New FPS/lag issue ONLY after relaunching (didn't have this problem before)

Recommended Posts

As per the "fill this out" thread:

Retail version of Arma2CO

Beta patch 102285

Launching with DayZCommander

Specs:

OS: Windows7

CPU: Phenom II x4 95BE (OC'd from 3.2 to 3.6ghz)

RAM: OCZ Reaper HPC (4GB)

MOBO: M4A785TD-V EVO

Vid Card: GTX 275

HD: Corsair F120 SSD (As well as a couple older 7200 RPM drives)

OK, look, before you tell me I only have 4 gigs of ram, or an older CPU and vid card, note that this is a NEW problem that did NOT use to occur.

I played Dayz just fine for many months without ever seeing this problem. After getting the SSD and installing my OS to it, as well as DayZ, I started noticing this problem that didn't occur all the time, just sometimes.

The problem is my FPS that would usually be 30-60 and smooth and responsive, would suddenly hang around 18-20, and drop as low as 12, and it would be VERY choppy and very laggy to respond to mouse movement.

What I think is key here is that I discovered that it wasn't so random. The FIRST time I launch dayz, it's fine, and I don't have this problem. But if I close the game and come back an hour later and lauch it, I will be laggy.

If I reboot my PC and launch the game it's smooth for hours on end, but as soon as I close the game and relaunch it, it's baaaad.

Some friends told me I should just use my SSD for my OS, and not games like DayZ. I don't know if that's true or not, but it was worth a shot, so I completely uninstalled Arma2 and DayZ, and reinstalled everything back on my old HD that never gave me this problem, yet I still have the problem.

I figure this is a really specific condition that I have this problem under, and maybe someone can give me some advice.

TL;DR FPS drop and mouse lag, only after launching the game a 2nd time since PC reboot

Sounds like the game is shutting down properly when you are closing it and is leaving a portion resident in memory. As this doesn't happen to me it might have something to do with the memory on your machine ... not sure.

Every time I finish playing, I normally shut my machine down anyway ... so I have never experienced this problem at all.

Maybe some of the veterans out there could offer more solid advice. Sorry I can be of more help. :(
