Ahhh ok thanks! I was also wondering how often do people do server restarts? After around a day it seems like AI Combat support slows right down (takes 5 minutes for it to pickup on what you told it to do like move commands), frames slow right down, units begin spawning without correct loadouts, units take awhile to spawn in, damage stops registering, etc

Awesome thanks! Is there a way to use the server exit to save for persistence automatically?

Also I have had a few weird instances of being on a hill for instance for like 15 minutes and then all of a sudden tanks spawn right on my position?

heres my rpt https://www.dropbox.com/s/xl1p8pr2pucu1bh/ServerRPT.zip?dl=0

Awesome thanks! So if I put

["MyCustomVariable", _value] call ALiVE_fnc_setData
_value = ["MyCustomVariable"] call ALiVE_fnc_getData

in my init.sqf it will save and then load every time the server gets restarted?

Perfect thanks! So id just use

900 call ALiVE_fnc_AutoSave_PNS //where 900 is the save interval in seconds

and not

-1 call ALiVE_fnc_AutoSave_PNS //run at any time will disable autosave

to keep it saving every 15 minutes?

Oh also I want it to save to the ALiVE DB as its on a dedicated server so id want

["MyCustomVariable", _value] call ALiVE_fnc_setData //will save to the Cloud on next Server Save & Exit
_value = ["MyCustomVariable"] call ALiVE_fnc_getData //will load on next mission start or when command is executed

then right?

or would I use

900 call ALiVE_fnc_setData

in my init.sqf?

Ahhh awesome thanks! I always thought mission persistence was saved to the cloud? In ALiVE data I have database source set to the cloud. So objectives, unit location, virtual layer, logistics, etc has always been saved locally?

also does anyone see anything unusual in my rpt? Im really stuck and I dont see anything that stands out

Sorry for so many questions haha. So in that case using

900 call ALiVE_fnc_AutoSave_PNS

would save it to the cloud?

I wonder if its RHS causing my issues. Im having issues with a few things, there are times where we'll be on a hill for say 15 minutes or so and FPS is still ok (40-60) and then all of a sudden enemy units/tanks will spawn in right on top of us. It doesnt happen all the time but happens occasionally. Also there are times where all clients who are playing drop to 10-20 FPS after awhile, after closing/reopening arma being in the exact same place right after frames go up to 50-60. Also I think it may be an ORBATRON issue but factions ive made sometimes only spawn in with a uniform (missing vest/helmet) some elements of the original import (such as vanilla clothing) etc.

Does anyone know of any better optimized alternatives to RHS?

Take a look at your spawn settings.

We found that by lowering the helo and jet settings to a significantly lower number allowed our server to keep up better. Also when a player operated aircraft flys over an AI area they aren't spawning in all the CQB, CIV and OPFOR/INDFOR assets all the time. A player in a jet can literally keep most of the AI assets on a map like Isla Duala, Lingor, etc... spawned for nearly their entire time in the air if they are up there flying virtual figure eights waiting on you to bring in CAS for a mission.

We still haven't figured out how to avoid having things spawn right on top of us in any way other than going super slow with our forces when near objectives.

Also take a look at your objective filter settings (if they didn't mention it earlier...sorry didn't read all of the replies) and break up your TAOR's into smaller areas with different force sizes within them.

Thanks thats a great suggestion! Ill definitely give that a try, right now I dont have any play er controlled aircraft but I do have AI combat support transports. I guess the biggest problem I have is that I get AI just running in place that cant be killed or anything,

Also I just noticed my HCs rpt say

MAP NOT INDEXED OR DEDI SERVER FILE LOAD... ALiVE LOADING MAP DATA: IslaDuala3

which I think is just it checking if theres an index in the mission file itself and loads the index from the mod but just wanted to make sure lol
