Whats up with the fps lag?

[etc (DayZ) 1]

I can run Arma 2 on single player perfectly fine, low settings, getting a range of 50-60 fps no lower.

 

On DayZ I get around 30 fps, and once it drops (after about 10 minutes of playing or entering a town) it doesn't go back up. So I'm at about 12-18. On a lower resolution... Same low settings though.

 

Is it something with Arma 2's multiplayer? Problem in DayZ? The server I was on had 0 people on besides me.

Yes. Also, not all servers are created equal.

Several things could be effecting your FPS. The insanely large amount of loot spawns in the city, the spawning of zombies cross-map (someone is at NWA and spawned zombies), or the server has a lot of scripts running and custom buildings added in their database/ mission file.

Hmm, i also seem to have the fps issue on Wasteland mod as well. Are there custom buildings there too?

Again on singleplayer the fps is perfectly fine, constant 50+
