boomey30 0 Posted January 5, 2013 Ok, So a few days ago I bought Arma 2 Combined operations. I downloaded Operation arrowhead first so I played it for a few hours, I adveraged about 50 fps. I downloaded Arma 2, then the problems happened. After that I would try to run Arma 2 OA, It would go to about 40 fps then back to 0 then repeats. I tried to play Dayz.. Same exact thing. Please help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please help!Go back to the basics, re-install everything, patches, add-ons, everything and also configure your graphics settings. Beyond that I'm not sure what could be the problem.

boomey30 0 Posted January 5, 2013 Go back to the basics, re-install everything, patches, add-ons, everything and also configure your graphics settings. Beyond that I'm not sure what could be the problem. I have a bad internet connection. That would mean another week before I could play. Is there anything else you would know of?

Reichenbach Fall 4 Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) Hmm.. there's a few things you can do.1) Scan for adware/spyware/viruses and obliterate them with hatred.2) Run a disk cleanup and disk de-fragmentation to clean and compress files for more hard drive room.3) Turn off any anti-virus software or monitoring software of any kind and then try it again.4) Download Gamebooster (made by Razer), and run ArmA II with that, it'll normally disable any unnecessary processes on your computer hopefully ceasing the problem, i use it and it does help to a certain degree.If these don't come up with a soultion, i'm sorry, friend, I cannot help you any further.Good Luck.

burritoman259 593 Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) May I also state after going back through this thread your cpu may not be able to handle day z, Edited January 6, 2013 by burritoman259 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vincenzo (DayZ) 97 Posted January 6, 2013 tweak with your settings a bit.*don't put everything on LOW, and put video Memory on Default.If you put everything on low, the CPU will takeover instead of the GPU. And your gpu is.. well.. "normal".. but your cpu = MEH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vincenzo (DayZ) 97 Posted January 6, 2013 not to low nor to high.just tweak it your self, works better, run it with fraps to see the FPS or someother tools Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boomey30 0 Posted January 9, 2013 I found out my ram was faulty. Ordered new ram recieved it today, ARMA 2 OA would run with no problems, downloaded arma 2 again and installed dayz to ramdisk to increase performance. Tried to play today and it freezes just like before.. ._. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boomey30 0 Posted January 9, 2013 May I also state after going back through this thread your cpu may not be able to handle day z,Would it be possible that my cpu can handle OA and Arma 2 but just not DayZ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
97ADU OzRattler 0 Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) When you say freeze, you mean it stalls, the game keeps running - you can hear sound - and then suddenly you are back free flowing for a short time, then 1-3 seconds of freezing?Same here with me if that is your case. I created a RAM disk and put some of the larger BPO files on that BUT I have been told (in game) that a 100% fresh re-install solves the drama...........Google "AMAII lag spikes +Drive Thrashing"Good luck!
