I definitely see what you are saying here. When I first had the game I had a steady 200 FPS on my GTX760, which I'm STILL rocking though I might need an upgrade here soon since with all of these new patches I'm coasting between 80-100 depending on the area. I do notice one thing though and I know it's because I need more RAM, but it does seem to randomly stutter a lot. I'll catch a spot when I'm running in the woods and I drop to maybe 10fps and it gets super jumpy and I just have to stop the controls and let it sit in for about 10 seconds and then I'm good to go. I do miss Balota as well. A lot used to go down in the NWA and in Balota and people were normally not KOS in Cherno and Elektro. Now it almost feels like the opposite. I can walk through an airfield almost no issues but if I so much as look at Cherno the wrong way, I'm catching an SVD round to the chest. On my first outing I figured as a fresh spawn I would be able to at least go into town and get some food without being harassed, which I quickly realized was a mistake when I turned a corner and got jumped by two guys with shovels. I don't know if this is supposed to be in the game or not but I ran across a rather large weapons cache inside barrels, which were inside tents. Is this something new? Or should this sort of content be reported for a public server? Edit: I have since gone back to that spot where those tents were located and noticed that none of the items have respawned and it seems I just happened to run across someones stash pile. I was unaware that tents and barrels keep the gear with persistance on, though I haven't read into it much to see.
