Mate this ain't COD, that pic? Hmmm i've seen worse.

Team up, cover each other, UK here, play most nights with long standing buddies x 2, so a team of 3 working together, very effective against all comers, let's go to work ;)

It's because most people fail to understand that CPU speed coupled with a well tuned rig (too long to explain) is king in this game, A fast Quad core with a high L2 L3 cache wil alwaysl provide excellent fps irrespective of most gpu/card speeds above a certain level, the op has issues not related to the A2 engine.... As do most others here.

Not all servers are the same, some run well some are shit, that's why you see a difference, it's not your rigs fault.

Agreed you get a small fps jump as on another rig i just upgraded from a 285gtx to a 670gtx, saw about 8fps increase on a quad intel @ 3.4ghz. However i also just installed an i7 @ 3.6ghz running same GTX285 & fps increase was 15. CPU is king ladies, suck it up.

Monkey have a hair up his ass?

You can only see or hear direct comms when inside a certain distance from each other, too far away & it won't show.

Cpu is king in this game not graphics, i get great frames on an old 8800GTX because my cpu is an intel quad @ 3.4ghz.

49 here & deadlier than i was @ 30 ;)

Read the update notes ffs, known bug well reported.

Anger management issues? Perhaps talking would help? http://www.childline.org.uk/Pages/Home.aspx

Thanks, Camo clothing fits me perfectly ;)

Today's patch will fix it, why bother?

Edit: Changed mind. Op is a prick.

Try different servers, server performance directly affects your games performance, finding a server with a ping under 30 is best, then it's just finding one that runs good, lots are shite, others are great. Good luck.

Head to that Airfield & you will find salvation! With a bullet from my AS50..........

Wierd, since i upgraded from a 285GTX to a 670GTX i get 0 artifacts or graphics bugs at all, none, nada, 0. perhaps this whole thing is driver/card related after all & not the game? My buddy who uses a 550ti gets them until he uses the "flush" command, then his are gone too.

Run speed also directly linked to food/drink/blood status, a freshly fed & watered survivor will run faster than someone on a lower status, hungry thirsty etc.

You don't need to creat a new steam acct, just reinstall OA using the new key.

This game is like no other, it's a massive cpu hog, the faster the better, even with my uber rig i average only 30-40fps in towns, woodland is the high 60's. Imagine that the cpu has to calculate a trillion things at once right down to the individual leaves on trees moving & bugs flying around, that's just the start. A good test is to run a single mission in Arma2 with everything set to high, that will indicate what kind of performance you should find on a fast server. The server also sets your graphics options in the main, you can mess with AA & shadows but not draw distance etc. Good luck.

Laptops are not for gaming..... However, this game is dependant on the server & how fast it is, you can join one server & have great fps, join another & it's as laggy as hell. Find one that works well for you & stick to it, look for servers with pings of less than 30 & DONT use a wireless connection, use a cable direct to lappy from your router & see the difference. Also there are some excellent tweak guides on these very forums. Remember the server controls how well the game plays, if it's a shit server on a low spec machine with poor internet connection it will lag irrespective of what kind of machine the player has. Good luck.

Fixed.

Game is all about cpu not gpu, card will run it fine if u have a 3ghz quad.

Sorry bud, no chance with that lappy.
