same here

I get the same problems here too. But my FPS drop was caused before 1.7.2.5, when I updated to ArmA 2 Beta Patch 95819.

Was playing with 7 friends of mine today on US 506 for about two hours or so. We were on our "base" very northeast of Elektro and decided to do a little trip through the city to get some loot and medical stuff. That done, we decided to go through Elektro into Cherno, all the way along the coast. We were almost on Cap Golova when we heard some shots our way. Our group of 4 (we were separated in 2 groups) immediatly went to the ground and got some cover from the Pik Kozlova mountain, because we supposed the shots came from some snipers there. One of our friends (player Zlatan) tried to go to the lighthouse up in the Cap Golova mount, but was shot and killed right there. We waited some more and another friend (player Hayato) went to the lighthouse, this time he managed to reach the lighthouse and went to the top to do some scouting with the binoculars. He couldn't find anyone so me (bownser) and the other friend (Solci) decided to go around the Cap Golova and get to the lighthouse through the back side. A firefight ensued, shots were fired and Hayato managed to kill [V-Tac] Jon. We had already killed this player at least 2 times before during our trip to Elektro, and he was always right on us after every kill with a assault rifle or another good weapon of this kind. Not a problem with that, obviously this clan has some stash somewhere. At the same time, two of or friends on the other group were already scouting Pik Kozlova for the sniper. At least one of ours found and killed one of the snipers, his player name was [V-Tac] TimberJohn. Strangely, 3 seconds later we were all kicked, one by one. All the players, but the ones [V-Tac] clan, were kicked. They were all on the server all along. The server didn't restart because we were able to connect right after the kick. That's when we knew that the clan members weren't kicked out of the game. None of us recorded all the action, but I did manage to take a photo (FRAPS wasn't open) of my screen right after the kick. I asked to some of my friends to come here and talk about this. This was clearly admin abuse for us and at least we deserve some explanation from this server admins. Admins involved: [V-Tac] Jon (killed 3 times at least) [V-Tac] TimberJohn (was killed and everyone else was kicked right after that) Our friend group: bownser Solci Hayato Zlatan Talico Galvanize Killer Photo: Sorry for any english errors, since it is not my primary language.

Hey Graz, thanks for your feedback. We didn't have a sniper on our team because most of us were with new characters and didn't raid any of the military camps yet. As for the revenge, we will simply not join that server anymore. DayZ community servers should not be their admins playground for them to do whatever they want and go about kicking people that kill them. They can play all alone for all I care. It is really a pity because it is one of the servers that allow us to play with a relatively low ping, and we had even established a tent there. When this happened we were just about to look for a place to set a second one. Prime72, I don't think there is any cheater on the admins side. It sure was strange to see one of theirs spawning quickly on us everytime we killed him and with a great rare weapon, but it sure is doable once you have the time and organization to do so. Some of my group that were involved in this surely thought that one of them is a cheater. On the night before we were playing on this same server and all of us were teleported into a helicopter hovering very high into the debug plains. The funny thing is that we were very close to the NW Airfield with a group of 6, ready to raid it and get some loot, we were traveling there for at least half an hour just to get there. Most of our characters were killed then. It sucks but it happens. We tried to play new characters today and this mass kick happened. It is weird but there is no proof that it is actually them cheating. It could be so much as it couldn't. I realize that the DayZ staff is totally overloaded with work right now because the exponential increase in the player base, but I would really like some closure on this matter. At least bring it to public so the majority of players can know what happens when you kill one of the admins in US 506. Just let them play all by theirselves.

I was playing right now on US 506 and all of the sudden me and my friends were teleported to a helicopter in a very high altitude, but out of the heli, right in a free fall to the ground. I managed to ALT+F4, but one of my friends died. Not qqing about death here, it happens, alpha, hacker blablabla. Just reporting some cheater activity here.

I've had this problem too last night. Was playing with some friends and two of them noticed this fps drop over time too. We were in Electro for about half an hour, but playing for about two hours before that. I was streaming so I could see my fps on the top left corner, it was droping 1~2 fps every 6 minutes or so. When it got to 8 fps I reconnected and everything went fine again.
