Snucker 10 Posted August 30, 2013 I have the required system specs to play Arma 2, Arma 2 OA, and DayZ and I used to run the game fine. For Months now I have been looking for a fix and all the posted topics on every forum I have tried have not worked so I have come here to look for a solution. Basically, the game runs at about 30-50 FPS fine, for about 3 seconds then I get 3 seconds of Lag/Stutter where the game gets a bit choppy. This is in SP and MP, on DayZ and many other addons. I have tried turning vsync + triple buffering on, nothing. Tried turning vsync off, nothing. I have tried everything and It just won't stop the most annoying stutter ever! System specs: Processor: Intel Core i5 GPU: Nvidia Geforce GT525m 640GB Hard drive I can post a video of if needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manlee06 10 Posted September 25, 2013 (edited) Same thing happens to me. Game plays smooth for a while then it goes slow and drops to about 5 frames per second for a few seconds and back to normal again. Repeats endlessly. Needs a fix as it makes the game unplayable. I had ArmA 2 Free installed prior to original if that affects gameplay. System specs: Windows Vista Home Premium Intel Core 2 Duo 8400 @ 3.00 GHz Nvidia GeForce GT 545 DDR3 @ 1500MB 4GB RAM Edited October 4, 2013 by manlee06 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

domokun 515 Posted October 4, 2013 @Snucker: your GPU is a mobile one and your CPU specified, so maybe your machine is a little on the weak side.

pulstar 55 Posted November 21, 2013 How many cores would it take to overcome the fps-halting smoke wall of shame? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
domokun 515 Posted November 23, 2013 Depends on CPU speed and your draw distance but I had a dual core @ 3.6Hz (OCed E8400) and ran at 2.4km without any major slow-downs. Truth is that unless you're a pilot or sniper 1600m is sufficient in most situations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
