Game (Overpoch) becomes unplayable after a minute

[Demoth 366]

I am hoping this is the place to post this. If not, any redirection to the appropriate forum section would be appreciated. But you chaps seem to be fairly intelligent.

 

So I convinced my friend to get the game, (Arma 2 and OA) so we could play Overpoch together. Now his system is stronger than mine, but after about 1 to 2 minutes of play time, his FPS starts to rapidly drop until the game is choppy and unplayable for him.

 

I have attempted to help in every way available online, from the editing of .cfg files to the DayZ Launcher / CCG Launcher launch parameters, to the video settings / advanced settings tweaks.

 

Nothing seems to help. After a minute or two, the game just becomes super choppy. And it usually gets REALLY bad if zombies are around.

 

Also, in the DayZ Launcher, he is trying to "validate Arma 2" and it stays locked at 0%. His path directory is accurate, and the game validates on Steam, but not through the DayZ launcher. Just FYI.

 

Here are his comp specs.

Really all I can suggest is, reinstall, play a different server. Because those specs are rather beefy for this. So it seems like it should run it just fine. Other than that. I have no other suggestions. But I know from personal experience. CCG has a very bad lag problem for most American and non- European players on any of there servers. (And yes, even the US ones for the Americans) So really your best bet is to go play Firecock overpoch (love their servers) Or ATD, I think their name is. Just grab the dayz launcher and type in Overpoch. There are plently of populated banking servers like CCG. Enjoy.
