Fps drops in MP

Recommended Posts

HI,

my problem is that dayZ has fps drops every 2-3 seconds.

I´ve already reinstalled Arma 2 Oa and I defragged my HDD.

But this didnt change anyting.

This only happens in MP. The SP runs good with 35-60 fps.

I play on "high" to "very high"

my sys specs:

Windos 7 Home Premium 64-bit

hd 5850

AMD Phenom II x6 1055T @2.8GHz (in Turbo Mode @3.2GHz)

8Gb RAM

(tell me if u need more information)

i hope someone can help me with my problem.

I have the same issue. It's just that the game is so poorly optimized that many systems struggle to run it efficiently.

Saints Row 3 did the exact same thing and they haven't even fixed it yet for the ones who are having problems

Its poorly optimized and even with a $10,000 super computer after 30mins ingame your FPS will nose dive to almost unplayable.,.

Arma 3 will probably be the same its the same ancient game engine just with even more fancy lighting that can go wrong.

It was made prior to streaming technologies and your client just tries to render everything even if you cant see it. Its proper old school :)

Too bad that this game is so poorly optimized, because its really fun in Mp (especially the dayZ mod). But its unplayable with these random fps drops

Update: I played on another computer with the following specs:

hd 7850 (ccc ver. 14.4)

Intel Core i7-2600k @3.4 Ghz (8 Cores)

16gb Ram

Win 7 home Premium 64-bit

I know that this system is much better than mine, but I can play this game on max settings without any problems. Almost constant 60fps... Is it possible that my CPU ( AMD Phenom II x6 1055T @2.8GHz) is the thing that causes the random fps drops or is it my gpu?

i hope someone can tell me.

I dont think it's either, if you look on the forums more, tons of people are having the same problem, so far it seems kind of random.

I for one had this problem for a very long time, then now when I play it at least gets above 12 FPS.

Usually I ran it at a constant 8-10 FPS, and when I played with my friends, they actually ran faster than me. I would watch their screens and my guy looked hilarious, since he was running at a full out sprint, yet I was going to faster then they go crouching.

I looks like I solved my problem. I used Auslogics Disk Defrag to defrag my HDD and now I run the mp with a minimum of 35fps.

I hope this will help the people who have the same issue.

Ps: I used the option defrag & optimize.

PPs: I still have these fps drops in Arma 2 mp ( not arma2 OA)

DayZ is still running like crap for me. Normal ARMA is running great with the same settings.

Update: I still have the problems. But after defragging my HDD with the tool, I had 40-60fps and only 1 fps drop per minute...

So it didnt help very much

Hey guys .... i think i know what the issue is. Could not find out what exactly but this helped me:

Turn your Firewall/AV off!

Does it help you? If yes i would make a solution post for all of us. :)

Hi,

so i can tell u that I totally removed the FPS drops while playing.

I´ll tell u what I did:

1) I used Auslogics Disk Defrag (used defrag & optimize)

2) I turn off my Firewall while playing.. this fixes the freezing every 3 seconds

3) I´m using the beta patch 93965, with Arma X ( so its non Steam)... A higher patch gives me an error message when I try to join a server. "This server is running an incorrect version of the server side application. Please contact... "

4) I´m using CCC ver. 12.6 (HD 5850)

5) I´m using these start parameters: -noSplash -maxmem=5096 -exThreads=7 ( I dont know if they help, but they didnt made anything worse.

6) I´m not using the Six Updater

I hope this will fix the FPS Drop problen for most of u guys.

Ps: Now I`m running this game with almost constant 45fps (+/- 15... about 30-35 in big cities( such as Chernarus) and 40+ in forests, free areas ( also with Zombies) and small cities

Tell me if this helped u to fix ur problems.

Have fun and good luck
