Crazy Problems(Starting Up, Graphical Lag)

[Swaveyy 0]

So i deleted all of my arma 2 and arrow head folders, re installed both games, downloaded six updater, updated, then ran six launcher and did all that stuff(verifying and all that jazz) and launched. Arma 2 took about 15 minutes to get to the main menu and even though i set all the graphics to the lowest possible setting and disabled a few things like shadows and postprocessing, i still got a ton of lag.

I have a pretty awesome computer with a brand new EVGA GTX550TI graphics card so i don't understand how i would get lag. I play every other game on ultra graphics with 45+ FPS..

Somebody please help me out.

PS

I've already ran Steam as Admin and i verified the integrety of game cache

Also, sometimes when i launch, i get a error saying Addon "dayz_anim" requires addon ca_counterattack something something

So are you running plain old Arma? or are you starting up Arma with DayZ?

I just open up six launcher and hit launch

Try running the game without DayZ. See if the normal, unmodded game will launch without a problem.
