Ya and here's some copy paste from an earlier thread for how to do it in Six Launcher / DayZ Commander Six Launcher: Open Six Launcher. Click on the "options" button directly underneath the Twitter icon in the bottom left. In the "Additional startup parameters" box type "-cpucount=#" without quotes, # being the number of cpus you have. DayZ Commander: Open DayZ Commander Click on the "settings" button in the upper right corner to the left of "donate" and right of "versions" In the box under "Additional Startup Parameters" type "-cpucount=#" without quotes, # being the number of cpus you have.
Me and a few friends have all had this issue as well, 2 of us have the 1090t and 1 of us has an FX-8XXX (forgot the exact number). After some experimenting I seem to have fixed it by adding -cpucount=6 and -maxmem=4096 to the startup paremeters, although I've heard anything above 2048 for maxmem gets reverted back to 2048 anyway.
If your using the steam version I have fixed this for myself and friends by doing this: 1. Close Steam 2. Open Steam as administrator (right-click shortcut/exe run as admin) 3. Verify the file integrity of both Arma2 and Arma2:OA 4. Run both Arma2 and Arma2:OA once 5. Verify with Six Launcher and play To verify the file integrity in steam: 1. Right-click the game in your steam library 2. Click "properties" 3. Go to the "local files" tab 4. Click "verify integrity of game cache..." and let it run
You mean you can't find it in Six Launcher? Six Launcher: Open Six Launcher. Click on the "options" button directly underneath the Twitter icon in the bottom left. In the "Additional startup parameters" box type "-cpucount=#" without quotes, # being the number of cpus you have. DayZ Commander: Open DayZ Commander Click on the "settings" button in the upper right corner to the left of "donate" and right of "versions" In the box under "Additional Startup Parameters" type "-cpucount=#" without quotes, # being the number of cpus you have. If you need it I can put up a guide on doing this for Steam and Desktop shortcuts but most people use one of these two.
To my understanding they disabled the respawn button to reduce server load from people spamming the respawn button. If you really have to respawn instead of just running to your buddies or desired town simply run into a zombie or jump out of a barn and break your legs (this re-enables the respawn button). Otherwise its not fair for others on the server to lag because there are a few people who don't like where the spawn and lag / crash the server trying to get a Cherno / Elektro spawn.
Excellent, that's still not what I would expect from a system like that but at least it's playable. It could be that either ATI has to release better drivers for a card as new as that or Arma 2 simply doesn't know how to fully use it. OH! just typing this response I thought of something else that might help. Make sure your 3D resolution is the same as your Interface Resolution, it seems to default to different values making your game look worse and have worse framerate at the same time.
Try adding "-cpucount=6" without the quotes in the startup parameters. That doubled my fps from 10-15 to around 25-30 with the same processor but an HD 5750 card. If that doesn't work you can also try "-maxmem####" without quotes and replacing # with the amount of ram you want Arma / DayZ to use. You could also try turning off Anti-Aliasing, Post-Processing, and V-Sync.
