Terrible Frame Rate Online

[jkklingelhofer 0]

Hello! I'm running on a pretty good laptop. When playing the single player campaign of Arma 2 I'm able to run at normal/high settings and achieve an average of 27-32 frames per second. However, when I shift to playing day Z mod online, my frame rate drops to 10-15 FPS on the very lowest settings, except for the frame rate which is at 100%.

What's more interesting that there is only a 2-3 FPS difference between the lowest settings and normal/high settings online, when normally typically the difference is 10-15. Is this an issue with my hardware? And if so, which component?

Keep in mind I have decent internet speed, but I am running on wireless. Would a wired internet connection improve my performance? Thank you all so much in advance!

"LAPTOP" - There's you problem. :)

I forget which way this goes but when you put your settings on low, the game is more cpu dependent. If you put it on high, it is gpu dependent.

The low fps is for everyone. It has improved from previous patches, though.

So what is it about the online play that makes the frame rate a third of that in single player? I've seen other peoples streams of their day Z playing and they seem to be running it fine. Is it a more server specific problem?
