Suddenly low FPS on all servers

[khaenz 93]

I had played this morning and then taken a nap for 6 hours. I woke up, did some stuff, and then played DayZ. When it had loaded, I was at Pik Kozlova with 4 FPS. I tried joining another server, same problem. I joined 2 others, also same problem.

 

I then though it was about time I actually optimized ArmA 2, so I did the ultimate optimization and tweaks guide. I then tested the FPS in ArmA 2 OA on Chernarus. I looked from Veresnik to the distance, and I got 120 FPS.

 

I tried it again in Chernogorsk, 35-42 FPS. Pik Kozlova, I got 95 FPS.

 

This is probably nothing wrong with my hardware, I have a pretty good graphics card, GTX660, and I could run ArmA 2 at around 100 FPS in the woods and 35 in cities. I'm pretty sure this doesn't have to do with graphics then, is it perhaps my CPU that has some problem with DayZ?

 

It had ran just fine this week, I got a good around 30 FPS usually when playing anywhere, in the woods, in cities, in towns, in plains etc. and it was playable.

What's your CPU?

What's your CPU?

AMD Phenom II X4 850. 3300 Mhz and quad-core.

AMD Phenom II X4 850. 3300 Mhz and quad-core.

Could possibly be your CPU. I would try running everything at normal, see how that works out.

Nevermind, problem is fixed now. I just tried waiting 3 hours and then joining a server with a higher population, and I'm getting good FPS.

I'm guessing this is only a problem with official servers that have a population of less than 10.

This is very very mysterious.

There is only one man for the job.

Holy shit. I WANT YOUR PC!

 

 

And some programs just kind've have crap-out periods. No matter of man can induce the condition or end it prematurely.
