxMsgSend = 5120;
MaxSizeGuaranteed = 5120;

 

Those are extreme values

 

They should be more inline with these values

This is what we use (And the default values)

 

MaxMsgSend=768;  // Default 128

MaxSizeGuaranteed=800; // Default 512

MaxSizeNonguaranteed=400; // Default 256

MinErrorToSendNear=0.04;  // Default 0.01

MinErrorToSend=0.004 // Default 0.001

 

Logic you should be using

Patch 1.58 fubarred our game

So initially DO NOT EDIT any server settings that was running stable before the patch, there must be another reason for this issue.

 

Having said that, your bandwidth settings are IMHO well out on the extreme edges.

 

This is the best information I have ever found on the subject

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA:_Tweaking_Tips

It was taken from a website which explained things a bit more in depth but sadly is no longer available

 

If you approach B.I on this issue, all you get from them is "This has already been explained in full". The fact that not 1 Admin understands these settings would tell you that B.I's explanation isn't clear enough. However after 10 + years of prompting them for a detailed explanation, most of us have simply given up on ever getting a full and detailed explanation
