The link below is the dropbox of Arma 3 Developer David Foltyn and it is used to stage test builds for Arma 3. Most of the time the perf builds can be run server side to test these fixes. I will try to update this thread from time to time when a new build is posted.   https://www.dropbox.com/sh/582opsto4mmr8d8/3BSy9PdRGm   You can also follow David on twitter for more up to date information: https://twitter.com/foltynd   Posted today:

Yeah I agree! If optimization of code means gutting the shit out of EpochMod then yeah we have done that for sure.
 
Let's face it there is so much that EpochDev spend time on creating content that needs to be cut out of the Mod if your server reaches over 30 players.
If you rent a managed server from a GSP, which means you won't have access to CPU control, then may your god/deity help you!
 
I think if you need to be so frugal as to attempt to salvage every single +FPS out of the Mod at this early stage of Dev then there is seriously something wrong here.

NA in A3

Is there a way of making it persistent? I was thinking of adding not special/armoured vehicles, but bringing back the Vehicle Trader like A2.
 
Thus removing the massive amounts of wild spawn vehicles all over the map, and giving the playuer base something to spend their cash on instead of stock piling Krypto and hoarding items in storage.

Very cool thank you!  B)

Back up now though!  :lol: Sucker punched in the nuts....never again..never again

Runs fine, needs
 
!"HandleDamage" on addEventHandler in scripts.txt
 
and
 
!="halvwtd"
 
in setvariable.txt

Soo Constructive  :huh:

search bar....good place to start.

Yeah.  I am sorry about that, but anyone who knows me, from the OpenDayZ forums, knows that I have a hard time ignoring that type of attitude.

Had a play with not using ht last night and it doesn't make a huge difference but def drops 4 frames when disabling the HT 1,3,5,7.

I've currently got 289 vehicles live on the server and 3851 Epoch buildables with 0.2.5.2 I was up to 400 vehicles and 12000 buildables and was still getting 40fps on the server with 30-40 people online.
 
I've been monitoring the server tonight and am struggling to stay at 20-25fps with 25 players online and probably 90% of the scripts I have running were also running on 0.2.5.2
 
 
Personally I think its the Arma update that's buggered everything up. I get quite a lot of network communication errors between the server and HC  in the logs.

Just to chime in, we've been seeing around 11-14 Server FPS @ 92 players running stock epoch with just a few tweaks and no missions. The server at that point is utilizing approx 85-90% of resources. This is on a < week old hive with default or lower limits. It would seem 80 players is the sweet spot, with 17-20 Server FPS. Under 60 players we run FuMS HC and see between 18-20 FPS at peak before removing missions for the night. At 40-50 players with no missions on a fresh reboot the FPS is in the low 40s and after 2+ hours, in the mid 30s.
 
We use hyperthreading. 
 
Hardware
Xeon E3-1271v3
32 GB RAM
240GB  SSD
 
In our experience, the biggest issue with epoch is not its out of the box performance, but rather its performance two weeks down the road when database objects reach critical mass. A switch to MYSQL from Redis would be a major step in the right direction.
 
We are also looking into separating @epochhive and scripts therein to HC instances which we believe would significantly improve performance by allowing for a better distribution of server resources.

It is no one else's responsibility to hold your hand through the installation of these addons. I have seen posts from Richie all over this forum, helping out where he can, and offering advice to people in need of it. Your inability to successfully implement this addon is not anyone's fault but your own. You tell Richie that "Guys like [him] make [you] sick." Well, it is the falsely entitled, lazy, ignorant "server administrators" like you, who make me sick, and who make the creators of addons question whether they should release their work publicly or not, knowing they will have to filter through countless posts from "administrators" like you, just to get to the posts from people who have legitimate issues and deserve the help.

I am following, with interest :)

KOTH is a completely different mod though, their server fps is not relevant to Epoch.
 
 
I still think my above comment is correct.

As it stands now I seriously think there is no point in having anything over a 50 slot server. As soon as you get 40 players on a server even with the mod cut to the bone server performance is still beyond an issue it's a game breaker. 

RIP Epoch  :unsure:

Ex 1:

+1 Then we spend the time between builds getting it to run better

That´s not the way we want to play and thats not the goal for what we spend so much time and money..
