mordeaniischaos 3 Posted August 2, 2014 If I witness even a single burst from the A-10 (or the A-100 or whatever the future A-10 vanilla aircraft is) hit the ground, my performance is obliterated. This didn't used to be an issue. I am running Blastcore but I didn't have this problem until recent patches and I've been using Blastcore since it's release with no problem. Specs are as follows: i7 3770k 16GB Corsair Platinum 1800 DDR3 GTX 680 Windows 8.1 64bit I should be able to handle the particles just fine. I've even turned particles down to low and it still occurs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainObvious 95 Posted August 2, 2014 And without Blastcore? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mordeaniischaos 3 Posted August 2, 2014 And without Blastcore? Without any mods at all it takes about 2-3 bursts. Without it and at low settings it takes quite a few. But it's not a gradual framerate drop. It goes from pretty much steady to just halting and hitching and the FPS drops to single digits. HRM... I just noticed that Blastcore isn't in my ArmA 3 directory or showing up in game. So I guess it was never a part of the problem. Not sure what happened to it though o.o haha ---------- Post added at 14:33 ---------- Previous post was at 14:15 ---------- Installed Blastcore and a full addon load (JSRS, AGM, bunch of others) and it seems like blastcore is exactly the same. It's a bit weird. I noticed that sometimes getting closer to existing particles after impact would cause issues, sometimes it would happen just as the lifespan of particles ended, it was all over the place. ---------- Post added at 15:02 ---------- Previous post was at 14:33 ---------- I've tried overloading the game with particles with the AH-9 and there weren't any problems. In fact I'm noticing they seem to have optimized the minigun's impacts because where as they used to bring the framerate down noticably (not below playable generally, but it was certainly felt) but they no longer significantly drain performance. Even with my full rocket payload expended as quickly as possible followed immediately by continued minigun fire into a surface that provides impact particles, I still have no real performance issues.

mamasan8 11 Posted August 2, 2014 I've experienced this as well. At first I thought it was JSRS but then I tried without it and the same happened, dropped to 1-3 FPS. Sound starts crackling. This didn't happen before 1.24. I have A-10s and Blackfoots circling a town, not sure which (or both) crafts that cause it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
motherfuckerjones 10 Posted August 2, 2014 Turn your sound quality down in your sound settings. Control panel>Hardware and Sound>Sound>Speakers (Or whatever you are using)>Advanced>Adjust sound quality to something lower (what i have is 24bit 44100Hz). If THAT doesn't work for you try going into your sound card settings (for me its Dell Audio) and adjusting the settings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rath 10 Posted August 3, 2014 Just curious, what map/maps does this happen on for you guys? Did tweaking audio settings work like Jones mentioned? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mamasan8 11 Posted August 4, 2014 I didn't do a lot of testing but it seemed to get fixed by lowering sound cards settings to 24bit 48k Hz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
