kim.bedin@gmail.com 0 Posted May 23, 2012 Complete bs' date=' nearly everyone in that thread has either an amd proccesor and/or amd gpu. The ones that dont have either sli or a dual gpu like the 590 gtx or 690 gtx. So I guess that dual gpu's are just as bad for arma as sli and crossfire is.[/quote']What you say is possible, as I do have a dual GPU 690 GTX.As I said before, I don't mean to be a self-entitled asshole with an expensive videocard, but I had no problems with 1.5.7 and never had any problems with the rest of Arma 2 / OA. It's only logical to conclude that 1.5.8 introduced a problem for a sizeable group of players.In any case, I realise that it's an alpha and I'm not complaining, only reporting.I'll try running 1.5.8 with one of the GPUs disabled when I get home and report back.

Soeg 3 Posted May 23, 2012 Ah I have expierenced that with my old rig before OA was released bat, I always solved it by turning my texture detail up, and then down to my old setting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chip type: ATI display adapter (0x68B8)2. Dallas 1 and a couple others I left immediately. Seemingly random locations.3.It's pretty immediate when loading in. Even the bottom right corner feels a little slower 'typing out' the map name and location. It seems to last indefinitely.4.It might possibly be restricted to server weather like one person seem to suggest rather then location.Thus not all north American servers not sharing the issue for me. I haven't had it happen often enough, nor stuck around long enough to identify the possible source of the condition either. =/Hope this helps! =3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miqueloz 33 Posted May 23, 2012 When and where it happens seems completely random. Sometimes it's completely unplayable (1-5 fps) and sometimes you can play but can't really aim in close quarters (15ish fps?). Restarting ArmA 2 will often change how FPS laggy it is. Even if you join the same server. Ati radeon 6800 series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't remember which ones.-Sometimes immediately, sometimes after first respawn, and other times it will slowly degrade the fps as I play.-All day yesterday, randomly. Sometimes Constantly for several hours. Other times it would be good for an hour or so.Edit: As a note, I'm playing on all normal settings, no v-sync etc. And prior to this patch, I could play the game on close to max settings with high FPS. I changed it to normal settings (in advanced) to see if this would help the fps but it doesn't! It goes as low as 6fps at beach!Edit2: Also! Sometimes closing ARMA and rebooting the game fixes it, but other times my initial load in will be terrible as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tykjen 2 Posted May 23, 2012 The major fps issue just occured for me. First time so far.Nvidia 560TiServer was Norway 1It happened today; I respawned in the server after last nights action. The fps was all nice as before, until I respawned at the beach after major bloodloss. From then on it was 5fps. I checked my gpu observer logs, and it showed the gpu working at 10% after the respawn, while before the respawn it was normally at 80%+. It seems the cpu becomes forced to do all the work.

Only server restart helps. item despawning (zombies too?) doesnt work like it used to. now when I throw something out of my inventory it stays in the world very long time even when there are no one around. Server restart helped and everyone confirmed in the chat.edit: might be that ppl with very good connections or computers dont see the difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valhingen 0 Posted May 23, 2012 - AMD Radeon HD 6900- all so far (but thats not many)- from the moment Im in- hard to say for meProblem is (and always was) that I need at least 30min to make it past serverfull>server not full but receiving data>received but waiting for response>Oh, Im a bird/Oh, Im in bug forrest>yay, Im in a game! (oh, fps is in zero digits..)So I sadly don't have the time to test too many servers in the time I have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

roflwaffles 0 Posted May 23, 2012 video card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560Servers: ive joined several dallas and chicago servers with no change best luck ive had so far is with a portland server that was up last night that does not seem to be up anymorewhen it starts: generally it is immediately in all locations, if one does manage to get into the game with no lag once you die you have a very high chance to lag when you respawnhow often it happens: about 80% of the time its brokenplayer fixes tried: -ive tried the battleeye fix which did nothing for me-restarting the game when lag presents itself does work sometimes but it is not a good fix-ive tried switching high settings to low then back again which also does not work for me-adding -winxp in the target line of your launcher does increase fps a bit but it is still unplayable -joining servers with lower playerbase does not work for me-dont know if this one was listed but i found that a fresh dayz install does get rid of the fps issue for a short period on first launch but reappears as soon as you die(at least for me)id also like to add that prior to the 1.5.8.2 patch i had no complaints it ran as smooth as a babies bottom thanks for all your hard work in advance rocket Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
