imagine

I notice that when im launching the game and the first "wait for ..." screen appears my CPU is at 97-100%. Something needs to be seriously wrong here.

Picture of usage when running arma. Im running dual screen, but weird thing is that DayZ didn't show up on the screen, it just showed the desktop behind. I dont know if its supposed to be like that or not. I've tried everything you have said now, but nada :(

So im running through your suggestion, and i found at the steam integrity files check that 1 file failed. Gonna go through all the other steps to and then try, but just thought i give you a heads up :)

Im sorry if I sounded like I ignored your help, but I probably just used my words the wrong way. I can see how it's confusing you, and im sorry for that. I'll try again, I want to play dayZ. but as I laged first time yesterday when i launched through six launcher I decided to uninstall everything. When I started installing again, I decided to install one thing at a time and see when the problem kicked in. The problem is there when I only have Arma II installed, I have nothing that relates to dayZ on my computer other than that. In my head that means that the dayZ update can't interfere, because it's uninstalled. I can be wrong as I am not any computer god, so if I am wrong I will gladly try your advice :) I hope i clared something up and I really appreciate your help.

I appreciate it, but I won't think that will solve the problem. As said, i only have regular Arma II installed, no expansion, no dayZ. Everything related to dayZ is removed, even the old files to Arma II. Everything should be clean. But there has to be something messing around...

I used to launch to six launcher, now i dont even have dayz installed and launch just original arma 2 through steam. I have tried lowered every setting to minimum, but no difference. To me it looks like something is interferring... http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/analysis.aspx?name=ArmA+II%3a+Operation+Arrowhead&id=10994 As mentioned I havent had any lag before yesterday and I have been playing for almost two weeks now. So I dont really think it should be because of system specs.

Yesterday when I started up DayZ through Six Launcher, some weird things started to happen. Basicly both video and sound in the game freezes for 2 seconds, then works fine for 1 second and then freeze again. I can still move the mouse pointer under the freezes. I updated to 1.7.2 the night before, but I can't remember if I played it after that or not. I started searching for an answer and if it was caused by the update, but I haven't heard of anyone with the same problem. I started "troubleshooting" from here, I have tried restarting computer, running everything as administrator, updating my graphics drivers, removing everything that has to do with DayZ and Arma 2 and reinstalling from scratch. So I started with just installing plain Arma but even that lags in main menu, and through out the whole time it's open. It's even lagging from the first start screen that shows the logo to Bohemia interactive. I don't really know what to do from here and i'm dieing to play DayZ. Specs: Windows 7, 64-bit Intel Core 2 duo CPU E6850 @ 3.00GHz 4096MB RAM DirectX 11 NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 2287MB I have the steam version of the game. I can also mention that i have tried monitoring my GPU and it runs on 47% while in game, but it does the same on desktop. My CPU runs at like 70% and sometimes peaks 90% while playing, but it have done this all the time and I first got lag yesterday. I can't think of any more information to give you, but if there is something you need to know to help then just ask and I will give it to you right away. If someone can help me I will appreciate it very much!
