Im also experiencing increased FPS lag from the most recent update.

The lag is a little varying, Im generally experiencing a very large degree of slowdown compared to before (lets say I get worse FPS now than when I was frapsing before the update)

and sometimes when I exit to the slot selection to go AFK and then come back and re-enter it can be so horribly slow that it is unplayable, A re-start of the game fixes this and reverts to the sluggishness above.

Got the ATI 6850 videocard

Experience it on all the servers and experience immediately. I did find out that everytime I join a sever that has recently had a restart I dont have any problems at all.

Interesting about the server restart... that could be why I didn't experience fps lag on Dallas 15 today. GOOD FIND!

Win 7 64bit

4GB ddr2 RAM

- Virginia and Dallas servers

- Usually first life/load/join is fine. If dying its a 50/50 chance of coming back laggy.

- 30% of the time it gets laggy with low blood, but a lot of times its after respawning. Usually server under full load.

Since 1.5.8.2

- I got Nvidia gtx 460 and Q9550.

- PrimeGaming Freelance Dayz Server

- It happened right after my character spawned in the game

- How often? See below

Today I joined a server and right as I spawned into the server, some guy wrote me in steam chat. somehow my fps were at 1! fps, and it didn't change over time. So I left. Maybe it's and issue with steam overlay?

I rejoined right after that. Then my fps were like 10-15. I left again.

I updated Battleye manually, going to this website http://www.battleye.com/download.html and following the instructions.

Then I checked all my games (ARMA 2, ARMA 2:OA, ARMA 2:BAF, ARMA 2:PMC) through steam with the "verify integrity of game cache" method. It downloaded a very small file (like 1 kb) for ARMA 2 and for ARMA 2:OA.

I joined the same server again, and my fps were better now (like 40 near the town, 25 in towns, at daytime ... but that's about what I'd get before the performance problems.)

I'm not sure if anything of the above "fixed" the problem or if it was a coincidence or whatever. But this was all on the same server on a timespan of about half an hour or so and the weather didn't change at all or only a little bit.

So you might give it a try and report back if it helped you. It might give some further clues about the problem to the developer of this mod.

FWIW I only experience the FPS issue during the day.

When I play on a server where it's night, I have no issue.

Windows 7 64 bit

ATI Radeon HD 5850 - 1GB - CrossFire Mode (Dual Cards)

Catalyst Device Drivers Version 12.4

Intel® Core™ i7 960 Processor (4x 3.20GHz/8MB L3 Cache)

3 GB [1 GB X3] DDR3-1600 Triple Memory Module - Kingston HyperX

MSI X58 PRO-E -- Intel X58 Chipset CrossFire and SLI Support Chipset w/8-ch HD Audio, Triple-Channel DDR3, Gb LAN, S-ATA Raid, USB 2.0, 3 PCI-E MB

It happens to me on all servers, so long as it's daytime.

As it can be seen between the two shots, it's a problem related to the GPU usage (the first value to the right from the GPU temp). On one server everything was ok, the next one is "broken".

ALSO, I notice that on the "bugged" servers, the one with low GPU usage and low FPS, if I drop something from inventory or move it from pouches to backpack (without any room in the bag it will drop that item to the floor) or vice-versa, the items which would normally should be on the floor, they just vanish/disappear and they are lost to the player. If someone else can confirm this it would be great.

Specs:

Intel: 2500k@4,7GHz

GPU: AMD 6970

RAM: 8GB

OS: WIN 7 64 bit

GAME: Arma 2 + ArmA OA bought + the DLC in lite version

The low FPS is there from the beginning of the game session.

I have AMD A8-3820 Quad Core with AMD Radeon Graphics

Installed:

Nvidia GeForce 560 TI Video Card

Location: Everywhere/Every Server ---- Very bad on Dallas and Virginia Servers

How Often: Every game session

How Long:

Most every game when I load in for the first 20-50 minutes game runs smoothly. Gets gradually worse (FPS) and lag. The longer I play the worse it gets. Some servers mainly all the Dallas and Virginia servers it starts right away. I ping all the servers and play on the ones with the lowest pings, which helps of course. No matter where I play though, the same result as stated above. It feels like there is a memory leak. Either way 20-50 minutes of smooth gameplay is better than 0 minutes.

Dallas 14, EU11 and others i briefly joined but forgot the names.

- How long into the game does it happen (immediately, after x mins, etc...)

About 20 FPS when i join and its playable. After death or reconnect it drops down to probably 5 - 10 FPs.

- How often it happens (always, sometimes, constantly, etc...)

Last 4 hours constantly. This morning i did not experience any of this.

Extra notes:

Some of my friend think it has to do with zombie bodies not despawning. And items not despawning, but also not respawning.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention but : massive GPU usage drop ( according to EVGA precision ) since 1.5.8.2. Maybe it will help.

- ATI 5770, recently updated drivers

- Any server

- Sometimes immediately. Sometimes FPS stutters build over time. Freshly restarted servers seem to run the smoothest.

- Hit or miss depending on which server is joined.

This happened some last night but i would just join a new server and it was fine. Today I can't find a game that isn't freaking out. I died at the NW airfield on day 7 and ended up getting on a different server to continue because the session was lost. The next thing I know I am at otmel and am getting 5 frames. Then I switched servers again and my character had turned somehow into a bandit with 26 zombie kills, 0 Murders, a bandit kill, and was already bleeding profusely and was at Kamenka. The next server I try I am still a bandit, Have full health but am Hemmoraging, am at Cap Golova and bleed out and die again. Not sure what is going on.

I did a bit more testing:

- Got in a server that was fine

- Played for a bit

- Closed game

- Re-opened game

- Re-connected to the same game

- Got BAD fps.

Looks like something isn't being cleaned up properly on DC

+1

The only games I got into with normal FPS had been recently restarted.

Nividia 460gtx

ANZ1-4/NZ1-2/US13

It happens when i get in...i think its a server side issue.

depends what server i go on...maybe 5/6 i try number 6 being the one i end up staying on for 4hrs+ (but on the other servers i go on like BRA2 i get in and no fps issue)

Thanks for everything Rocket
