Arma3beta MultiPlayer FPS drop

[radi0n 10]

In coop games like Domination/ Invade i have good 35 -60 fps. In Wasteland mode i have always about 25 or less fps. BUT even in coop games when server is almost full 38/40 i have good frame rate but also have big frame drops from 45 to 20 fps in 5-7 sec. When i play with 5/40 players is ok. No frame drops..

arma3beta - on 50% gfx quality

Win 7 64bit

I found that my fps has dropped since the beta also.

typically getting 80-100fps on editor

but on multiplayer with nobody else on the server its around 40-65. now that may look fine

but the lag is very noticeable its not smooth like it should be. Was getting much better performance during the alpha.

Play SaMatra Wasteland it has 20-30 FPS more then other Wasteland mods.

I have this problem as well. Im on a Win7 64 bit 8GB RAM GTX680SLI rig on an OC'ed i5-2500k at 4.6Ghz. Single player is fine and some MP servers are fine. Every now and then I am on a server that does this (depicted in your video). I defragged my HD, have the game on a 10000 RPM RAID 0, and checked all my settings on my LAN and NIC.

Thats the RPT file issue with it writing out errors in this constantly so conflicting with your read/writes on the hard disk as the ArmA engine relies on streaming so needs this.

Create a RamDrive and use the profiles command to change where your profile is (copy over existing profile) and you will see a difference.

(-profiles=X:\profiles (X: being your new ramdrive))

[radi0n 10]

where i can found profiles command

My Arma3 launch options in Steam:

-skipIntro -nosplash -profiles=L:\

L: is the ram disk

I use free ramdisk software from:

http://memory.dataram.com/products-and-services/software/ramdisk

Create ramdisk. Set lauch options as above. Run arma3.

Arma create default config files in ramdisk:.

Close arma and copy/replace cfg files from My Documents/Arma3 to ramdisk:

L:\Users\YOUR_NAME

done

I did post another thread seeing if the rtp file could be toggled off but seems overlooked, ah well glad this worked for a few others.

[radi0n 10]

I have in my launch options in steam: -nosplash -nologs -world=empty

But arma creates files like arma3_2013-07-15_19-26-39.rpt every time

[Dwarden 1124]

I noticed you have an AMD processor. Do you find your multiplayer fast and smooth, or slow and laggy.

Here are my stats:

GTX 560

-AMD Phenom II x4 840T Processor 2.90 GHz

-6.00 GB

-64 Bit

-1 terrabyte hardrive

My multiplayer experience is slow and choppy. Is there a highend AMD processor that will make my mp more smooth?
