Brian Soanes Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 I have over 60 players on my Altis server atm, this is what's being reported in the last 10 minutes, I fear it's only going to get worse Graphical gltiches Lag Desync FPS issues [2015-07-17 | 13:54:28] (Side) ldz1982: WHAT THE FU**IN LAGS???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? [2015-07-17 | 13:58:38] (Side) Netnix: character is robo dancing [2015-07-17 | 13:59:47] (Side) Netnix: too much lagg This is in addition to the white smoke cfg error popup, the lack of sea, wind and ambient sounds. Server is running fine, infact better than ever with over 20fps, no network overload, no rpt errors, also have simulation to true in epochconfig.hpp. None of these errors were happening on 1.46/0.3.0.3 and 1.48/0.3.0.3 speaR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vbawol Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 I think the part you are missing is that you are testing it, lets not forget that if you run a server you are testers and Epoch is still in Alpha. As far as testing experimental we have had 0.3.0.4 test servers open to the public for everyone to test well before release and as a result we caught many bugs with Epoch and Arma 3 that did get in fact get fixed before both releases. We welcome more people to get in and test the experimental branch, please join us next time. If you have not already tested this, re-enable our vehicle simulation handler and that will be just like it was in 0.3.0.3. The issue you might be seeing if you have this disabled is that Arma 3 netcode still cannot handle the sheer number of players, vehicles, and objects you are running. Our vehicle simulation handler does work around some of the client fps issues at the cost of server fps and I would say that these issues with glitching need to be consolidated and reported to BI as most of the reports seem to be related to Arma and not Epoch. If you truly think these "gltich" issues are Epoch only issues and not Arma then please reproduce this on a clean epoch server that I can join. mgm, Axle and Nic 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySanchez Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Hey awol,Yesterday through this morning I was running 0.3.0.4 and 1.48 with simulation handler = true and players were still getting the issues.I ran a restart with just vanilla and these issues were still reported.I reverted to 0.3.0.3b9 and am still running 1.48.So far I had this setup yesterday for a short while and all was good.Today, its been about an hour or so and still all is good.I will continue to monitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Soanes Posted July 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 re-enable our vehicle simulation handler also have simulation to true in epochconfig.hpp. We welcome more people to get in test the experimental branch, please join us next time. I wish I had the time to "play", my time is spent almost entirely in getting my server to run at a performance level that is acceptable. I'm not knocking your mod Aaron, i'm just saying that it sucks that when you add players these things come to light, and those of us who try and give our players the best experience end up with egg on our faces. People just cba to be switching between Arma RC builds and different builds of Epoch to test, hence the low pop on test servers. second_coming and happydayz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbawol Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Sometimes there is no better way of finding out what is truly broken than throwing it out to the masses. Its not ideal that we updated at the same time as Arma either, as some issues are with Arma and are just now surfacing because "People just cba to be switching" as you say. Arma must be updating there graphics core as its been more glitchy than normal the last few patches. That said we simply need people to report there issues one per topic unless another topic already exists. this way I can get a consensus on what the pressing issues are and either fix them or report them to BI.

Chainsaw Squirrel Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 I figured out a fix , for the player .. once you get the graphical glitches .. and low fps my case 4-15 fps .. logging out of the game will not fix . I did find out one thing by experimenting .. once you get the issue .. low fps.. log out clear out your mpmission cache in my documents arma 3 folder and under C:\Users\Name\AppData\Local\Arma 3\MPMissionsCache and del the trash and issue is gone.. at least until the next time. Not perfect but makes game playable again until perm fix can be found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chainsaw Squirrel Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 OK I think we have found a common denominator .. Video GPU Brands.. seems as only Nvidia users are seeing the bulk of the issues ,and not AMD GPU users .. sapper are all off and still had the issue when a AI spawned in .. on Altis.. and yes the video drivers are current Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnny26501 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 nvidia user, the same problem, lows fps amd users without problems on my server 0.3.0.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umfufu Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Iam starting to think its more a Arma3 ~1.48 dissaster , coz with 1.46 and Epoch 0304.2 all seems to work (several restarts and np probs) Rain starts at 0 and when overcast is over 0.75 the rain counter adds up ,with rain at >0.25 realy stays at steady drops Sappers they spawn and we dont have glitches (zombie script on all ok) , with Arma3 ~1.48 its like the old barbwire dayzmod graphspikes (zombie script on wich then spike or only floating heads and not seen a Supersapper) Only thing with A3 ~ 1.48&epoch-0304.2 is the goats walk/eat didnt test it with epoch-0303 but who cares And with the A3 -1.46 no FPS drops in time Well we just wait till Bis fixes it , just like the crashes with 146.131.175 so its back to the beach worries for later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
