I did try the ArmA2OA.cfg thing and it helped a little but it's still not much of a jump. At least now I can turn a bit more smoothly. Again I realize that I don't have a gaming rig so I can never to expect a smooth framerate but when my buddy, who actually has a gaming rig, is barely getting 25 in the forest and country and >15 in the cities, there's something wrong.

Hey fairly new player here. I just read the first page of this thread and am already suffering from TL;DR. (Sorry I'm lazy). Now I realize that I do not have a gaming laptop but it really bugs me that the few games I do have I can run at normal with no problem. When I bough ArmA 2 CO the other day I tested vanilla and OA and was able to run them on mostly normal settings with no problem. Now on DayZ I'm getting a slideshow. A friend of mine wanted me to get DayZ so he'd have a buddy to watch his back, but it's kind of hard to do that when everything is jumping around like crazy. This particular friend has a gaming laptop that he built and he said that he's having trouble keeping a steady framerate. IDK how to check all the technical stuff about my system specs but like I said I can run most games that are 2-3 years old on normal, sometimes a bit higher but not much. Just my 2 cents.
