Original Source: http://pastebin.com/F7Q8Ne2i Original Optimization Guide (credit to an anon): I hope somebody reads this and thinks it's useful ;_; If you want your game to be a LOT smoother: Make sure "Video Memory" in Video Options is set to Default, not Very High. Very High = 512MB VRAM, while Default detects your video card's full VRAM. Nvidia users: Go in your control panel, in the profile for Arma 2 OA, set the following: Ambient Occlusion - Off Anisotropic Filtering - Application controlled AntiAliasing Gamma Correction - On AntiAliasing Mode - Application controlled AntiAliasing Setting - Application controlled AntiAliasing Transparency - Off Maximum Pre-Rendered Frames - 0 Multi-Display/GPU Accelaration - Single Display Performance Mode Power Management Mode - Prefer Maximum Performance Texture Filtering Sample Optimization - On Texture Filtering Negative LOD Bias - Allow Texture Filtering Quality - High Performance Texture Filtering Trilinear Optimization - On Threaded Optimization - Auto Triple Buffering - Off Vertical Sync - Off ATI Users: Just find the equivalent in your control panel Now go to My Documents/ArmA 2, open up the file called "<profilename>.ArmA2OAProfile" Change these lines to the following: shadingQuality=0 fovTop=0.975 fovLeft=1.55999999 mouseSmoothing=1 Enjoy zero mouse lag, higher FPS, and being able to see more. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Making DayZ Look/Perform Better (also credit to an anon): I've spent some time going through arma 2's config files and video settings, to get the game working smoothly with good graphics. just using high settings rapes your fps, but there's a very good compromise you can reach for the record, my specs are: i7 920 4ghz, hd6950, 8gb ram, SSD this is the game on playable settings: shitty AA, awful shadows, etc, etc >cont'd And this is the game on my settings, with 40-70fps. Good AA, good shadows, good foliage. So, here's how you do it: in my documents\ARMA2OA.cfg, set the following: AToC=6; PPAA=1; PPAA_Level=1; AToC controls anti-aliasing on foliage. setting it to 6 disables AA on grass, which gives you a massive performance boost. the PPAA commands enable a very light, basic FXAA, which gives you back AA on the grass, and finishes off other details in-game. Combining FXAA + normal AA = more fps, looks better. Then, use the following settings in-game: Anti-Aliasing: HIGH. low and normal look worse and don't improve your performance Video Memory: default. this makes it use all your vram Object detail: very low to normal. I recommend low. this setting will always rape your fps, so go easy on it. it pretty much only affects grass. shadows: this one is important. look at the two screenshots, and notice how the trees actually cast shadows when I have this set to high. when it's on normals, trees just cast a square block as their shadow. it looks awful. one of the biggest visual improvements you can make. set it to high post-processing: low. setting it to normal adds SSAO, which also kills performance Before: http://s8.postimage.org/jri4xhvbn/2012_06_27_00019.jpg After: http://s17.postimage.org/vs5gx7ut9/2012_06_27_00020.jpg

Server admins can still add them to the lootable. The new food is still in the dB but it's removed from the loot tables. Plus you can find servers that do not run the hotfix.

Wow, wow, wow. Who called the 19th century priest ?

And that's why you have to ignore the bashing about the patches. I find it highly idiotic to remove the cans because of an inhibited group of people that get offended by My Little Pony references. If they got offended by zombies would you remove them ?

Man what are you talking about ? You could say that when the standalone is out and you've put money on it. This is a free mod. They can do what ever they want. But unfortunately(imo), they did not. And don't even say that i purchased Arma 2 CO to play this mod. That's your problem. Not theirs.

So what you little bugger? You don't like My Little Pony ? Nor do i. Actually i hate it. But the fact that Herpy Dooves Muffins used to be in game it's not a problem and it should not be for anyone. Do you know what is the problem? You, in a general scale. You should not be ingame. Not the Muffins. I think it's time for George Carlin to take place in the discussion. I won't censor anything. My ban is near so. As you reddit little peeps say. YOLO.

I can't agree more with that. But, Hey. Spoiling is good isn't it ? Let's see the appliance and the consequences of that in the real life. ;)

Some bugs cannot be fixed sadly. It's a mod. They are not developing with an engine. They are tweaking values and tweaking takes time, efford plus trial and error.

Where are all these people to thank the Mods and Devs for their decision of removing the "break-my-immersion-beans" ?

I see what you are saying man, but honestly ? People that take offence and raise hell with such petty things are not worthy and it's not healthy for the community. Ιnhibited people never done good.

Get used to it. You are human (i'm not sure), you came because of evolution therefore adaption(natural selection). Adapt of fucking die. Enough of you people.

If i was Razor i would not even rename them. After a week none will notice. I don't get this people. I don't get them at all. It's like they spawn at elektro and instaid of rushing to the buildings, get the supplies they want and get the fock out of there, they stay and examine every little detail they find. Burn them. If this things goes on, i have a great piece of work to commit for them from my precious George Carlin. It fits the situation perfect.

DERPYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY why. ? <_<

Yeah, go on. Spoil the reddit kiddies. After reading it again, i got the idea that we have to do with a bunch of "religious", irrational people. Calling bronys faggots. I mean only that, sets the "valid" reasons they want their canned food renamed.

There is already a vote poll on reddit............

For real ? Nothing. But i'm not demanding anything. I'm super happy with every patch with the downs and the ups of it. I'm not making an internet crusade to get through the mods and devs just because i don't like something. That's the difference between you and me. You demand i don't. Yes i do believe it. And yes i'm an idiot. Now go back to reddit with the rest of the children.

No i don't think i matter more. But when i see people that gave nothing, requesting things i feel like bashing them. And yes am arrogant to idiots. It's one of my fine skills. I have low tolerance for stupidity. Especially when it comes from people with their hands open, asking and demanding things without a valid reason. It's not about your time here. It's about what you give and offer.

Then shut it. You don't deserve anything in here and you don't have requests.

Let's say that my grandma has wheels. :rolleyes: You, great community contributor. Where were you, when the devs where working for the 3D models? When they announced that some of them are actually going to make it in the patch ? And if you knew better, not a single mod asked for his 3D model to make it into game. They started for the lols. Now i don't have a reddit account and i won't make one because reddit gives cancer. But if i had i would upvote that.

Oh really ? Submit for a developer then and do the amount of work they do for free and we will talk again at that time.

-Immersion- You know how to shoot a high caliber sniper rifle out of the blue. You get a toolbox, you fix everything. You broke your legs? No problem, we have morphine. You need a bit of blood? Oh let's eat some beans. No need for sleep. No need for natural disposal of fluids or hard*if you know what i mean*. You can run for ever. And i can go for ever. If it was immersion you would go like this. "Fuck that name, i'm starving. Nom nom nom" Get out of here. Oh boy, when you get your self a reddit vote pole you are not expressing your opinion. You take action of your opinion. Raising hell for such a petty thing, for me is immature and close to nonsense.

@FistyMart, Col Brown, New Clear Winter. You see your arguments are not valid and your behavior is immature. I'm astonished that there is such extend to this. I've read nearly every little idiotic thing that your "group" said. Immersion, tha names, arrogance and all of this shit. @Col Brown. So you think they don't fit? What type of an argument is that? Does not fit the game. For starters who are you to judge what fits in a FREE MOD? And second, it's not like they replaced the UH1H with a pony. Get over it.

Oh c'mon people. Don't spoil the COD kiddies. If it was their name they would be even telling the school. Don't even change that. It's a shame. The mods deserve it and it's a kind of easter egg.

So far i havent found one. None has it's filters sorted. Everytime i eat or drink i get kicked on nearly every server. I'll tell you in the shoutbox when i find one klesh :)

Make them spawn on top of the actual flush :D Back to topic. Tried 3 different servers the 2 of them were crowded the last one was a test server with 8 slots. In all three servers my FPS was insane in comparison with the past patches. 30-40fps constantly in elektro/cherno. At the third server i spawned at Komarovo with 45-55 Fps. All the settings are enabled on high-v.high except Vsync(disabled), Post Process(Low because on high and above it adds SSAO) and ATOC Only Trees. In previous patches with shadows disabled, no post process and no AA in Elektro/Cherno i had 15-20 fps and generaly on the coast tops 25fps. That's good. That's really good.
