Multiplayer FPS drops

[Col_Disco 0]

Hi guys,

sry if this doesn't fit here, but I don't know who could help me anymore.

My Problem: In every multiplayer game in Arma 2 I get massivly FPS drops. Normaly my FPS are 60-80 at very high settings. Singleplayer is working perfectly, but multiplayer doesn't.

These FPS drops are every 2 seconds. So its not playable.

I hope you can help me.

greetz,

I have this exact same issue. Every 2 seconds I get a huge fps stutter. Single player is fine. Multiplayer on non DayZ servers is fine. DayZ servers instantly give me this stutter. It makes the game almost unplayable right now.

Its all the zombies guys.... and I guess the servers are not use to this many people and the data coming to your pc must be slowing it down a tad too, fucking sucks I get good fps sp..

I don't think it's the zombies since I can be in the middle of nowhere and get it. I heard rocket say something about the debug menu causing this type of issue before but that was supposed to have been fixed a patch ago.

I actually recorded a video of the lag I was experiencing while dicking with streaming software.

Here is the link to the video I recorded. Ignore quality etc, but you can see the 2 second stutter lag very easily. Just mute the audio, it's unrelated.

This doesn't happen on any other ARMA mods/programs. Any ideas?

I fixed this, maybe my fix will help someone else? I dunno if any of this helped but.

I updated to the latest version of DayZ, following this I boosted my 3d resolution to 100% instead of 75%. I restarted my computer, then I copy pasted all my DayZ files from common/steam/arma2operation arrowhead etc etc, into common/steam/arma2 etc etc. I dunno if that helped but the lag started when I stopped updating the ARMA 2 folder files and only updated my Op arrowhead ones.

I fixed this issue by updating GFX drivers, flash + java, and doing a few computer restarts.

Thanks, but unfortunately it didn't solved my problem. It's on every Arma Version and Server..

Guys, they drastically increased the visibility range setting, which is a server-side setting in ArmA 2. That means there is nothing that can be done on your end, every fix people have suggested here is a placebo. We must demand that the developer sets the visibility back to what it was before.

I have FPS drops too , in SP . MP , in any server not only DayZ... Some days ago was fine but now its unplayable.

I have horrible FPS also, sits around 10 in multiplayer, around 30-35 single player (which is more than fine).
