If you have steam right click the game in your library, click properties and then choose set launch options. Input your launch options you want. If using retail/ shortcut on your desktop, right click/properties.. add a space after the text in the "Target" box and add the launch options you want.

From what I've read your cpu is probably a bottleneck for the 6990, the i5 2500k will fix that and does just as well as the i7s for gaming. I have an i5 2500k, one of the best cpu's I've owned. 85c is pretty normal for a 6990, nothing to worry about, if you ever get up near 99c I'd start to worry. One easy way to see if you're being bottlenecked is watch the gpu usage while gaming, if it stays between 95-100% constantly, its not a bottleneck, if its below that then it is.

Might try a different cpu if you have one or think about finding a computer shop and see if they can test and see what exactly is wrong, could be any number of hardware issues really, from psu to motherboard causing problems.

Your body probably already sunk into the ground, I was looking for a streamers body for him who died the exact same way, if you listen closely it will sound like the flies are inside or directly below the tree. The trees are just getting revenge for all the Christmas trees we've slaughtered in the past. :P

http://www.rockpaper...-on-performance Good resource for the settings. Start Button/Documents/Arma 2 (for the following config files) -Terrain Detail and Object detail can really kill fps, I have a 6950 2gb and putting those 2 settings on anything above normal drops my fps by 10+ and causes my mouse/camera to be jittery. -Also, especially if you use Anti Aliasing, AtoC in the arma 2 config will kill your fps. Setting it to 0 in the config will counter this (smoothing on trees, foliage, grass) One thing to kind of help is turning ppaa to 3 in the config. -Under your username config for arma 2 is also mouse smoothing...setting this to 1 helps for some reason. Also a problem I've had recently with fps is with vysnc enabled, turning it off stopped some fps drops. The special launch options (-maxmem=2047 -exThreads=7 -nopause -world=Chernarus -winxp) in my experience are not needed anymore. Best advice is try changing the things I specifically listed as well as using the guide I linked to find a good balance, every computer is different so you'll really have to just try some things on your own. But these are a few good baselines. Before doing anything listed, I would get about 30-40 fps in the wilderness and towns, Now I range from high 40s in towns to 70+ in wilderness, while still looking nice. On the website it talks about FXAA, I tried this on max settings and so no increase in visual quality, same goes with Anti Aliasing which I have disabled, I do however have Anistropic Filtering set to high.

*If you have had fps stuttering* I've been messing around with settings trying to figure out what was causing it if anything, while it wasn't a problem in previous patches apparently it is now. If you have fps stutters every 2-3 seconds, disable vsync and it should take care of the problem.

Well I posted about an fps stutter in 1.7.2, now with this newest patch the fps stutter is even worse. Before every 2-3 seconds my fps would drop about 10 frames and freeze the screen for about 1 second. Now it drops by 20-30 fps every 2-3 seconds. Same location on singleplayer, 0 problems, this is also on all servers so I highly doubt its a server issue.

Right, I understand that, but everything else is essentially the same, figured I'd give him a good baseline of where to start tweaking.

I've got a very similar pc and aside from the fps stutter in 1.7.2 I'm at 60fps most of the time, major cities upper 40s. Screenshot attached with my ingame settings, as for the config file... My Documents/Arma 2 folder/Arma2oa.cfg -Look for and disable AToC -Set PPAA to 3 My Documents/Arma 2 folder/(Your Username) Search for "mousesmoothing" and make sure it =1 Also I've added (-mod=@DayZ -nosplash -world=empty -cpuCount=4 -exThreads=7 -maxmem=4096) to my shortcut, whether some of those work anymore, better safe than sorry. I've messed with my settings for quite awhile trying to find a good balance for graphics/performance and this is what I've come up with, for myself the high fps as well as no jerky camera movement when looking around. Try this out and see how it works for you. One great resource I've used for settings is; http://www.rockpaper...-on-performance My Specs (aside from what is in my sig) HiS Radeon HD6950 2gb OC i5 2500k @ 3.30ghz 8gb G.Skill Ripjaw X @ 1600mhz PC Power & Cooling 750W Silencer Mk.II (80 Plus Silver) 2x 500gb 7200rpm HDD

I havent seen much regarding this but after updating to 1.7.2 I have an fps stutter while playing, I'm at 60 fps almost constantly while playing and no problems with 1.7.1.5 but now my fps will drop every 2-3 seconds from 60 to about 50 and it almost freezes my screen during this, granted just for a second.

I actually just got mine to work, by deleting my arma 2 beta folder, reinstalling the 1.60 patch and then installing the beta 94700. I'm not entirely sure why that worked but it did lol, maybe give it a try, as well manually updating my battleye did nothing, but after reinstalling the patch & beta patch, my battleeye updated once I joined a dayz game.

I haven't played since before the 1.7.1.5 update, everything is updated now and I'm having this happen. "You were kicked off the game" on every server I try to join. No reason given, haven't been banned.. haven't cheated or exploited or hacked at all. Arma 2 retail (non steam) Dayz 1.7.2 beta 94444 I'm using the new DayZ Commander launcher but even just using the in-game server browser is the same result.

Looks really awesome, especially the friends feature and the server time. Only thing I would suggest/something I wished was in six launcher or the actual Arma 2 browser was a favorite system, I know you can just type the name of the server but it would make things easier. Other than that I'll definitely try this out when you release it!

This reminds me of missed connections on craigslist lol Pretty awesome you found a friendly person though, only people who I find that are friendly are fresh spawns with no guns :P

Server ban more than likely if caught by an admin, as for a global ban I don't think so. Going to be patched soon where it's not possible to do it anyway. Tell you friend to stop being a coward and play the game the way its meant to be played.

Are you the one that made the video and that is you disconnecting to avoid death? Or do you just surf youtube looking for people to report?

I purchased Combined Operations as well as BAF and PMC after seeing this mod, I hadn't purchased it before because of my old video card not handling the game too well, got a new one and then the game. Honestly a great investment time spent/price as well as being fun. The base game is great and as for zombie games, nothing else compares. As for pvp, this mod has it, more so than team play.. unless you have friends. There are nice players out there that don't only hunt for other players however. I've ran across a few people that either grouped up with me for a bit or just hung around for no reason, rare though in my case. So all in all, worth the purchase and I would recommend it to anyone.

Normally why I tend to not join a server with clan members in it, not saying all of them are like this but I don't intend to take the chance. Hopefully they get shut down, plenty of other people waiting in line to host servers. Kind of pathetic on their part.

So I went to hop onto a dayz server today, chose a random low ping server with lots of players, Atlanta 54 happened to be the one I chose. After entering the game I noticed that the white highlights for npc's you see in single player were everywhere, showing the location of zombies as well as animals, I didn't run across any players so I'm not sure if it would show them or not. I left the server and went to another and didn't have this happen so it's probably isolated to Atlanta 54, went back to make the video as well as take screenshots. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQ_URWfhi9I

I've been on the server before and other recruit servers and never had the highlights show up, that's why I was kind of confused about it. I agree with you though it is pointless as well as shouldn't be enabled.

I've accidently destroyed a couple buildings I was in with smoke grenades, so I'd imagine that a regular grenade could do some damage, he might of had a launcher as well.

Not sure on the range but found this video showing the heartbeat... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zttL1ekIYlc

lol I feel bad, trying for a 2nd time to get this fix to work.. I've been stuck in wasteland for about 3-4 hours now... anyway I keep running out of water but luckily I find some bodies from time to time if I relog and some have soda on them, like a little leech atm. The first time I tried this fix (and here is the sickening part) I was still in the wasteland but could hear the ocean O_O WTF rofl.

I tried the canada server, after logging out and going back to another server I was still in the debug plains

I'm in the same boat now, I've been running east for over an hour and nothing. Water light is blinking now and imagine that, I ran out of water awhile ago. Very annoyed as I have nearly every tool as well as very good weapons from the airfield.
