Same Performance issues that plague ArmA 2

[burdy 11]

I'll start off by saying - the game is beautiful, and I love everything about it. Hats off to BI for an amazing Alpha. Also, I do know the game is in alpha - but I am getting the same CPU limiting issues that I got in Arma 2, where it would drop to 22-24 fps when a firefights with more then 4 squads broke out, but with no AI action, I would get 40-60 FPS near ultra. I don't believe my specs are the problem either - 8gb Ram, Intel Core i5 760 @ 4.0ghz, ATI Radeon 7970. Hoping to have these issues sorted out, as they never really left me in ArmA 2 :(

AI needs a lots of CPU power for calculation, hence the performance drop, and keeping everything synchronized is more important then raw computer power, hence the bottleneck, atless this is where I think the problem lies.

There's already a thread for it:

And I'm pretty sure it's the same issue I/we had in Arma 2...

Except that none of my stuff ever goes over 1/2 usage and I get 20 fps... including cpu

Yeah, same exact issue as from ArmA 2

If it needs, why doesn't it use the power? Put it on the other cores merely running at 20%, instead of lagging the game to hell and back with FPS on the minus.

Game just needs better optimization

Pretty much the same thing is happening with me.

I get solid 40fps, 30 in towns during SP

However, once i join MP, my fps drops to 20, 10 in towns, and sometimes even less.

PC Specs:

AMD Athlon II X3 425 @ 3.0 ( Upgrading soon, but even though it's not the greatest CPU ever, 9fps in mp is ridiculous )

ATI/AMD Radeon HD 6850 (BARTS PRO)

4x1GB DDR2 667
