Genki Dama 49 Posted June 10, 2012 I experience some lag while in the cities like elecktro and cherno. For example all the way to the city I would get 40-60 fps, once I hit the outside of the city, bam, 21 fps. I have came up with many theories as to why you can lag. Here they are.-You may be using version 1.6.0.1, which means that zombie bodies will not disappear once they are killed. Same for human player corpses as well.-You may not have a good enough system.-You are in a large city, such as Cherno or Elecktro, both of which house lots of zombies.-You are on a 1.7 server, but you don’t have the latest Beta ArmA 2 patch.-Code for the zombies and loot is taking up too much cpu/gpu resources, which can be fixed easily.The last one is actual the more logical reason as to why you will lag. I joined a server without any zombies, the server files were not working and there was no loot either, but basically while they were away, I got a constant 60fps (had v-sync on)-----------------------------------------HERE IS MY PC SPECGPU= GTX 680 2GBCPU= i7 950 @ 3.4GhzRAM= 6GBMB= X58 SabertoothPSU= Corsair 850WI think that the devs should focus on the coding for the zombies before make unnecessary changes e.g. the bandit skin change and stuff. Don't argue that you get lag from zombies because there are soo many on the server. No that is incorrect, I have found that a server with only 97 zeds, gives me exactly the same lag as a server with 500.Therefore I bring it down to the coding of the zombies. The next patch (1.8 or whatever) should focus on updating the zombie and loot coding and make sure that they do not take unnecessary cpu/gpu resources.This is not a rant, but rather advice for players that experience lag so it may help the a little bit and for help for the devs and what I think they should work.

For me that should be fixed so that they will do less when the player is not arround them. Haha I changed my settings from high to very low... got an extra 4fps.. woohoo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spriggan 1 Posted June 11, 2012 `I believe this lag everyone is experiencing isn't from our side but from the server it self. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
