Need help with FPS problems.

[Blodzilla 1]

Hi guys,

I have never really had any fps problems in any games... Today I bought ARMA 2: CB from the steam store and it ran fine in the basic ARMA 2 maps, but in any Dayz server, I have horrible fps problems. I was hoping if anyone could give me suggestions on fixing this problem.

Note: I have the same amount of fps (~10) in all graphic settings whether is be very high, or low.

Thanks

If the graphic settings do not change anything for you then your cpu is not able to run DayZ (keep in mind that arma is really cpu heavy ) so buy a nice intel quad core and you should be fine.

Any settings u adjust in singleplayer are allmost irrelevant as THE SERVER determines all graphical settings except for resolution, this game is a CPU hog not graphics, u need at least a 3ghz quad to get the best from it & i'm not talking AMD here people.

Also the highest ping/lagger on the server will cause others to drop frames, find servers with pings below 50, stay away from servers with a ping any higher.
