Definitive launch parameters, devs please confirm

[deebz1234 243]

So in the arma3 world, most of the launch parameters have become placebo.

 

DayZ being independent but similar to arma 3 in some ways, has a lot of talk about launch parameters and cfg file edits, etc.

 

can you devs please confirm what launch params actually do anything?

 

Ive been doing a ton of testing and different system configs trying to find a sure fire logic to all this (HT on, HT off, no launch params, cpuCount=xx, etc)

 

-enableHT= (i dont think its implemeneted)

-cpuCount=

-exThreads=

-high

 

Can you devs confim what is working and what isnt.

 

most of the google is all dated or hearsay, we need this info concrete.

 

thank you

Pretty sure -high is a launch parameter for games on Source engine and doesn't work elsewhere. Arma 2 launch parameters should work with DayZ.

[deebz1234 243]

again, hearsay...lol

 

i agree with -high, but i see it on every arma3 guide.

 

supposedly -enableHT (hyperthread usage) works on arma 3 and overrides cpucount=, actually this is from the BI website...so prob legit.

however BI forums say cpucount and everything else doesnt work anymore. except enableHT.

but enableHT isnt in dayz apparently.

 

so only the devs can tell us what exists and doesnt.

 

why they havent shared this before is bizarre.

Maybe because they don't want the players trying to optimize a game that is not optimized yet and changes with every update. Launch parameters have caused quite some trouble for many players, may it be client crashes, game freezes or the game not launching at all.

[deebz1234 243]

yea i suppose, its easier to not publish that way people unfamiliar with the consequences/etc dont fuck their setup even more.

 

that being said its alpha and we are "testers" so we should have all the tools necc to test.

Thanks.

 

That is exactly what I was looking for to confirm a couple of things for other players.

[deebz1234 243]

good guide, but hardly answered my questions lol

6 month old info,

 

i know for a fact arma3 has since done away with 95% of the launch parameters. SA devs could have easily done the same.

leaving us with placebo at best..

 

its nice to know exactly what we are dealing with.

 

on another note, i went further on the OC and gained an insane 20fps in arma3.

4.3 ghz = 50fps, 4.6 = 71fps...insanity.

hopefully helps MP and SA a bit more.

I need better cooling before I can OC to that. my FX-8320e will do 5ghz and is stable  but the temp are to high. :( 4.0Ghz for now... <_<

[deebz1234 243]

did some SA testing, with the gtx 970 and 4.6ghz overclock I can get 40 fps in cities on packed server (grey matter loot loot loot server excellent ping)

 

but the icing on the cake is rendering @ 150% and everything on ultra. it looks fucking amazing and is actually using my GPU over 50% constant.

 

launch params still not sure what works and what doesnt, its all voodooo

 

single core performance is key to fps, also setting renderer to 150%+ makes your gpu work harder and it looks wayyyy better.

So does anyone have confirmation at this moment which of the launch parameters are working or not?

I tested today to start the game without any launch parameters and to be honest it didn't seem to matter.

 

My launch parameters are:

-high -CPUCount=4 -ExThreads=3 -maxMem=7168 -NoSplash -NoPause -malloc=system

 

What would the value be of -enableHT=? true or 1 ?
