ISSUE Upon logging into the game I'm running about 2-5 FPS. When I look at the sky without any visible terrain I'm getting around 15 FPS. The game is unplayable. I cannot do anything. COMPUTER SPECS Processor: AMD Athlon64 x2 Dual Core processor 5000+ 2.6 Ghz RAM: 3 GB (2942 MB) Page file: 1065 MB used, 5050 MB available Graphics card NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE nforce 430 Integrated RAMDAC Approx. total memory 1336 MB Direct draw, Direct 3D, AGP Texture Acceleration: (all 3 enabled).

Fraps was reporting 2-4 (sometimes rarely 5) FPS. I tried all possible settings in my NVIDIA settings to no avail. *sigh* It's like looking at a glass of water through a window when you're parched. :(

was able to get the game up and running through Six updater. The issue remains that my comps FPS is horrible. Is my comps Ram too low? What am I doing wrong?

Dual core 2.6 ghz 32 bit 3 GB ram

Purchased a version of Arma 2 and Arma 2: OA through Steam today. After installing both I downloaded battleye and an installer called Six_updater. Six updater seems to lock up trying to install microsoft frameworks 4.0 client after several attempts to do so. Then I found that you can bypass it by installing the Arma 2 Beta at: Arma2.com. However, Arma2.com is currently down? I keep getting connection timed out issues all day on both comps. Unable to install. The Other Issue. After downloading Arma 2, I tried playing it. Upon starting up both arma2 and OA I noticed the game was SUPER LAGGY. The comp I run it on usually has no problems running these types of games. Is there something I need to do to get Arma running much more smoothly? As it stands on I've set the game on VERY LOW on everything I could and it's still running at what seems like .5 FPS..... <_< Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm so very excited to play DayZ but seems as though it's not going to happen. :( Thank you.
