Multi-Threading is now here

[Dirk Verite]

Well it's here boys, Multithreading is coming to Arma. It's only in the beta form right now, but man it's changed the game...
I know arma up and down, and only now am I enjoying it to the max

Here is a vid of a single player run

Would've been real nice if you just recorded the clips with an FPS counter on

Please test it on a singleplayer mission with lots of AI, and vehicles.

Multiplayer isn't really indicative of the effect of multithreading since the processing is on the server-side anyway.

Do you need the development or the profiling build for it?

AI will likely still be running on a single thread.

@OP - your frames barely leave the 50s, is this something to celebrate? Your hardware came out ~10 years after ARMAIII launched. I assume you have no AI on the map either as there doesn't seem to be any indication.

This.

The game absolutely crumbles under the weight of itself any time you really try to have a mid-large scale war. They shouldn't make maps larger than Stratis until they sort it as it can only ever be small spots of AI here and there (unless you enjoy low, fluctuating frames).

I've been playing since Operation Flashpoint and it's the same old ♥♥♥♥. After 23 years I'd like to hope this is what we've been waiting for, but I'm pressing X to doubt.

Anyhow, I'm downloading. FYI it's supposed to be on the dev branch.

FWIW

Editor, creating a jet and taking off + flying it in the middle of the day. No AI (I need to find a decent mission for benchmarking)

Vanilla: ~130FPS (~100 when on ground)
Dev branch: ~250FPS (~140 when on ground)

Default settings with blur off and view distance to 12000, 1440p, RTX4080, 7800X3D, 64GB RAM, SSD

Dev for single player, profiling for multiplayer, for now

You have to use dynamic simulation. ArmA 3 is the first version of ArmA to include dynamic simulation.

Basically this puts units outside of set view distance to be simulated with nearly the same results.

I don't use that, the reason it's at 50fps, is because of my view and object distance
