Need help - Friend can't run OA without giant amounts of lag

[linkybaa 2]

He can run other games perfectly fine, getting 60fps on Skyrim with high settings, but no matter what the settings are on Arma, he lags. Even in the main menu, he only gets a few frames. We've tried hyperthreading, changing launch options, restarting, running as admin, reinstallation, changing settings, downloading drivers, windowed mode etc. but nothing's been working! Can anyone help?

Yes, i probably could. But due to the lack of information in your post, i can't.

Also, don't try to compare the Arma engine with any other games/engines, they are 2 very different beasts.

What info would you like? He's perfectly capable of running the game, dual core @3.0GHz, 4GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 5700 with 1GB VRAM. Not the best card, but it does the job.

tell him to upgrade his toaster.

Check the specs, he's capable of running. It turns out when he runs it, it uses 100% of his CPU. How can he fix this?

[Blindingsun 233]

change his settings higher so they use the GPU

Not helped sadly.

Anyone else?

Imo, most games run very bad on dual-core CPUs these days. Try to upgrade to a quad.
