Hi there,I bought Arma 2 on steam and started to play DayZ.Everything is fine for 5-10mins,then i go to 4fps for about 10 minutes,then back to normal for 5 mins,then 4fps again.It doesnt seem to matter where i am in game,crowded area or not,and changing the settings makes no difference either. At the moment i am running it through steam using -beta=Expansion\beta\expansion;G:\@DayZ -nosplash -world=empty -mod=@dayz,and using ramdisk,but have tried through arma2 and six launcher all with and without ramdisk and nothing has helped. Specs: AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual core 5000+ 2.6 4G ram Nvidia GeForce 9500GT Windows XP 64-Bit I know my processor isnt the best but my system is above minimum requirements via Arma2 website and http://systemrequire...cyri/intro.aspx Also,If my proccssor wasnt good enough,surely it would be shitty all the time? I have just tried downloading new processor drivers and the AMD dual core optimizer....still nothing.Have noticed on task manager,When everything is ok CPU usage is about 60%,when frame rate drops,cpu bar spikes to 100%Probably stating the obvious but am all out of ideas. And yes i have tried closing down all background programs. Anyone else having these problems?Im happy to answer more questions/give more info if required,Thanks.

ok so looks like ive fixed it,it was my cpu overheating.Cleaned up the heatsink and fan,and put my house fan blowing on it to keep it cool

Yeh thanks,as stated above i know my cpu isnt great however it does run.Toaday i played for 20mins before the fps issue started,which makes me think that it can run it,it just encounters some problem for whatever reason.

Bump

Yeh not too helpful,but thanks.Anyone heard of throttlestop?could this help?
