New update, worse FPS?

[imrevned 1]

Is it just me, or are you guys getting lower FPS now? And I am experiencing major mouse delay (while at 40 FPS).

Not complaining or whining as I know this is alpha and stuff like this is to be expected, but I am wondering if it's a known problem or just something on my end.

EDIT:

Okay, I discovered that I actually did get quite an FPS boost, but I have mouse delay now.

EDIT 2:

I followed the fix that Fuse linked, and I changed post-process to "Normal", everything feels much smoother now ^_^

It's the other way around for me, I'm getting a massive fps boost since the last update. Almost as if I'm in the editor with absolutely no AI/scripts while I'm on 40-60 player servers.

The latest Dev version runs much smoother for me. Mp is pretty Enjoyable As well.

[synddd 2]

Mine is running much better, went from 30fps to 60fps.

Still crashing at lease once every mp mission round

I would say that FPS changes are minimal but that the game is smoother now.

When I first got into the game I did experience some weird mouse lag that made me think my FPS had gone down. Then I alt-tabbed out and back in and it was fine for some reason, and FPS seemed higher.

My game crashes way way more than it did before. I have been trying to get to grips with wasteland maps but I am just sick of the crashes that make my mouse disappear until I use the keyboard to terminate arma3.exe

I am probably just going to wait for a few more updates before trying to really give the game more of my time.

[imrevned 1]

Hmm.. I wonder why it seems like I am the only one getting negative performance :/

Probably cause my AMD graphics card ;_;

I'm on a 5870, so that's not it.

I got an HD 5770 and I never had this many crashes on the previous version. Although it might have something to do with the wasteland mission I have been trying to get to grips with. With arma 1 I limited myself to Evolution Blue missions because the other ones were just confusing and I had no idea what the point was or anything. This time on A3 I want to at least give them a try and see if I can figure out the purpose. SO there may be a connection with the crashes and the fact that I have been doing nothing other than going into wasteland servers.

I crashed a lot before, so I am used to that, but I now have major mouse delay. It is impossible to play (well, I can play, I just can't shoot someone).

[Fuse 1]

I get about 1000 more FPS. Since benchmarks are apparently avoided like the plague by posters here then you just have to take my word for it.

See if this helps.

I just did a test, I uninstalled all of my graphics drivers and hopped into editor and spawned in Agia Marina. My FPS was 50-70 while in the city (much better), yet I still had the mouse delay. It felt like when you put v-sync on in Valve games, if you are familiar with that delay (I don't have v-sync or mouse smoothing enabled in Arma 3).

I will try the link you sent me, thanks!

Very High/Ultra. When I change the settings to low, it doesn't help :(

About to try the fix that Fuse posted.

same lowering doesnt help, will search for that fix

[dwaight 17]

No message received.... what the heck its on every server.

This is the fix he is referring to. Unfortunately it is not an FPS fix but a possible fix for the mouse lag imrevned was experiencing.

[imrevned 1]

Just to clarify, lowering the settings did increase my FPS a lot, but not the mouse lag.

The fix and lowering the post-process got rid of the lag, or at least made it feel a lot more accurate.

Radeon 5870 here too like another, I have been on the dev channel for most of Alpha so far, latest update that was pushed to 'Stable' channel has better FPS but when I run forward or drive I notice it stutters a bit.
