I think some beta releases ago, BIS added a parameter that would allow to use more cores than one, or so I think. Might be earlier I dunno.

"C:\*********\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe" -beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -mod=@daizy -cpuCount=2 -exThreads=1 -nosplash -skipintro

Notice the "-cpuCount=2" and "exThreads=1"

I think I got these two from a thread somewhere in one of the DaiyZ earlier releases. How much do these parameters help I wonder. I have a 6 core Phenom II 960T/1600T and I see almost no difference in performance with or without. I haven't played much around with the parameters. Going to change the numbers a bit sometime and try using an fps counter.

It's mostly my graphics card that is limiting me on resource hungry games that have been modded. Or most games created near the end of 2011. I really hate my 460 GTX right now. :) I need to pick up a HD Radeon 7870 when I have some cash to spend on luxury.

I think the most things that my graphics card hates right now is high resolutions (I don't play on 720p since I feel stutter from anything higher than 1152x864 on games) and also post processing (this is the biggest performance hog ever). It was a good graphics card but I should have went with the 560Ti, made a mistake.

DayZ rarely lags though. I barely see any sort of lag in SP when there are lots AI running around and stuff. It's in multiplayer when lag seems to surface though. I started to like SP far more than I did before, when I discovered Kronsky's SP missions first time. This is a worthwhile project IMO and I would like to see it bloom.

Edit: I wonder if it would be possible for AI team survivors or bandits to heal you. For example if they had an epi-pen they would be able to revive you at the moments notice, or they would give you blood if they have a blood bag on them and your blood falls below, say 4000 or 6000.

All they seem to do is shoot zombies while standing in place like a statue, unless you order them around, as zombies keep spawning they won't move most of the time. So in a nutshell the team AI is pretty simple, but shouldn't the AI be capable of performing more varied tasks?

Don't get me wrong, the AI that will attack you on sight is near perfect, I just witnessed it.

I guess you guys are waiting for standalone to come out but I am just giving a few ideas. It would be really immersive if a bandit or survivor made a fireplace, sat down and cooked raw meat and when they finish they would move on.
